Am I wrong or does someone need to talk Peter Jackson and Toho into making an old school Godzilla?

My God, is it really true that "The Polar Express" is not being released in 16x9? That can't be right--can it??

Just saw my first real 3d movie--"Magnificent Desolation: Walking on the Moon 3D". WOW! Unfreaking real! Do yourself a favor, if you've never seen an IMAX 3d movie and you have the chance to see one, go and see. It's hard to describe, it's just incredible. While the technology is not...

Just heard on the Tonight Show that Tim Allen has started shooting "Santa Clause" 3. Great news. I hope it lives up to the first two. Apparently it's about Jack Frost taking over Christmas. Does anyone know anymore than that?

Just wanted to give everyone a heads-up about some great wallpapers for your desktop. Some are simply stunning. The photos were taking during Michael Palin's travels by his friend Basil Pao. www.palinstravels.co.uk/index.php

I was just wondering if any of my friends across the pond or here in the states can give me an idea about the quality of the region 2 DVDs of Mr. Palin's adventures? I'm beginning to doubt that region 1 DVDs are coming anytime soon--apart from Himalaya of course. I'll have to put out a...

Did anyone post this news yet? Anyway it's available now. I might check back with a short review if no one else does.

The regular stories about Hi-Def DVD has got me to wondering. Is it possible that the lack of quality product from so many studios has something to do with the imminent release of DVDs in Hi-Def? Are they investing more in the new tech and viewing standard DVD as not worth the investment? Is it...

Do you think we'll ever see the interviews that Robert Osborne and Professor Richard Brown did for TCM and the old AMC, respectively? I know I can't be the only one who would like to see these great interviews released to DVD. At the very least it would be nice to see them released as extras on...

I was thinking of buying the DVD of Twilight Samurai. Would anyone care to comment on the quality of both the DVD and the movie?

On my Sony KP-46WT510 there is a vertical line in the grey bar on the right side when I'm watching 4x3 material and a corresponding line on the left that's in the picture area. It doesn't seem to affect the picture-unless it's the cause of the green flashes on bright images-but the square test...

This occurred to me the other day as I was watching a movie on my 16x9 display. How much of an influence will the eventual replacement of 4x3 displays with 16x9 displays have on the movie industry? None? A great deal? I ask this because it seems to me that within the next few years...

Hey! I finally took the plunge and came into the world of big screen hdtv(pic below). I can't tell you how great it is to finally be able to enjoy a movie on a large screen tv. Not to mention a Sony HDTV. Great picture. Yes, I do see the flashes of green from time to time that some have...

Having a chance to see a movie about someone that I only know as an icon is something that I always relish. In this case it's an icon of American music that is revealed--flaws and all. Everyone that knows about Cole Porter's music, knows that he was a giant in his field. No less than Irving...

Does anyone have an opinion about the quality of the DVD Lost Horizon? I'm thinking of buying it. I believe it was released some years ago. So I'm a little worried about how it looks and sounds. Also, does anyone know of the likelihood of ever seeing A Tale of Two Cities on DVD? Thanks...

So...if I buy a notebook with a 16x10 lcd display, will it take advantage of the anamorphic encoding of a DVD? In other words will it show more of the movie and less of the black area like a 16x9 tv? Anybody know??

Well, I screwed up and forgot to set the Tivo to record Easter Parade on TCM while I was out. Anyway, I'm watching Holiday Inn on TCM right now. I know it's on DVD and I was wondering if someone could give me an idea about the quality of the transfer and whether it's worth the money or not...

I decided to fight back against spam today, so I wanted to use an email address that was created when I first got my internet account a couple of years ago. Well, the spammers got the last laugh on me with that one. 1034 messages and 7 viruses waiting for me. So much for using that address...

I'm sure there's been a thread about this already, but I was just curious about everyone's wishlist. I have two that are foremost in my mind. They are: Land of the Pharaohs Quo Vadis? There are a few others that I'd like to see on DVD. But these two would make me very happy and I could...

According to the Bits, The Tin Star (1957) starring Henry Fonda and Anthony Perkins and Posse (1975) starring Kirk Douglas and Bruce Dern are both coming to DVD from Paramount on 5/11. Excellent news!! I can now mark off two more fav westerns off of my want list. It's a list that has gotten...

What's your best spiel when it comes to converting those that are oblivious to the difference between pan and scan and widescreen? Mine goes like this... Take the painting of Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper of Christ". You wouldn't say it was okay to cut off the ends of that to...

Exactly how much would you spend on a perfect-in-every-way Special Edition DVD? I mean if they went to the trouble of restoring every movie. Including removing every nick and scratch and using the highest bitrate and spreading every movie over two or even three discs with at least a couple of...

Does anyone else have those strange things that keep you from just walking in and grabbing the first DVD on the shelf. Mine are: Making sure the cover is on straight and in flawless condition. Making sure there isn't security tag damage to the cover. Checking and double checking...

Congratulations! You've been given the chance to run the big DVD production for a day without interference from the studio. What's the one thing that you'd change or do that would make that DVD unique or a must have?

I was just wondering if there's anybody else out there as anal as I am about taking apart their snapper cases to remove the security tags from the back of the plastic DVD holder? I hate having those things on my DVD case. Now if I could only figure a way to put the cardboard cover into the...

Does anyone know if the Michael Palin PBS shows Full Circle, Pole to Pole and Around the World in 80 Days are available on DVD? Especially for region 1?

Would someone like to give me an opinion as to whether or not DVD Profiler is worth a premium registration? I would like to support them--but if I'm going to buy something, I want to make sure that I'm buying the best. Any recommendations?

I'm just wondering if anyone has any idea or knowledge of the use of the new widescreen processes that arose in the early 50's. If I'm to believe the info on many DVD's, many movies from that era were still be shot in the 1.33(or 1.37 to be technical) to 1 ratio Academy Standard. Am I the only...

Am I wrong in thinking that this DVD originally came in one of those keep cases that looks like a book? I think it might have been made of cardboard. Am I right or am I just imagining this? The one I just bought is a regular plastic keep case.

I was watching this the other day and noticed something which escaped my notice previously. I froze and then stepped through the final gun battle and noticed that it was Harmonica that drew his pistol first instead of Frank. I was just wondering if anyone knew if this was intentional? And if...
