    PARAMOUNT: The Double Life of Veronique

    I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants this. So, Paramount, you released a VHS tape last year, but how about a DVD? No extras requested, although something like what Artificial Eye has done for the Three Colours trilogy in R2 would be appreciated, or an Irène Jacob commentary, just this great...

    Heaven ... wow

    Tom Tykwer's adaptation of Krzysztof Kieslowski's posthumous script Link Removed (co-written, as usual, with Krzysztof Pieciewicz) opened today in Sweden and I caught it at the Grand Theatre in Stockholm. Wow. Amazing film. I'd only seen Lola Rennt before, and quite frankly, wasn't that...

    Beatallica: Have you heard this?

    Beatallica: The Beatles, as done by Metallica. Well, no, it's not really Metallica, but a couple of guys (one did all the music, and the other did his best Hetfield impersonation). It's absolutely hysterical and I haven't heard anything as funny since the first time I heard Weird Al, twenty...

    Early layer switches?

    My wife and I watched the rather-excellent Incognito (starring Jason Patric and Irene Jacob) tonight, and I was surprised to see the layer transition occur about 31 minutes into the feature. What gives with that? Usually I notice them about an hour, or 75 minutes in, but this was a half hour...

    Should I buy the NTSC or PAL version?

    My favourite band, Marillion, is having their video compilation released next month in DVD. Originally, it was going to be a R0 release in PAL only. A bunch of American fans complained about that, and now an NTSC release is due to come out as well. I'm wondering which version to buy. Most of...

    Speaker wire: why is it still analogue?

    My puppy chewed through some speaker wire, so I had to replace it, and while doing so, I thought of the above question. My output from the DVD player to the receiver is digital, why haven't speakers gotten digital? My subwoofer connection is RCA/digital, but the other five speakers are the old...
