    Does the longer version of SOUTH PACIFIC still exist?

    These are two photos from the 1958 Australian program that may be of interest. The program also has a quote from Oscar Hammerstein: " If we had the whole world to choose from and were doing it over again, we couldn't have a more perfect cast"

    Getting “server error” for some functions

    This "database error" alert occurs at least once per day. I was just logging in - not doing a search. On Safari/MacBookPro. Maybe it's the hot summer weather down here in Australia :confused:

    Full screen covering ads?

    Pos up everytime I head to HTF. Can't close it for at least 10 secs. Really annoying :angry: (I'm in rural Australia - using Safari on MacBookPro).

    What browser are you using on your Mac?

    I use an ancient 15 inch MacBook Pro (the last with a DVD drive) running Mountain Lion OS (mainly because of legacy software). I've almost always use Firefox Legacy. If an issue occurs, I use Waterfox Classic. I've never liked Safari.

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Topaz -- in 4k UHD

    I wrote about this 2009 Hitchcock DVD box set recently in a different thread. Picked it up for a dollar at my local op shop (thrift store). The Topaz running time is 147 minutes (Region 2 & 4, PAL) with the airport ending. Among the extras it has the alternative endings Duel and Suicide, the...

    Watching movies letterbox/wrong aspect ratios.

    Have been reading the Hitchcock reviews but I’m not a 4K person yet (have an LG 4K TV, but no player yet). I was in my local op shop (thrift store) recently and picked up for just one dollar “The Alfred Hitchcock Collection 1966-1976” box set (4 DVD’s, PAL, Regions 2 + 4, Macrovision protected...

    My Three Sons Australian Release-Did Anyone Buy It?

    I've just been on the phone with the Manager of my local JBHiFi store, and their online Fulfilment Centre. The website listing is an error - it should not be there and should have been deleted. The Manager said the item has now been deleted in Australia and is no longer available - that is why...

    My Three Sons Australian Release-Did Anyone Buy It?

    According to JBHiFi's website they ship TV box sets to the USA (using Firefox Legacy browser on MacBookPro).

    My Three Sons Australian Release-Did Anyone Buy It?

    My local JBHiFI still has it at $17 AUD. Don't know what shipping costs.

    Twilight Zone - The COMPLETE Definitive Collection (28-Disc Set)?

    Much appreciate the explanation! I was going crazy - thought my Blu Ray player was on the blink :wacko:. Surely it wouldn't have taken much effort to put some sort of title over the black image, or even put a printed insert into the box set. Never mind, at least the missing footage was found.

    Twilight Zone - The COMPLETE Definitive Collection (28-Disc Set)?

    The seven episodes are on my DVD Disc 4 - see attached image (they're not numbered). I've started watching Disc 5 and all is OK and back to normal. However I've now stopped watching or listening to Serling's chats about next week's episode as they contain "semi-spoilers". For me, they take away...

    Twilight Zone - The COMPLETE Definitive Collection (28-Disc Set)?

Starting with Season 1, Disc 4 the episodes end with a title and a voice over...

    A Fresh New Look for HomeTheaterForum.com

    I much prefer the original look. Some of the reviews (see attached image) are almost impossible to read on my MacBookPro (on the left) - small white font on dark blue background. I now have to read these reviews on my Samsung Galaxy phone (on the right).

    Broadway Melody and Cimarron

    I purchased my copy online here in Australia from EzyDVD.com.au. It's still listed on their website.The episodes are apparently available separately. Be careful - there are a number of similar box sets available online with almost identical titles. My box set is on the Ovation label hosted by...

    Broadway Melody and Cimarron

    Broadway Melody is referenced in the 5 DVD Box set "Hollywood Singing Dancing". On disc 1 there is a 2 minute long section which include a 1997 interview with Anita Page. Hope this helps.

    Attempting to use an ancient Sony SA-CD player in an era where it aged like milk.

    I live in a rural area with very few Thrift stores (called op shops here). None wanted these vintage players. My next step is to try my local Facebook Marketplace, and then the website StereoNet (of which I'm a member). Someone somewhere must be interested in them :unsure: .

    Attempting to use an ancient Sony SA-CD player in an era where it aged like milk.

    I still have my two SACD players - Sony DVP-NS700V and Pioneer DV-S733A (gold). Both work fine. As I now have a new Yamaha receiver with HDMI they are no longer needed. Unfortunately no-one is interested having either for free, and I've had no success in selling them, so they'll be going in the...

    My Three Sons Australian Release-Did Anyone Buy It?

    Saturday arvo here. Just noticed my local JBHiFi is still selling this box set for only $17 AUD. That is definitely a steal. I'm tempted ^_^

    Annoying Ads Popping Up!

    I'm now finding that ads pop up and obscure most if not all of a Forum page. I'm lucky to be able to read one line of a post (see attachment). I'm using Firefox Legacy on an old MacBook Pro. It's worse on my Samsung Galaxy A70 phone. Maybe the ads derive from Firefox, or my internet provider...
