    Dazed And Confused: Criterion?

    Rick also mentioned a 2 hour 40 minute cut as well. I agree- Great Doc. Best High School film ever. Linklater and cast perfectly capture the mood and vibe of just hanging out. It's amazing this is a studio film. The film is already 12 years old. Would be cool if Rick can go back and...

    Broken Flowers

    The resolution is in the film's stated philosophy- no future or past- only the present. The resolution is no resolution. If you've seen the film (and I'm not sure why you would be in this thread if you haven't)- think of the last shot. The idea is to leave you thinking in the moment...

    It's Official: HD DVD and Blu-ray Can Limit High Resolution To HDMI Only

    If the studios can't figure this out- and if they are so worried and concerned about copyright protection and the fear of HD bootlegs- the answer is simple. Don't produce HD content and sell it to the public. You can't sell someone a Ferrari that shuts down if the speedometer goes over...

    Last Action Hero SE?

    I love this movie along with another so-called dud: "Waterworld". They're great fun popcorn movies. I have never seen "Hudson Hawk"- but I assume I'd enjoy that as well. I'm in for the SE!

    John Water's Cry Baby

    Anyone pick up JW's "Cry Baby"? I have been waiting for a special edition since the days of laser. Good fun.

    Most Fully-Loaded Horror DVDs of All-Time?

    I have the Driller Killer disc. It contains some of Ferrara's early films. The real treat here is Ferrara's hilarious commentary. He's a true character.

    Mainstream DVDs you bought mostly for the nudity.

    Has anyone picked up Prozac Nation? And does it have all the uncut scenes?

    Tony Rome

    Anybody get the Sinatra's detective series? "Tony Rome, Lady in Cement, The Detective." Tower had them for $10 each. Worth a blind?

    Twilight Zone Definitive Edition

    What's great about The Monsters on Mable Street and many of the episodes is they are great short films. Which is one of the reasons I admire this show. The quality so far exceeds our conception of television as a medium - it's difficult to refer to the Twilight Zone as simply a TV show. But...

    8-disc John Waters Set: June 14

    "Cry Baby" in June. I sure hope so.

    Jaws 30th Anniversary Edition in June

    My point was not to whine- just comment on a studio trend. I did say- I would buy it. I will and I'm sure I'll love it. It's not even so much spending the extra $. I'm all for upgrades of poorly mastered disc, but the last issue was not bare bones. It was a special edition. I suppose my...

    Jaws 30th Anniversary Edition in June

    I love this film and will buy it again, but how many times must we re-purchase our favorite films? I hear that a new Ghostbuster set is in the works as well. seems a bit suspect that we get these now just before HD-DVD is about to hit. In fact, I'm sure that's why we saw a Star Wars release...

    Anchor Bay to re-release Evil Dead 2

    I have a bootleg of "Within the Woods" and several other Sam and Bruce super 8 films. They are all very, very bad. Just a bunch of kids running around with a camera. It's tough to watch.

    new york new york run time?

    I was wrong. The DVD is listed at 2 hours and 43 min. The Laser is listed at 2 hours and 47 min. Extra 4 minutes of something unless one of them is wrong. Also- What special 2 disc edition? I have not heard of one.

    new york new york run time?

    The new DVD claims a running time of 143 min. My old special edition Laser Disc is 147 min. Times wrong? Or is something missing from the DVD?

    Need help starting a DVD collection for video rental store...

    There is a great little shop in CT that has acquired quite a reputation. They stock just about every weird, strange, rare, foreign, classic, hard to find film that's ever been released on video. The inventory includes cult favorites, drive-in flicks, British and American television, silent...

    How long before studios stop production on current DVDs?

    All this HD DVD talk takes me back to the days of VHS and LD. I was into LD. My dad was a VHS guy who wanted to make the switch. It was right around the time DVD's hit the market. I recall reading on forums such as this that LD ruled and that DVD picture quality is only slightly better. At the...

    HD-DVD Titles Announced for 4th Qtr Release-

    I would assume most of us here have some high end components. I was watching DVD's this holiday break on a HD 50inch Samsung Plasma. I'm using a Denon 3910 with SDI into an Iscan that pushes it out 1280x768. I can't imagine the image getting much better. Will the difference in quality be worth...

    More Criterions confirmed - Kurosawa, Antonioni, Powell and more!

    This past weekend I finally went to upgrade my old criterion "Brazil" Laserdisc with the DVD until I read it was a non anamorphic transfer. I held off. I hope they get around to fixing it this year.

    George Romero's Martin?

    How could Romero and the others all sit in the same room- record a commentary and not mention the botched transfer??

    Donnie Darko Directors Cut DVD?

    I was one of those 15 viewers who caught Darko in NY on its opening weekend. The film hit me the same way "Being John M" and "Lost Highway" did several years ago. Original and creative. I told everyone I met to go see this film. I refuse to see the new cut. The original is a great mind...

    Why don't the "No-name" companies even try?

    Most foreign exploitation films were produced by fly-by-night producers who have no idea their film is being bootlegged and sold. If one did get wind of it- the PD gets a legal warning to stop selling, which would require the producer to hire a lawyer. In most cases the producer is no longer...

    Why don't the "No-name" companies even try?

    I worked for one of these PD distributors a few years back as a dubber. They cut corners any way they can. Cheap equipment, cheap media, no quality control. If they had a silent film print with bad music track they would over dub a random classical piece. They cared little for the integrity of...
