    How exactly are digital copies of films delivered to theaters? In the old days it was film in cans. How is it done now?

    El Cid and NetFlix.

    I recently received a copy of El Cid from NetFlix. It was a region 2 copy that was awful. From some no name distributor. I called them,and they said they would send me another disc. Well, the same disc came again. Called again,and explained I wanted the Weinstein version that just got released...

    Large DVD Collections. Is it worth it?

    Having collected dvd's for many years now, probably own around 650 plus. I am to the point that I very rarely buy them anymore. I looked at my collection and asked, how many times have I watched these films? In most cases they have been viewed once or twice, except for a select few. Most of my...

    The Tripods

    Does anyone know if this is on DVD here in the states? This was a great show that I watched on PBS years ago. I downloaded a few divx episodes from season 2. Very bad video. Would love to have the whole series on dvd. I'm sure it is available in England

    Bulb Failure

    After reading an article in CR, I am concerned about bulb failure in a DLP or LCD tv. I saw a JVC ILA 56" set that had an outstanding HD picture. It was breath taking, but how long do these bulbs last? Can you do it yourself? What do they cost? The picture on this set, blew away the picture I...

    Is it still worth owning DVD's?

    I have over 700 dvd's . After renting from NetFlix for the last two years,I have wondered why I bought so many DVD's. Most I have never watched more than once or twice. And then the constant special editions and versions. Not to mention the expense after all these years. Now with HD, eventually...

    70mm, what happened?

    It is such a shame that there are no 70mm prints anymore. I guess the cost is alot, and the films are in the theaters such a short time,it's not worth it. It would just be great to see a true 70mm print on the big screen again. Spiderman,Superman, LOTR........etc., would have been spectacular.

    DLP the way to go?

    Is DLP the way to go? I have a Tosh rear projection set{calibrated}. I have yet to find a plasma or LCD that looks better. I am considering up grading to a DLP. It is the same technology used in digital projection in theaters. I know you can't really judge fully in a store, but the DLP's always...

    Star Trek The Undiscovered Country

    Was this film shot at 1:85 or 2:35 ? I Can't remember. The anamorphic collectors edition that was just released is in 1:85. I have an older disc of this film,that is not anamorphic, and it looks like 2:35. I can't remember from when I saw it in the theater.

    I have noticed recently that any new discs rented that are Warner titles have "for rental only " on the disc. Also there are no extras,just the film. Are these made for NetFlix?

    Once Upon A Time in America. Who edited these discs??

    I just watched this movie. Why does it end on disc one before the intermission? Disc one ends at chapter 34 , intermission is chapter 44. A very lousy job. No reason they couldn't have at least went to the intermission on disc one. The Right Stuff was all on one disc and done superb. Warner blew...

    Jackie Brown. What aspect ratio ?

    On the back of the new Jackie Brown collectors edition it states that the movie is widescreen [2.35:1]- Enhanced for 16x9 televisions. I have a 16x9 and the movie is in 1.85:1. Is this a typo? I don't remember what ratio it was in when I saw it in the theater.

    Pearl Harbor, why two discs?

    I can see the extras being on a second disc. Why did they have the movie continue onto the second disc? I see no reason for it. I'm sure the whole thing would fit on one side. There was no intermission when shown in the theaters.

    Pulse or Delicate Sound of Thunder?

    I there yet any word on these concerts coming out on dvd? They would be incredible in DTS or DD. Having them anamorphic would really be the icing on the cake.

    Getting to know my RP91

    Got this player this past tuesday. After fooling with the fantastic menues and options, this has to be the best progressive player on the market right now. The picture that it gives on my 56H80 is so good, it is amazing. Older non anamorphic discs take on a whole new look. It is like watching...

    Certain discs not progressive on RP91

    I just recieved my RP91 today. Have been fooling around with it since it came. It is an outsanding player, and the picture quality is breathtaking. The question I have is, when playing Young Frankenstien, the progressive light goes off. The same thing happened with Universals Classic Monster...
