A stunning disappointment in DVD!I have been a fan of Giant for many years, and have seen the film many times. I had looked forward to the DVD re-issue, anticipating all the benefits of DVD quality and presentation. What a disappointment this disc has been! Although the blurb for the set describes the film as being transferred from "revitalized film elements" it is, as far as I can tell, nothing more than the same video tape that was used for the laserdisc version several years ago.It is NOT a new digital transfer, and it is NOT anamorphic. Detail is appallingly bad for a DVD, color has been hyped up but surface texture is poor. Zooming the picture to fill a 16:9 screen produces picture quality hardly better than VHS. It really looks no better than the laserdisc, and it is a crime to have lavishly re-issued this set without a new anamorphic 16:9 compatible transfer. This is one for the resale bin immediately.

Negative

Is there a negative or positive tone to this product review? === Title: Great songs that "sound" poor. Review: Hear is another example of the lie we have been force fed of digital="perfect sound forever".This is an all time classic collection of one of our most important musical artists that is unfortunatly strapped with an almost unlistenable sound. Unless you are listening to it on a boom box/kmart rack system, the sound of these disks is thin, flat, one dimensional and very fatiguing (aka digititis). Its hard to beleive these were actually remastered. No wonder vinyl is making a comeback. Analog sounds like the real thing.I want to restate that I think this is a great work of art. It just could be worlds better if the recording industry gave a damn and would put some emphasis on recording sound quality. If we vote with our dollars, they will follow. Answer:
Negative

Is there a negative or positive tone to this product review? === Title: Useful gadget Review: I was looking for a way to take advantage of the summer sun and save energy without digging a permanent hole in my back yard and bought this for hanging small things out on my sunny deck. It works very well, holds a lot of socks and underwear and dish towels and I am very pleased. Two reasons I only gave it four stars: it is more rickety than I expected from other reviews, and mysteriously developed a rust spot even though we've only used it twice. Still I am very glad to have it as it is extremely light, folds up very compactly and holds a lot. Answer:
