DVDs You Just Gotta Have!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Muffit]

Hi all! Well, barely a year after requesting it, Disney's epic space adventure The Black Hole has just been rereleased on DVD - and they did it WONDERFULLY this time!

For those of you in the know, the first DVD just didn't do justice to this eye feast. It was letterbox (not adjustablE to widescreen TVs) and basically mono. Bad transfer too, lots of graininess. But DIsney 2004 to the rescue!!!!! The new version is AWESOME. Dolby DIgital sound, true anamorphic widescreen, and the most beautiful transfer I've yet seen for a 25 year old DVD - they MUST have remastered it. The video is FLAWLESS. You just GOTTA have this. The meteor storm is to DIE for.

And even more spectacular -- AT LONG LAST STAR TREK TOS SEASON ONE IS BEING RELEASED AS A BOX SET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Huzzah!!!!!!!!!!! No more piecemeal (and expensive) one ep at a time purchases. And redone in Dolby to boot! I ALMOST spent $1500 for the VHS box set back in the 80's -- lucky for me I got my Roland synth instead!!! Now I can get a DVD BOX set for only $80!!!

You just GOTTA have these folks. 2004 is a wonderful year, it really is!

Muffit -

Did the new DVD of The Black Hole come out last Tuesday or is it coming out tomorrow? I resisted going to Best Buy and went to Lowe's instead to fix my wounded weed-eater......

If it is out or going to be out - I know what I'm gonna buy.....!

Best,
Bryan

Hi Gemini! Oh yes, highly yep!!! It's out now! I ordered mine from Amazon on Friday, and sink me with a chicken it arrived today!!!

I couldn't resist opening it and trying it out! Absolutely gorgeous video! Dolby 5.1!! Anamorphic!! Just to see the opening green 3d black hole was worth it! (which was quite a feat back then).

Don't resist! Take us out Mr, Pizer!!! Maximillian plugged himself into 220 and I can't do a THING with him!!! :laugh:

hubby sent for the V tv series dvd set. He and I both like it. I got the original miniseries and want to get The final Battle to complete the set. He might even be thinking of buying the Star Wars set too!
