Glengarry Glen Ross.   Very good movie.   A lot of cursing, but very good.

ALWAYS BE CLOSING!

BEAUTIFUL!!

That's the most extensive replica project I've ever seen.It puts the Force FXs to shame. Finally there is a perfect Damn Fool Idealistic Crusading lightsaber.

Makes me very sad that I'm hopeless with tools...

Also, has anyone noticed that Scorsese's films often have really bad continuity?  Just simple stuff, like a guy leaning forward in one shot, and then he's leaning back in the other actor's coverage, and back to leaning forward in the next shot.  I first noticed it at the end of the Aviator where 2 characters are walking and talking... it cuts to a close up of them where they are stopped, and cuts back to them walking and talking and then they stop and face each other.  Back to a close up of them stopped and talking.  Then back to them walking and talking...  normally I'm not the contnuity police, but it seems to really stick out in these Scorsese films to me for some reason.

He has a great ability to really get into the feeling of a scene even if it doesn't make any logical cinematic sense (all of After Hours). His best works have a very New Wave freedom to them. (Who's that Knocking At My Door?, Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, After Hours, Bringing Out the Dead)

The Aviator was just plain laziness. It really pains me to see new Scorsese films. I love him to death, but can't we get something a little more passionate?

The scene that made me love Marty:

There's no reason for any of it-but it is so vibrant and fitting.

Forget Leo. We need DeNiro and Keitel back.

Casino Royale-the real movie from 1967.

As for Dalton, his Bond performances are fantastic but marred by production issues and less than stellar scripts. He definitely deserved more. (Although the proposed third film was to have taken place in Hong Kong and seemed like LTK part 2) As I have said before, TLD is the last great James Bond film.

oh dear, oh dear.

Star Wars presented in Digital Torture Systems fully lossless codec entitled the screams of Jedi Temple34...

It's gotta be the 97, because now that would be considered archival :(

I'd like to think it's possible for a print of ESB to still look good-the last ones shown in the 1990's were said to look fantastic.

all kinds of used tapes and odd versions primarily:

95 VHS set, 95 Widescreen VHS set, 97SE VHS fullscreen, 97SE VHS widescreen twice, 97SE LD, 04 Widescreen box set, GOUT.

Prequels:

TPM VHS, TPM VHS with the motion cover, AOTC DVD (paid 50 cents in mint shape.)

Frink deserves a medal for livening threads up.

I'm stoked. I think it looks fantastic.

It's unbelievably great to have both the burned in subtitles and 97 Jabba back.

Maybe it's just me, but I just remember AN looking much different than what is presented on the Dossier.

It may have come from originally watching the vhs on a very saturated old tv.

This is fantastic.

TLD in my mind is the last great Bond film.

So this is how it will look in the amaray case?

if so that is going to take some getting used to, I have never seen DVD cases look like this.

I actually kinda like it. It reminds me of a badass cassette.

This is the address of a webpage I have did years ago that lists all of Dark Jedi's early work..... http://homepage.ntlworld.com/russdawson/gtf/dvd/OTHERS/dj.html

WOW! I knew that you had done the 97SE LD set and some others before d_j, but that's extensive!

TV's Frink said:

Hmmm, not what I was hoping for.

I'm starting to wonder if I should stick around for the end credits or leave now and beat the traffic.

You could just rant about the greatness of dts and how it completely obliterates dolby.

...if you really wanted to... :)

Wow. I didn't know that they just let it sit there for so long.

Makes me wonder what happened to the classic Bond sets at Pinewood-Ken Adam's volcano set must have been on the backlot forever.

Made fresh with binary loadlifters!

Or maybe he just went to a bank to see what reaction he'd get.

It's for the new Star Wars project:

C3P0 and the adventure of the binary loadlifters

followed soon by: C3P0 and the overweight glob of grease

then comes: C3P0 and the spice mines of Kessel

soon therafter: C3P0 and the balance of ettiquette

and then: C3P0 and the mysteries of protocol

C3P0 and the quest for a driver's licence

C3P0 and the peril of the memory wipe

C3P0 and the wrath of the Republic's welcoming committee: Episode I, a Prequel.

This set will unfortunately sell many a player.

The definition of Blu-ray is Lawrence.

Now we're having faulty SE memories! :)

Darn. I only wish these were NTSC.

Agree. Thought they were somewhere, but that was the flunk and reivax.
