A few more questions on this topic. . .

:) I currently own a Daewoo all-region player which I purchased for under $100 and DVD-Rs have run on it perfectly so far. Thanks for the recommendation, Mr. Dursin. If I wished to get my own software to do this procedure, what would be the recommended one from you computer experts out there? I also...

Differences between DVD-R and +R?

:? I have a friend who is willing to copy some DVDs for me and specifically asked me to get blank DVD-Rs. Any differences between the -Rs and the +Rs?

Rated PG-13 Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut Run Time: 122 minutes . . .but 122 minutes [b]is[/b] a little over two hours, and even if it is shorter than the 1981 theatrical release, the shorter running time might be because Donner removed some Donner ...

This is the true face of evil

Film buffs, mavens, historians and just plain lovers of movies-here is the face of your enemy. Remember it. Do not forget it. It has no soul, no way to reason, no feeling.

2010, DAY AFTER-some thoughts

I remember seeing 2010 opening day at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood (even buying advance day tix-not necessary, many seats still available at start of film) and getting more and more frustrated by the general take of the film and throwing my popcorn box at the screen when Scheider stated "I st...

A painful viewing memory

:? I remember watching this movie in the only theater that played it in the Los Angeles area. It was the UA Coronet in Westwood and it was in 70mm. I remember so looking forward to it being a history buff and there being a dearth of pictures on the American Revolution, plus I liked what Hudson had d...

Maybe studio heads are finally growing a pair. . .

8) It is so nice to see studio execs finally having the cojones to tell some of these movie stars some truth. First Lindsay Lohan got read the riot act by the head of Morgan Creek productions, and now Cruise has gotten a whack upside the head. If MI:3 had been the biggest hit of the summer, this pro...

Not that many studio chiefs are Jewish anymore. . .

Unless many of the studio takeovers from the last 30 years have been reversed, there really are very few (if any) studios that are being presided over by people of the Jewish persuasion anymore. Mayer, Cohn, Laemmle, Warner, Zukor, Goldwyn, Selznick-they are all gone now and have been for more than ...

Williams-yes; Columbus-no; Newell or Couron-yes!

I say yes most definitely to Williams but keep that hack Columbus away from the soundstage. He made ONE :!: good film-ONLY THE LONELY-but the HOME ALONE films and STEPMOM-ptooey!! Offer Newell or Couron whatever they want to make the remaining films (they could each take one) and leave them alone to...

Let us take a breath here.

Maybe it is time for us to calm down a little bit here. It's obvious that this topic still stirs up some extremely powerful emotions and will for years to come. My own feeling is this: how long shall we wait to tell the story of 9/11? There seemed to be no waiting period for WWII stories being told ...
