In my STARLOG column on upcoming DVDs, I asked, "Whose idea WAS this, Ming's??"

It "gives a James Bama-like feel to every scene!" Hooray! Why would anyone want to stretch a movie to widescreen ... when it's not widescreen ...?

Awwww, don't bother me with this "fairness" jazz. I've been hearin' that all my life!

The tinting and toning isn't badly done. Got me interested enough to buy it, last year. The Flash Gordon serials are some of the few films that I wouldn't mind seeing colorized. (An unpopular opinion,...

I too have a hard time grasping why do a 1930s serial in widescreen? The double DVD edition of 1951's SCROOGE (aka A CHRISTMAS CAROL) with Alastair Sim also included a cropped widescreen version of...

Hal, I grabbed up the Image FG trilogy some time back (but certainly not at such a nice price), and don't think I'd ever seen better quality on any of them. (And some very informative liner notes, as...

Just got back from BestBuy, and now I'm off to the planet Mongo! Couldn't pass up such a deal (well, it's actually a couple bucks cheaper at DeepDiscountDVD at the moment, but who can wait for that?)!...

Glad to hear you've arrived safely on Mongo, Hal! Good way to spend some chilly afternoons or evenings during the winter weather. Wish VCI's BUCK ROGERS serial had been on a single-sided DVD, ala the...
