    Rental store clerk warnings

    I notice a lot of you are bashing the folks who don't care for subtitles. While I, myself, do not care for a great performance by a non-English speaking actor to be corrupted by the re-interpretation of the role by a voice-over actor, I have to say one thing in defense of the dubbing. My...

    Best Tv-series options

    I notice that there hasn't been much said about Insomniac. Assuming the we are talking about the Comedy Central show, Insomniac with Dave Attel I can give you some feedback. The idea is that a camera crew will follow stand-up comedian Dave Attel on his late-nite adventures after his club...

    Rental store clerk warnings

    I work at a retail chain - Borders - so I have some idea of the issues facing the rental folks. The Harry Potter boxes are very easy to confuse, so thanks to all of the clerks who do mention it to renters. As for the WS vs FF/P&S debate, there are many ways it can be handled. Since I am in...

    I'm looking forward to this! The series as it's been shown on PAX is so faded. Mom and I will enjoy this for years to come! ;)

    Why short run tv shows could be a money maker for studios on dvd....

    Scott- I know I have a listing at work for Saved by the Bell but I can't find my notes. As I recall, it was the Complete First Season. Shane - The Young Ones - Every Stoopid Episode was released in the 4th quarter 2002, so go forth and buy!

    Sybil on dvd?

    It was available on VHS - my Psych teacher owned a copy and showed in his classes. I get at least one inquiry per month on this title, and I personally would love to own it! I've not seen the 4 hour version. I hope it will come that way. If it is the family holding it back, please know how...

    Soderbergh's SOLARIS: On DVD July 29th

    I am ashamed to say that I missed ths in the theater - and it was showing a block from work! But I will be buying the dics. When will I learn to ignore my instincts when it comes to SciFi? The ones I see in the theater are stinkers and the ones I don't are the goods. :b

    TV Mini-series Request Discussion Thread

    I second "The First Olympics". My VHS copy - taped from the TV - is nearly unwatchable! Also add to the list "Middlemarch". I never got to see the last installment. OK, the truth - I can't get enough of Rufus Sewell! :b

    Meet Me In St. Louis / Easter Parade - Judy Garland?

    I work at a video store in St Louis and I can tell you, the people here are MAD! I get more grousing every holiday season about these two titles - especially MMISL - than I get about the long register lines. Do the studios not understand how many seniors and mainstreamers have embraced DVD? If...

    Casablanca remake- you will not BELIEVE who's starring

    Only if the re-write calls for the Nazis killing everyone at the end. I am sooooo tired of those two being jammed down my throat! :angry:

    What is this movie?

    Manchurian Candidate? I belive the character that is the "hitman" does experience short term memory loss becuse of the "conditioning" which has turned him into a killer. It doesn't exactly fit your scenario. but it's in the ballpark. ;)

    Which Italian DVDs should I buy???

    Orchestra Rehearsal I know it's not the most talked about Fellini film, but I love it anyway and I will add it to my collection someday. My favorite of the "cinema of the absurd." and... Medditerraneo I don't think that it's available on DVD right now, but when it is, I...

    Sweet Charity, Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman March 4

    I'm very happy to see all of these titles, but most especially Sweet Charity. My favorite thing about this film is the incomperable choreography. Especially the nightclub scene, when Ricardo M first introduces Shirley M to the world of the hip & famous. I would like to second Flower Drum Song...

    April 1 Truffaut's Fahrenheit 451

    We're all tired of the mug shots. Film posters are art da**it! Go into any book store and check out all of the expensive coffee table variety tomes dedicated to nothing more than the beautiful, meaningful and historical art of movie advertising. Even with recent theatrical releases, such as...

    Judd Apatow mentions "Freaks and Geeks" possibly coming to DVD in 2003

    I have resisted buying any of the high-priced TV shows-by-season DVD sets so far. But if they were to give us Freaks & Geeks, I would fork it over with a big stoopid smile on my face. Incidently, if any of the powers that be are reading, I actually stopped watching all shows on that...

    Help me pick my 100th DVD!

    I notice that you have a lot of Star Trek. Have you heard of a movie called "Free Enterprise?" It is a delight for all Trekkers and people born from 1962-1976. It is full of references to the greatest SciFi series ever, as well as other golden oldies like "Logan's Run," which you also need to...

    Foul Play to DVD?

    I watched this one again last week, as well. I fell asleep before the big race to the opera house. Rats! The last time I caught it was also very late at night, and I fell asleep before they even got to the houseboat - sigh. It is essential that I have this on DVD, since I can't seem to stay up...

    National Lampoons Animal House

    I'm sure the studio is aware of all of the unrest caused by the unavailability of this title, particularly around the DVD "guy" holidays: Father's Day, and Christmas. There is a constant flow of people looking for this title and they are very frustrated when I tell them that it is on...

    harry potter no. 5 at last on the way!

    I work in a book store, and I was there for both the midnight sale and the first day sale of HP and the Goblet of Fire. I can tell you from first hand experience that the lines moved fast, the discount was deep and, all in all, it was a great experience. We had lots of activities - trivia...
