I will gladly buy both MY FAIR LADY and SPARTACUS for the umpteenth time for results like this.

That's what I get for jumping in so late in the thread. ;-) Besides, after seeing so much of your work I just naturally assume that you're involved in any restoration that turns out really well.

I have spent the past four days fairly wallowing in this disc. 1776 has been a favorite film on mine since I first saw it in 1972. I've listened to the Broadway cast album more times than I can count and have read the script more times than that. I have also bought several of the previously...

I'm not sure what my ideal Atmos setup would be because I don't know what speakers I'd pair TX-NR1303 with. But replacing my current 7.1 channel Onkyo would give me the perfect excuse to start shopping for a new set, which I haven't done in the better part of 20 years. :D

That reminds me of an old Woody Allen joke: "I'm working on an adaptation of My Fair Lady. I'm removing all the music and lyrics and turning it back into Pygmallion."

Woke up this morning & checked my email to find I had made a horrible mistake last night, just before logging off. In my earlier post on Steve's loss I made reference to the earlier passing of a beloved member of the HTF community and somehow TYPED THE WRONG NAME. I swear I was THINKING...

Such horrible news. I feel almost as I did when I head that Robert A Fowkes had passed, although I did not know Steve as well He was a great on-line companion in the early days of DVD. Like others here I visited the Holy Trinity of Home Theater (HTF, The Digital Bits, and DVD Resource) every...

I loved this movie from the first time I saw it, and it also became a favorite of one of my nieces. (Her sister prefers The Princess Bride, but at least they both grew up exposed to good movies. ;-)) Am delighted it is on Blu Ray and will definitely order it via the HTF/Amazon link. (Got...

I thought I was the only one who remembered this movie. I'm surprised and thrilled that it is finally getting a Blu Ray release. Pity there was never an LD or DVD with a commentary track with Gergory Hines and Billy Crystal. They had such great chemistry in this film I could never understand...

I love this film. Saw it in the theater. First time I ever saw Julianne Moore and I was enthralled, despite her brief screen time. (I already had a crush on Sela Ward. ;-)) Andy Katsulas was also terrific as the one armed man. Sad that he's gone. The Fugitive was my introduction to the...

Somewhere in a box I still have the Columbia House laserdic with the soundtrack error - some copies were run off with the entire Hepburn track for "Wouldn't it be Loverly" (featured in one of the extras) incorporated into the body of the film itself. They sent me a letter offering to a full...

UPDATE: The TiVo premiere is already activated, and you can take over my current month-to-month subscription for $12.99 a month instead of paying the usual single-TiVo rate of $14.99. No activation and no contract required for the buyer. TiVo will simply transfer the unit to your new or...

Next Tuesday my 4-tuner Premiere 4 arrives and I will no longer need my not-too-old 2-tuner model. I also have 3 (or maybe 4) series 2s that have been gathering dust. (Don't ask) If anyone needs an SD DVR for a home surveillance system or similar application, these could be just what you need...
