    *** Official WALL-E Discussion Thread

    I saw WALL-E over the weekend, and I loved it. It's the best picture of 08 so far. I do have one problem with it: If Earth is uninhabitable, why not settle on another planet? Since humans in the film are capable of traveling through hyperspace and seemingly beyond the galaxy, they should also...

    *** Official STAR WARS Saga (episodes I to VI) Discussion Thread: Part 4

    Well, I finally got a chance to watch a DVD 9 of ANH Revisited, and I must say I'm very impressed. Adywan's definitely got some talent. The little things like adding R2 and Vader's blinking lights to replacing the crapping looking Death Star plans to the one seen on AOTC is impressive. As for...

    Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)

    What was more distracting to me was that the title in Temple of Doom was partially blocked out by Willie Scott.

    Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)

    Regarding the ending: The Aliens, through Oxley tells the group that they are greatful for restoring the skull to its rightful place and that they will grant any wish that they want (remember Indy saying that "whoever returns the skull to the city temple will be given control over its power"...

    Can w please lose the jittery camerawork...?

    Batman Begins was another good film that was ruined by handheld camerawork. The fight scenes were impossible to follow due to the shaky cam. I hope they don't repeat this in The Dark Knight.

    *** Official NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN Discussion Thread

    I also noticed that there no musical score for pretty much the entire film. Which is strange considering that Carter Burwell (who has scored all the Coens' films) was given a credit in No Country. This is definitely a film that requires repeat viewings to fully comprehend. I'm definitely...

    Sony CEO sees ‘stalemate’ in disc fight

    This is true. However, from what I've heard, the Cell Processor is not really optimized for video game performance, and thus is harder to program for.

    Super Mario Galaxy RULEZ!

    A second player can help out the first player using the Wii Remote, so that role would be perfect for a first grader.

    Sony CEO sees ‘stalemate’ in disc fight

    Considering that Sony is losing a ton of money due to PS3's production costs, I highly doubt that the PS3 will making a profit anytime soon.

    Sony CEO sees ‘stalemate’ in disc fight

    Things have changed from the previous generation of consoles. The PS2 had a sustantial amount of exclusive third party titles and was a huge part of its success. For the PS3, practically all their exclusives are first party only. As a 360 (and Wii) owner, it's hard to justify forking over...

    *** Official NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN Discussion Thread

    Yeah, the only question will be whether it will be on HD DVD or Blu Ray, since both Paramount and Miramax (Disney) are distributing the film. I can't wait to see the film this weekend. In the meantime, I'm preparing myself by watching a Coen bros. marathon.

    HTF HD-DVD Review: Transformers (Highly Recommended)

    I guess it helps if you grew up playing with the Transformers toys and watching the cartoons as a kid to enjoy the film.

    New Kubrick SE's

    Actually, Fox now has home video rights to the MGM/UA library. So getting three companies to coordinate a box set would be difficult. Though I must admit it would be nice to see The Killing and Paths of Glory receive anamorphic widescreen transfers like the WB Kubrick titles.

    5 Kubricks coming to Blu-ray/HD-DVD 10/23

    I finally got a chance to watch the deluxe Full Metal Jacket in HD DVD. I've never seen the previous HD version, but I must say that the film has never looked better. And it looks alot better than A Clockwork Orange.

    5 Kubricks coming to Blu-ray/HD-DVD 10/23

    I was able to pick up most of the Kubricks on HD DVD, except for EWS. Only one Best Buy in NYC has it in stock. I'm going after work to pick it up. According to DVD Beaver, the transfer of the HD/Blu Ray version of A Clockwork Orange is a dissapointment...

    Transformers - Imax

    From what I can recall, the IMAX cut featured the narc showing Sam the Rachael Leigh Cook "egg smashing" anti drug commercial after he's arrested for reporting Bumblebee getting stolen.

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Transformers -- in HD

    I find the Transformers HD DVD audio to be similar to the Revenge of the Sith DVD. The audio is underwhelming if you set the volume at the normal setting, but turn it up 3-4 dBs and it sounds awesome.

    New Kubrick SE's

    Hey, if it helps... I can admit that I was wrong. :D If you look at the thread for the anamorphic Dr. Strangelove DVD, you can see that I was in support for the original theatrical ARs for the Kubrick films. I can't wait to get the Kubrick titles in HD DVD. If the SD DVD of Barry Lyndon is...

    Sucks if it's true. I was hoping it would continue into next week so I could take advantage with the Kubrick films in HD.

    HTF HD-DVD Review: Transformers (Highly Recommended)

    All the reviews I've read give the HD DVD audio 5/5 scores and label it as reference material. So I don't see the lack of a lossless track as a problem.

    The official BLADE RUNNER SE thread. (Check out page 8 and #790.)

    I also saw the Final Cut at the Ziegfeld. A rather large crowd for a matinee. Seeing it on the big screen was impressive, especially the audio, which had a lot more punch than the current DVD. After the show, they were handing out surveys asking how the Final Cut was and if we would consider...

    HTF HD-DVD Review: Knocked Up

    Hmm. Even though I have an HD DVD player, it looks like I'll just pick up the 2 disc SD DVD. It doesn't seem worth the extra $10.
