    Scanners

    I bought this the other day for 10 bucks at best buy, and being a MGM title didn't expect much.
    I enjoy Michael Ironside and Cronenberg so 10 buck is a small investment. (Patrick McGoohan is also good in this)
    I was surprised!
    The transfer is actually quite good, it's anamorphic, the colors are well saturated and accurate. The image is sharp, and grain is low.
    The soundtrack is Mono, and while it is clear, it is also somewhat compressed...not bad, but not real good either.
    All in all easily worth 10 dollars...

      It certainly is,Kenny. I have it on tape and will pick up the dvd if the price is decent in this neck of the woods.

          MGM...wake up
          by KennyG
          That's it, I've bought my last classic MGM title.
          The other day I bought one of Burt Lancaster's best performances, "Elmer Gantry".
          It's about many things...a snake of a man who do anything to survive, he has no respect for himself or anyone else. It's about a woman who truly...

          Has Sony Bought Mgm ?
          by George Bellefontaine
          There was a piece on CNN Money regarding this. It said that Sony and partners had reached an agreement with MGM regarding the purchase. The figure touted was $5B. Just hope if they bring some unreleased titles to dvd that they do a better job on transfers than MGM has done.

          Anamorphic vs. Non-Anamorphic
          by Sonnie Parker
          Since I'm just getting my new Toshiba Widescreen RPTV in I've been trying to understand a little more about Anamorphic and Non-Anamorphic DVD's.

          Basically I know Anamorphic is better, but why?

          I happen to be looking at 2 DVD's that are not on the Anamorphic database at...

          Anamorphic Lens on Projectors?
          by Chris D
          I'm wondering what experience anyone has had using anamorphic lenses to change a 4:3 native resolution projector into one that naturally shows 16:9 widescreen, utilizing FULL vertical resolution. George, I know you specifically use your NEC PJ, which is native 4:3, but do you use an anamorphic lens?...

          MGM's recent batch of Westerns
          by George Bellefontaine
          The titles I'm referring to are The Big Country, Vera Cruz, The Hallelujah Trail, etc. The latter was the first one I played and much to my dismay, it turned out to be nonanamorphic. Yukkk. Good ol' MGM inconsistency.
