    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Forbidden Planet - 50th Anniversary Two-Disc Special Edition. RECOMMENDED

    I went in to my BB yesterday to find it and found nothing on the shelves. After a quick check of the computer, a BB dude ran to the back and rolled out a cart with about 30 copies of the tin collection. It all worked out pretty well, actually. I usually have piss-poor luck on Super Tuesday at BB.

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: The War of the Worlds (1953) - Special Collector's Edition (Recommended)

    The bunnies are hilarious! :emoji_thumbsup: I'm a two-faced wench. I grew up with this film. I can remember seeing it on TV in the early 70's and yes, I saw some wirage. Not as much as now...but I saw them. Did not bother me then....don't bother me now. BUT....if I had a version where the...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: The War of the Worlds (1953) - Special Collector's Edition (Recommended)

    I'm still having a little trouble making that out atop the tree. But yeah...great doc and story. As for the wires....they need to remain for all the reasons stated. Remove those and the next thing people will want is for the fur on Kong's body fixed so you can't tell someone just had fingers...

    Journey live 1981!!!

    I'd love this. I'm a Journey fan since pre-Perry days and saw them with Steve on 3 of their midwestern swing-tours from '79 to '83. Departure was another great tour and they have kicked little ass since then...imho. I'd like to see some Neil Schon/Jan Hammer music video's on dvd. Some of the...

    knowing which films you have when you're in the shop

    I've smoked weed for years and even I can remember what titles I already own in my library of over 2,030 titles.:) And wish-list? Anytime I slide into a retail store to buy dvds/films...it's planned. I have my little black book of my most needed 100 films/concerts. Usually though, I buy...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Team America: World Police (Unrated Version)

    Guilty! Thanks Ron....thats exactly right. The film is not in my top faves...nor do I really care for South Park all that much....but this film is hilarious and was a tough project to pull off. Great job!

    Matt Helm Lounge 4-disc set for December

    My tastes may have expanded...but I've never found a case yet that has me wincing and asking myself WHY I liked it before, but not now. If I was fond of it then....it does not take long for me to find something of value. I'm in the rare group here....but thats how it is. I mean Jesus....I'ts Dino!!

    Nostalgia for the heroic years of DVD

    I'm so happy you don't speak for me! You make it sound so depressing. Then I look at my list of dvds needed....and I already own 2,000 titles...and I still see a few hundred films that I prefer more than Star Wars...that are still below the radar and not yet scheduled for release. The best, for...

    Fantastic news for Steve McQueen fans!

    Out of all the films...it was this that should have recieved a nice, fat 2-discer. A damn shame. I got the box anyway.;)

    Original War of the Worlds DVD - How is video quality?

    One of my all time fave Sci-Fi films..and although I'd love an SE...I like the current edition and also have the stereo import. If I could only have a dvd version of Jeff Wayne's Musical Version. To see Justin Hayward preform "Forever Autumn" would be sweet!

    Anyone else bitten by the 'Eastwood Collection' bug?

    I see one of the bridges just about every day during travel for work. If I could just get my hands around the throat of the idiot arson-freak. You know landmarks from the film were destroyed? How could you burn down a covered bridge?:frowning: Francesca's House was also torched. It was a...

    Frustrated with rim cracks: my discs are dying.

    Over 1,500 dvds and no cracks. I have however opened NEW dvds and before removing the disc...saw hairline cracks around the inner circle. I always look at this part of the disc before removing for the first time. Just like delamination....some cracks are born bad at the plant. We don't look...we...

    TWO Greta Garbo Collections from Warners in September!

    I'm with Crawdaddy on this. I'm getting all collections and everything else that comes. I love Garbo...and need to learn more about Garbo....and buying it all only helps quench the thirst and satisfy my buds.

    Directors What are your favorite live concert DVDs?

    ALL Steve Hackett and King Crimson dvds. Roxy Music-The High Road Jethro Tull-Live At the Isle of Wight 1970(worth the price for "My God" alone). There are also good discs with Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and a personal fave....Steve Lukather. The Steve Morse/Dregs dvd rocks solid as...

    Man I hate those "lock-tabs"

    nooo I just ruined nearly 20 DVDs!!!

    Even though I've been called too anal in building and maintaining my dvd/film library....THIS is why I encase most of my 1,900+ titles in re-sealable sleeves. at 6 cents a pop for standard sleeves....maybe a good investment, ey? Of course no food or drink is allowed in my film vault...

    Anyone else having trouble finding Errol Flynn Collection?

    For the first time in a long time...I actually found something I was looking for at BB....this set! They had about 10 sets. None looked like they had even been touched, let alone sold. I was not surprised. Don't remember the price. I had forgotton to order this on-line...so as long as I could...

    Any area of weakness in your collection/library?

    At 1,920+ titles....I feel my library is both well balanced and well fed.....at least for my personal tastes and passions. I'm still missing around 400 titles, either because they are not yet on dvd or I have neglected to pick up yet. I only spend tips on my library so I can only feed it...

    Does anyone here enjoy the films themselves?

    Same here! Even though I had seen it on TV as a kid 20 times or more and loved it dearly. Just can't buy the current release:frowning:. But I bought Gator and White Lighting. Talk about "go figure". For me...some films can handle the abuse....some can't. Some I can live without and wait...

    Easter Parade DVD packaging question

    All I know is that if he took it out of the box collection...then no slip. I thought most of the titles that were sold individually came with the slipcases.

    Does anyone here enjoy the films themselves?

    This is how it is: I'd buy any fave film I want...even if it came wrapped in a brown paper bag, with NO cover-art at all...and looked and sounded just like it did when I saw it on TV in 1972. It's a huge bonus that we are given...to see it properly, to hear it properly and to enjoy it...

    Keep Commercials off DVD! Sign linked Petition in Post #76

    It's no fun, no. A forced ad like that, one that can't be skipped, is a joke....but I'm not laughing. But forced FBI warnings? So what? A small price to pay for owning a film that can be watched anytime at your home. Look! a few seconds of my time is spent looking at the FBI logo! Big deal...

    Do you opt to recieve an email from Amazon.com once an unreleased DVD is announced?

    No....I don't do it. I work 10-12 hour days and emails like that tend to go un-checked/noticed. I don't need Amazon to "clue me in".....thats usually already taken care of. As for helping the studio know how many are waiting for a title.....I doubt they depend much on this. Maybe a studio...
