On the plus, side the audio track is in Dolby 2.0 :rolleyes:
They cut maybe six seconds of W/K nortiness. My then-gf was upset because she’s a shipper and I was upset because I find the idea of censoring DVD collections distasteful.
As do I. Lemme pop that ep into the DVD player…
'kay… I don’t notice anything missing, but then I wasn’t timing it when I saw it back when. But hell, love the Andrew/bringer scene.
Yes, thanks. “WHAT THE FUCK does W/K mean?” I think was the question…
Willow/Kennedy
Ah, no big loss then. 
W/X shipper
Perhaps you could replace them with Disney. Disney has released volume 1 and 2 of Duck Tales. Volume 1 even goes so far as to boast “Episodes 1-27” on its cover. But they aren’t the first 27 episodes of the series, just random episodes from the first 64. That’s bordering on evil.
It looks like I’ll be happy with the Addams Family. I hope to not be pissed off with The Tick, although they will be out of order.
According to Whedonesque, the Willow/Kennedy scene wasn’t really cut, but a lot of the DVDs went out with a flaw that caused them to skip the scene. It’s on my copy…
Ah, thank you. That answers my “What the fuck is she talking about?” Mine plays fine, all intact.
Has anyone seen the recent digital remastered James Bond re-releases? Are they much better than the old DVDs?
My husband bought “the Ultimate Collection” remastered DVDS about a fortnight ago, and having now watched the first three of them on our home theatre set I can say that the improvement is totally kick-ass.
I’m not personally a Bond fan, but the quality difference between the non-remastered Movie Trailers on the Extras disks, and the remastered DVD movies themselves is extraordinary. Quite aside from everything just being cleaner and sharper, the skin tones are substantially improved and more natural looking.
I don’t know how obvious it would be on TV, though I’d assume it’d still be quite noticeably improved - but I can attest that on a projector screen the difference is massive.
What I can’t stand is the spotty quality on these sets. I have two unwatchable Buffy episodes because the video suddenly starts pixelating (for want of a better word) and the audio becomes all garbled. (Of course, it has to be in the middle of an emotional scene with Angel.)
I’m currently watching S.2 of Grey’s Anatomy and I have the same issue. 4/5 through the most compelling moment of the entire damn series (when bomb squad dude Kyle Chandler blows himself into a pink mist) it starts pixelating. It continues into the next episode.
Argh!
Ach, I was afraid of that. Now that I’ve finally* gone ahead and bought most of the Bonds worth owning, it looks like I’ll have to buy them all over again. This sort of devious machination bears all the markings of being a SMERSH operation… or perhaps SPECTRE.
- After a few early purchases, I dragged my feet with most of the other titles, anticipating and hoping for just such a digital remaster job. But they sure took their time, didn’t they? So I went ahead and bought a couple more… and then a few more… and now I’m royally screwed by the system. Again. Bond may get to play the field with a virtually unlimited expense account, but the series’ fans do not.
I loved Kill Bill. I’d love to own both of 'em.
However, they still haven’t released a combination DVD of both volumes. I just know that the day after I break down and buy both of them, separately, they’ll release the combined DVD- probably with bonus stuff, so I’ll have to buy that version. Screw it.
