    How the Grinch Stole Xmas: 50th Anniversary - New transfer?

    On the old disc, the Grinch's color looks more like brown mustard than green. The color timing is WAY off. Does anyone know if this is a new transfer or just a repackaging. Thanks.

    Is Babe missing shot of sheep pooping?

    In the VHS tape of Babe, I remember a shot of one of the sheep pooping as Babe is talking to the sheep in the pen at the Sheep Trials for the first time. In the commentary, Producer George Miller talks about the poop was man-made and forced out from an animatronic sheep. On the DVD, though, it...

    If a film is shown on HDNet Movies but is not on DVD ...

    If a film is shown on HDNet Movies but is not on DVD, CAN that mean that a forthcoming DVD is not too far away? For example, I watched The Last Of Sheila on HDNet Movies the other night. Great movie, by the way. A high-def transfer of the film obviously exists now (not a very good one, but it...

    GC, XBox or PS2 - Which is best for kids (age 6)?

    We decided (reluctantly) to get our kids a game console for Xmas this year. They are age 5.5 and 7. Which console would be best to get for that age group? I'm leaning toward the Gamecube because there seems to be more games for kids that age. Any advice/suggestions are appreciated.

    Siskel comment about Jackie Brown edited. Why?

    In Gene Siskel's comments about Jackie Brown, he is just about to refer to the title sequence as an homage to the title sequence of The Graduate, yet his comment is edited and you do not hear him mention The Graduate. Why did they do that? I thought the DVD skipped. But I played it several times...

    Is Chazz Palmenteri ill?

    I was watching The Usual Suspects SE disc the other night. Really nice disc, by the way. In the retrospective documentary, he looks awful. He looks like he lost about 100 pounds and is wearing a stocking cap and looked really pale. During the intro, I didn't even recognize who it was. Anyone...

    Hannibal credits

    In Roger Ebert's review of Hannibal, he mentions that Gary Olman is uncredited. I watched it last night for the first time (loved it right up to the dinner scene and that scene blew the whole movie for me) and Oldman's name and character got third or fourth billing. Does anyone know what is up...

    How real is the P&S threat?

    I would like to know what the studio's stance on this is. Ron said that the studios are receiving pressure from retailers to stick to P&S. Why would the studios do that when there is obviously a large portion of the market that prefers the widescreen product. Look at Amazon's sales figure of...

    With all the scorn being heaped upon Warner these days, I bet the folks at MGM are somewhat relieved that this is taking some of the heat off of them.
