I was on the phone with Dish yesterday, both sales and technical, and they couldn't answer a simple question regarding aspect ratios. I currently have Time Warner in NYC, and I have some HD channels that play things in OAR (Showtime, HDNET, Universal HD) and some that don't (HBO, INHD, TNT), and...

A sample of the aforementioned and wholly appropo song. Best album of 2004 by far.

And yet, it is dubbed. Anyone curious can turn on TCM right now. At least it's letterboxed.

We did an extensive analysis of that version here. However, my local video store carries the 6 hour cut on VHS, which apparently ran on Italian TV. They note on the front that it's in Italian and includes English subs, but not how many times removed the dubbing would be. Is De Niro dubbed...

For those interested in Au Hasard Balthazar, here is an extensive analysis. We used the gorgeous looking R0 PAL disc as the source.

The best one I ever saw was something we used to rent frequently when I worked at Tower Records, many years ago. Honey, I blew everybody.

Travis, check your PMs. You might have to go back a bit (it's not from the last day, rather from November) to read it.

Thanks. I won an ebay auction for it after trying to find it for a few months. By the time the tape arrived, and it was pretty poor quality, Starz aired it the next week and I recorded that onto DVD-r instead. I felt since I had put in so much effort, I ought to write a review, no matter how I...

Some movies get worse over time. Some only get better.

The 2 disc of Monty Python and the Holy Grail also retained the Criterion LD commentary (though not the Japanese track).

Note that Small Wonders (1995-96 nominee) is available on DVD, via the 2 disc version of Music of the Heart, on disc 2. The Streep/Craven film was loosely based on the documentary and so it was included as an extra. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...v=glance&s=dvd

I just tried my old version of The Thing and it won't read in either of my DVD burners, nor 2 of the 3 set top DVD players I have. My Philips 642 will play back the movie, and the movie with the commentary (but I have to fast forward through blank chapters to get them to play at all, no FBI...

Such as?

There is very little gore in Seven. It is almost entirely implied. Even the scenes which might have benefitted from gruesomeness, such as when they discover the prostitute, we only see the image of the tool that was used. As for Saw, it is abysmal and gets worse the more you think...

Elizabeth, responded to your email.

Few movies make me actually angry for people falling for the condescending crap being thrown at them, but Napoleon Dynamite manages it. It's not just that there's no point to the film, it's just so self conscious and so deliberate in its attempts to be "weird" and retro. Traits are established...

Son of Hitler. Anyone who gets a chance to see it, it's hilariously misguided. Nothing Lasts Forever recently had 2 screenings at the Bill Murray festival in Brooklyn. Crying Freeman doesn't hold up well. I recently watched the R2 2 disc, and it was kind of silly and cliched. I...

His first film was actually Student Body, also known as Getting In. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109893/ Sometimes you see it show up on Comedy Central, at least that's where I saw it. It's the very epitome of forgettable. I agree that May is an extraordinary debut. Soderbergh- Sex...

I believe the aspect ratio is actually 2.35 as detailed on IMDB (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0338466/technical), here, http://www.atnzone.com/cgi-bin/Event...ame=stuckonyou, but also your screen caps.

How did you unread a book that you had read 8 months ago?

Actually the cropping off of the sides of some of the newspaper headlines is the way the film was shot. It's apparent even in the widescreen version that Morris did this by design. Matt, trying to figure out what it's worth.

The movie is on IFC right now, and they are showing it letterboxed. Some other opinions in how well balanced it looks would be welcome. Matt, I would be interested.

I was watching this fantastic documentary on IFC a few days ago, something I have had on LD for many years. I'm aware that IFC shows it a lot, but this is the first time I'd seen them show it letterboxed. My LD is 1.33, and IMDB lists the OAR at 1.37. From watching the widescreen version, it...
