didnt know who Treat Williams was in 98?? his career was already done!! check him out in Hair and Prince of the City... Prince was his greatest achievment...well Hair too.....

he's done some horrible bad guy roles since then.....

really enjoyed watching the Believers last night - Martin Sheen,Jimmy Smits,Ray Loggia

weird, I was looking at that Red Planet BluRay for $5 in interest this week-end, but I didn't get it. I can't recall if I saw it or not, liked it or not.
At IRON MAN 3 I saw previews for season 3 of FALLING SKIES. I never heard of it. I just finished Season 1 today, and starting season 2 of it...it's really good. Very intriguing.

The only movie I'd seen him in before Deep Rising would have been The Devil's Own, but he looked like an unknown in '98. Looking at his profile, he never made it big.

Pioneer S104.

i was watching "errand of mercy" (darn you, klingon kor)

Culpepper Cattle Company on DVD. Very unromantic but enjoyable western.

I've been a huge Iron Man fan since the mid 70's.

Iron Man (Blu) tonight.
Iron Man 2 (Blu) planned for tomorrow.
Iron Man 3 (DBox) planned for Friday.

Tried watching my copy of Jumanji, whoa! Not even watchable, heavy rot. Played the DVD instead.

Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory last night on Blu-Ray. Have seen this film 100s of times over the years and still absolutely love it. So much better then the sterile artificial Tim Burton remake.

The picture quality was outstanding too. Sharp, vibrant, colorful and heaps of detail with a nice fine layer of grain.

It's just that tunnel scene that creeps me out, especially as a kid's movie.

Haha I love that scene! Have so ever since I was a kid. Its so graphic and violent for a family/kid's film sure, but it works within context of Wonka's world. The dialog in that scene was brilliant and Gene Wilder delivered it perfectly. Its also one of the few moments thats faithful to the novel where Burton's remake wasn't. For the most part though Burton's remake overall was more faithful to the novel but not in this case.

I've heard rumors that the scene was complete on the first take and the crew/cast had thought Wilder had gone insane with the way he was talking..

Superman: The Movie (1978) [12030 A/B]

released 1990.

Sorry for the triple post above guys. Mods, feel free to delete 2 of the 3. I didn't mean it post the same post 3 times.

Let's see, where to start. I've seen Star Trek Into Darkness twice, once in standard digital and once in Imax 3D. Other than that, not too much. Mission Impossible 3, Jane Eyre, and a lot of That 70s Show.

Cloud Atlas, totally not what I thought this would be. Disappointed to say the least.

Bought Les Misérables that won Oscar for best Dolby mix only dtsHDMA 7.1 so I hope it has lots of human dialouge panning? The motion of the bluray on the TV flat screen in the shops window looked sick I mean it was bad it looked like cheap TV show filmed at 60 HFR or what ever it is they now use? Well I won't have this nonsense on my Sony CRT when I get around to listening to later on, maybe a midnight show I'll see?

I'm currently watching the MCA DiscoVision releases of The World At War on my EAD TheaterVision.

Last night I watched the 3D Blu-ray of Jurassic Park (wonderful conversion!) and while its new 7.1 mix is good, I'm so thrilled it has the original theatrical 5.1 DTS mix which the standard Blu-ray and DVD do not. The 3D Blu-ray is the first time the original theatrical mix has been available since the DTS LaserDisc release. I thought the DTS LaserDisc was great sounding, but the lossless mix sounds much better and has less high end harshness that plagued the DTS mix both theatrically and the LD. Obviously the APT-X100 theatrical codec and the 1.2Mbps DTS Coherent Acoustics system bring out some kind of harshness that's not as audible in the original lossless mix - I'll have to listen to the DTS-MA Core soundtrack to see if the higher bitrate Coherent Acoustics sound has the harshness or not. The original 5.1 mix was done completely digitally and mastered to the DA-88 8mm videotape format - the DTS theatrical APT-X100 CD-ROM's were made from the DA-88 master tape - well, a clone of it - as was the DTS LaserDisc (which is why the .1LFE and surrounds are at the wrong levels on the LaserDisc.).

If you have a 3D BD player and 3D TV, get the 3D Jurassic Park because it looks and sounds incredible and finally has the original soundtrack.
