When I click the Continue reading… link in the first post of the Lawrence of Arabia (Columbia Classics Collection) UHD Review thread, I get binary junk instead of rendered HTML. Happens in Chrome, Firefox, and Safari (latest 64-bit versions), in regular and incognito/private modes.

I just got this e-mail from DVD Pacific: I assume this got sent to all their customers, but I thought it was still worth mentioning it here, not least for potential customers considering DVD Pacific.

DVD Empire lists a new Wellspring "Masterworks Edition" release of Bruce Beresford's excellent film 'Breaker' Morant, due for release on 26 October. Has anyone heard any details as to what's going to be included on this set? Wellspring's site doesn't list it, and I've not seen it mentioned on...

(Admins: please feel free to move this thread if it'd be more appropriate in the Polls section.) I've been poking through the fan-club credits at the end of the Extended Edition of The Fellowship of the Ring, just wondering if I'd recognise any familiar names from the HTF. (Well, besides my...

In addition to the all-region disc that's been discussed here before, Amazon is now listing a R1 DVD of the Twin Peaks pilot episode: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000068TQU The disc was released 24 May 2002 by a company called Wave Imports, of whom I've never heard. Amazon's...

(Started as a separate thread to avoid "thread-crapping" on the existing discussions, since I'm expressing a dislike of some of the films.) With all the recent news about the DVD release of Back to the Future, I wonder if perhaps I've missed something. Has Universal announced DVDs of the...

I just got my copy of the Limited Edition release of Memento today, and the menu navigation (especially on Disc 2, where the extras are) is mildly confusing, to say the least. I've made up what I hope is a useful guide to navigating the DVD's menus. (To simplify changes, I've moved the content...

Having just seen the sad news that Dudley Moore has died at 66 (CNN article), I wonder if Twentieth Century Fox will see fit to release the original 1967 version of Bedazzled -- featuring one of Moore's finest and funniest cinematic performances -- to DVD. I hope they will: it'd be a great way...

I'm one of the few suckers charitable souls who actually got the limited-edition not-for-sale-to-the-public DVD of Koyaanisqatsi (which required making a not-inconsiderable donation to the filmmakers' fund trying to straighten out the rights, but I thought it was a good cause). Today I received...

DVD Empire's site now shows Amélie as a 16 July release. I haven't seen an official announcement, but Empire aren't generally prone to putting up "vaporware" titles the way, say, Amazon does. So they probably have some information from Buena Vista. Sadly, there aren't any details on the...

Does anyone know of any plans (even rumoured plans) for a DVD release of Yellowbeard? I haven't seen this film in ages, but it keeps appearing on want lists, mine included. It's currently not even available on VHS, which makes me wonder if the rights have recently changed hands or something...

I couldn't find this mentioned anywhere else: Criterion's "Coming Soon" page now lists not only the much-anticipated Traffic disc, but also Barbet Schroeder's General Idi Amin Dada and Ronald Neame's The Horse's Mouth. I never found the last-mentioned film on laserdisc, so I'm very eager to...

I've recently moved from an apartment to a house and am looking at getting new (bigger, better) speakers to go with my Denon AVR-5700 receiver. Up to now, I've made do with a nice little Cambridge Soundworks set, but my newfound absence of upstairs neighbours is really feeding the upgrading...

Just passing on something pointed out in alt.video.dvd by "Mr. Moody" :

For all those who've been waiting, the widescreen edition of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is now available for pre-order at DVD Empire . I'm sure other retailers have this up, too: Empire just happens to be my vendor of choice. doug ------------------ "How can it be the same movie...

The new Wallace & Gromit disc has a slight change made to The Wrong Trousers: when Gromit opens his birthday card just after the credits, the song that plays isn't "Happy Birthday" any more, but some generic -- and presumably non-copyrighted -- tune. I can only imagine that Aardman somehow lost...

Two things that I feel every Wonka fan should do now that Warner has announced a widescreen release: (1) Pre-order the widescreen disc the moment it appears. We've predicated many of our complaints on the idea that a widescreen edition will be profitable for Warner: let's make certain it is...
