Idea: 'That Was Spinal Tap - A Rock and Roll Creation' - a supplemental project?
Time
I know this is a longshot, but does anyone here own the Criterion DVD of Spinal Tap? With the stuff that Rev. Beastly is sending, I'd like to make a comprehensive compilation of all material. Something in the vein of the Dawn of the Dead Ultimate Edition Vol 2 is doing. I own the Special Edition, but need the extra stuff on the Criterion DVD that the SE lacks. After that, I'd like to find some other things to add... (And I know you have them!!! ).

At first he tells Peter: "Intelligence is not a privelage, it's a gift."

Peter: "You once told me intelligence was a gift, to be used for the benefit of mankind."
Doc Ock: "Yes, a privelage!"

I guess no one proofread the script enough to pick up on that.


I caught it, and chalked it up as Otto being hazy with his memory. I mean he wasn't exactly in his right mind.

NON-Star Wars Fan Edit and Alternate DVD Covers SHOWCASE
Time
I'd like to make a request. My wife owns the "Nightmare On Elm Street" Collection, but dislikes the packaging. (I'm not too fond of it myself. It's pretty drab.) If anyone out there would like to tackle this request, I'd be grateful. I've seen some on different websites, but to say the most of them... they're not very good. I'd do it myself, but have too many projects to finish myself. There's talent on this board, and I'm sure that I wouldn't be the only one appreciative of a new set.

Dawn Of The Dead Ultimate Edition Volume 2-UPDATE Discs 1-4 (Released)

I'm in a desperate search for this set for my wife because I would like to give the set to her for Valentine's Day. (I know, but horror is her favorite film genre, and she's a huge Romero fan.) If anyone would like to help me, please send me a private message. I have a good amount to trade, (Banned Bond, Building Empire, Van Halen (no Hagar) Bootlegs, etc.) or I can send blanks and postage.

Thanks! I would *really* appreciate it.

LG Announces First Blu-ray/HD DVD Player
Source: LG Electronics, Inc.
January 7, 2007


Blending the latest technologies and offering unprecedented flexibility to consumers seeking the convenience of playing both Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD high-definition content, LG Electronics (LG), a leader in consumer electronics and mobile communications, today launched the groundbreaking "Super Multi Blue" Player at the 2007 International CES® in Las Vegas.

Launching in the United States during the first quarter of 2007, this advanced dual-format high-definition disc player, LG model BH100, will be the first player on the market with the capability to play both next-generation disc formats, addressing the challenge of the current format war.

"We've developed the Super Multi Blue Player to end the confusion caused by the current competition between Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD. Customers are no longer forced to choose between the two formats," said Dr. Hee Gook Lee, president and chief technology officer of LG Electronics. "As Full HD TV is already gaining ground, we are hoping that the Super Multi Blue Player will play the trigger role in expanding and advancing both Full HD TV and high- definition DVD market volume together."

LG Electronics also offers flexibility to consumers in next generation optical disc drives for personal computers. The GGW-H10N, also available in the first quarter of 2007, is compatible with both Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD formats. The Super Multi Blue 50GB drive is compatible with Blu-ray Disc, DVD, CD read/write and HD-DVD-ROM (read), offering the most universal unit available.

"We know our customers want high-definition content for their HDTVs. We also know a format war keeps people on the sidelines," said Mike Vitelli, senior vice president of merchandising at Best Buy. "With this new dual-format player, LG is offering a viable solution to this dispute. This is the kind of customer-focused approach that Best Buy looks to bring to our customers." Warner Home Video President Ron Sanders added, "We enthusiastically welcome LG's introduction of the Super Multi Blue high-definition disc player. This is a great first step towards resolving consumer confusion and uncertainty due to the two high-definition formats. The Super Multi Blue Player will allow studios to better meet consumers' growing demand for high-definition content in both the Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD formats."

"By providing a high-definition player that supports both Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD discs, LG is delivering a product that puts the customer first," said Randy Wick, senior vice president and general merchandise manager of consumer electronics at Circuit City Stores, Inc. "We applaud the LG customer-friendly approach, as it will serve to alleviate customers' confusion about the two formats."

Michael Ahn, president and CEO of LG Electronics North American Headquarters, echoed comments from Hollywood and leading retailers in support of LG's dual-format approach. "The American consumers' love affair with HDTV is now even stronger thanks to LG's marriage of Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD. What's more, our player upconverts standard DVDs to 1080i resolution, providing compatibility with consumers' existing movie libraries while improving the picture quality of those discs, too."

In addition to offering Full HD 1080p picture quality from high-definition discs, the player incorporates interactive functions based on BD-Java, which allows advanced menus and functions to be displayed over the video of Blu-ray discs. And, while the same level of advanced menu interactivity is not available while playing HD DVD discs, the powerful combination of Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD audio-video playback technologies is like no other on the market.

The unit supports various A/V formats, including MPEG-2, VC-1, H.264 video, MPEG1/2 audio, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital+, DTS and DTS-HD audio, and includes multiple inputs/outputs such as HDMI out, component/composite video outputs, and optical/coaxial/discrete 5.1 channel audio outputs, among others.

The strikingly designed unit incorporates elegant and easy-to-use backlit touch sensor buttons along with an ergonomic remote control that delivers an effortless command of the next-generation home entertainment experience.

LG's Super Multi Blue Player (BH100), available to U.S. consumers during the first quarter of 2007, is expected to sell for about U.S. $1,199.




So there is a player that plays both now. Just so everyone knows.

.: The XØ Project - Laserdisc on Steroids :. (SEE FIRST POST FOR UPDATES) (* unfinished project *)
Time
Zion, MebeJedi, Laserman, et al:

Originally, you were gunning for a release of Star Wars to coincide with the release of GOUT, but realized that you needed more time. Now that the X0 team has stated that they're "in the final stretch," should we hope for a Christmas/Hannukah release, perchance? I know I shouldn't be expecting anything, but a person has to dream, right?

Idea: Turning Catwoman into a Batman movie?

I'd still want to see Clint Eastwood do it. I know he's way past the timeline, but it would be so freakin' cool. At least Bruce Wayne in a Batman Beyond film.
