DVD anyone?
I was wondering how many of you already own a DVD player? Or plan to get one?
I've had mine for a few months now and I love it. I buy a new DVD almost every two weeks. Great stuff.

"Some people have pointed out to me that Revenge of the Cybermen aired in 1975, not '74... but I reckon it was shot in 74, so that's alright..."
"That shows a worryingly in-depth knowledge of Dr. Who..."

As DVD conversions go, Fallen is one of the best.
While the film is still great, people were expecting the DVD to be STUFFED full of bells and whistles... and it just wasn;t...

Fallen? Doesn't ring a bell....
But without the extra's it's less fun.
I'm waiting for the European release of Ben-Hur, I heard the new release is excellent. It's on there with it's original 65mm width. It's never been aired or put on video like that, let alone shown in non 65 or 70mm theatres. And.... lots of goodies.

Heck- that second comment ofmine was meant to be about the Matrix! THAT was the disappointing DVD.
The Fallen is a good one, nice presentration It;s a demonic horror thing with Denzel Washington, classy stuff..

I didn't like the Matrix much anyway, but the DVD was a bit disappointing indeed.

It's true. Loved the effects, but the story was such a rip-off of.... well... just about everything. Quite embarrassing.

Suddenly Ushgarak is sucked into the 'Paradox' zone, where no decision makes sense...
'Queeq is my mentor, yet he does not like the Matrix... how can this be!? Matrix... no... more.. derivative... than... Star ... Wars... actually... much... less...'
Aarrrgghhh!

I'll send you my analysis yet. You will turn and see the truth of it. The key word is CLICHE!
Except for the effects of course.

Sorry, my man, but you're just out of touch, unlike the makers...
You can have your opinion, but you WILL be burnt alive for it around here...

I doubt it. Some even agree with me.
I can go through it step by step, I can tell you exactly what they copied from what film. I varies from single lines, entire scenes to even the very story concept. Nothing is original, except for the effects and the design.

I told you, you're out of touch... they did it on purpose, and that's why we all liked it...
