My family and I are heading to Disneyland for the first time this summer--right around the 50th anniversary--and we are desperate for some first-hand accurate information about the hotels outside the park. Can anyone help? Some of the user reviews on Tripadvisor.com have us worried--roaches...
You're welcome, Mike. And thank you for all the work you do on the Weekly Roundup. It's required reading for me each weekend. You and Dave Lambert have saved me hundreds of dollars.
From the Borders web site: 25% off Books and Music 15% off DVDs 50% off Food or Beverage items This deal is apparently good for current or retired teachers. I'm not sure how you prove you're a teacher. Fine Print:
I haven't seen it, but I remember hearing about a movie that was supposed to be about a "virtual" actor. The movie's creators even tried to be mysterious to the public about whether the part in the movie was played by a real woman or was CGI. Is that the movie?
I didn't have a problem with Olivier in the movie. It was a bit part that looked like a tribute to me--a tribute that fit in very well with the overall feel that the movie was attempting to create. It didn't feel any different than seeing a clip of a movie in another movie, It's a lot...
Couldn't agree more. Most of my enjoyment of the film was the "Gee, that's a cool idea" variety, rather than getting absorbed in the film. The movie kept drawing attention to itself as a movie (or at least I couldn't get that out of my head as I watched.) I admire the attempt at...
I'm still waiting for the spin-off, Mike and Nancy. They were always my reason for watching the show. Now that I think of it, I would even like Warren, or Phil (well, maybe Phil would be too much--but Shirley, now...). The point is, I actually enjoyed the brilliant supporting cast much more than...
This letter is incredibly tough for me because I have several titles that get a lot of repeat play in my house. I am going to go with Eagles: Hell Freezes Over, which edges the others out only because I use it so much as a demo disk when friends come over. Runners-up: ELO: Zoom Tour Live...
Just to be clear, then: if I am only interested in Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein and want the best video and audio quality, should I buy the stand-alone over the new Best of Vol. 3?
Moving on to our next letter: For me it's got to be Dr. Strangelove, followed by Damn the Defiant! and The Day the Earth Stood Still. Most wanted "D" title: Duck Soup
1. Field of Dreams
2. The Natural
3. The Sandlot
4. Bull Durham
5. Eight Men Out
6. Bang the Drum Slowly
7. Major League
8. The Rookie
9. Alibi Ike - great 1935 comedy starring Joe E. Brown
10. Pride of the Yankees
OK, now that we've covered letters "A" and "B" let's move on to "C." This one's a little tougher for me, having to decide between Casablanca, Citizen Kane, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and A Christmas Story, but I am going to have to go with: Casablanca Most wanted "C" dvd...
I got this idea from listening to a sports talk show--they started by asking who was the best athlete to wear the number "1" then went on to number "2" etc. I thought it would be fun to change it slightly for dvds. If it catches on, we'll go on to do the rest of the alphabet, maybe on a weekly...
This title was mentioned in the March 8, 2004 HTF chat with Warner Bros, and was in the category of "No Plans at This Time." Too bad...I would buy this in a second.

For what it's worth, I just received an e-mail from Barnes and Noble promoting a buy 2 get 1 free dvd sale. This is an in-store only event, and lasts from June 1 to June 30. I'm not sure if there are any limitations on the sale prices. Though Barnes and Noble has some of the highest prices...
David Prior, I hereby nominate you for the (so far non-existent) DVD producer hall of fame! The quality of the extras on this set is amazing--two touches I especially love are the titles of the different features and the animated menus. Other high points for me: watching Peter Weir explain...
You got ripped off, Jeff. The cashier at my Fred Meyer tried that too, but I showed her the ad, where M&C was right next to all the other box sets and she honored it. They also gave me the free give-away--a ship in a bottle labeled Master and Commander (tiny, but still cool).
Does anyone know anything about the bonus disc that Best Buy is offering with purchase of Master and Commander? Their ad says it has a 20 minute behind-the-scenes documentary, but I don't want to drive all the way out there and pay a higher price just for a piece of studio fluff, or for...
Anybody have any information on the Best Buy bonus disk for Master and Commander? The ad says it contains a 20 minute behind the scenes featurette. Are these bonus disks from Best Buy usually worth it, or would you classify them as studio promotional fluff? Thanks in advance.
