With the quick acceptance of DVD by both videophiles and the general consuming public, Laserdisc has fallen by the wayside and it finally on its "death bed" as a viable video format. However, some still have very large Laserdisc collections that may soon be unplayable as production of new Laserdisc players has almost all but stopped. In an ironic twist of fate, recordable DVD may have just arrived on the scene just in time to give Laserdisc owners a means of preserving Laserdisc content. ...

The LA Times's Joseph Menn has a great, well-researched feature article on the history of the copyright for the image of Mickey Mouse as portrayed in the earliest Disney cartoons -- and the theory that Disney made mistakes early on with its copyright registration, placing images of that specific Mickey (not the Mickey we know today) in the public domain. Prominent legal scholars like Peter Jaszi agree, but who will shell out the millions in legal fees to prove it? After all, the company's already threatened legal action against law-students who publish papers investigating the question! Brown went searching for flawed formalities -- and found one. It was on the title card at the beginning of a "Steamboat Willie" cartoon that had just been rereleased on a 1993 Laserdisc honoring Mickey's 65th birthday. It said in full: "Disney Cartoons Present A Mickey Mouse Sound Cartoon Steamboat Willie A Walt Disney Comic By Ub Iwerks Recorded by Cinephone Powers System Copyright MCMXXIX." [...] The authoritative legal treatise "Nimmer on Copyright" says that a copyright is void if multiple names create uncertainty, and courts have agreed. In 1961, a federal judge in Massachusetts cited the "accompanied by" rule in throwing out a copyright claim by newspaper cartoonist Art Moger. Moger's name was included in the title above his panels, but the name of another artist ran inside the boxes. Disney's rights to young Mickey Mouse may be wrong (Thanks ...

THE MOVIE: 4 stars out of 5 Top Gun, directed by Tony Scott and produced by Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer debuted n theaters in 1986. The films stars Tom Cruise as a Navy fighter pilot sent to the Navy's prestigious "Top Gun" school to complete against other pilots to see who can become "The Best of the Best". Co-starriing Val Kilmer, Anthony Edwards and the steamy Kelliy McGillis, Top Gun is an action packed film full of some great mid air battle screens with the obligatory love affair between Mr. Cruise and Ms. McGillis. At this point, do I need to go into any further detail on the plot? I didn't think so as I believe we all know about this film. This is one of those films that became home Theater demo material and is one that I still have on VHS(somewhere), Laserdisc and DVD. How does it look and sound in high definition? THE VIDEO: 4 1/3 stars out of 5. Back in September, I reviewed the HD DVD release of Top Gun. The Blu-Ray release appears to have used the same master used for that release and looks identical to the HD DVD release. As I noted in my review of the HD DVD release, this is an excellent looking transfer even though it does not appear that a major restoration was done in preparation for its release in high definition. The transfer boasts excellent color reproduction, accurate skin tones and rich deep blacks that makes for a very pleasing visual experience. The clarity of the image is for the most part outstanding g ... Source: hometheatermag.com --- 33 days ago
Although I don’t usually pay attention to such things, the other day as I was opening a recent Blu-ray purchase, I took note of the “Compatible with PlayStation 3” sticker that either the studio or the retailer had attached to the shrink wrap. It was trivial, hardly worth glancing at, but it got me thinking about how closely the Blu-ray format is tied to Sony’s multipurpose game console. Of course, I seem to recall similar stickers about the PlayStation 2 appearing on early DVD releases, but the situation is very different now. DVD’s benefits over its VHS and Laserdisc predecessors were so obvious that the format achieved explosive growth, and its success was never dependent on just one playback machine. Certainly, the PS2 brought DVD into a lot of homes very quickly, but standalone players and computer drives were equally (and soon more) popular with the public. Everyone wanted DVD, whether they wanted a game console to go with it or not. ... Source: www.scifijapan.com --- 13 days ago

Hammer Films' Stop-Motion Animation Classic Finally Released Uncut and in Widescreen on DVD Author: Loren Portillo Special Thanks to Jim Danforth Cover art the "Sci-Fi Double Feature" MOON ZERO TWO /WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH. © 2008 Warner Bros. Home Video Warner Bros. Home Video's latest wave of Best Buy exclusive "Sci-Fi Double Feature" DVDs includes the stop-motion animation favorite WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH paired with MOON ZERO TWO. This set has caught the attention of monster movie enthusiasts because it finally presents WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH uncut and in widescreen— unlike the earlier VHS and Laserdisc versions from several years ago. The suggested retail price for the DVD is $19.98. Released in 1970 by Hammer Films and Warner Bros., WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH is supposedly a direct sequel to Ray Harryhausen's 1966 version of ONE MILLION YEARS B.C. starring Raquel Welch, but I view it more like a remake with a few new twists. Cavewoman Sanna (1968 Playboy Playmate of the Year Victoria Vetri) is being sacrificed by the Rock Tribe to their sun god for being of fair skin and blonde hair. She able to escape during a fearsome storm and is later saved by Tara (Robin Hawdon), a fisherman from another hostile tribe. The two fall in love, which angers Tara's dangerous brunette ...

