    Press Release Warner Archive Announcement: Looney Tunes Collectors Choice Volume 1 (Blu-ray)

    The early Daffy cartoons are pure gold! Back then he was psychotic in a fun way, before they ruined his character by making him just neurotic.

    UHD Review Shazam! Fury of the Gods UHD Review

    I loved this film and to me the sequel was as good as the first film, however, if the first film wasn't to your tastes this is unlikely to change your mind.

    How's the PQ on Young and Innocent (1937) Blu-ray?

    I just looked it up at that site named after a large South American river and it's very affordable here in the states, though it *is* region locked so you would need a multi-region player. From the discussion it appears somewhat rough, but I'm also getting the impression this is the best edition...

    Sony to stop distributing discs in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland

    In the short-term, it appears that Sony is just using smaller labels to license and distribute their work. In the medium to long term it is bad news as the disc market continues to shrink leaving eventually a lot of titles without disc representation. I think "important" and "artistic" films...

    Blu-ray Review Looney Tunes Collector’s Choice Vol. 1 Blu-ray Review

    I've bought the Platinum Collection Blurays and also several sets of the Golden collection DVDs. Are all these releases that aren't repeated on what I've already got? (BTW, put me down as someone who would love to buy a chronological full set of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies!)

    *** Official CASINO ROYALE Review Thread

    I think Casino Royale ranks up there with the best Bonds as far as relative believability, time spent on character development, and showing possibly for the first time since OHMSS, that the kind of violence that Bond is involved in has consequences. The scene in the shower with Vesper says a lot...

    *** Official CASINO ROYALE Discussion Thread

    I just got in from seeing it and I loved it! I wasn't sure after the leaks about a PC Bond if it was going to be good, but I thought they hit the overall tone quite right. I was glad to see the film have a certain amount of quirk, without going over the top. I think it's doing strong box office...

    Paradigm Cinema 70 v. Klipsch Quintet Which is better?

    I'm searching for a small sat/sub setup for my new home. I want small speakers that don't sound like crap. I've read a fair bit about the Paradigm Cinema 70's and the Klipsch Quintet. I know much of enjoyment of speakers is subjective, but I was wondering which one was considered better? I'm...

    I saw a DVD being played at the local multiplex

    Jamie Was that Willie Wonka presentation at the Alabama Theatre? They have a pretty decent Digital Projection system that I have seen used from time to time. A couple of times a year the Alabama will book a silent film to live organ accompaniment and they use digital projection for these...

    Pierce Brosnan out as Bond? (UPDATE: Daniel Craig confirmed)

    If Quentin Tarantino can't get the nod to direct Casino Royale and if Brosnan is really done as Bond, I think the two should team up for a big screen remake of The Prisoner! Bill S.

    *** Official DODGEBALL Discussion Thread

    I thought the film was funny with a few flashes of brilliance. Ben Stiller had a lot of fun with his role. Did anybody else see lots of parallels to Mystery Men? I LOVED that movie and I thought this film had a lot of the same vibe... Bill S.

    The Eternal Angelriffic Thread (Merged)

    All this second guessing the WB on Angel's cancellation misses an important point. For the first time in a long time, a show I loved went out on top of it's game. What kind of assurance do we have that the quality of writing that Angel maintained would have been continued in subsequent...

    Why is IFC Showing an Edited Version of "A Nightmare on Elm Street"

    I'm afraid it might be the curse of AMC... AMC and IFC are owned by the same company... they started out small ruining AMC little by little, maybe this is the start of ruining IFC... God, I hope I'm wrong... Bill S.

    Tarantino wants to do Casino Royale with Brosnan

    Unfortunately, what is satisfying and different isn't synonymous with success for Eon. Like all producers, they view success by revenue, and their "back to reality" phase, most recently the Dalton Bond films, were punished badly at the box office. With Brosnan they turned back to fantasy and...

    Great episode from Ben Edlund! Goes a long way redeeming himself from that "wish-it-was-forgotten" Lorne Party ep. He proved he could move dramatic action along with the humor that he's always been great at dishing out! Speaking of dish's...Wolf Girl!!! Still I think Gwen is hotter by a...

    No More Academy Screeners... (BREAKING NEWS)

    I'm guessing this is PR to counter the Exhibitor's claims that studios do nothing to stem the tide of piracy by insiders. Of course, tracing the screeners still doesn't take care of pirates working inside the DVD authoring studio or film developing plant, i.e. innerworkings of studios...

    I'm also curious about how much they edit out of Angel and Buffy ep's on cable and syndication. I mean the ep's are only 44 minutes to begin with aren't they? I noticed holes in Buffy ep's aired in local market syndication, but I thought especially F/X would take better care of the ep's...

    Color me one of the amazed! I was completely bowled over by this movie and left choking back tears and awed by the experience. I did not know what to think going into Big Fish. Most of my friends were going to see ROTK again, and this was a compromise movie with my fiance. I was afraid the...

    I think the point that you can't really quantify why some people love a film and some hate it is a valid one. Personally, I loved the film. Which is odd because in my mind it is pretty similar to Forrest Gump, which I hated. Both movies are tear-jerkers, but for some reason I did not mind the...

    Curious about this whole Universal "Fake Fan/Message Board" controversy?

    It's particularly pathetic, when, if I'm not mistaken, it was about the time this occurred that the studios (with the exception of 20th Century Fox) told the HTF that they didn't need Internet fan sites, and cut off advertising on them. The cost to advertise on sites like this one are SO...

    Ruining sound in the theater on purpose, like the dots?

    It sounds like what you were hearing were digital dropouts in the sound. The major digital sound systems (DTS, Dolby Digital, and SDDS)all use an analog backup (the soundtrack physically printed on the film) in case of errors that cause temporary loss of the digital sound. The change in...

    I thought last night's ep hit on all cylinders... it wasn't all explained, but that helps create an air of expectation while we wait for new episodes... Does anyone know how long we have for more? Will there be one or two in December? I like how the WB is scheduling Angel with a long run...
