    Search for The Final Countdown

    I just sent in the following review to DVD Empire. The One line Summary is "The FInal Letdown." Let's see if they actually post it. THE FINAL COUNTDOWN will never be confused with terrific cinema, but it has a place in the hearts of many sci-fi fans for it's creative premise and impressive...

    Which to get: Akai CFT2790, Samsung TXL2791F, or Toshiba 27A41

    I've had this set since the summer and loved it. Can it be set to display native PAL signals as is done with multi-scan TVs?

    Intellectual Property Hypocrisy?

    Whose do we use then? :frowning: If I can't use mine, I will have to use somebody elses. Then I'll owe them monetary compensation for theft of their intellectual property. :D P.S.: BTW Ron (Mr. Forum Owner & Master of Info-flow), how do you track how many units of a disc are sold as a...

    Blue Specks on Laserdisc Picture?

    It's Blue Meanie Measles!!! :D If it's the dreaded Blue Meanie Measles, it can look like rot, but is actually something a little different: a dirty pressing. I have had several LDs with this syndrome, Four Weddings and a Funeral being one of them. It had the Blue Meanie Measles from day...

    Friday night I was forced to do something absolutly terrible!

    I must admit that I still frequently view VHS, as I still have a very library of consisting of titles in their OAR that are not yet available on DVD. I also have many titles not on DVD or LD on VHS, which may or may not be in their OAR. Until these are released on disc, they will have to...

    Legend - I just don't get it....?

    I love THE KEEP as is, though it has only a passing resemblence to the book on which it was based. I love the book as well, and both are favorites of mine in the genre. I was not aware that this movie was not the director's (Michael Mann) cut. Can anyone tell me what was lost, and if the...

    R1 Paul verhoeven's Spetters is coming on 11/5

    Will the director's cut be the same cut that was released on LD by Pioneer/HBO a few years back? Link Removed With MGM being a VERY mainstream company, I can't help but wonder if the film will be cut in any way due to the very adult nature of the fully in-view male masturbation/measurement...

    "Wizards", anyone?

    I've been ready to retire the old full frame laser on this one for years now. It's the same master they used for the original Fox "Playhouse Video" label in the late 80's, and boy does it show it's age.

    Would you buy a DTS-only DVD movie over a DD one?

    I'm for putting the bits in the picture over the sound, as in most real world hometheater applications, comparing the soundtracks of DVDs with both DD to DTS soundtracks yield differences that are slight at best for a majority of people. I find it much easier to spot digital artifacts in the...
