The D-Theater movie listings thread... (1 Viewer)

Sorry to burst your bubble. Terminator 3 will be in the same boat as The Matrix and its sequels: Warner Brothers doesn't support D-Theater tapes so there will be no rejoicing any time soon...

Dan,

Good point. I just recalled seeing the WB logo during the last trailer. Oh well. Lets just hope Hulk gets D-VHS treatment, as I'm looking forward to that one too.

An FYI from Gary;

Any news on Glengarry or Stargate?

Artisan says these two titles are in the final stages of manufacturing and will become available soon, but no date given.

No WB titles, no D-VHS for me. What good is a refrence 1080i sustem without some of the best HT titles around?

The Matrix (And it's 2 sequels), Lord of the Rings (all three of 'em), The Exorcist (I can live, a much fuller life, without the sequels), and Blade

And two of my favorite films In the Mouth of Madness, and Interview with the Vampire.

The Matrix , Lord of the Rings

HBO-HD shows WB movies. In fact, I've got the two above movies in HD on D-VHS.

 

[Dan Hitchman]

HBO shows WB movies because they are owned by AOL/Time-Warner.

Street date updates...

A blank 420 minute D-VHS tape costs around 24 dollars correct? And that records for varied lengths of time depending on what you are recording, 1080i, 720p, or 480i correct?

Are you able to fit more than one recorded movie on a D-VHS tape? I'm thinking of getting into D-VHS but 25 bucks a blank tape seems a bit steep. I'm sure the blank tapes will eventually go down in price but I'm salivating right now at the 450 dollar D-VHS deck I saw. I was under the impression they were still over a grand.

 

[Aaron Cohen]

Can someone take a picture of the actual tape itself? I have never seen that. Your collection is awesome Albert. I can't see I care for all of the movies you have but I would definitely watch them in HD!

 

[Brian-W]

blank 420 minute D-VHS tape costs around 24 dollars correct?

Nope...

A 3 1/2 hour tape is around $25, but the DF480 (4 hour tapes) are only available in Japan and last time I ordered some, were $50 a piece (plus shipping)

The Limey, Ghost Dog & The Ninth Gate added to the TBA list from Artisan.

[Rob Tomlin]

I saw that as well.

I am flabergasted that they are going to release Ghost Dog on D-Theater!

I am a huge Jim Jarmusch fan, and I love this movie. A definite purchase for me!

The Limey is also an excellent movie, and I will probably have to pick that one up as well.

Haven't seen The Ninth Gate. How is it?

 

[Troy LaMont]

According to Artisan, The Terminator will never see the light of day. :frowning:

Taken off the list. Street date updates.

FYI,

WSR gave Daredevil and Snow Falling on Cedars a 5 for video.

WSR gave Daredevil and Snow Falling on Cedars a 5 for video.

I just received my copy of the latest issue of WSR. Not only did they give Daredevil a 5 for video, but it received a 5 for audio as well.

They said that this is one of the best, most entertaining sound mixes encountered to date and should definitely be considered one of the latest and greatest home theatre demo's available!

Also, the soundtrack offers "an incredible sonic spectacle".

I have my copy pre-ordered!

Daredevil should be great. Hopefully, we'll see an X-Men 2 announement pretty soon. To be honest, Fox is the only studio that has really supported this format. Releasing "big" titles like Ice Age, Daredevil, and hopefully X2, day and date with dvd has really proved that. Keep it up Fox. As for you Artisan, if you don't want to be in the DVHS game, then back out completely. Stop teasing us with title announements, then cancelling them.

Just received an Email from BestPrices indicating that they have shipped Daredevil, Something About Mary and Phone Booth.

I tracked the shipment, and they should arrive today. Pretty cool considering that the official release date for these titles isn't until the 29th.

 

[Mark_Wilson]

Watch Daredevil the other night. There aren't really any eye popping demo worthy scenes since the film takes place mostly at night. But those dark scenes do look great. Can't comment on the sound as I had it down real low since the kids were sleeping.

Hopefully, I'll have time to watch Phone Booth tonight.

 

[Troy LaMont]

New additions and street date updates.

[Ron Boster]

What? No annoucement for X-Men United for d-theater? That is disappointing. :frowning:

 

[Troy LaMont]

Saw this tidbit on WSRs software forum;

after writing to fox ref any fiture release dates, i got this reply.
Hello Kevin,

At this time, Fox has no plans to release any at this time. That does not means that later in this year some will come out (I feel around Christmas time there should be some coming out).
Thank you,

I called and she did say that X2 is supposed to make a splash but she didn't have a release date.

She also stated they will continue to support the format.
