Re: Sony to Distribute Disney Home Video Titles; Disney Movie Club Shutting Down

Hearing the the US Club is closing, I am very glad that I spent my money on Disney exclusives when DMC Canada shut down. I've yet to see them all, of course, but its nice to know I picked up 95% of these releases while they were available. I'm watching many of the late seventies/early eighties relea...

Re: COLUMBO Coming on Blu-Ray From Kino

I'm enjoying the series, the first time I've ever seen any Columbo episodes in full. So far, I've just seen '"Suitable for Framing" and "Short Fuse" but the series' production values are amazingly high. So far, the villains have all been arrogant sods. :lol: As you mentioned in y...

Re: Last Orders at Disney Canada

Thanks for the feedback, guys :) Yeah, I'll be concentrating mainly on the remaining exclusives that I don't have yet. The 4Ks are tempting at the price, but its true that I can look elsewhere for them later. Shame DMC Canada is shutting down because the pricing was always good and it was great to h...

Sony to Distribute Disney Home Video Titles; Disney Movie Club Shutting Down

I've been making up my last order at Disney Movie Club Canada as it is closing down at the end of the month. Currently, everything is 70% off (although S&H is expensive.) While I'm going to get the exclusives that I still have outstanding, I'm wondering about some of the other Disney releases. H...

Re: Carl Davis R.I.P.

A fine composer.

Many of the CDs in his catalogue are available at Rarewaves at a very reasonable price.

Re: Hollywood Self-Implosion with Actors Going On Strike

I don't follow the Hollywood system any more, as I don't find their product very appealing.

I just wonder how much this is about AI taking over. I would have thought the main problem is the lack of residuals for everyone under the streaming model. Isn't that the real issue here?

Re: JBHiFi Blu-Ray & 4K Buy 1 Get 1 Free Sale

I received half of my initial order today of Carrie, Spotswood, Twisted Nerve and Money Movers, which is not bad at all.

Nice slips on Twisted Nerve and Money Movers, the former without the ugly ratings logo (reversible cover, too) and the latter including a COMIC BOOK :D

Re: Network DVD Goes into Liquidation

I've been filling some holes in my Network collection by buying from rarewaves.com and chalkys.com.

Mainly the ITV television series I never got around to picking up including Randall and Hopkirk, plus Stingray and Joe 90.

Sad to see Network go. :cry:

This isn't just happening in the movie industry. My nephew works in gaming software. His company recently released a new version of a popular game featuring a "woke" character and it bombed. He thinks the marketing guys became so caught up in thier Internet bubble that they didn't realize ...

Re: Powerhouse Indicator Sale

Any advantage to getting the Harryhausen box set of the Sinbad movies vs getting them separately? 3 for 15 individually, but 27 for the set. I can't find any special about the box set. Looks like there is an 80 page book with the box set. Also look at the ACCESSORIES page to buy overrun booklets an...
