Well, Amazon finally delivered the goods! My long national nightmare is over! Hmmm… whIch one to watch first… ?

I got an Amazon update, now getting Aliens and True Lies on March 27th and The Abyss has a shipping window between April 1st and 10th. It’s getting closer and closer 🙂

Update from Amazon, now I’m getting True Lies on March 27th and Aliens on April 2nd. The Abyss is still…well…lost in the abyss I guess. No delivery date yet on that title.

I just got an April 17th to May 17th as a delivery estimate for True Lies!!! First week of April delivery for Aliens, and no still no delivery date for the Abyss!!!

Speaking of Bond scores, the entire soundtrack to “Never Say, Never Again” is pretty weak. I never listen to it anymore. ( I also rarely watch the film anymore either.)

George Lazenby in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. Almost. It’s still one of my favorite Bond films, and I watch it often. But every so often during the film his performance takes me right out of it for few seconds. Considering his complete lack of experience he does an admirable job, but still…

The way I’ve understood it, after they decided to stop shooting part II and just concentrate on finishing part I, they also realized that if Superman the movie was a flop, they would never finish part II, so perhaps it didn’t make sense to end on a cliffhanger anymore. So now they needed a new...

I got the impression (from the extras on the blu ray) that the Donner Cut should be watched as if the first film did NOT include the turning back the world sequence, and ended on a cliffhanger, with the Phantom Zone Villains being freed by the XK-101 rocket Supes hurled into space (which was...

Yes! The sound mix/design of the Director’s Edition is completely new, including all the scenes from the original theatrical version. ( and since they had access this time to the ADR recordings, some of the performances and line readings are different from the ‘79 version.

I got the Complete Adventure 4K set today ( and got the same runaround about delivery date from Amazon that many others have posted about, so wound up getting it at Best Buy). Holy Moly does this film look and sound awesome now! I think I’m most taken by the new sound mix. There’s a lot of...

My very first was Goldfinger on RCA Selectavision CED disc, in 1983. :)

Thanks. almost all of my discs play fine, but I’ve had lock ups on Vertigo, 2001 and now this one. Time to upgrade I think.

Is anybody else experiencing freezing about 51 mins into the 4K disc? I’ve wiped the disc down, but still get multiple freezes between the 51 and 55 min mark, finally just stopping and I have to eject the disc. The special features disc with the theatrical and laser disc version loads and plays...

Columbo The Prisoner (blu ray) The Man from UNCLE Doctor Who (classic & new) Batman: The Animated Series to name but a few.. :)

It’s true there are only 18 first run episodes episodes that were broadcast from Sept.’67 to Jan. ‘68, but the show ran on CBS on Saturday mornings through the beginning of September ‘69. I always think of it as running for two seasons, even though it’s just same 18 episodes being run over and...

Wow! I got this set today, and the quality is fantastic! Definitely remastered since the old burn on demand set from 2011. Super vibrant color! It’s really been cleaned up! And best of all it includes the second season alternate titles! Something the first set didn’t have. Also, the...

I was 15 in ‘79 and was going to the NYC Trek conventions every September and February, and I can tell you in February of 1980, two months after TMP was released, the overwhelming opinion at the “Star Trek America convention“ was that the film was a massive disappointment. However, most of us...

Excellent news! I bought the Warner DVD back in the day, but If this release looks as good as the recent Jonny Quest and Space Ghost blu rays, this will be a great upgrade!

It really depends on my mood. If I’m on TV history kick, I’ll watch shows in air date order, even seeing what other shows were on the same evening and watching those shows too, if I have them in my collection. But, if I’m really getting into a specific show, like say Star Trek TOS, I’ll watch...

Rick Baker‘s work as Kong is the ultimate reason for me to pick this up! As well as nostalgia from seeing this back in ‘76. Looking forward to it! oh yeah, and also John Barry’s awesome score!

I’ve watched this the twice since getting it this week. With the Tim Lucas commentary and then normally. Looks and especially sounds a million times better than the Retromedia release. A great, fun and informative commentary by Tim Lucas as well as a pretty good 20 min documentary on the...

I got the set this week and it looks amazing! Just as crisp and clean as the recent Blu ray‘s of the Jetsons and Space Ghost and Johnny Quest. The colors really pop! (And yes, they were pressed Disc’s.)

I’ve wiped it down twice and unfortunately it still freezes at the same point (when Scottie gets up to get Madeleine’s hair pins.) But now at least it just freezes for a second and then continues to play, so that’s an improvement. It’s interesting that it’s at the same point in the film with...

I got the Hitchcock 4K set today and unfortunately as some others have reported Vertigo freezes around the 48 min mark. I‘m watching on a Sony UBP-x800. I was able to fast forward past it, but when I ran the scene over again it froze again. Very frustrating.

I was just going to post the exact same thing!

I jumped ahead to the season two premiere episodes (a.k.a., The Council of Doom storyline), and one of the two bumpers appears in between those episodes. I had forgotten but it was also the same on the 2007 DVD release. So that’s one bumper out of two on the blu ray. The other missing one is...

I just got the Space Ghost blu ray set today. It looks spectacular! Really vibrant colors, and definitely cleaner then the 2007 DVD release ( although there are still some specs of dirt here and there). I’ve only sampled a few episodes so far and there doesn’t seem to be any of the original...

Awesome! I got the DVD back in 2006 or 2007. I definitely got 13 + years of enjoyment from that purchase, so absolutely time for an upgrade. I hope they were able to locate the original interstitials shown between commercials back in the day, they were very cool. But either way, I’m definitely...

I was big fan of Love American Style back in the 70’s. It was part of an awesome Friday night lineup that included The Brady Bunch, The Partridge Family, Room 222, and The Odd Couple with Love American Style rounding out the evening. It would be so awesome if the remaining seasons were put...
