Fortunately 'region free' has been a prerequiste for every DVD player I've ever bought. Indeed my DVD collection is about 20% R1. I gave up on the R2 B5 when season 3 was several months behind R1. Haven't regretted the move, only wish I'd bought only R1 since S1 had that problem with And the...

I've been a registered user of IMDB for years (since 98 as I recall) and in all that time they have not sent me as much as a single unsolicited e-mail (I was for a short period of time a subscriber to one of their mailing lists). They also don't ask for any other info beyond a valid e-mail...

Luhrman's Alexander movie is 'on hold' and may be scrapped entierly. According to the IMDB "Project continues to be developed, but it's unsure whether this will be Luhrmann's next picture." Given that they haven't even gotten into pre prodcution I'd say that there is little chance of seeing this...

On the subject fo the Farscape set, yes that is the official packaging as has been pointed out, but please, Ric, don't let that stop you from making a custom set for it. In addition to Farscapes packaging taking way to much shelf space (10 standard DVD cases per season) in two of the seasons...

Yes, that was my immediate impression. Whatever it is it is a DONE DEAL and will go ahead. It's waiting for the right time to be announced. Nothing new here except some additional reassurance that the project is still going forward. If this turns out to be a TV deal (movie or mini series) we...

Greenlit? Might it be a feature film, sure. In fact I find that to be the most likely scenario (although it's by no means certain). However it's worth keeping in mind that while the contracts for some movies are negotiated in the media, most are not. And JMS has (to my recollection) never...

Re: What about Direct to DVD? You are absolutely on the money (so to speak) there Joe. A B5 movie could undoubtedly be produced for $50 million, after all, no big name stars are needed. And if we look at the numbers a bit further we can see that IF a B5 movie were to be successful (doing...

Now what is the point of being a fan if you can't speculate?

That's a little different. Farscape got a bad deal from Sci-Fi. I wouldn't be too surprised to learn that the Jim Henson company is shouldering a big chunk of the expense of making a Farscape mini series in order to be able to sell a 'finished' product into syndication once Sci-Fi´s contract...

The wording of that 'article' strongly indicates a feature film. I've said before that of all possible B5 projects, a feature film made the most sense to me. If it was a TV movie or mini series, the first rumors we´d hear would likely be about the channel that was going to air it.

I very much agree. While the speculations in this thread are fun, we should definately ignore any stories about this subject until we get formal word from JMS. Given that he does take care to let us fans know the moment he can go public it makes not sense to jump at unconfirmed news. Just be...

I agree. In fact when you think about it a movie about the Telepath War makes a good deal of business sense. Being a movie Warner doesn't need to worry about distribution and the recent DVD sales have probably convinced them that a modestly budgeted movie would do alright. Also the TW...

Re: What\'s up with no B5 on Sci-fi Channel? Just an offhand guess here, but with the start of TV fall season, I'm guessing Sci-Fi feels that they don't stand much of a chance with it's regular programming. So they aren't bothering. The marathons are a stunt to draw people in that get bored...

I wouldn't worry too much if there are no visible scratches. I've gotten loose disks on any number of occasions. Never been damaged enough to cause playback problems.

Just a little something to give you an idea about how a S4: purple, S5: red might look.

It's worth looking at the collection as it is now: Purple would fit in. As would gold (yellow). Possibly a darker red then S1 (thus calling S1 orange). Black wouldn't work, nor would silver. My guess: Purple followed by dark red.

I don't think you need to worry too much about how future proof your DVD collection is. The red laser system is almost certain to win out simply BECAUSE of it's backwards compatibility. The only hope the blue laster systems have to combat that is to introduce systems with dual lasers (one new...

Re: Top 10 Selling DVD\'s (B5 Season 3 @ #8!) I imagine that alot of people feel it long enough as it is and don't really care about all the extra extras (as it were). Others simply want to own both the theatrical version and the extended version. And then there are those that simply can't...

Season 4 is being released in widescreen in region 2. Can't imagine why they wouldn't release it in widescreen in region 1 when the time comes. I belive it was the first season to be shot in widescreen so there is nothing to complain about (except maybe that they didn't have the forsight to...

Re: JMS at the ComicCom(Sat)..some BIG (vague) new My thoughts exactly. The DVDs have reminded WB of this franchise and confirmed that it is still very much alive. Yet it seems very unlikely that any TV station would be interested in a spin-off after Crusade and Legend of the Rangers. A...
