I wonder is this is why the Volume 3 films all have multiple dubs except Topaz, which has only English and French. Does anyone know what was cut for the theatrical release?

Andrew Manze and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic released a well-received set over the last several years. The sound is glorious and the interpretations bold and muscular.

No, 65”. Size matters!

I unfortunately have no where else to use it, and hate to just stick it in the basement.

If anyone is still following this thread, I have a 65” Pioneer Kuro Elite that I am about to replace with a 4K Sony. Low mileage and works perfectly. I have the speakers, remote and manual. Free to anyone who can pick it up from western Massachusetts.

1. I purchase 5-10 blu-rays each month (but lots more classical music CDs). 2. Blu-rays are mostly classic dramas and comedies. 3. I did not know about 96K Upsampling.

Jay, If you end up in West Stockbridge, the Shaker Mill Tavern is a great place for a beer and/or dinner, and Truk's has very good Vietnamese. If you have some spare time in Dalton, check out the Crane paper museum. It's where they make the paper that money is printed on. There is a...

Jay, I've had a summer place in Stockbridge for three years now, so I know a little about the area. You might want to check out the Berkshire Eagle, the local paper, online. I don't know much about housing in Pittsfield, but the area south of "downtown" towards Lenox, and east towards Dalton...

If you enjoy Levant's humor, you should try to track down any of his three books: "A Smattering of Ignorance," "Memoirs of an Amnesiac" and "The Unimportance of Being Oscar." They are hilarious, and ultimately heartbreaking.

I just purchased a 60" Kuro Elite, to replace my 6 year-old Sony rear projection LCD that developed yellow blob. The picture on the Pioneer is stunning with my new Blu-ray player. The high def cable gets installed today. I got a very good deal at my local high-end audio store, so you might want...

I don't have much insight, but I did see clips from LOA in blu-ray at the Sony store in Tokyo in late 2006. It was part of a display for blu-ray players and HD TVs, comparing them to standard DVD. So some work must have been done to prepare it for blu-ray.

My Vertigo and Rear Window arrived yesterday (in separate boxes), the same day I received an e-mail from Amazon saying they would be delayed one week. No sign of Psycho yet

Footlight Records, formerly of NYC, now web-only, is an excellent resource for soundtracks.

DOWNHILL is available in the R2 Concorde box set from Germany.

I just got back from a vacation in Japan, and we ate Kobe beef in Kobe. It is very different from any steak or beef I've had at home. It's very heavily marbled with thin veins of fat, and very, very tender-literally melt in your mouth. The flavor was also much better than, and unlike any other...

How are the individual cases numbered in the new 3 disc set? I just received my one disc replacement, and is has spine number 51. My old discs had spine numbers 51.1, 51.2, and 51.3. Plus the numbers are a little lower on the spine. Now they're not going to match, and that upsets my obsessive...

Here in CT you cannot sell a home if it has an in-ground oil tank. It is the seller's responsibility to have it removed, have the soil tested for leakage, and install a tank in the basement. That's what we did when we sold our home 4 years ago. If that is not the law in NJ, I would negotiate...

I play a doctor in real life, but not on television. An oncologist, as it happens. Time is the only thing that will reduce the risk of lung cancer in a former smoker. Depending on how long and how much you smoked, it takes 10-15 years for the risk of lung cancer to return to the baseline of the...

I have owned both an MG (1953 TD) and a Miata (1990). Both are fun to drive, but unless your girlfreind owns the repair manual, is handy with a wrench, and has a lot of spare money for spare parts, you must talk her out of the MG. I wholeheartedly agree with everyone who has recommended buying a...

Don't forget Lina Wertmuller's "Seven Beauties." The Italian title is "Pasqualino Settebellezze." The scenes with Shirley Stoler and Giancarlo Giannini are exactly what you are looking for.

I ordered one on December 29, got a confirmatory e-mail, but haven't received the box yet. I haven't tried to contact them to see where things stand.

It's more likely that the strokes and heart attacks are due to the mechanism of action of the drugs. These drugs inhibit an enzyme called cylcooxygenase-2 (hence the name COX-2 inhibitors) that controls the production of substances like prostacylcins and prostaglandins that produce pain and...

Larry, If you live near Camden or along the river in Burlington County, you could take the new light rail to Trenton, then change to the NJ Transit train.

I'd also mention the Proceed PDMT player. It got consistantly great reviews when it was introduced, and it's performance in my system confirms what I read. Beutiful picture quality. Music is very important to me, and this was the best CD player I ever heard, until I got my Levinson 390S...

Jay, The Merritt to Milford, then the connector to 95 is probably the best route. Just plan on lots of traffic on 95 from Milford through to Clinton (exits 38 to 63) unless you can get through there by 3 o'clock.

I don't think there is a good route through CT on the Friday of a holiday weekend. I live and work in the New Haven area, where the worst congestion seems to be. If you are not over the Q bridge and past exit 63 by 3 pm, you are probably doomed. However, the traffic is usually gone by 7pm. I'd...

For me, it's TERMS OF ENDEARMENT. Can't stand that movie! Tom Fynan

Finnegan, our Westie, developed food allergies last year, so we had to feed him foods he had never eaten before. He is now on a (very expensive) venison and potato dogfood. We call it the Bambi diet. He likes it, and his skin looks great, so we're sticking with it

Mike, I have a dedicated 2 channel set-up in my living room, and a completely separate HT system in my home theater room. I spend far more time listening to CDs than I do watching DVDs, so the music only system is the better setup. I have a very "simple" stereo setup- A Mark Levinson 39OS CD...

I owned a 1999 325 4-door that was probably the best car I ever owned. I now drive a 2002 M-3 convertible that is more fun, but a little less comfortable. The seats in the M-3 are a little narrower than the standard seats in the 325, so I would avoid the "sports package" seats if you or your...
