What was your first digital home movie?

first laserdisc I ever saw was a flyover demo of some sort on my neighbors new laserdisc player.  First rented/watched movie at home was Raiders of the Lost Ark on VHS....

Yep, I have a copy of that sucktacular version of that movie.  Not only was the transfer bad, but they pillarboxed it too (black bars on top, bottom, left and right) for some reason.  I think they were compensating for overscan, but they way overcompensated.

The new "Final Cut" transfer is pretty amazing.  They cleaned up all versions of the film (US original, International Original, directors cut, and new "final" cut, as well as the workprint that's only been shown in a few theaters) and it looks outstanding.  Theres also a BD and HD-DVD version that I've not seen.

Yeah, they still make a lot of new releases on em and they are making a cult comeback. I've gotten about 30, just starting to buy em. Lucky for me, there is a great vinyl shop right behind my work that has techno, house, trance, hardcore, all kinds. And Half Price Books is on my way home if I want to go get some 80's rock or old 78's.

Now if only I had an iVinyl

We're talking about laserdiscs, not vinyl albums.

I know but his line was:

I guess you mean it was supposed to be something like:

And what I can relate with is (and what I thought you were saying that some people have):

Nevermind, Chad. The moments over for me, you've shoved a coat hanger in the catacombs of another post.
