For a while now I've been kicking around the idea of picking up Hollow Man in Superbit as a video reference disk. Not long ago I saw several scenes from it on a professionally calibrated Sony FPJ (unfortunately I don't remember the model number) on a 100" or so screen at Bill Cushman's (the Widescreen Review writer) home. It was simply stunning. Period. It gave me a new appreciation of what a truly well-calibrated system with a high quality DVD can look like. Since then I've re-calibrated my Pioneer Elite RPTV with Digital Video Essentials and been very pleased with the results and wanted to check it against what I saw at Bill's that day.
To make a long story short, I went looking for the HM Superbit and had no luck at all at any of the B&M stores in the area. Best Buy has even flagged it as "deleted" in their computer inventory. I finally was able to get it through an online retailer. So if you are considering this DVD, you might want to get your copy fairly promptly - it may not be available later. This is just a personal observation ya'll. I don't have any firm info on it being OOP or anything.
