perhaps i did not do a good job at explaining, so let me try again. a big business department head is very likely to get a lot of emails. i suspect that most of them may never get read, simply because of time constraints. so said person needs to be somewhat selective. without capitalization...

hi mike, do you feel the need to impress your friends ? would your friends think it was a sign of disrespect if you told them that you werent trying to impress them ? we must come from different worlds. to me, that (they feel no need to impress me, or they are not trying to impress me) is a...

hi mike, i am a bit disappointed in your reply, but am also sorry that you were offended. with regard to your first point about addressing the people at sony - i thought about it, and decided to make it look more friendly. i thought, and still feel, that i had a better chance of being heard...

thank you johnny, you hit the nail on the head with something that i feel, but i dont think i stated - at least not as good as you just did. and that is - i have simply lived too long and no longer am willing to tolerate some stuff - by matter of principle. i absolutely realize that most...

good morning, since some of you truly do not like my posts, or think i have some hidden intentions, please do as suggested and place me on your ignore list. i wont feel insulted, and it should make your experience here more to your pleasing. i dont expect to be liked by everyone. gosh, if...

hi persian, i do agree with you that media will change, at some point. but i dont think we will be unable to play our current medium. as to whether i or any other consumer will switch over, probably all depends on the situation. i see myself still keeping what i have, but probably switching...

with regards to the "obsolete" aspect of the previews - yes they will be obsolete. the only reason those previews are placed on the disk is to create sales for a newly released product. they are "newly released" for a short time. it would be way better for a studio to place a color flyer in...

hi guys, seeing heinz ketchup sitting on the table doesnt bother me in the slightest. it doesnt take away from the show, and it helps keep prices down. i wish all advertising was that non-intrusive. advertisers care when it hurts their sales. i know you guys dont care as much about it as i...

well, i thought i would spend my time, where it might yield some results, so i sent the following message to sony. If i get something other than just a courtesy response, i will post it. Hi Ann, Steve, and Paula,I have recently purchased about 25 blu-ray disks in the past month. 3 of them...

okay jason, no problem.

it certainly would not hurt to have multiple advertising options. it would be nice if i could contact a studio, and get a disk sent to me of their previews. the cost of shipping could be paid by the consumer. the system would no doubt evolve. and there are no doubt options that i have not...

what i would suggest to the movie moguls, is to completely separate the product from the advertising. no ads on the disk itself. what would be helpful is to place a bright sheet of paper, telling us to visit movietube.com. this site would be a joint venture of all movie producers, big and...

lets examine a movie theater. the previews are not obtrusive. there is down time, getting audiences in and out. so one either plays something, or nothing during that period. the going to a theater represents an exact moment in time. while i have not been to one in 30 years or so, i assume...

hi jason, that sounds right. boy, this was a wonderful movie - full of some deep human questions. i dont watch the extras very often, either. not that i would not enjoy them. but i only have so much time on this planet. although i must say that the "combat" extras were really good - in...

q2 - i never watched vhs, so i cant compare how manipulative it was. q3 - i stopped watching tv for 2 reasons - a bunch of blabber from commercials, and content that i dont like. i have not had a "tv antenna" in over 4 years. but i certainly agree with you that the tv ads are a 100 times...

i guess i need to add 7 to my BIG COLLECTION !! i was gonna go back to beaver, when i discovered i had the 7-disk star trek original motion picture collection. i am pretty sure that my first blu-ray tv show will be the twilight zone, when it goes on sale. i have so much to view, that i no...

regarding my blu-ray comment - i think what i said was that i purchase way more than the average person. i dont think it has even been a month since i received my first blu-ray. i am not foolish enough to think that i OWNED more disks than videophiles on a video site. i am not even foolish...

gosh, really !! i have never rented any sort of video product, so was not really thinking of doing so. since i really want to own everything that i like. but at least for me, renting might be a good idea for pre-purchase - on the movies that i have never seen before. depending on how much it...

that is not how your post would have been taken. the first paragraph is obviously directed to me. assuming the reader has a good understanding of english, then said reader would naturally think that the author was talking to the same person in the second paragraph as he was in the first...

hi charles, i like most of my collection, as well. there are a few that i dont really like, but one cant like all the movies they buy, unless one has already seen them. one of the main reasons why i posted my blu-rays was to demonstrate which studios were and were not doing them. but i also...

the key word here, is SUGGEST. i already know about the ignore feature, and am currently using it with some posters. someone posted that my posts were a bit extreme. i merely posted the same thing back. i was not complaining about this poster bothering me with his posts, and at least at this...

regarding my buying habits, i purchase WAY MORE than the average person. perhaps it is your posts that border on the extreme.

well good, you are being helpful with all that other criteria.

my collection just started a few weeks ago. but i am slowing down, now. however, i hope that neither you nor anyone else on the site takes your advice, although i know we all feel that way at some time. alone, jimmy and jason dont amount to a hill of beans. it is when we act together, when...

i went to the movie theaters quite a bit, as a kid in the '60s. i am not 100% positive, but most of the time there would be 2 shows (double feature) that you got to see - unless the one show was very long. and almost everyone would see both shows after paying for their ticket. there...

these are all the blu-rays that i have. as you can see, most of them do not have any ads. so i guess when they do, it really bugs me !!! from my list, sony is the only main culprit. is fox really this much bigger than everyone else ? or am i just getting a very high percentage of them for...

looper - tristar pictures (sony) - ads hang em high - 20th century fox, MGM - NO ADS when harry met sally - 20th century fox, mgm - NO ADS guilt trip - paramount - NO ADS when a stranger calls and happy birthday to me - columbia - NO ADS pawn - anchor bay - NO ADS primal fear - paramount -...

i see - just finished it. nice movie. real clear.

just started watching red tails - this one went straight to the menu. 20th century fox

at least twice now, i have noticed it with sony. i dont think i have any disney ones. i cant recall about mgm/fox releases. but i am gonna start making a point to notice which ones do this.
