A few weeks ago, I was in NY for a business trip that ended on a Friday. I extended my stay over the weekend so that I could spend some time with my daughter, Evie, who is now working and living on Long Island . Evie had to work on Saturday, so her boyfriend Joe (a Mets fan) and I went into the...

Good June 29-July 4 for all customers, even Mike Frezon. http://images.bestbuy.com/BestBuy_US...ly_coupons.pdf These are the same coupons Mike posted last week, but with different dates. Not sure how they are distributed (regionally?), but I used one yesterday without any problems.

There have been rumors of a Peckinpah boxset that could include BALLAD OF CABLE HOGUE and PAT GARRETT AND BILLY THE KID later this year. A good question for the upcoming Warner chat. Anchor Bay has a two-dsic special edition of OSTERMAN WEEKEND (featuring Peckinpah's original cut). MGM will...

Looks like the European and Australian editions of A VERY MERRY MUPPET CHRISTMAS are widescreen enhanced, as opposed to the US Pan and Scan version (it was broadcast in the US in HiDef in a 16x9 configuration, but this is not the version that MGM is releasing). I don't know how the special...

Found this by accident. Robert Aldrich's great political western, ULZANA'S RAID, is coming to Australian DVD on August 8 in an anamorphic transfer. (Apparently it will be released in Europe and Japan, too, bit on different dates and at higher prices). This will be the first time this teriffic...

I want to buy some DVDs produced in Denmark that aren't avaialble in other regions (THE MISSION, PIRATES, THE DRIVER, TESS) but am having trouble finding a supplier that will ship directly to the US. Does anybody know of one?

I have an RCA 16x9 Direct view HDTV. It does a great job on anamorphic encoded discs. When I play a disc that's letterboxed, but not anamorphic I use the zoom mode to eliminate or minimize the letterbox bars at the bottom of the screen (as well as the 4x3 gray area on the side of the screen)...

I have heard that DirecTV is getting ready to announce the availability of more HDTV channels, but can't find any more details. Anybody have any more details?

I currently subscribe to Directv and want to have 2 more rooms wired in my home. There are many deals for free installation and cheap receivers, but they are for the most part limited to new subscribers. I have heard that I could cancel my service and re-up under a different name (I'm thinking...

I've had Direct TV for about 5 years and am thinking about making the switch to the Dish Network. I've been frustrated about recent signal outages and the fact that Direct TV is willing to give away receivers and installation to new customers who are willing to sign up for a year of service...
