Gord, Following your advice I'll gladly wait. My So-Called Life was so worth it! It would be encouraging to see this title distributed internationally following the recent BMG/Sony merger! Thanks again. :) John
For all its faults I loved the series. When it aired in the UK I had recently graduated from University and had started working for a well known media company who were likened to Majestic 12!
Eerie, Indiana was brilliant! I haven't seen the series since it aired on the UK's Channel Four in the early '90s! At least Dream On is coming this Autumn/Fall!
Chris, Thanks for the reply. I agree with what you're saying in terms of JW's vision and, yes, at times there are issues whereby an actor (who would be off screen in 4:3) is walking with their mouth closed, but their dialogue can be clearly heard! Not unique to Buffy. I should have...
The whole 16:9 issue is a curious one! From what I've gleamed Fox US issued a statement suggesting that it was never the creator's intention to screen Buffy in widescreen (from S4 onwards). However, the DP (Director of Photography) is clearly considering a 16:9 composition (with a caveat that...
According to various online sources The OC S1 will debut on October 18th in the UK, which is a week ahead of the US! I can only hope, 16:9/4:3 debate aside, that the extras are as near identical as possible - allowing for licensing issues (if applicable).
I think I'll be picking up Roswell S1 (R2 DVD) over the summer (perhaps during one of the endless online sales!). With regards to Shiri's acting ability. Hm, she's cute nuff said! :b
Garfield on DVD! Haven't seen my favourite TV cat (after Henry's Cat of course) since watching his exploits on Children's BBC 1 in the '80s! Must buy it...
Dan, Thanks for the reply. Now that you mention it I now recall that Fox US had issued a statement concerning Buffy in 16:9, and that it was never the creators intention to have the series shown in widescreen!!! As you said, how Warner Bros approaches markets outside the US will determine...
In the UK (where I live) Channel Four broadcasts The OC in 4:3 and it wasn't until I read this thread that I learnt the series supports 16:9! It'll be interesting to see whether or not the R2 release of The OC S1 is 4:3 or 16:9 - Buffy from S4 onwards is 16:9, but I understand that the R1...
I know that this is no consolation to fans who have purchased the R1 releases of DC. However, the R2 releases, from S2 onwards, are 6 disc sets! I haven't viewed DC S2 yet, but can only assume (hope) that the image should be an improvement over the R1 edition - with the increased capacity and...
