    Wyatt Earp DVD....where is it? (MERGED THREAD)

    I loved the attention to detail on all of the sets. And one of the greatest soundtracks I can remember. With a fairly accurate account of Wyatt's life. I thought this was a great western. This needs to be brought to DVD.

    Msnbc.com does article on SACD and DVD-Audio!

    I had read this article as well and was disappointed at the treatment of DVD Audio. He also quickly wrote off 5.1 audio because he could not get used to it. I wonder if people said the same thing when stereo became available decades ago. Just because the writer does not like the format is no...

    DVD scratch repair kits: Do they work?

    Bruce, Your post is a bit confusing. Are you coming from the point of view of a rental store owner? I have been buying these DVDs for 5 years now and I am "WOWed." No problems for me. As far as longevity goes, a tape will degrade just sitting there with no use. I believe a DVD will look...

    Best place to buy Panasonic RP-82?

    I ordered mine from J and R, got to jandr.com for the 800 number. I told them about a friend buying it for $210 and got that price. Been about a week and a half, have not gotten it yet.

    Oh where oh where can the RP82 be?

    Thanks for the great tip Bill!! I called J&R and did the same.(1-800-806-1115) They met the same price. The guy I talked to felt it might be shipped in about a week. But that was just a guess. He had some indication it would be soon. I was the 4th on that order so there is alot of room for...

    What's the best component cables to buy?

    I am on a budget so I have had good luck at Radio Shack. If appearances mean anything I think they look as good if not better than the Monsters and such at most of the A/V stores.

    New Hypersonic speaker - virtual 5.1?

    I heard the same show. Just to add further understanding, the company CEO drew a comparison to a spot light. With a spot light you can beam the light to any place in the room. Thus if the sound is directed behind you, you hear the sound behind you. My question is what happens if you or an...

    GGW worth it?

    I have seen some of these, I liked the GGW uncensored and exposed, I believe it is number 3, not sure. That was the best. Filmed out by the Colorado River I believe. Good stuff. Did not seem "forced" to me. It is in a very public place, I saw no weapons, just what many guys would do, begging for...

    How Netflix saved me tons of $$$

    I think Netflix is one of the greatest things about the internet. It has not been all roses but I am willing to fund this business when Blockbuster is the alternative. The ability to get the older titles is what I like, most you will never see at a rental store. I also agree it allows me to...

    Blazing Saddles DVD. Any info on quality of release?

    When I picked this up I was not expecting much for a 30 year old comedy. I was surprised to find the picture very pleasing. This is the greatest comedy of all time, I would find it hard to wait for an SE.

    Howard Stern Show DVD's??

    I saw an interview with the director of the movie, Betty Thomas, she said she was opposed to any extras or commentaries on DVD. She is a big critic of this. She feels it takes away from the movie.:thumbsdown: David, thanks for letting us know where we should find Howard dvds if they become...

    '9/11' special NEEDS to be preserved on dvd!

    On the E! web site, they stated that CBS only had broadcast rights, the French men retained DVD rights in which they plan to release several diffent videos. Similar to info Mark had above. I would like to see a sale for charity for the DVD. It is an important historical record which I would...

    Can anyone recommend a good DOCUMENTARY DVD?

    I have to put in another vote for One Day in September, the documentary about the 1972 Olympics in which the hostages were taken, it is narrated by Micheal Douglas. I believe it won an Oscar as well, it was released in 1999.

    DVD profiler alternates

    I use profiler as well. When downloading new information, if I hit cancel, it will freeze up and then I have to run the repair. Similar reponse with friends. Also find downloads to be very slow. Otherwise I like it and it is free.

    Have you ever asked a theater manager to turn the volume down?

    I have never requested an adjustment for the simple reason that I do not want to miss any of the movie. Once I realize there is a problem it is too late. Usually the need is to turn up the volume. I had heard that many had requested to turn the volume down at one of my favorite theaters at...

    What is better-buying from stores or from online stores?

    I agree with the new release vs. old release scheme. New releases can be had for great prices at Costco, Sam's, Best Buy, and do not forget Target(lately they have underpriced the rest by a dollar or more). My biggest complaint with online is the return. More than once I have received a disc...

    What do you guys think of Netflix?

    I have been a member for over a year. I like it alot. Depending on my schedule I either go with 2 out or 4 out at a time. Although they are not perfect, they are 10 times better than Blockbuster or any other chain. Greater selection, even if not always available, I have seen every movie on...

    Pitch Black: wow and again, wow, wow wow!

    I am another big fan. I love the look of the film. I also like the play between the two leads, just not sure who will save their own ass and who is a hero. Favorite seen is when they know they are pressed for time and that fabulous shot of the ringed planet comes over the horizon.

    Warner Bros. – We Want A Richard Donner Re-Cut of Superman II

    The current version leaves me wanting something more, I have trouble watching it due to lack of a good soundtrack. I give Warner permission to charge me double if they put Brando back in. Maybe a Brando fee. This one deserves more attention.

    **** Official review thread: HTF REVIEW: The Godfather (part of The Godfather Collection)

    I am so happy just to be able to throw out my old video tapes, (sold laser disc player 3 years ago) the bonus is it looks great in relative terms. As stated above I believe the look of the film is intentional and I like it, this movie is about family, and it plays like an old family film, it...
