All of you who are planning to go to one of the upcoming theatrical screenings of Lawrence can just stay home. You don't even need a big screen to enjoy it. All you need is a smart phone. According to David Pogue in today's NYTimes: "Also, the screen-size issue isn’t as clear-cut as you...

Amazon US and UK are still showing this available on 9/25 and 10/1. The only thing they are showing as no longer available is the more expensive UK box with the big black book. Are we sure the other editions have been postponed? Where is this info coming from?

Both Angela Martelli and Peter Handford (if those are their real names) have extensive credits listed on imdb, including movies that most of us probably have in our collections. So if anyone is interested it would be easy enough to check the spelling of their names in the credits of one of...

"A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" was announced several times and then withdrawn. It has never had a stand alone release and is only available in the big Elia Kazan box. I would love to see an individual release for this in either sd or blu. Also, an MGM title that probably falls under the column...

With a bit of a heavy heart I just cancelled my order for this set. With all of the negativity regarding it I decided that $200 was too much of a risk and returning it would be too much of a pain. Hopefully, when they start shipping it again more people will provide more positive feedback, but...

This is terribly disappointing, but I have to ask - leaving aside the whole truth in advertising issue, are these cuts bad enough to justify a complete rejection of this set? With music rights being what they are can we ever, in our lifetime, legitimately hope for anything better? I could...

The 2 disc set is posted on Amazon now - identified as having 1 disc. However, I could only find it by clicking on the link from DVD Beaver. When I went directly to Amazon and searched only the big box came up...

I wish I had taken a look at this discussion BEFORE placing my order last night. I would have held off until there was more info regarding both the contents and availability. The confirmation email they sent me said the order can not be cancelled while it's being prepared, but if it hasn't...

"A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" was released on DVD, but only in the big Elia Kazan box. It's been on my wish list forever, but I'm sure not buying that big box just for one movie. It would be great if it received an individual release. It would be even better on blu-ray. Heck, at this point I...

Thank you for answering. I'll be looking forward to "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" If you are also answering questions regarding MGM films released by Fox perhaps you could tell us if we'll ever see a blu-ray of "Hawaii" preferably in the 188 minute version.

There are so many Fox titles I'm interested in it's hard to narrow it down to just a few, but these are the ones that immediately came to mind: 1) Like several others I'm very curious about the Rogers and Hammerstein films and will they be in a box or released individually? 2) When will there be...

Excuse the 2nd post. I'm not trying to stuff the ballot box, but I've got Carol on the mind and one of my favorite skits is the Sump Pump Convention w/ Carol as an operator juggling calls between Vicki, Lyle, Vincent Price and Joel Grey. There are no pratfalls or physical comedy here, but it...

I can't argue with any of the skits and characters already mentioned. The Family skits and Went With the Wind are classic. One of my favorite skits was Snow White with guest star Jack Gilford which featured some of Bob Mackie's wittiest costume designs. I also love to hear Carol Burnett sing...

I'm actually about to cancel my Netflix streaming account because my Verizon dsl has become so unreliable that I'll be lucky if my connection holds until I finish typing this comment. I prefer physical media, but streaming, when it works, is fine for those titles where I'm not too concerned...

What do we know about the Euro version of this? Will it be all region? It includes all the same films except North by Northwest, which most of us already have, and, at the moment, there is about a $35 difference in price. There is a better picture of the packaging on Amazon's German site than...

Speaking of Lawrence, was anyone else amused to see that the short clip used in Prometheus was also in 3-D? I'm not advocating a 3-D conversion, but it did get my attention and I've been surprised not to see more comment on it.

I'm a big Hitchcock fan, but I place "Dial M for Murder" pretty low on my list of favorites. I haven't seen it since a showing a couple of decades ago at the Coolidge Corner in Brookline, Ma. so maybe a re-viewing is in order. However, I consider the scene of the attempted murder to be the...

The comic strip "Li'l Abner" had two feature length films. The first in 1940 and the second, based on the Broadway musical, in 1959.

The problem with using WD-40 or GooGone to remove the sticky residue is that the packaging then smells like WD-40/GooGone. I usually take a razor and cut the sticky strip down the middle along the gap between the front and back covers. Then I peel the two sections off from the middle. The...

I have the 188 min version that was issued on vhs by MGM/UA and on my old 32" Trinitron it looked pretty good and consistent throughout. Needless to say it looks considerably less terrific on my 50" plasma. I didn't have the heart to buy the abridged dvd version. This is a movie, like...

That German edition of the soundtrack to Porgy and Bess is no longer available. There is a cd of the soundtrack available that has been issued by Hallmark, but according to all the customer reviews I have read the quality is abysmal and it is best avoided.

This is great news. If we're lucky perhaps the Gershwin estate can be persuaded to also stop blocking release of the Porgy and Bess soundtrack recording.

This sounds very odd. I ordered Cleopatra from AmazonUK on Feb. 8. It was shipped out on the 14th and I received it on the 22nd. You might try ordering it through Wowhd(formerly CDWow). They've got it listed at $23.99 w/ shipping. I've ordered cd's from them in the past with no problems...

this is my bad experience watching WSS. Back in the 60's when I was in high school I went to a screening of WSS on Thanksgiving night. This was several years after it's initial release and probably the 3rd time it had played at the single theater in my hometown. Besides me there were only...

Received my copy from AmazonUK yesterday. Hopefully I'll get to watch it tomorrow. Disc 1 was off it's spindle and floating around in the case and has a couple small scratches so I need to find out quickly if there's any problems with it. I did take a quick look at the first few minutes last...

My replacement discs arrived today. Last week I called and was told it was back ordered and would take weeks to get so I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived. I had purchased the Target digibook and only returned the movie discs, not the extra features disc or packaging. In return they...

3 weeks from the shipping date? Yikes. I occasionally send packages back and forth with a friend in Germany and they generally take less than a week to cross the pond. Has anyone had any experience ordering from Grooves-Inc? They have the german edition for $18.00 with free shipping world...

I'm disappointed. I ordered this from Amazon UK earlier this week and last night received an email saying it would be another week to 10 days before they'll be able to ship. I was considering cancelling and trying to order from someplace else, but have decided that I'll probably end up with...

My returned WSS blu-rays were received by Fox on 01/19/12. I just called them to find out when I can expect them to send my replacements and I was told that they are on back order and they don't know when they will be sending out the replacements, but it is likely to be at least several weeks...
