Re: What movie just doesn't click for you, even though it should?

Re: What movie just doesn't click for you, even though it should?

Re: The "Perfect" movie ...what's yours?

I've always been on the fence with Quentin Tarantino in Pulp Fiction. If I saw the movie not knowing who Quentin Tarantino was, would his presence still seem awkward?

Re: The survival and revival of video stores and physical media

The only justification of 4:3 full screen would be if the film (or TV show) was originally shown in that aspect ratio or you might want to watch the film in open matte which provides extra, if...

Re: Best Buy to furlough 51,000 hourly employees

Re: Best Buy to furlough 51,000 hourly employees

Re: Blu-ray and DVD sales - We're number 2, but we try harder

Just wait until the advertisers start having a greater influence on the content shown (a'la network TV) and we're back to where we started with "Edited For Television" versions of your favorite movie.

Re: How do tariffs affect ordering movies from other countries?

Just speculating but it may have had to do with the item being sent via UPS Courier who often charge a flat-rate brokerage fee of, say, $30 + whatever the tariff is. If the item was sent via Canada...

Re: How do tariffs affect ordering movies from other countries?
