    Win an Onkyo TX-NR1030 9.2 channel Dolby Atmos AV Receiver

    This would be a great upgrade for me, as I'm still working with STEREO! Something like this would really allow me to hear all of the nuances in Blu-rays that I currently can't with my stereo setup. Thanks for listening.

    Blu-ray Review HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: Back to the Future 25th Anniversary Trilogy Blu-ray - Recommended

    LOL. I was a 'victim' of that framing fiasco back then. I guess those 2 reviews gave me flashbacks [/url] Robert, the first quote sounds like an internet troll post and the second sounds like someone who read a review of the DVD from 2002 and doesn't realize that it's referring to an old...

    Blu-ray Review HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: Back to the Future 25th Anniversary Trilogy Blu-ray - Recommended

    Thanks for putting my mind at ease. I didn't think what was mentioned by those people was correct, but I wanted to be double-dog sure. I agree that Amazon's pooling of reviews makes them virtually useless, misleading, etc. No idea why they can't apply the proper reviews to EACH product...

    Blu-ray Review HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: Back to the Future 25th Anniversary Trilogy Blu-ray - Recommended

    There are a couple reviews on Amazon about the new set that I'd like to question here. One said: "If you don't already know they messed up the matte cut on 2 and 3. They are not the full theatrical version of the movie. They are a cheap fast cut of these movies so that they could push these...

    I'm 43, too, Steve! For what it's worth, I'm buying this release because: I sold my '04 boxset on Ebay, and made (surprisingly) enough off that sale so that I could order the 3 SW movies from FYE.com for $12.99 each (after rebate) and still have a few dollars in my pocket! As far as I'm...

    It's on the DigitalBits site as well, so it's probably safe to say that there is nothing wrong with the translation. robert w

    Here's a little gasoline for the fire. 'Vigo' on the originaltrilogy website posted this article from Fox France: http://www.excessif.com/news.php?15971 For those that can't read French, someone else over there translated it: "To comfort you defeat of the team of France yesterday...

    Great vid! Ford was probably hammered. I'm afraid of what GL was thinking, though. For example: "Hmmmm...Stormtroopers...dancing...dancing Stormtroopers...WAIT A MOMENT....STAR WARS THE MUSICAL!!! What a concept! What a novelty! We could use CGI! All I have to do is change some scenes, delete...

    I actually heard that, on the 'bonus discs', there is a short interview with GL before each movie where he disavows all knowledge of their creation and/or existence... :p robert w

    Just wanted to reiterate...again...that these will NOT be selling for $90 for the set (or $30 a piece). You can get it for around $36 TOTAL using the FYE deal I posted earlier for all three ($12 a piece for the mathematically challenged). No, I don't work for FYE nor do I get paid for referring...

    Much better than $90 and good if you absolutely hate rebates...otherwise, the FYE deal is way better (around $36 w/free shipping after rebates and promotional code). robert w

    You quoted a piece of one of my posts just before asking this question, so I'll assume you're asking me. The rest of my post said: "I think an earlier post that mentions a full-page ad in some VERY popular magazine or newspaper is the best idea. Something well written by someone who knows...

    My viewpoint from the beginning is to fight-the-good-fight and TRY to get these things released in anamorphic. If people decide to buy them if that doesn't transpire, then it's good to let them know how to spend the LEAST amount of money doing so. Since it's been mentioned a few times here...

    Star Wars discussion from The Bits...

    This is what I've been saying. Most people would've bought 2 versions anyway if it was released in anamorphic on DVD this time because it will eventually show up in an HD release if it sells well. And, like you said, it won't cost $90 for the new release if you take advantage of the FYE...

    What you said is correct, except that if this release is a hit, the only way for him to repeat those types of sales figures in the future will be for him to release the OT again. There's the incentive. robert w

    You'd be surprised. I used to work for WB back-in-the-days (lower-level position), and you'd be surprised at how little you need to know to get to the top... robert w

    The studio isn't saying it...GL is. As far as I know, they're still his movies to do with what he wants (which I see as the biggest problem). If buying this release greatly improves my chances of getting a really good quality OT release on HD media, I'm in. If not buying makes the movies go away...

    I think this is a situation where we need to call GL's bluff. Since he says in the article I posted earlier that he is bating us to see if we REALLY want the original OT, I say we tell him how bad we want it...how much more we'd rather have the original version than his 'tainted' ones. I'm...

    Hi. First time poster here. I must say that this forum (like someone else mentioned earlier) is a breath of fresh air compared to most of the other websites I've been reading that are discussing this situation! Most of those have been reduced to rampant profanity, knives and pitchforks. Keep up...
