    Saving Private Ryan Reviews?

    lol, aww, thanks guys. I've actually been coming to the forums for quite a while and never posted before. I guess I should be embarassed, seeing as I'm a real-life snobbish film student, too and should know this stuff. But in all seriousness, thanks for the response and for not getting mad at...

    Saving Private Ryan Reviews?

    Thanks, I knew about those others, but this was such a brief moment in the film that I was surprised by the color overlap. It was not in keeping with the "documentary" feel of the film. Thanks for the replies, though.

    Saving Private Ryan Reviews?

    Hey, I have the four-disc and I have a question about Disc 1: About the 2:35 minute mark (when Upham is yelling at the German soldiers) the colors go kind of strange and the white background overlaps onto Upham's head. Is this part of the film or is it a bad disc? Thanks.

    New HT won't decode correctly

    Hey everyone, Sorry if this is not the right place to post this: I just bought a Sony HT and it's all set up, except that it won't decode in 5.1 or DTS. In 5.1 it simply uses R L SW and it won't play anything in DTS at all. The coaxial is connected between the receiver and the DVD player...

    WOW!!! what happen with Roger? (Ebert)

    Yes, I hope he turns out okay myself. Ebert is my favorite critic although I know a lot of people don't like his reviews. I find him to be witty and insightful and for the most part I find myself agreeing with his opinions. In his review for Supersize Me he talks about his dieting if you want to...

    Which out-of-print DVDs do you regret not buying?

    Raging Bull, one of my absolute favorite films... I know I could pick it up online somewhere but I keep hoping for a special edition, especially since Warner is rereleasing Goodfellas. Time for MGM to get their act together and release Scorsese's best film is a deserving remastered two-disc...

    Criterion 8 1/2 Question

    Hey, thanks for the info and link. My real question though was regarding the delay before each line of dialogue. The syncing didn't botherme at all, but I didn't recall the entrances of dialogue being so misaligned with the beginning movement of the mouths of the actors.

    Criterion 8 1/2 Question

    Hi everyone, I am new to the forums. I recently bought Fellini's 8 1/2 (my first Criterion [!]) and was wondering about the dubbing. I know that Fellini didn't care much about making lips match up to the actors because his films were shot silently (as were most Italian films of the time). But...
