    "The Return of the Living Dead" DVD - August 27th

    I went to 5 different places and finally found this. Two different Best Buy's were sold out or had not received this yet. After i got my copy i saw a couple more guys asking the clerk about this title. I guess MGM or the stores underestimated the demand for this.

    Dragonslayer

    With all due respect, try searching for threads regarding this title before posting one. There have been many inquiries about this title in the past. I for one am greatly anticipating this release, but don't hold your breath.

    LOTR DVD issues (merged thread)

    Went to my local Kia dealership today to drive one of their crappy cars so i could get the free LOTR DVD. I refuse to buy this movie twice. I can't see wanting to own the theatrical version when the director's cut is released. After i took the test drive, the guy gives me a card and says i have...

    Should i keep my old single disc elite version or give it to a relative/friend? Are there any differences in terms of extras that would warrant keeping both versions?

    Yes I have tried 2 different Fry's with no luck and 2 best buys. I bought the Evil Dead book of the dead edition at BB for $29.99. Tower sells it for $49.99. That is robbery.

    Re Animator

    The Best Buy's here in the SF bay area don't have any copies of this and have no idea when they will be getting them. The release date for this was April 30th. Tower Records is the only retail chain that i have found it at, unfortunetely i won't buy from Tower because they insist on charging...

    Indy on AMC in OAR?

    Saw yesterday that Raiders and Temple of Doom are going to be on tonight 03/08 starting at 8PM. Does anyone know if these are going to be in OAR? You would think a channel like "American Movie Classics" would show movies in their original aspect ratio.

    Why buy DVD when HD-DVD isn't that far away?

    With the announcement of D-VHS i am feeling a little concerned about continuing my DVD collection. I currently have aprox. 200 dvd's. That is a considerable monetary investment. I know many of you have collections that seriously dwarf mine. As time goes on more and more of us will be buying...

    Best DVDs for testing DD sound system

    I would agree with all of the above, but no one has mentioned the fifth element. That has a ton of ambient and directional effects.

    Brotherhood of the Wolf

    I didn't really dig on this flick. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't what i was expecting. I am a big horror movie buff, and i like a lot of gore. This Just wasn't much of a horror movie IMO. All the reviews i read said it was a creepy horror/action/kung fu flick. Did native americans have a martial...

    Groundhog Day SE no DTS?

    The Packaging states "Audio English 5.1 (DTS and Dolby Digital)". The audio setup on the disc had dolby surround or dolby digital. Is this a major screw up or is the DTS and easter egg ;)

    No Groundhog SE DVD at Best Buy Today; Did I Miss A Memo?

    I went by BB yesterday and no GHD SE. Drove a couple miles to Fry's Electronics here in the bay area and they had many. Paid $19.99.

    Abyss single disc 03/05?

    Apparently twentieth century fox is releasing movie only single disc versions of some films that have already received the SE treatment. I am curious if the upcoming abyss disc will be anamorphic or the same version that is on the 2 disc SE.

    Long Term Strategies for the Serious Collector and Film Buff...

    My buying has really slowed down in the last year. I have 190 DVD's and have been collecting for 3 years. I buy maybe 2-5 a month. There are so many movies that arent worth purchasing. Who cares if it has the best tranfer ever and the sound will blow you onto your neighbor's couch, if the movie...

    HTF REVIEW: "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai across the Eighth Dimension!

    Count me in. This is defenitely one of my all time fav sci-fi cult films. Consider it purchased on release day. "It flys like a truck" "good, what is a truck?"

    Full Frame Grinch only at costco

    Apparently Costco has taken it upon themselves to make the choice for us as to which version of The Grinch DVD we should purchase. Forget about grabbing some poor employee and trying to point out the fact that there is 2 versions of the film. They just stare blankly at you. They couldn't care...

    Cheech & Chong's next movie?

    Paramount gave us Up in Smoke. Thanks. Much appreciated. Now how about the next movie. This is at least as funny if not more so. Does anyone know if this DVD is in the works?

    'FINAL FANTASY' dvd, absolutely INCREDIBLE!

    I had such high hopes for this flick, but alas I to was somewhat let down. The CGI was outstanding, but the story was somewhat tired and predictable. The facial animation also didn't quite do it for me either. Granted, no one has been able to create a photo realistic CGI human until now, but the...

    Is Ronin anamorphic??

    Perry - I have a wega aswell. You have to tell your DVD player that it is plugged into a widescreen TV and then turn on the anamorhpic squeeze. My TV won't auto-detect either, even thought it is supposed to. Disregard if you are already aware. -MR ------------------ Be as gentle with the...