The LAT has a fascinating story today about Gregory S. Brown, a 51-year-old former Disney researcher who's lived in the same one-bedroom apartment in Hollywood for the last 20 years. Brown had once tried and failed to take over Harvey Comics. In doing his research, he discovered an old Ghostbusters lawsuit in which an overlooked copyright claim had allowed Fatso, Casper's sidekick and a dead-ringer for the movie's logo, to lapse into the public domain. Armed with his new knowledge of such loopholes, he returned to the Disney vaults to find similar cases. A failure to renew the copyright on the 1933 Mickey Mouse cartoon The Mad Doctor led to a business selling knockoff cels from that film. Disney sued him, and won a $500,000 settlement. Now something of an early-animation copyright expert, Brown went back to the stacks to research his defense; it was then that he learned something truly astonishing: Thanks to some shoddy legalese, just about anyone could move Disney's cheese . It was on the title card at the beginning of a "Steamboat Willie" cartoon that had just been re-released on a 1993 Laserdisc honoring Mickey's 65th birthday. It said in full: "Disney Cartoons Present A Mickey Mouse Sound Cartoon Steamboat Willie A Walt Disney Comic by Ub Iwerks Recorded by Cinephone Powers System Copyright MCMXXIX." For Brown, it was as if the glass slipper fit him perfectly. The key was location of the word "copyright" in relation to the name "W ...
Filed under: Analysis / Opinion , Humor Christina Warren. Erica Sadun. Two Women. Two Opinions. One love of all things Macintosh. This week, we take on iTunes rentals. Are they the next best thing or a waste of your money? We'll start the discussion and you judge the smackdown winner for the week. Erica: Totally hot! No commitment, less than it would cost in gas, time and popcorn at the local second-run theater. Plus (bonus!) no used bubblegum under the seats. Why wait weeks for Netflix? You can watch on demand for three or four bucks with at most an hour or two of download time. Plus there's that 99-cent special each week. Sure, I'd prefer the rental to go for 48 hours instead of 24, but it's really convenient to watch movies that I'd otherwise never get around to seeing. Rock on, iTunes Rentals. Christina: Erica, you ignorant slut! Hey, I'm always up for new ways to watch movies, but the only real reason I can see renting from iTunes is laziness or random 3 AM rental attacks. And I haven't had random, "Ooh, I want to watch Fletch at 3 AM on a weeknight" moment since college. Weeks for Netflix? More like a couple of days -- I often get my queue replenished in 24 hours. And then I can bask in the joy of extra features, like director commentary, surround-sound, and if it's an older film, I can make sure I'm getting the latest/digitally restored print and not some digital export of a 10-year old print that was just cheap Laserdisc ...
DVD Talk Collector Series After my lukewarm review of the film of Patriot Games (1992) and singularly negative reaction to Paramount Home Entertainment's eye-straining, DNR-ridden video transfer, I wasn't holding out much hope for The Hunt for Red October (1990), Patriot Games ' big screen precursor. Both movies received the same kind of mixed reviews when they were new, but with 15+ years of hindsight they're now a world apart. Though I remember catching Patriot Games at a mid-week matinee, I may only have seen The Hunt for Red October on Laserdisc. I thought it was just okay at the time but on Blu-ray disc I sat there pretty much flabbergasted by how good just about every facet of this picture is, especially compared to Patriot Games , which makes all sorts of clunky, dramatically unsound mistakes telling its story.

Filed under: Columns , 400 Screens, 400 Blows A couple of weeks ago I was in Safeway and I spotted a cheap DVD, a double-bill of The Fugitive (1993) and U.S. Marshals (1998), and I impulsively bought it. I already owned The Fugitive on Laserdisc (that old thing) and had seen it many times, but I hadn't ever seen U.S. Marshals . I know it's supposed to be awful, but the cast of Tommy Lee Jones, Robert Downey Jr. and Wesley Snipes suddenly appealed to me. I decided to re-watch The Fugitive before I settled down to the sequel. I liked it as much as ever; it's a rare example of everything in the Hollywood machine coming together in the right way at the right time and working perfectly. But this time, something new struck me. Last week I wrote a defense of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (184 screens), which I determined has been judged more by its hype than by the actual content of the film. But I didn't get much of a chance to talk about the film's star, Harrison Ford , who is an integral part of the film's success. I'll be the first to admit that Ford is an exceedingly limited actor. One of his failings is his seeming lack of humor and spontaneity in certain roles, exacerbated by the fact that, in person, he comes across just as humorless (though it could be that he merely mistrusts journalists). But ironically, one of his best attributes he shares with the comic actor Jackie Chan: a reluctance to enter into the ...
