Author Topic: SW: Episode I.....my new baby Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 01-29-2011 01:49 PM                     Were you ever a member of Columbia House's LaserDisc club? I sure was! I also was a good patron of Ken Cranes' online store. I still miss that. Locally, we did have a couple stores that rented discs, and I think I was the only one who was renting them because I never ran into anyone in the "LaserDisc aisle". I do remember how awesome I felt walking out of that store with a giant 12" cover for a movie, when everyone else was carting off plastic VHS cases.

If so, I'll give you a small amount of $$$ for it + shipping. Now don't get the wrong idea... I DO NOT like the movie, it's freakin' stupid. But it does have the pod race scene and people are always telling me how wonderfully perfect the LD sounds and how completely awful (like absolute trash) the DVD sounds. I want to compare myself. If you don't want to sell it, lend it. I think the more rare something is, the more people who have it hype up the supposed quality.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 01-29-2011 05:10 PM                     Joe, it's worth it just for the sound mix alone. Just try to ignore the plot as much as possible. I kind of look at it not as a Star Wars film or a George Lucas film, but rather as an example of what Gary Rydstrom and Ben Burtt can do in a mixing room. AJG  |  IP: Logged Mark J.

Most DVDs usually don't sound as good as the same movie on LD. That is just my experience. quote: Were you ever a member of Columbia House's LaserDisc club? I sure was! In my area. We had Laserland who sold/rented lds. Jumbo Video rented them only and downtown in Toronto there was HMV/Sam The Record Man who sold them. I was a trip to rent or purchase them. To bring back memories. We have a store in Toronto called BMV books which has an isle of used lds. I have purchased "The Criterion Princess Bride, Manhatten and Baraka" recently. Like old times, it is a trip to the store to see what they have.  |  IP: Logged Tom Petrov Five Guys Lover Posts: 1121 From: El Paso, TX Registered: Jan 2003 posted 03-25-2011 12:18 AM                    I pick up "The Three Face Of Eve" *SEALED* for $5.99  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 03-29-2011 09:51 PM                        I am thinking of getting a spare, maybe even two spare LD players while I still can in the event the Pioneer I have dies, which I figure is inevitable. When that happens, it many not be easy to find a replacement. Now you can still find them boxed new.  |  IP: Logged Tom Petrov Five Guys Lover Posts: 1121 From: El Paso, TX Registered: Jan 2003 posted 03-30-2011 12:08 AM                    Hey Frank If you are interested. I have a used CLD-504 by Pioneer I am looking to get off my hands.  |  IP: Logged System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 09-10-2012 10:23 AM                 It has been 530 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged Shawn Arndt Film Handler Posts: 37 From: South Milwaukee, Wisconsin Registered: Aug 2012 posted 09-10-2012 10:23 AM                        An awesome price for that LD. Did you get the set of Widescreen promotional cards with yours? They were very cool and obviously exclusive to that pressing. I paid a little more for mine but never complained as most of the actual cost was shipping from Japan. Cheers on the score.  |  IP: Logged
