Looking forward to this on Blu-ray!

The original titles (Intermission and The End) had a dark background with sculpted Roman heads--just like the opening credits.

Anyone know why Universal replaced the "Intermission" titles? The replacement on this disc is on a blue background which were not the original titles.

I received mine today via Fed-Ex! It took just 2-1/2 weeks to arrive. Pretty speedy compared to other exchanges. /img/vbsmilies/htf/smiley_wink.gif

I just called the 888 number and shock--I was talking to a real human who verified Todd H's information about sending disc 1 to them. I was told this process should take a few weeks. The rep provided the exact same address as in Todd H's post.

When you call the 323 number, you will get a recording with instructions on sending an email to Paramount. They will then send you specific return information--no date on how long this process will take. The email address you need to send is to: [email protected]...

Amazon has just lowered the price of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo to $19.99 matching Best Buy.com's price.

What many of you may not have understood is that Amazon has been price matching Best-Buy's sale this week of 30% off all Blu-ray titles including pre-orders. Amazon's new prices are basically matching Best Buy's new sale price with their 30% off sale. I'm not sure there was ever an extra 10%...

The issue of a deluxe OZ set vs. a regular one came up at the last Warner Home Video chat. The Warner rep said they "were looking into" putting out a regular edition of OZ. Excuse me, but that was several months ago. There would have been sufficient time to announce both editions by now...

The solution I am looking forward to is buying a single Blu-ray edition of WIZARD OF OZ from a UK vendor. Of course, I'm assuming that the UK will have a single edition in addition to the deluxe version.

You forgot to mention one of the best things in the film--Jane Lynch. She plays the youth agency's leader who was a former cocaine abuser. She steals every scene she's in!

According to the CinemaScope documentary on THE ROBE, this film did get a poorer lens than HOW TO MARRY A MILLIONAIRE. Fox signed with Henri Chretien for the rights to his anamorphic process. Although they were in the public domain, Fox signed because they would have immediate access to...

I agree with most of you--NO theatrical version for me. We need to speak with our pocketbooks that we prefer the extended cut. That's the only way Warners will take us seriously and put out the extended versions sooner.

I watched my copy tonight was pleased with the result. I agree with Robert Harris, it's probably the best it's ever looked on video, but don't expect perfection. I was never a fan of THE ROBE, but purchased it due it's importance in film history. One of the clever bonus features is that you...

As a reaction to the DVD Times review, one poster hit the nail on the head: "This release is a sad example of the difference between tinkering and restoring and, in its tinkered form, hugely damages the enjoyment one gets from a classic film. It is unfortunate that tinkering seems to be all...

If our posts are not enough, Owen Roizman, the cinematographer of THE FRENCH CONNECTION was "appalled" by this transfer. He should know!

I just finished watching THE FRENCH CONNECTION. As much as I enjoyed the original film, the grain in the film was totally disappointing. Yes, the color was somewhat de-saturated, but the extreme grain was what upset me. I don't remember that much grain in the original prints. They had a soft...

Sorry, to contradict most of you, but I thought HISTORY OF VIOLENCE looked just fine. I have seen Blu-ray titles with poor transfers, but HISTORY is just not one of them. Perhaps Mr. Harris is used to seeing more grain in his video transfers, but I thought HISTORY looked good--not demo...

I was at Fry's about a month ago and they had the exact same cables on sale for $5.99. Due to the low price, I picked up two just in case. And yes, you're right, they are now priced at $17.99. What a deal!:confused:

I saw HARRY POTTER & THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX in IMAX and have a serious aspect ratio concern. Although the film AR is 2.35 with 35mm anamorphic prints, the IMAX image looked closer to 2.0. I would suppose that IMAX knocks off some image off the sides to get to a 2.0 image. Anyone have a...

Most of my Blu-ray discs come from Amazon. In late 2006 they were offering a deal where they would give you 10% off all high definition discs as long as you placed 3 titles on one order with their code HDDISC10. Not only would you get 10% off that order, plus Amazon would give you 10% off all...

My only complaint is that the BDP-S1 does not display the remaining time on a disc, only the elapsed time. Anyone have a fix for that?
