"Restraint-of-trade," I call it. So until Netflix or other video stores (ARE there any other video stores left? My little one here in Jackson Heights is alive but struggling mightily) get the titles in stock -- months and months later -- I'll have to miss 'em I guess. <br /><br />I agree with you re On-Demand, I can't even get my wide-screen TV (using both the TV's own remote, and Time Warner's) to open up and zoom the picture to fill the screen -- which, in any case, would lessen the detail and sharpness. But sometimes I relent and rent anyway. Just watched IN THE LOOP for the second time, and enjoyed it even more because I could occasionally track back and get a line of that funny/nasty dialog I'd missed. And it's not that "gorgeously" visual a movie, so the difference between TV and DVD is less noticeable, I suspect.TrustMovieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01130460547029155342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481549185308465110.post-58931837443464420562009-08-03T10:11:36.489-04:002009-08-03T10:11:36.489-04:00Blockbuster has it available on their Exclusive li...Blockbuster has it available on their Exclusive line, the IFC releases only for rent from them. That's where I catch most of the films that have been On Demand. I've tried watching them ON Demand and for whatever reason, Cox doesn't offer them in HD or Widescreen, so the image is smaller than usual. Doesthis happen to you? A big disappointment. So I just wait for DVD.GHJ -https://www.blogger.com/profile/12235068406016194156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481549185308465110.post-12759029136370821932009-08-02T22:52:14.880-04:002009-08-02T22:52:14.880-04:00Glenn-- did you see it On-Demand or is it out on D...Glenn-- did you see it On-Demand or is it out on DVD by now? And yes, those failures of state-run institutions do add up. I try to piece together from Korean movies just what is going on (or not) in the society. While South Korea is probably preferable to the North, I have to say I am not overly impressed...TrustMovieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01130460547029155342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481549185308465110.post-38830029227705742812009-08-02T13:06:46.641-04:002009-08-02T13:06:46.641-04:00Jim- Just watched Chaser, and wow, it was intense....Jim- Just watched Chaser, and wow, it was intense. Incredibly cynical and yet not, a ton to admire with this one. Maybe the most heinous serial killer of the modern age, aided by the failures of every state run institution. Ripe for analysis. Thanks for recommending it.GHJ -https://www.blogger.com/profile/12235068406016194156noreply@blogger.com
