I was looking through some old HBO programming guides from the early '80s, and they advertise some HBO specials called "The Unexpurgated Benny Hill." Are these available on DVD? Or VHS even? I don't see much about them online, though I did find a New York Times review: UNEXPURGATED BENNY HILL...
When I looked at the Raiders comparison shots, I didn't see any difference at all. After reading Paul's comment, I took a closer look. If I paste one screencap on top of the other in Photoshop, and then toggle between the two, there is indeed a little sharpness and detail gained with the new...
We can, but ONLY IF Mr. Harris is saying that based on his own observations, and not just on reassuring words from those involved with the production of this disc.
For me, the question is: Do we really know that the BD looks like the answer print? Or do we just know that some Sony or Zoetrope employees say that the BD looks like the answer print? If Mr. Harris or anyone else here can tell me that they have confirmed with their own eyes that the BD matches...
The key word here is "reportedly." I don't question that this is what an insider said. However, without visual evidence (which I'm sure we'll never see), or at least confirmation that someone trustworthy has personally compared the original answer print to the disc sold in stores, this excuse is...
Season 8 is my favorite. It includes what I think are the two best episodes: "Homer's Phobia," where Homer thinks Bart might be gay, and "Homer's Enemy," which features the life and death of Frank Grimes (or Grimey, as he liked to be called).
I rented both discs from Netflix. In the sleeve that was supposed to be disc 1, it had disc 2. I played it, and it was in fact disc 2. The two discs I received looked exactly the same. I watched the first one, and mailed them both back this morning. It didn't occur to me that maybe the other...
I doubt if you're talking about Wild at Heart, but there are some similarities to what you are describing: It's from 1990. The main plot is about a woman trying to keep her daughter away from a guy who she thinks is no good, although he's not a pimp. The mother is overweight, but she's not...
I placed an order on September 5th, which included the (standard) DVD of Everybody Loves Raymond Season 9. That was a preorder at the time, released on September 18th. I received it yesterday. I have not yet received any of the HD/BD movies I preordered.
I'm in Blockbuster every week exchanging movies I rented online. My Blockbuster does not have any Blu-ray movies. The employees don't expect that to change soon. So I called the next closest BB. They don't have them. So then I called the next closest BB. They don't have them. And then I...
Thanks for the helpful suggestions. She has played some web-based games before -- Sesame Street, Dora the Explorer, etc. Those are great, but now she wants to play on the big screen TV in the family room.
Thanks for your reply, Aaron. I'll check out the Cars game.
Jeez, I don't know. I'm not a gamer at all, and I didn't even know there was such a thing as "practice mode." Singing and dancing games sound like a great idea! Would I have to buy accessories, like a microphone or a pad to dance...
I got myself a PS3 for Blu-ray, and now my 9-year-old boy is contantly playing video games on the big TV. His 4-year-old sister would like to try it, but his games (sports and action games) are too complicated. I was going to get a couple of Spongebob games for her, but then I saw the reviews...
The pitch issue would be a deal breaker for me. If there is a pitch problem, would it be caused by speedup, and therefore make the running time shorter? Could we compare the running times of the HD import and the R1 DVD? Or is it more complicated than that?
After you hit the subtitle button, you'll get that message about the directional arrows. While the message is still on your screen, hit the right arrow button on your remote. This will turn the subs on. The left arrow will turn them off. Note that this is just how I've done it. I don't know...
Note that Target has more TV titles on sale than were listed in the ad. Yesterday I picked up Firefly: The Complete Series and Bones: Season 1 for $16.99 each. There were lots more at great prices, including some very cheap Simpsons sets.
With a movie like this, I wish they would replace the dirtier unrated version with a cleaner PG version. I understand why they don't, but I think the jokes are more appropriate to the 4 to 10-year-old sense of humor: familiar characters acting silly and plenty of toilet jokes. I know my kids...
Am I the only one who expects to see Amazon's price go up when the rebate appears, making the deal effectively the same as what we see now? I hope I'm wrong, because I'd love to have a player in the bedroom. I'm just trying not to get too excited.
