As long as you have that avatar, or one of us out here has a copy of the OOT that weighs ten pounds and a machine to play it on, then LD is something more viable than shadows and dust.

I listened to part of the commentary on the new 3-disc Gladiator today; that's one too-new movie I wish I could own on LD.

You just have to ask nicely, and Blockbuster will usually let you have as many as you want.

Sounds like a very good deal, I hope everything works out for you. And you didn't have to sell any body parts or relatives!

I'm considering DVD-ifying the handful of LDs my mom has, and stealing my old CLD-D502 back from her. You know, just in case.

There's a big DVD set of about 14 Hitchcock movies coming out this fall. They've all apparently got new video transfers, and "Vertigo" is listed as having both 5.1 and 2.0 mono DD tracks. There's still some curiosity if the 2.0 mono refers to the commentary or the original mono track.

Once I got past the fact that John Constantine was now a chain-smoking Angeleno instead of a chain-smoking Englishman, "Constantine" was pretty entertaining and fit the tone of the "Hellblazer" books I read several years ago. "LXG" (from the ADD-addled Fox marketers who brought you lazy-phrase titles like ID4 and X2) had potential, but just didn't work for me, either as a standalone movie or (especially) in comparison to the books. Quatermain was too much of a tough guy, Mina Murray lacking in mystery, and Tom Sawyer just unnecessary. The only thing the movie really nailed was Jeckyll and Hyde. Having Quatermain temporarily dead spoils some of the tension of Vol. 2; a zombie screwing a vampire just ain't the same as a still-mortal human getting it on with a bloodsucker.

Not only did we have to buy our own paper, but this sharpenable eraser with a brush on the other end. I barely passed the class (got a 72, <70=F) and didn't really learn to properly type until I got to college and spent endless hours perusing newsgroups and jibber-jabbering with other folks (often in the same room) over the university mainframe. ADigitalMan knows what I'm talking about.

Stop it, Greencapt, you're bringing back low-tech high school memories. I think there were between eight and twelve TVs in my HS, all of which rode around on carts with a VCR tagging along. I think a couple of the VCRs might have been old-style-even-then top loaders. The teachers just looooved having to scrounge up a TV for a video lesson; the smart ones would make their reservation weeks ahead.

I know because *I* would sell your car, kidney, and sister. And if I sold one of her kidneys separately, I might have enough to also get new speakers and repaint my car.

I looked at some finished eBay auctions when you first posted this, but forgot to reply. A Pioneer Elite player is probably gonna be outside your price range, but IIRC there was a CLD-D704 in very good shape with the manual and remote that sold for just over $150. If I hadn't stepped up to my DVL-919 way back when, I probably would have gotten a 704.

Also, some Pioneers are rebadged for other brands, including Mitsubishi and (I think) Marantz.

But admit it, you'll sell your car/kidney/sister to raise the dough for an X0, won't you?

Stee-rike twooo!

Kurosawa was a writer for the Japanese sequences of Tora!Tora!Tora! but, again, he wasn't in it. Hint: Look past his writer, director, producer, editor, etc. credits.

And we did Valerie Harper about six posts ago.

Try again. Kurosawa got story credit on "Last Man Standing" since it's a(nother) remake of "Yojimbo," but he wasn't in it.
