    The Good The Bad and The Ugly - 50th Theatrical

    The Good - Most close ups look pretty good. Most of the yellow tint is gone. The Bad - Colors are off a lot. Flesh tones are sometimes terrible. Blood looks like burgundy nail polish. Contrast ranges from good to bad. Dialog volume is low. When camera moves off the actor speaking, an "echo"...

    Puppet On A Chain limited bluray

    The new Puppet On A Chain (limited to 1000) bluray while missing most of the print scratches present on the Scorpion widescreen DVD, is a very minor upgrade in overall picture quality. This from watching the first 5 minutes and A/B comparing the two discs.

    Kiss of The Dragon - Is there a difference?

    I can't find any reviews on the 2015 re-release of Kiss Of The Dragon. Did they fix it?

    Sanyo Z3 / Oppo 981 problem

    I have the Sanyo Z3 / Oppo 981 "Predator" lock-up problem. Sanyo Canada service dept. plays dumb about it, wants both my projector and player so they can replicate this "mysterious" problem (that they have never seen before but, they have heard about it in the U.S.) before they can decide how to...

    Sanyo Z3 projector problem

    Has anyone had this problem? Sanyo Z3 with low hours use worked fine until I recently hooked up an Oppo 981 running at 720p. About an hour into a movie the picture goes out with pinky/purple pixelated brightly washed out screen. The remote will no longer work and the projector has to be shut...

    Funky Squad

    Am I the only one who saw this very funny Australian Starsky and Hutch/Mod Squad 70's cop show send-up? Is it on a video format down under?

    Jonny Quest-ion?

    I was watching the new Jonny Quest DVD set and I noticed that sometimes during an explosion or an "energy zap flash" effect, the picture on the T.V. would jump or roll. It was as if the output of the effect was too strong and messed with the stability of the picture. Anyone else have this happen?

    DVD-R recording quality

    I have been experimenting recording laserdiscs and have found the quality to drop noticeably at the 2 hour and 14 minute mark (Panasonic E50). 2 hours 6 min. was the longest prior to that and it looks great. Those of you making personal copies of movies may want to omit studio intros, end...

    Panasonic E50 users

    The Panasonic E50 has an edit function where a commercial or unwanted segment can be erased on a DVD-r. Has anyone tried this function? After disc is finalized, does the program play skipping the erased bits seamlessly? Also, exactly how bad does a program recorded at 3-4 hour speeds look? If...

    The Love God?...Chopped!

    One of the funniest bits in The Love God? is when Abner does some cool James Brown footwork in the "Mr. Peacock" number. Sadly, the matted widescreen dvd chops him off at the ankles. VHS version...you win this time. The horror...the horror... :angry:
