"It's so hard to get a decent DVD of the bastardized version" You might be interested in reading about the preservation efforts one individual is making for this film. http://www.originaltrilogy.com/forum...&threadid=4256 He just recently finished it.
"I suggest taking a sedative so that you can stay on one emotional level all day long...Now, over 25 years later, people want to complain about it because it breaks their precious "tone". Geez." Yeah, it makes about as much sense as people who overdramatize other people's opinions so that...
I saw "Being There" on TV a few months back, and it had the bloopers in the credits. They are funny, but they *are* a tone breaker as well. Having them as supplements would be fine.
"Their Friday night "death slot" has killed pretty much every show aired there since the X-Files moved to Sundays." :^O My wife and I used to look forward to Friday nights to watch X-Files. Sunday nights kinda took out some of the steam out of the "viewing experience", since we had to work...
No, that was pretty much it. Remember, you should keep two things in mind. 1) This is science fiction. (That being said, it's better than some technical "Star Trek" explanation, and 2) We don't know how long they've been in outer space. These could have been the original abductees, or they...
Well, up until recently, I was proud to say that Hooper was my only P&S DVD. I figured I was lucky to see this film released on DVD at all, so I went ahead and bought it... ...and then Remo Williams came out. I don't know what I was thinking, but I did it anyways. I do watch it, but I find...
Nick, glad you liked it. :D "Many fans of the film prefer to watch it with the sound turned off during the opening narration, until the first appearance of Kiefer Sutherland." Interestingly enough, when I first saw this film, I came in to the part where "John" was trying to get his wallet...
"Geez, I thought I'd advertised these in enough places that everybody would've seen them." Well, as I stated in the first post, I've been away for a long time, and a search brought nothing up. What more did you want? Nonetheless, thanks for the info.
Last time I was on these boards (quite some time ago), I remember hearing that "The Keep" was slated for release. Now, I can't find hide nor hair of it, including searching these forums. Any one know the latest word? BTW, off topic, but it just came to me....what about "To Live and Die in LA"?
The correct answer is.....maybe. First of all, you want to have as few connections between your video source and display device as possible. That being said, if you want to have the ability to switch video sources through your receiver, you have to look at the specs of your receiver. Some...
FWIW, I will buy this version if they replace my favorite line..."as a child, my heart weeps for him. As an adult, I want to blow the sick **** out of his shoes." This is only on my old P&S VHS version, not on the "original theatrical version" DVD :frowning: (BTW, I think this is how it went...
Vincent, since I don't know what your T.V. is, I'll have to make a "guesstimate" on what you could do... 1) Make sure the component cables and "regular video" cables are connected to different inputs (input 1 & 2, for example) Some t.v.s tend to "default" to one or the other if both are...
In the latest Sound & Vision, they have an add for "flat" wire. You can mount it on the wall and paint over it. 1$ - 5$ a foot. Here... www.decorp.com have fun :)
It's superior because it's the highest resolution you can get from Dolby Digital and HD video (even more so than HDTV!) Your concerns cover practicality. Some people want the best picture and sound possible, and this is it. Nothing else even comes close.
Yes, Daniel, that would make sense. Think of how long Mulan, Tarzan, and Snow White were on the shelves after they were "discontinued". Beauty and the Beast is still out, also. Disney isn't going to take back this stock and burn it! The whole point of the "discontinuation" strategy is get...
Charlie, I agree with everything you said. However...
3. NO MENUS
I do like the extras in DVD. What would be nice, however, would be to have DVDs autorun with DD 5.1 automatically selected. We're well past the days where most DVD consumers were watching DVD on stereo or prologic receivers...

The "Audio Out" on your tv is probably line-level, meaning no wattage. Your receiver would do all of the amplification (and better separation between the receiver speakers, as you said.) Some TVs do have a speaker level out, but that usually uses spring-clips, versus RCA plugs. Check to...
