    Why is HBO still not broadcasting in OAR for HD?

    At this point, most of the films TCM shows haven't been mastered in high definition -- no point in having a high def channel if everything's SD except for Casablanca and The Adventures of Robin Hood.

    Why is HBO still not broadcasting in OAR for HD?

    And yet I've seen quite a few OAR films on Showtime and Cinemax, especially their digital premium channels, while none of HBO's channels do it.

    Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - Any Plans For a Remaster?

    I think the real deal-breaker is the scope of the FX. I mean, with TNG you could do four shots of the Enterprise, and and that'd be half the FX shots for the entire series. There are a few episodes of DS9 that would require as much FX work as an entire season of TNG.

    South Park: Season Twelve

    Nothing proto about it. The goth subculture was a decade old by the time you graduated -- the first goth band, the Bauhaus, had been broken up for five years by that time.

    Any plans for Burton to make a sequel to Planet of the Apes?

    The original series was horrible about continuity -- in the original film, it's clear that Taylor's expedition doesn't expect to see Earth again for several hundred years, but in Beneath NASA sent out a rescue mission; Cornelius, Zira, and Dr. Milo find, repair, and learn to fly the spaceship in...

    How will the disastrous economy affect the release of new catalog titles?

    Are you including things like Casablanca: The Repackaging and Sabrina: Now with 15 Minutes of Special Features? Because if you exclude those, things are way down. Last year Warners was putting out two or three new box sets a month. Now we're lucky to get one.

    South Park: Season Twelve

    I never saw You Got Served, but the SP parody was among their best. "Dude, you got goth served."

    "TERMINATOR: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" Season 2 Thread

    Good thing there isn't a cable network that airs several popular sci-fi series on Fridays, including one that will be in its last season come spring and conflict with Dollhouse in some time zones.

    MICHAEL POWELL DOUBLE FEATURE

    Are Sony's double features generally two discs, or should we resign ourselves to a flipper?

    Breakfast at Tiffany's and Funny Face: Centennial Collection editions (Jan. 13, 2009)

    Weird. I never really liked the "Think Pink" number, and find the stuff in France the best part of the film. My only complaint about the film is that they didn't get Eve Arden for the Kay Thompson role.

    Breakfast at Tiffany's and Funny Face: Centennial Collection editions (Jan. 13, 2009)

    A Paramount executive commented: "Audrey is the new Duke." A pair of triple dips, and still no African Queen.

    BOETTICHER/SCOTT SET

    Actually, it strikes me as more reminiscent of Warner's Peckinpah set. The picture of Boetticher at the camera is almost identical to the one of Peckinpah.

    "TERMINATOR: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" Season 2 Thread

    According to T3, Sarah died in 1997; the pilot for TSSC takes place in 1999 and Cameron says Sarah would die in 2005 if not for the time jump. The writers are ignoring everything about T3, and the cancer is just a coincidence.

    Alfred Hitchcock Premiere Collection - Oct 14, 2008

    He planned out each scene in meticulous detail, to the point that he would stop an actor in mid-sentence because he knew he was going to use a different angle for the rest of the line. However, that doesn't mean that he never dropped individual scenes from a film if he later realized they were...

    Sci-Fi from Warner

    Not everyone lives within a reasonable distance of a Best Buy. By granting a monopoly to Best Buy, it's highly unlikely that we'll see any good deals on these discs. Several studios have released bare-bones DVDs through Best Buy, only to announce a feature-laden double dips a couple months...

    Touch of Evil (50th Anniversary Edition) 10-07-08 (See Post# 14)

    The Universal DVD of This Island Earth is 1.37:1, as are many of the films in their sci-fi box sets -- the only exception is The Incredible Shrinking Man, where the FX shots were hard matted, forcing them to do the entire film that way.

    DVD Review HTF DVD REVIEW: Secretary

    The extras sound exactly the same as the previous release. Sounds like this is one of those, "Slap a new cover on it to trick Best Buy into stocking it like a new release" releases.

    Lost scenes from METROPOLIS (1927) rediscovered !

    Why not colorize it and have actors dub in the dialogue? The intertitles are part of the flow of the film and removing them is just as bad as bad as re-editing the film itself. Not to mention it would introduce a number of jump-cuts. ---------------- Now playing: Blonde Redhead - 23 via...

    Alfred Hitchcock Premiere Collection - Oct 14, 2008

    Because as long as the film is completely out-of-print in the US, people will pay absurdly high prices for it. Right now even used copies are selling for above MSRP. Once this set hits shelves, the price will plummet. Anyone with all three Criterion discs could easily sell them for $120, then...

    Alfred Hitchcock Premiere Collection - Oct 14, 2008

    The one thing that bugged me about the Warners and Universal sets was the dearth of commentaries -- IIRC, only 3 out of 23 films total had one. The documentaries were nice, but classics like Rear Window, Psycho, and The Birds really deserve a scene by scene analysis. It's good to see all the...
