    New 32" TV

    I will definitely try to knock down the price a bit more. It does come down to their wholesale costs and supply and demand though. Ernest: Video Noise? Could you explain that a bit more? Thanks for all your help!

    New 32" TV

    I am looking to purchase a new 32" TV. I am a brand loyal RCA follower and I was set on buying the RCA 32V530T Flat Screen. The store I went to pick it up in was sold out, but I got a caveat from the salesperson about quality issues with RCA which I have heard before, but I have had almost no...

    What other movies like "Memento" would you recommend.

    I would also agree with Donnie Darko and 13 Monkeys. Both are mind-benders without being too weird or boring.

    Was "The Shining" a made for TV movie?

    I heard that even with the success of Kubrick's version, Stephen King was not satisfied with that representation. This was especially the case with Nicholson's over the top portrayal hence the made for TV miniseries. I haven't seen the TV version in its entirety yet, but what I did see of it, it...

    Isn't still to early to do Superman

    I think it is too early to remake Superman, but I have little doubt that one will be done in the next 5 years or so. The reinvention of tried and true comic book heroes on the big screen will continue. I loved the original Superman and do not care for a new one, but it is the younger generation...

    The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)

    Carlo: to answer your point 3, it was Sir Percival in Excalibur and even that was not true to Arthurian legend, as only Sir Galahad (son of Lancelot) was pure enough to find the Holy Grail. Dave F: At least someone has mentioned that the Gimli character has been exploited (yes that word) in...

    Beastmaster, Directors' Cut, Region 2 DVD

    Already got the special edition. I was just hoping beyond hope there would actually be true 'directors cut' of what Coscarelli had really intended, or as close to that would have been as he was removed from the final editing process. I did not know about the Tanya Robert's scenes until your...

    Beastmaster, Directors' Cut, Region 2 DVD

    The is a 'Director's Cut' region 2 DVD from Five Star Productions being marketed in the UK. I've inquired to one of the sellers on ebay what the differences are, but he could not really say what scenes were added. I am bit skeptical about any kind of 'director's cut' version of this movie, even...
