    Internet Poker & Blackjack - Tried it? Any good at it?

    Listen up, I was reading about Partypoker.com in the Evening Standard (London, England) newspaper and they were raving on about how Internet players have won THOUSANDS off these websites from just playing with $50 or £100 at the start :eek: So I signed up to play Poker. I made sure I played...

    Why do we set up 'Studio wish list' threads, if we get no responses?

    I don't know, maybe you think I'm rude. But no one so far from a Major or Independent studio has logged in to confirm ANY of our wish lists. We haven't had a web chat (not that I know of) for months, yet we continue to post list after list. Who's really reading this and why don't they reply...

    What is the BEST DVD calibration (Region 2) disc?

    Is this the right forum? Oh well... I've heard Digital video essentials is apparently one of the best Testing & Calibration DVDs around, but how extensive is it? If you know any others and/or better ones please say so... But remember I use the Region 2 PAL system.

    Why are certain "budget" DVDs non-anamorphic?

    Hello! I have Lifeforce and Withnail and I on (Region 2) DVD and I can't understand for the life of me why they aren't anamorphic. I also bought "The Package" (1989 Gene Hackman thriller) which is on MGM DVD like Lifeforce but IS Anamorphic. WHO has at the DVD division of a company has...

    Need help with Widescreen/screen cut off problems!

    Hello! This may sound like a really unusual problem, but I hope you can solve it. I have a JVC Widescreen TV. I have two problems, When I play Freejack (1992 - yes, I love it!) on my TV, I get the black bars because it is a 2.35:1 ratio film. It is also anamorphic, great! The funny...

    I'm confused over widescreen picture....?

    Hello! I did read the FAQ on Widescreen Anamorphic DVDs and very helpful it was. But I just want to clear something up. I have LIFEFORCE (1985) on R2 DVD (Don't laugh ;-) and unfortunately unlike most other MGM DVDs it's NOT anamorphic. It's in 2.35:1 basic widescreen. Although it's great...

    How do we get actors/directors to have official websites?

    I'm not sure where this post should be: But I'm asking this question as I'm interested in what's going on in Wesley Snipes and John Woo's careers... They don't seem to have OFFICIAL websites and so I was thinking: do you have to contact their agent or the Screen Actors Guild? There are...

    Why aren't Eddie M, Steve M, Robin W. funny anymore?

    Hi! I've always wanted to ask: Why aren't Eddie Murphy, Steve Martin and Robin Williams funny anymore? It seems that each of the comedies have slid into middle age and just lost their flair! Ironically, they only seem to be funny when their doing voiceovers! I mean why is Eddie very...

    Has the GOLDEN AGE of ACTION Movies gone?

    I like the reaction I'm getting to various threads around here, so I'd thought I'd start another one! DOES ANYONE AGREE WITH ME THAT THE GOLDEN AGE OF ACTION MOVIES IS GONE? Obviously, I'm not suggesting a return back to the early '80s days of misogynistic, OTT and right wing...

    HOLLYWOOD/THE MPAA and MOVIEGOERS: The buck MUST stop here!

    Why are old movies in Widescreen on UK Network TV but not on DVD :-(

    This is really for UK readers, but if the American Networks or HDTV stations do the same thing than this applies to you. I'm just saying that how come the BBC and Channel 4 stations can show '60s, '70s and '80s films in a basic 1.78:1 (16:9) widescreen format, many of those SAME films are...

    Someone PLEASE get John Carpenter to make sequels to Big Trouble... and The Fog!!

    I don't know what John Carpenter is currently working on, but I miss his quirky and fun movies :star: Plus, whenever he links up with Kurt Russell they always take a movie to new heights of inventiveness and catchphrases. I saw Big Trouble In Little China last night and I was amazed that...

    Can we get Paramount to re-release the magnificient FACE/OFF as a Special Edition?

    It's about time this fantastic movie was re-released as a Special Edition. Paramount NEED to get to work on this one! This was John Woo's finest film and after Paycheck, it would remind fans why he's great! I'm talking about a 2-Disc Set with a new anamorphic transfer, 5.1 AND DTS PLEASE...

    I saw KRULL on TV last week... Why don't they make these movies anymore?

    I saw on KRULL (1983) on Channel 5 in the UK last week. I also have it on DVD (mainly for the great Cinemascope visuals lost on pan n scam Network TV ;)) I felt sad that this kind of movie is not made anymore. I know some of you might be quick to say: Well what about the Lord of the Rings...

    Can Hollywood really DO Comic Book movies properly?

    From a similar post somwhere else... :) Do you think Hollywood can really DO most Comic Book movies justice? I'm worried that a lot of studios think it's nothing to buy the rights to (a) Marvel/D.C./Dark Horse comics character(s) and then put together some half-assed movie... Look at The...

    A while ago I heard rumours on the Net that the excellent Family Guy was coming back. That also got me thinking about Futurama. Is it coming back?
