I've never understood the obsession among some caring about burned vs pressed anyway. Warner Archive's George Feltenstein has said before that earlier in the WAC history, they switched from burned to pressed because of outcry due to people's perceived thinking that burned was inferior but that...

Just when I was starting to think this one had been forgotten.... Thank you Warners & Mr. Feltenstein! :)

I don't think so. Most corps make you agree to terms to use their product, but I personally have never had any physical device that I bought and paid for years later out of the blue refuse to work unless I agreed to whatever brand NEW terms they decided to shove down. Roku turning people's TV's...

Roku TV's and players for the first time ever as far as I am aware have started forcing users to accept new terms or their Roku TV/roku player basically becomes an unsuable brick - in other words Roku is basically holding their customers ransom. These new terms force all users to give up their...

Hi, I do think you are basically right that if the conversation hooks you then you're likely to enjoy the film, otherwise not. And I do see what you mean regarding the writing relating to the Beck postscript. I did think it felt clumsy and somewhat half-baked, and using someone as polarizing...

FYI, this film has a 96% favorable audience reaction score. I just watched this the other day and thought it was actually a very unique and interesting film. Given this, I was curious if there was any conversation on it here, basically just to see the few comments above talking about its...

For anyone interested, I looked deeper into the Step By Step situation. In the previous DVD season set releases, Warners made several major screwups: Season 1 & 2: ok but not ideal. The 4x3 content was encoded as 16x9 which means the black bars were encoded in the stream. 4x3 TV on DVD...

Well, I appreciate this slate of releases if for no other reason than it mixes things up a bit. I am totally happy and appreciative of WA releasing many of the 30's-60's films they have (I keep waiting for them to get to "Friendly Persuasion" tho), but there's also many films that need love (or...

Yes, that's my question too. Warners screwed up on some of the original season sets. The episodes that were pillar-boxed they did so by actually chopping out the actual 20-25% of the picture. I know because one of the affected episodes is the S3 Christmas Story which was ALSO earlier released...

Thanks! According to Wikipedia, it looks like Halestone went belly-up in 2020 and most of their stuff was absorbed by Deseret Books, so my guess is that's who controls it now. Thanks.

My #1 choice from the 70's is the original Norman Tokar directed "Where the Red Fern Grows". Would love to see that on blu. For awhile I assumed Disney had the rights since they did an inferior remake in the early 2000's but now I'm not sure. The original was an independent production and I...

I finally saw this film today. It is a fairly well-made & acted film for what it is. Its real power lies simply in the fact that it is shedding light on a subject that has long needed some good light shed. For those talking about "political" stuff surrounding this film, I saw pretty much ZERO...

Huh? I see the thumbs down on my post so I assume you are referring to me? I guess I'm a bit confused. Isn't the whole point of message forums to discuss things? Doesn't that require words? You yourself according to your post count have apparently posted 4,277 messages over the years which I...

Well, there's a thread because he created it in response to my inquiry. But, the reason I asked was as the title said because I was genuinely curious - it seemed odd to me that it was missing when it's been so high profile in the box office and when there has been a thread over at that "other...

I hear what you're saying and you are right that we can't really know. Like many movies, timing can be everything. BUT, I still don't really understand why child trafficking is an issue that a vast majority of people regardless of beliefs can't get behind being brought to the light. I think...

I guess I don't really understand why this movie would be any harder to avoid talking politics in than any other. I mean, yeah, I'm sure the actors and so forth have their political beliefs, but that goes for lots of other actors/actresses too with all types of political beliefs that are vocal...

Thanks, I was just surprised not to see a topic for it given its popularity at the box office but it must have just slipped through the cracks where nobody ever created one.

I have not seen it yet, but it is on the agenda after a bunch of people I know have seen it and said it was incredible and an eye-opener. I have read some criticism by some anti-trafficking organizations that there were embellishments made in the film that they felt didn't need to be there...

Just curious: I haven't seen the movie and have no particular opinion on it at this juncture, but I am confused as to why "The Sound of Freedom", one of the top 3 grossing movies from the last few weeks with like 120million domestic appears to have no movie thread or any discussion whatsoever on...

Really what we all should be concerned about is that Warners will do a zoom & crop of the 4:3 picture, thus losing 25% of the picture info. Some of their more relatively recent 4:3 TV DVD's had this problem, including Step By Step, and I never saw the problem acknowledged by Warners. I no...

I'm not a fan of this show, but that looks to me like they did a pretty good job on the widescreen. In recent times, I have begun wondering what Little House would look like widescreen - I'll bet that could be done in similar fashion if NBC was so inclined. Part of me even wonders if they did...

Thanks Rodney - looking at that trailer led to the actual 45 minute documentary there on YouTube with the producer and actors. Amazing to me they talk of how the movie did so well and led to over 10 million home video sales and what a shelf life the film has had over 40 years and they like it...

Ah well, no takers, guess I'll try again next year lol Where's Robert Harris when you need him? :biggrin:

3 more recent entries from the 90's: Trapped in Paradise [under-rated Christmas movie starring Dana Carvey, Jon Lovitz, Nicolas Cage] The Last Brickmaker in America [Sidney Poitier's last role] Walking Across Egypt [excellent performance from Ellen Burstyn]

Wondering if anyone, say the likes of a certain Robert Harris :) might have any more info to offer on this title? Is the original 1974 film truly with Disney? (I have great doubts about this). It just flumoxes me because it's got to be one of the worst SD transfers around and I keep seeing it...

I don't know where they are on the TV front, but I know the last 2 shows of Warners' DVD's I saw came completely butchered - Step By Step and Perfect Strangers. They were mastered incorrect with missing approximately 25% of the 4x3 picture (they put what basically amounted to a zoomed-in 4x3...

I'm still looking for Friendly Persuasion on blu. EDIT: Oops - I meant to post this in the other Warner wishlist thread. But this is a good place too. lol Glad to see Long Long Trailer released!

Don't know the title, but I think I've got the synopsis: "See the story of the peeping tom whose long-lost wife that he used to romance in the woods died under very mysterious circumstances and haunts him in his dreams. Watch as he turns from the parasol-loving romancer to a man desperate to...

Ok, I see this thread every year with the same basic stuff posted. I know many like and have already posted the 50's-60's stuff (personally I think the Dennis The Menace Christmas ones and the Andy Griffith one take the cake from those eras), but here's some other ones just to mix it up and...
