DTMX Posted May 29, 2004 Report Posted May 29, 2004 As soon as Cops is over, this DVD is going in. Quote
BruceH Posted May 30, 2004 Report Posted May 30, 2004 Recently watched Steamboat Bill, Jr. on a Kino DVD. I thought the quality was seriously lacking. They should have letterboxed the damn thing. Quote
Shawn Posted May 30, 2004 Report Posted May 30, 2004 No pre-1953 films (post-The Robe actually) require letterboxing because the aspect ratio was 1:33:1 which is roughly the same as your TV screen. Quote
RainyDay Posted June 22, 2004 Report Posted June 22, 2004 (edited) Bridget Jones' Diary is on in the other room on cable. I really love this film and don't know why. Well, yes I do, the music for one thing. Chaka, Aretha, that lovely Van Morrison tune. But it's a sweet story in a been there done that sort of way. I've seen it so many times it's becoming a cult film in my house. Edited June 22, 2004 by RainyDay Quote

ghost of miles Posted February 19, 2005 Author Report Posted February 19, 2005 Recently got the INVISIBLE MAN Legacy set and plan on watching the original tonight or tomorrow, plus at least one of the sequels. Universal's done a nice job with these horror-movie packages; wish they had done the same for their recent Marx Brothers set, which doesn't even quite reach the level of "bare bones." Quote
Jazzmoose Posted February 19, 2005 Report Posted February 19, 2005 Picked up the Warner Brothers gangsters set at Costco yesterday....White Heat, Public Enemy, Little Ceaser, Angels with Dirty Faces, Petrified Forest and The Roaring Twenties all for about $40.00. What a blast! Quote

What a blast! So to speak. Saw that set advertised in The New Yorker recently and will probably have to pick it up myself. I still remember seeing Public Enemy at a local library when I was a kid (in the pre-VHS/DVD, pre-cable era) and what an impact it made on me. Quote
tonym Posted February 19, 2005 Report Posted February 19, 2005 Just finished 'Adaptation'. Very good, very clever-clever, too obviously so at times; "the last thing I want is to throw in drug running and a car chase"..yeah, yeah, what do you get . However, I'm worried about how far they can take this genre (even though there haven't been many films made in this way) without rehashing the same elements from past movies. Quote
tonym Posted February 19, 2005 Report Posted February 19, 2005 Next up is 'Before Sunset', which should be interesting as it's been about 10 years since I saw its precursor, 'Before Sunrise', when it was shown at a small indie cinema over here. Small segments of the film still stick in my mind; something about Vienesse cemetaries, and bookshops/recordshops ???? I remember how hot Julie Delpy was Quote
