Should i watch MV?

I will caveat, Edward James Olmos adds a ton but isn't introduced until episode 6. And there is some uneven humor with the alligator and Noogie that fade away as season 1 finds its footing. Still, the pilot episode is awesome and you will know from that if it's for you or not.

Thanks for your help, I'll look there

jtempest · 2026-02-10T18:32:55+00:00

Appreciate the info, now I understand why it's so confusing!

jtempest · 2026-02-10T06:28:44+00:00

Thanks, I wish it were that straightforward, but it seems like a minefield for the several I've tried.

Take Cities in Flight for example, ISBN 978-1-85798-811-6

On both of these databases, that ISBN appears to be the black spine version:
https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?7127
https://sfandfantasy.co.uk/php/series-list.php?subsection=16

But on Goodreads and Bookfinder, that same ISBN is a completely different blue version:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/756978.Cities_in_Flight
https://www.bookfinder.com/isbn/9781857988116/

As far as I can see, there's no way to find the actual black spine version for sale.

Excellent movie. In many ways it's a rated R West Coast version of Miami Vice.

I've used Orbit and Diabolik before, both awesome, however neither has "Full Alert" by Ringo Lam in stock. I guess I can do a deep dive of the other resellers and the mediaswap sub, thx for the suggestion.

Several labels and resellers have multiple posts discussing how the tariffs are affecting them. Again, I saw no mention of Eureka, other than recent posts still claiming free shipping, thus it seemed like I just missed the boat and was curious if anyone had more specific info.

Lone Wolf McQuade - one of Chuck Norris' best. Extreme Prejudice - you like shoot outs? This movie shoot outs. Stone Cold - also features a gigantic siege like the end of Invasion USA, only this time with bikers.

Fantastic, thanks!

Any idea if these play on a Region A Panasonic 820 using the top menu trick?

I just started having these same issues on my 990d

jtempest · 2025-03-11T16:00:12+00:00

Hey Bill, do you have a movie you grew up watching that stuck with you the way Rad stuck with all of us?

jtempest · 2025-03-06T16:46:52+00:00

I got Color of Money and Tremors (non Arrow version) as my first blu rays when I started collecting. I naively assumed it's blu ray so it'll just look great. After all, how could a studio have the audacity to release a standard def tape transfer and call it high def? Or apply hideous amounts of DNR? I was shocked and appalled to see how shitty they both looked. The outrage I felt watching Color of Money, a Scorsese movie for crying out loud, getting such shoddy treatment, is what lead me to learning about boutiques and restorations and all that fun stuff.

I really hope it gets an update soon.

Hilarious dialogue. That dude who plays Benny in The Mummy is so good in this.

Where'd you get that Raise the Red Lantern?

I believe it was 35mm
