Blu-Rays Sought

  • Bourne Trilogy (scheduled for 1/27/2009)
  • King Kong (2005 remake scheduled for 1/20/2009)
  • Lucas - Star Wars, Indiana Jones (original trilogy), Back to the Future

    I have already purchased some 80 blu-ray high-def videos and despite my poor vision, I can readily see the high-definition difference between upconverted dvds and 1080P blu-ray full HD...now if there were just an easy way to bypass the DVD previews, plus it'd be really nice not to have to wait 30 to 90 seconds for a security check on a blu-ray startup. Thinking about it though, in the 50's and 60's we had to wait 30 to 90 seconds for the TV tube to warm up...

    DVD

    Looney Tunes golden collection - Keep up the good work and keep them coming! Having acquired the first 6, these are my most favorite cartoons. I look forward to #7, expected possibly October 2009.

    I am also looking for commercial dvd versions of the following 8 bombs, not so popular, and unpopular movies.

  • Air Up There - 1994 (African basketball)
  • Chained Heat - 1983 (a classic, corny women in prison movie)
  • Dungeonmaster, The - 1985 (the mishmash of 6 directors writing 6 chapters for one film)
  • Dudes - 1987 (New York punks become cowboys?)
  • Futureworld - 1976 (actually available as an Amazon unbox download which I do not want)
  • Howard the Duck - 1986 (an alien duck?)
  • On Wings of Eagles - 1986 (TV two part mini-series)
  • Stagecoach - 1966 (1966 remake - worst of the Stagecoach remakes; personally, I really liked it)

    A Few Good Links

  • IMDB - Still a great movie and film reference site (despite the fact Amazon acquired it)

  • Travel Photos and Videos from the Intrepid Berkeley Explorer

  • A painting contractor

  • A computer users group.

  • Some useful electronic buying guides can be found at the Best Buy website.
