Just thought that I would post a problem I am having with Casino which I sourced from the US. I have a UK Sony S360 player, which plays many discs fine (about 10 films so far). So I ordered Casino, it arrived brand new from amazon.com put it in the player, began playing, all seemed fine. Then I...

Kinda reminds me of the Superman WB DVD's they brought out in 2006. The transfers for Superman 1-3 were rather good, (I dont own 4 so can't vouch for that one) however the transfer on the Donner Cut was terrible. Really low bitrate transfer, and on a big screen looked awful. A real shame.

I agree that the video quality isn't great. Some sections of the film look worse than others, but generally its heading for the 8/10 score. Those with bigger screens (LCDs) should probably get the blu ray. Looks ok, but could have been better.

Hello, Managed to get hold of a copy of the R1 Dark Knight release from my UK friendly supplier... I am aware that most of the interest now is probably in the blu ray release, but seeing as I haven't "gone" blu yet, DVD is all I have im afraid. A few shots of the packaging which has the...

My apologies. I did look for a thread, but could not see one. So, I did hear something about Warner re-releasing this sometime this year? Are we ever going to get a new transfer for an SD DVD release?

I did search for an existing Heat thread but I couldn't see one, or at least not in the 7 pages that I searched. I read something about Mann's "Heat" possibly being re-released in the spring/summer 2008 is that true or did I imagine it? This is one film that I love, but don't own due to...

Hello. I live in the UK and I have the R1 dual sided release of Casino which doesn't play properly at all on my new player, the first half of the film plays ok it seems, but after the layer change all hell breaks loose... My question is, is there anything I can do to somehow get an...

Hello, This is really a cry for help on behalf of my brother who has just bought a PS3, but he is having difficulty in connecting it to our home internet connection. I have taken the network cable out of our PC (which comes from our modem), and put it into the back of the PS3, gone into...

Still no sign then of this? I saw it today in Tescos for £3 (region 2 release), but I thought there was a better R1 edition out, sadly it seems there isn't...

Perhaps there just isn't the demand for a new cut. Its a shame as I think its a rather good action film, they certainly dont make them like this anymore! :)

Cliffhanger is one of those films that I really like, yet can't quite figure out why, im not really a massive action fan, but I really enjoyed this film. I understand that quite a lot of footage was cut by the MPAA before release, but wondered if there were any murmorings of an uncut release...

How so?

Goldeneye is great, apart from the ridiculous free-falling chasing the plane off the bike sequence.

Am I right in saying that the next bond film will be a kind of sequel to Casino Royale? A friend of mine told me the other day that Felix becomes a baddie and betrays Bond .

Here you go matey... http://debrief.commanderbond.net/ind...howtopic=39909

Apparently the R1 is cut by a fair bit. The opening B+W sequence is cut by a few shots, and the stairwell fight also. The R3 is uncut.

They should cast Michael Gambon as "M".

Any sign of any US R1 reviews / screenshots at all yet?

That much is true, if the haloing was less, then it would be a much better transfer, however bitrate means everything to a transfer imo, for example, with Superman II and Superman II: The Donner Cut, the "normal" Superman II version was encoded at about 1mb higher or so, and you can instantly...

Could someone possibly post uncompressed images of the R1 when its released? I want to compare it to my R3, if the transfer is any better, ill junk the R3 and get the R1. However, considering Sony have decided to cram three 5.1 tracks onto the R1 disk, I doubt there is much to gain (image...

No, the R1 just has three 5.1 tracks, English, French and Spanish. For that reason, I doubt the R1 will have a different transfer (even though it warrants it).

Yeah, its native res. I just hope the R1 version is better, but perhaps having two 5.1 tracks encoded at 448kbps and a dts track at 768kbps took up too much disk space in what is a reasonably long film, thus the image quality suffers. The image bit-rate at times is quite low, dipping into the...

Below are shots from my R3 edition. Note that the transfer has particular difficulty in coping with the titles backed onto the blue in the second screengrab (where its largely a huge mess). A lot of edge enhancement or haloing in some scenes. Not exactly a "pristine" transfer. The...

I emailed two different email addresses relating to the exchange program about 5 days or so ago, but judging from people's responses here, it takes at least 10 days or longer for the mailer to arrive.

Well, I just called today, spent 10 minutes on hold (im in the UK) then I was told to call a different number (1877 832 9959) Does that ring true with anyone else? Could someone in the US do me a big favour? Could you call that above number (which I believe should be free to you) and tell...

How on earth are they getting these addresses so wrong? Do they not read them back to you once you have given them? (just to check?)

Sorry to beat on like a broken record, but is there any hint of when the new corrected stock of S1 will hit retailers. I am in two minds wether to order it or not... If its going to take months for new stock to arrive, ill just buy an existing copy and arrange for the disk swap via...

Still no news then when new stock is being sent to retailers I take it?

Hello Jack, What was it like working in England, and how do you think the British film industry differs in terms of work ethic to that of the US? Cheers, Ben.

One question about the ending; How come according to Donner the original ending to SII was Lois dieing in the Fortress of Solitude, then Superman turning back time to rescue her. In which case, why wasn't this filmed, as its not what Donner shot in the end, (as she survives obviously) yet he...
