Went to my local Best Buy this morning - they didn't order any The Day The Earth Stood Still. Went 1/4 mile away to Circuit City - they didn't order any copies either. I found 5 copies at Media Play for $15.99. I bought one. I must be getting old and out of the mainstream. I've been waiting...
North American DVD has it for $62.99. I purchased this set in May of 2002 and it took me until December to finally view the whole thing. It was long and some parts were more interesting than others. The video is the real thing, a historical marvel. The sound is spiced up with sound effects...
Merry Christmas, Dave, to you and your family. I look forward to your roundup every Sunday. It's a great deal of work and I DO appreciate it. You also add a lot to other forums here at HTF and on DVDTalk. I'm not a big TV on DVD fan but all of your contributions to the DVD community are...

I haven't seen much buzz on this film. Are most people unexcited about this classic?
Your EE samples and explanation are always so enlightening, Bjoern.
Even for someone like me who has seen only a few large, front projection images - I am learning what to expect when I can purchase my own larger system some day.
I like that you still encourage people to buy this DVD even...
