Davisdvd.com is saying goodbye
 
Patrick has a message over at davisdvd.com stating that he is not going to continue doing updates for the site.

www.davisdvd.com

I know that Patrick is a member of DVDTalk and I would like to thank him for the great website he created and mantained for many years and wish him well in all his future endeavors.

Geofferson 10-29-07 08:46 PM

It will be missed.

All the best Patrick!

EEz28 10-29-07 08:55 PM

That sucks, I really liked that site. I figured it was going to happen due to the lack of updates, but there are other priorities in life than posting dvd news.

Good Luck with everything Patrick.

Nth Power 10-29-07 09:01 PM

Sad to see the site go, but I'm glad it's because of good things happening.
Thanks!

TheNightFlier 10-29-07 09:13 PM

Definitely going to miss that site. Thanks for all the hard work Patrick.

RevKarl 10-29-07 09:17 PM

Another thanks to Patrick for all his hard work.

I guess he gave up. :SAD:

JesseCuster 10-29-07 09:20 PM

Nice site. It had the scoop on lots of DVD news over bigger sites a shocking amount of the time. Lots of obvious effort there. Thanks and good luck!

Sabrett 10-29-07 09:27 PM

Gunna miss that site - I can't wait to see what he's planning to come back with :)

chris_sc77 10-29-07 09:28 PM

Sad to see it go...Used to be such a great site.

DarthVong 10-29-07 09:29 PM

That's a shame. I always felt it was one of the few BS free DVD sites out there.

GreenVulture 10-29-07 09:30 PM

If the site comes back, I wouldn't mind it if he concentrated on the section detailing alternate cuts of movies, with visual aids. That was a great area of DavisDVD, and one I enjoyed reading, but it looks like he more or less abandoned it. :( That and the section pointing horrible and derivative coverart (another neat area).

Same here. No B.S., just straight scoop and news, 100 percent reliable.

Thanks for your efforts, Patrick!

Zen Peckinpah 10-29-07 09:59 PM

Only the best DVD news site ever! I've followed it for SIX years. Such a shame it's done now... :( At least they were the first to break the news about the new Killer SE coming soon...

Willh51 10-29-07 10:19 PM

I'll definitely miss the site, was one of my favorites.

JeffreyLebowski 10-29-07 10:57 PM

I am definitely going to miss davisdvd.com. What a great resource! I especially loved the detailed previews for animation titles. Hopefully, we'll someday see another iteration of the davisdvd model, perhaps davis-hddvd.com??? Best of luck, Patrick.

DVD Josh 10-29-07 11:18 PM

I rank Davisdvd.com as the #2 DVD site on the web next to this one. Fuck the bad news on the DVD website front just keeps coming in.

The Monkees 10-29-07 11:44 PM

That's not a surprise since they haven't updated since September 30, 2007

Mr.Briggs 10-30-07 05:46 AM

I'd been checking every day since the last update, Sep. 30th & was hoping it was just a long vacation. Really sorry to see it go. It was topnotch.

coli 10-30-07 06:24 AM

I remember the glory days of DVD when I first got a player in 1998, I would go on to DVDFile, Digitalbits, DavisDVD everyday, and there would be something new I could look forward to buying. I miss the good ol days of anticipating new titles, that would enable me to throw away those crappy VHS tapes.

TomOpus 10-30-07 06:47 AM

Wow, another cool site closes it's door. Thanks and best of luck Patrick :up:

speedy1961 10-30-07 07:03 AM

Best of luck to you Patrick Mirza!

I wish you well in whatever endeavor you to choose to tackle next.

islandclaws 10-30-07 11:05 AM

DavisDVD was always one of my favorite go-to sites on the net for news. If I didn't have this site I don't know where else I'd go. Thanks for the good work you did.

Joel Goodsen 10-30-07 11:11 AM

DavisDVD will definately be missed. All the best.

milo bloom 10-30-07 11:41 AM

The site will be missed, good to hear that RL is going well for you!

Well, remember it has been 10 years for many of us. I still haven't visited HTF and it has been months. Sometimes I'm just not interested.

I've tried to generate some enthusiasm in the Movie Talk section and it has been tough. People are becoming increasingly apathetic. I blame internet porn. :)

Sorry to see the demise of Davisdvd.com.

animatedude 10-30-07 12:03 PM

good things never last.all the best.

The Bus 10-30-07 12:03 PM

First DVD Journal and now Davis DVD. :(

I've only discovered Davisdvd last year around the same time as DVDactive and i always thought DVDactive had much better news and releases. But yeah it sucks that it's gone for now.

tylergfoster 10-30-07 01:22 PM

DavisDVD was the first DVD website I found and Patrick was always cool enough to print my scoops when I had them. It is doubly sad that this happens on the same day that the guy from film ick says he's been feeling the same fatigue, although at least he isn't done, yet.

Rammsteinfan 10-30-07 10:22 PM

I was wondering why it wasnt being updated. Used to be one of my favs. Good luck Patrick!

petroc 10-30-07 11:31 PM

Sad to hear your site is going away. I will be looking for that new project you have in mind.

gotrice487 10-31-07 01:50 AM

Thank you very much Patrick for all your hard work! Your website was such a huge help in our hobby and it will be missed dearly!

Tarantino 10-31-07 02:27 AM

I could see it coming with the lack of updates...but that's where I went for visual representation of what was coming out week after week. I hate to see it go!

= J

ds6161 10-31-07 10:47 AM

Darn it... thats my #1 site for release date week by week. All the others always miss something. Not davisdvd.com.

thankz for the great work.

Sorry to see him go. I just hope that DVD Beaver stay around!

Feathers McGraw 10-31-07 02:01 PM

Davisdvd dies, and yet digitalbits continues on.

Why does the universe mock me so?
