Agreed. While I grew up catching TOS in reruns through the 70's and 80's, it was TNG that holds a special place in my heart, along with DS9, the Original Series-crew feature films, and the first two TNG films. Anything after that just seems like cookie-cutter Trek. Voyager was nothing more than &quo...

With The Digital Bits' recent announcement that Paramount is planning to reissue TNG this September 4th in a complete series box set (in time for the series' 20th anniversary), I'm wondering just what will comprise the new box set. Will it simply be a repackage of all seven season sets of TNG when i...

Flash Gordon: Savior of the Universe Edition 8/7

The Digital Bits has just posted today that Universal plans to release its long-awaited "Flash Gordon: Savior of the Universe" Edition August 7 on DVD. No word on supplements yet, but it sounds like a sure thing that it'll be in anamorphic widescreen format and Dolby 5.1 sound. And if that...

R.I.P. - The power of three strikes again

This time it's Brent Parker, co-creator of "The Wizard of Id" comic strip with Johnny Hart (who just died last week); Barry Nelson, the first James Bond in the 1950's TV adaptation of "Casino Royale", and Don Ho, best known for the campy Hawaiian song "Tiny Bubbles", wh...

I gotta agree with you on some points, Andy. Granted, a double-dip is not always the best way to go, though it's only worth it when the content is definitely more than worth the upgrade - i.e., the LOTR 4-disc sets, the Gladiator 3-disc extended set, and of course the more than wonderful 14-disc Sup...

Spider-Man 2.1 on DVD

Andy, I've got to agree with you, "Spider-Man 2" is definitely one of the best superhero films of recent years, quite a lot better than (dare I say it) "Superman Returns", which I enjoyed a whole lot. (My wife, however, is sick of it, she told me! :lol: ) As for the new 2.1 DVD r...

Somehow, the thought of a fourth Indiana Jones film doesn't thrill me all that much. I thought the first "Mummy" flick with Brendan Fraser could have easily passed for an Indy film - all that was needed was Harrison Ford and another $100 million domestic intake to make it an Indiana Jones ...

Superman Cinema has the first four parts of an 11-part article of how Michael Thau could reconstruct "Superman II" to bring it closer to Richard Donner's original intentions. It's speculative, of course, but certainly merits a look. Read on: http://www.supermancinema.co.uk/daily_planet/dvd...
