„Let me first say that I am a DVD snob. We rented one movie as a DVD, but the other wasn't available as a DVD so we got it in VHS. After watching it on the vcr, I am even more a DVD snob than ever. I have many vhs movies, at least 50, but probably more.“

„I know this'll come as a shock to my regular readers, but I have a problem with accepting just any old crap that comes down the pike, especially as movies go. Hey, I can't help it: I have a hard time just letting movies run rampant with my Disbelief's Suspension. On the other hand, there are some things that just defy logic, purposefully; some things are just supposed to be laughed at, and let go before they have a chance to rest firmly on your medulla oblongata.“http://www.3blackchicks.com/2002reviews/ bamsmib2.html - Cached
„Still, the version we saw was the butchered original release, which included scenes not shot by Welles and excluded about 15 minutes of his own work; in the mid-70s a longer version, the one shown at a pre-1958 preview, was released. This version, produced months after Welles had been removed from the picture, still disregarded many of his wishes, as indicated in a long memo he wrote to Universal in 1957 after seeing the studio's initial cut. Only now, following Reader critic Jonathan Rosenbaum's publication of excerpts from Welles's memo in a 1992 issue of Film Quarterly, has an attempt been made to produce a version incorporating Welles's 1957 suggestions.“http://www.chireader.com/movies/archives/1998/0998/ 09188.html - Cached
„Much of what's been called innovative in the art of movies over the past half century has at first been seen by part of the audience as boring or as representing a loss--usually because it has somehow redefined the shape and function of narrative. When Jean-Luc Godard introduced jump cuts in Breathless (1959) some viewers saw a loss in continuity; and when he got actors to spout literary quotations--which sometimes undercut the verisimilitude of his characters and plots--many thought he was opening the door to chaos. The next year Michelangelo Antonioni made the apparent heroine of L'avventura disappear about a third of the way through the picture and never explained what happened to her; the audience at Cannes, where the film premiered, responded with angry catcalls, insisting that the emperor had no clothes.“http://www.chireader.com/movies/archives/1998/0598/ 05298.html - Cached
„Netflix uses the number of movies you rented in your previous billing period to determine your priority in getting movies. The more movies you rented during your last billing cycle, the less chance you have of receiving a movie versus an individual who has rented fewer movies.“http://www.nettle.com/archives/000044.html - Cached
„One nice feature of the DVD is a hearing-impaired subtitle option. Now I'm not hearing impaired, but I found that by using the subtitles I could pick up about one-third more of the dialogue than I could get from the sound, unless I cranked the sound up loud enough to wake the dead. If I had seen "Gosford Park" in a movie theater with a good sound system I probably could have heard more of the dialogue (I have never seen the film in a theater, only on VHS and DVD).“http://www.lariat.org/atthemovies/dvd/ gosfordvd.html - Cached
