I have called about a half dozen mail order stores.  Only two claim to
have seen the disc.  The others swore it had not been released because
their orders had not arrived!  Image must have pressed an incredibly
small number (maybe 100 :-).  They would be crazy not to press more.

I sometimes wonder if the executives in charge of these decisions
ever read movie reviews.  This is a disc that received a ***1/2
rating by Maltin.  And it is science fiction (a big favorite of LD
fanatics).  And yet Image has released hundreds of poorly rated or
totally unknown films to LD (and now they fill the cut-out bins).

Tonight I caught part of a show "NEXT STEP Episode 12" on the DISCOVERY
Channel.  The last part of the show was an informational piece
about THX sound systems for home video.  All of the video was shown on
projection screens which had a wide aspect ratio. Apparently these
demo systems were set up at George Lucas' SKYWALKER RANCH.  At two spots
near the end they showed clips from CASABLANCA on the big, wide
screen.  Aspect ratio 2.1:1 (I measured it)    !!!!!!!!!

I think the faddish nature of widescreen/letterboxing has gotten
out of hand.  Is this what we will get to see on widescreen HDTV?
I find it hard to believe that the folks at Lucasfilm, Skywalker,
and THX knew what was being done on this TV program.  

Just when we had colorizing laid to rest and pan&scan beating a
hasty retreat...

Unfortunately (I guess) it looks like the title really is THE SWORD AND
THE ROSE.  The same title is used two different places in the brochure
"Image New Releases #59" and the description matches Maltin:

"At the royal court of Henry VIII, the King's word is law! And the King
has decreed that his sister, Princess Mary Tudor, should wed the
elderly Louis XII of France.  But Mary falls in love with dashing
Charles Brandon, an ambitious young man bound for America."
Starring Richard Todd and Glynis Johns.  Directed by Ken Annakin.

That's all I know.  I've not seen the movie.

I see more and more of what I call "scrolling white lines" on many of 
the laserdiscs I rent, and have gone through a couple of exchanges of
"Terminator" WS and "2001" WS to get "clean" copies.  With rental LDs,
I have just assumed that many of them have just been abused (finger-
prints, little scratches, etc), but with the "brand new" LDs I'm 
beginning to wonder whether my CLD-3080 is a bit out of whack, and
thus more susceptible to such discs than other players might be.  I
have discs that have no scrolling white lines; until Fantasia and
Clockwork Orange (both CLV), I did not have any.

Did I just pick two discs that leave something to be desired in terms
of overall mastering quality (I recall that there are no such lines
in "Apocalypse Now", for example, nor on any of the CAV disks I've
viewed)?  (By "two discs", I am referring to "Terminator" and "2001";
I have yet to receive good copies of either of these.  "2001" scrolling
white lines seemed to have appeared in different places (maybe one
was in the same place, out of approx a handful per side 1/2) on the two
different sets I've examined).

They are fast.  Discs usually go out soon after arrival (or as fast as
the elves at S&S can pack them).  The main delay is shipping time:
about 2 days by UPS ground to Ohio.  Your own experience will depend
on where you are moving...

Bob Niland commented on JatA, so I'll handle Spartacus.

The movie (Sides 1 through 4) is in CLV.  Digital audio handles the movie
soundtrack, Analog 1 and Analog 2 have some fascinating commentary from the 
various principals on the making of the film.  Sides 5 and 6 are in CAV and
contain supplementary info.  The transfer is terrific, given the treatment
Universal gave the film over the years (not too good.)

Hi,

I am looking for a ceiling mountable, large screen projection tv system. I'd
like to know the best value available (in your opinion). I purchased a Kloss
Novabeam 10-ft model about 6 years ago. The picture quality was so-so, but
I assume technology has advanced since those days. Any videophiles out there?
If you could suggest a few models within the working-man's budget, I'd appre-

Thanks,

Laser Disc Companion is quite useful and used to be the only book
available devoted to LD reviews (it is a compilation of most of the
reviews which have previously appeared in LDN).

Today I discovered another book:

THE LASERDISC FILM GUIDE by Jeff Rovin.  St. Martin's Press, NY.
Publication date is given as 'February 1993' but I bought one in a
bookstore today.  List is $16.

It covers about 300 discs -mostly the top ones and a few classic
"turkeys."  The reviews look very thorough.  I haven't had time to
compare them to my own experiences or to other reviews.

Oops! I didn't see the earlier post about Deliverance ... I am a bit slow in
reading my messages which have been stored for 5 days.

A couple of people were asking about Tom Jones, pressed by Warner Brothers.
The quality of this disc is in my opinion poor, but that is most likely
because of the original print--some of the scenes which take place at night
were barely watchable. The "letterboxing" is no big deal, it isn't an
anamorphic movie. My copy had laser lock at the end of the one of the sides,
similar to JFK which I complained about here many weeks ago. The sound in Tom
Jones is "Dolby stereo" in the credits, and Chase Surround Stereo on the
jacket. It also isn't worth getting excited about. This version of the film,
by the way, is not the original, it's one which director Tony Richardson
edited for re-release a couple of years ago.

I have no standard to compare with, having never seen the film theatrically.
But I've never met a Panavision film that didn't suffer on video.
The opening & closing credits are letterboxed at about a 2.15:1 ratio.

The price has recently been reduced to $25.  That may mean they are
clearing stock to make way for its eventual remastering in letterboxed
form.  If you like the movie, you might consider picking it up at this
price.  It's remastering could take a month or years.  I've heard 
nothing definitive about Warner's plans for this title.

I would assume that this is the same world tour from which "Ciao, Italia"

I bought a Sony MDP 333 from Macy's and have been pretty happy
with it.

But comments here have led me to believe that I could get
better picture quality from a 'higher end' player.

Anyone comments on whether I should upgrade? Please no
discussions of the flavor on rec.audio where people
can hear the amount of oxygen in audio cables ! :-)

Assuming I should upgrade, please recommend a reputable
mail order house that takes plastic, preferably AMEX.
