'Casablanca: 70th Anniversary Ultimate Collector's Edition' - High-Def Digest Review

[Josh Z]

Why do you want two center channels anyway?

[skycracksopen]

So audio coming out the center channel sounds like it's coming from the screen, like it's supposed to, instead of below the screen.

As you know, when you go to a movie theater, they have the center channel behind the screen shooting through it, not below the screen. But that is impossible to do with a TV, so I figure the next best thing is to have a speaker above the TV and a speaker below the TV to give the illusion that the sound is coming from the screen.

It's really not a big deal. I don't notice it 99% of the time, but I'm always trying to think of ways to make my sound system better. Being a sound engineer, I'm really picky about audio quality and speaker placement.

I am truthfully wanting better support for height speakers, and maybe take it a step futher. Like, if there are like 3 feet or more difference between two center speakers, I would like some height stuff in it. Truthfully, I like what they are doing with 9.1 and 11.1 systems, but I always felt that a ceiling and floor speaker would really help with sound imersion.

But yeah, if you add a second center, let us know how it sounds. With me, though, if I were to add additonal speakers, I would want them encoded differently to really bring out the sound imersion.

I got the box set last night. It's excellent quality. Really can't wait to see this movie again in hi def!

I need to find new local friends who appreciate cinema as much as I do. Everyone is so busy with stupid Hunger Games SH*T

???? According to Michael's review, disc one has only audio commentary and some special features 12-30 minutes each, mostly in SD. The nearly 5 hour "The Warner Bros. Story" special feature is on the 2nd BD, which isn't included in the single disc edition. Well, I have the boxed 3 disc Limited Edition on the way regardless.

Yes, it's the latest media obsession with free cross promotion of a bad movie. Same thing happened with the first Twilight. I think they finally shut up about it by the time the third movie, but why it took them that long who knows.

It says 5 hours on the sticker. I'll check into it further.

Apparently Target has a single disc exclusive with only disc 1 from this set. $14.99 as of this posting. Someone on Amazon has the nerve to list it for $49.99. Unreal.

It was $19.99 when I bought it on day of release. Do you think they'll refund me the extra $5?

Most stores usually have a price adjustment policy that lasts for 14-30 days from the date of purchase so your chances are good. Check the back of your receipt and see if the return policy is on there.

Well I went ahead and bought a new one and will return it with the old receipt.

Watched this last year. I stated it was my favorite movie of all time and I'll state it again. Just amazing. I really love this film. The transfer is really good. The facial expressions Bogart and Bergman display should be taught in acting school. Anyways, I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did...great film!

Last year? That wouldn't be this edition.

Since my HD-DVD has internal disc rot, I can't wait to get this set, once I can find it on the cheap.

It's funny, the day I get enough points on WBInsider to get the old release, they pull it. lol
