Sad news, though not completely unexpected. In this day and age of streaming, I’m not sure the venerable Cinerama Dome can be saved.

Anyone watched or watching Ratched? I think its quite good although very different from what I initally expected. Very much like a mid-to-late 40s Warner Bros noirish Joan Crawford picture as directed by Hitchcock and Douglas Sirk, and told in lurid Technicolor instead of b&w. With many nods to...
Over the last couple of weeks I have found that 3 of my Twilight Time discs all freeze up at about the 2/3 mark and quit paying entirely. Nothing after that point will play, even via Scene Select when I start the discs over. They are Experiment in Terror, Body Double and Nicholas and Alexandra...
Sadly, this very talented actor has passed at age 69. Most probably remember him as King Arthur in Boorman's Excalibur, but I've always loved him as the petulant (and unbathed) Prince John in The Lion in Winter...
Given John Landgraff's assertion that it will have an "unusually large reinvention" this year, and with the "Hotel" sub-title, I'm wondering if it may be a more weekly anthology series this time around, with emphasis on weekly guest stars and stories as opposed to an overall arc. Just a guess...
It froze in the middle of a disc and now it will not recognize any disc at all. I know nothing man-made lasts very long these days, but for $500, I certainly expected more than about 18 months. If this is their normal life expectancy, I won't be buying another. :angry:
I'm so shocked and saddened to read her announcement. She had such an amazing instrument. And she excelled at so many different genres.

I just watched this disc last night, and the newsreel was silent. There was sound on all other "Warner Night At The Movies" items, just not the newsreel. And it clearly was a sound newsreel. There are no title cards at all, and it's pretty obvious that there is narration telling you what...
A few months ago I was given a Sony Grand Wega 42" KF-42WE610, which is a few years old and had a DVI input instead of HDMI. I had been using component connections on the TV with GREAT results until a couple of weeks ago when I finally needed to get a new dvd player. I decided against plunging...
I just got That Girl Season 2 and was wondering if it contained a booklet with episode synopses like Season One did. Mine did not, so I just want to confirm whether I'm missing something or if this season just doesn't come with one. Thanks.
Snagged a copy of Jeannie S2 early and have discovered several cases of music replacement so far. Early on disc 3 they switch the closing theme on the episodes to the Season 3 version. The episode "One of Our Bottles Is Missing" has the opening music of the teaser scene replaced as well as a...
Don't know how many people remember this mini-series. This was one of my favorites, and I've never forgotten it. I've either been really out of it, or this came in REALLY low under the radar, but I was shocked to see this on the shelf, released last Tuesday. I haven't had a chance to watch...
Not a big deal to me, but I thought I'd post the info in case it matters to someone else. I know some people won't buy if there are any edits from the original broadcast versions. The 3 Grand Canyon episodes are slightly edited in that they have cut off the cast boxes filling the screen at...
I have to say that I'm thrilled this KKK drama is getting released next year, according to the WB chat tonight. I pointed this out in passing in another thread, but I think it bears repeating: Warners had said in their last chat (or possibly the one prior) that this film wouldn't be released...
I just bought the Warners Classic Musicals: Broadway to Hollywood set, and I noticed that the Easter Parade SE contains an insert, but The Band Wagon SE does not. Does anyone else's have an insert? Just want to know if my disc was missing it in error... Thanks.
According to Amazon.com the first season of The Doris Day Show will be released by MPI Home Video on June 28th in a 4-disc set. This is GREAT news, but as the first season was the weakest, I certainly hope the remaining four seasons get released. But I'm not compaining. I'm thrilled to see even...
Stephen Munns of DorisDayTribute.com reports on his site that Warners Bros. confirmed to him that in May, in addition to the four DVDs already rumored (Please Don't Eat The Daisies and The Glass Bottom Boat) and announced (Love Me Or Leave Me and Billy Rose's Jumbo), the following two movies...
Paul Brownstein's TV Classics (the same company that put out the great Dick Van Dyke Show sets) had restored and remastered Doris Day's two 1970's TV specials and some of the negatives of her 1968-1973 sitcom for release on DVD. Now, according DorisDayTribute.com (which I trust as they have...
