Â I've got to get some money so I can afford 24:3 when it comes out... The UK release of 24: Day 3 is already out, but I'm waiting until February 2005 to get the Dutch release (the previous two are also Dutch releases, and I like some continuity).What's the fourth TV series? I see The Simpsons, Futurama and 24, but I can't identify the other one.- Marc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eplicon 14 Report post Posted August 13, 2004 This isn't a recent photo (January 2003) and was taken with a regular camera, so the resolution isn't the best, but you get the idea. My CDs have overflowed to the point where I need a secondary storage unit (the one you see is designed to hold 548 or so CDs). The CDs at the time were arranged alpha by title, but before that it was alpha by composer/alpha by title. I've since then gone back to that. The main shelf are all movie soundtracks, while on the far right, you can barely make out the misc stuff (concert works by film composers, some classical, etc.) The first title on the main shelf is The 13th Warrior and the very last is Young Sherlock Holmes. You can also make out the various Star Trek albums in there.At the top you can make out the Rhino Ben-Hur soundtrack and the Star Wars Anthology set in front of an old Superman II poster. In the mirror you see a reflection of an Audrey Hepburn poster and a different (I think European) version of the Braveheart poster. The tagline is completely different: "His passion captivated a woman. His courage inspired a nation. He heart defied a king." (Much better than the "Every man dies. Not every man really lives," eh?) Artoo is that old radio controlled toy put out by Kenner in 1979. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marian Schedenig 1629 Report post Posted August 13, 2004 You're right in the middle?I notice you also have the R1 BttF box. I really wish we could've gotten all those extras as well. I don't need no stinking DTS on an almost 20-year-old movie. Give me some extras?I like DTS, but supposedly there wasn't any audible difference for the BTTF movies...and the merits of DTS on a soundtrack that runs 4% too fast are debatable, anyway. And did you get to exchange your BttF II and III discs, or did you wait and buy the V2 boxset?I got it right when it came out, so I didn't know about the errors right away. (They're very obvious when watching the second one, BTW). It took several months, but they send me corrected replacement discs without any problems. I now have II and III both with and without errors. Marian - realising he hasn't watched II and III since he got the new discs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And more on my desk and in front of my computer (current rotation).The Goldsmith set & Young Sherlock Holmes are actually kept elsewhere, behind glass-- i took off the glass doors here for the picture, by the way.DVD's: no picture yet, but you couldn't see much-- several piles in front of one another-- the best I could do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Breathmask 392 Report post Posted August 15, 2004 If you want to check if you have the V2's, you could watch the film and look out if the framing is alright. These are some good shots to check:The red lines are the V1's.Please note: Belgium DVDs will NOT have the V2 mark on them. However, there is a way to see on the disc if it is V2 or not. If the disc is a V2, you will find "2003" below the copyright warning that's printed on the disc. If there is no year, you have the misframed discs, and you should contact Universal. For Belgium, this should be your best bet:Christine Slock Sales Support Retail Benelux Universal Pictures (Benelux) N.V.

I know this cause I just checked....sigh, I have the wrong one.
