    65” LG OLED 4k 3D TV

    Hey everyone, In my last move across country I had to slim down to what would fit in my convertible to move from Vegas to Pennsylvania. This meant leaving behind my treasured TV in the storage unit. Moving my stuff is just prohibitively expensive and so I’ve decided I am probably best off...

    Smaller Labels - Film Fans need SDH!

    I have a good friend who is a young guy but still has hearing issues, he has good days and bad days with it. But the only films he can be sure of being able to view are those that include English subtitles. He's started a petition to bring some light to this issue where often Blu-Rays have no...

    Follow this Topic now broken on iPad

    Ever since the new tagging box went in I can't manually follow posts anymore with the follow button. I click it in Safari on the iPad and I get the little spinning circle bar in the status bar that shows that info is being sent, but then it never actually follows the post. The only way to do it...

    Los Angeles Area Members Meetup

    Well I guess this MIGHT be an appropriate place to figure out a plan for how to do this?I'm thinking sometime in September might be good to give everyone ample time to block the date aside?

    Just wanted to give a heads up to any members in LA that want to come support 1776, there's a screening at the Aero theater in Santa Monica July 3 at 7:30. I'll be there with Peter Hunt who will do a Q&A afterwards. Perhaps Sony will take some notice of this screening being well attended and get...

    Forum is cramped on iPad

    I do 99.5% of my forum time on the iPad in the browser, I'm not too partial to using apps and whatnot for websites, as I like keeping all my tabs going on Safari.My question is, is it possible to make the "Recent Topics" sidebar optional as a preference?Due to the limited width of the page in...

    WTB: Criterion Blu-Ray and DVD

    I'm working on building a complete collection of Criterions, and now that I'm down to the last 200 or so that I need, I thought I'd post a master list here of what I'm looking for and if anyone is looking to sell they can PM me. I'll keep this list updated as my needs decrease:On Blu-Ray:166 -...

    Can't see all the films!

    On both my iPad and a laptop, the right edge of the voting thing is cut off by the right column of the forum info, and there's no way to scroll or resize.

    Just got my first feature gig.

    Wanted to spread the news, and since it's nearly 2am I can't call people so figured I'd post here. Just had a 4 hour meeting with the producers of a feature and I'm hired to direct my first feature (at least my first feature I didn't pay for lol). I've been working on the script with the writer...

    Disney just bought LucasFilm! - Will Disney release the Original Versions of Star Wars?

    http://www.deadline.com/2012/10/disney-acquires-lucasfilm-star-wars-creator/ This is probably the only way I'd ever suggest that was possible. They've also announced STAR WARS SEVEN. Wow.

    Mitsubishi 3-D Adapter

    Always figured I could get this when I needed it, and with Dial M coming out, I decided it was time - only now it seems to be discontinued and my only option is to buy a full retail price kit which costs almost what I paid for the TV! Anyone have any suggestions besides finding one of the old...

    Complete Criterion Collection

    I realized that I need something to collect, and decided that I've always had it in the back of my mind to complete a total Criterion Collection. I'm talking every spine number, Laserdisc, DVD and Blu. Has anyone else done this? I figure someone must have done it from the beginning and kept up...

    EVITA- bluray 5-22-12.

    If you go looking for this at Best Buy, they've put it in the Family Blu section of all places... Glad they put the doc on here but can't retire the Criterion for lack of commentary... Now that "The Game" has been announced for Criterion, we can all start bitching until this one gets picked up...

    License To Drive - missing extras on Blu

    Anyone know why the major features from the DVD (commentary, Deleted Scenes, Alternate Ending, etc.) were dropped for the Blu release of "License To Drive"? AFAIK both releases are from Anchor Bay/Starz under license from Fox.... I'm disappointed as now I have to go track the DVD down as well as...

    SNL Season 4

    Well might as well start this thread - This should be coming out at the end of the year. I know I'm looking forward to the Margot Kidder show and "Fred Garvin: Male Prostitute" Just finished season 3, and 4 will be the last year with this cast, since Aykroyd and Belushi leave before season...

    Magnolia and Boogie Nights on 5/8 - anything new?

    I saw on the bits today that these two are being reissued on 5/8, and (if you look at my image) I'm obviously a big fan of these films. I'd seen the 2 disc releases at Costco for very cheap in the last few months, so were these out of print and being brought back? or is there something...

    Identity

    Anyone else been watching this one? This is the one primetime game show that I haven't gotten bored with. Plus Penn Jillette is always entertaining.

    The Loop - Season 2

    This is coming soon, time to start this one up! I loved the first season - my main thought was that I wish they'd focus on the office sections of the show, which the producers apparantly agreed with since the show has been refocused along those lines. Season 2 looks to be a short one as...

    Larry Sanders Season 1 - Again?

    I was looking at the bits upcoming releases art page, and next to the Sanders Best of set was a new packaging for the First Season, apparantly to be released again on the same day. Does this mean that they're going to relaunch season sets if these releases do well? I remember Gord Lacey from...

    All In The Family Season Four Image Quality

    It had been a while since looking at the other sets and I had forgotten just how dreadful these look. The show is good enough though that you can deal with the look of degraded early 70's videotape though. The one thing that shocked me though was watching the episode with Archie's 50th...

    Akai CFT3090 30" WS TV - Service Mode and other stuff

    The service mode trick (power off, mute-1-8-2-power) for the 27" Akai doesnt work on this model. The wide mode has pretty severe overscan, and there doesn't seem to be a way to do a "zoom" mode for non anamorphic widescreen sources. The panorama mode simply stretches out the sides and is...

    But What If I Don't Have A Home Phone?

    It seems that I can't have Tivo or Replay unless it is plugged into a phone... I am renting in a house where the owner doesnt keep a land line, we all just use our cell phones, and so basically if I want Tivo, am I going to have to bite the bullet and pay an additional $50 a month or so for...

    from my friend... I need the following info from someone that has the Columbia reissue of 1776 (not the Pioneer version) I stupidly sold this years ago when I needed some cash, figuring my Pioneer Copy would be all I needed, but now that Im doing a comprehensive comparison of every version...
