In Polish only, has film notes with each title, if you can speak the lingo or use a Polish-English dictionary (cast & credits variably at IMDb). Specialty Dealers: Note, all of these companies' products can be gotten thru Movies Unlimited, Facets or certain other dealers, but at about $5 higher price. Sinister Cinema - http://www.sinistercinema.com/ Classic-era horror & sci-fi, mystery, action, adventure, jungle, exploitation and, lately, westerns. Some 1960s & 1970s horror & krimi. Much PD mastered from 16mm/35mm, also sole licensed agents for some copyright material, and a couple of restorations or initial releases on their own. Something Weird Video http://www.somethingweird.com/ gone more & more to post-code porn (soft to XXX), but original library of code-decades roadshow exploiters not found at Sinister Cinema, and sword-and-sandal. Discount Video/Hollywood's Attic http://www.hollywoodsattic.com/ ENORMOUS flea-market of older films, foreign & domestic, on video. All genres. Have the only known copy available of Eisenstein's original THUNDER OVER MEXICO & don't even have it in the catalogue. Discounts available if you buy from them regularly over catalogue prices. Write for catalogue as only a portion of their stuff is online. Foreign-language films in the USA on VHS, and sometimes DVD. Mostly, these dealers' products are unsubtitled, but represent the only versions available in the US of majority of their titles: USSR/RUSSIA - http://www.top1video.com/ from Stalin to the present. Film lists in Russian (cyrillic alphabet) so know the Russian titles & have your transliteration tables handy. NB also: many Soviet films revised in 1960s to tone down Stalinism, and these are usually sources used here. Many titles mastered off TV also: fun Russian commercials included! HUNGARY - http://www.net.hu/evd/ films from 30s to present, music & other original videos. Only few titles online; write for catalog & have your Hungarian-English dictionary handy. FRANCE - http://www.francevision.com/ 30s to present, some with subtitles. Rentals too. Website in English. ARMENIAN - http://www.narek.com/ a few film titles and original videos/music videos. Website in English. YIDDISH/HEBREW/JUDAICA http://www.jewishvideo.com/ (retailer) or http://www.brandeis.edu/jewishfilm (archive which has certain titles mastered on video and will customake a copy for you on request). Site in English INDIA - http://www.bollywoodarts.com/ thousands of titles, also soundtrack CDS, 30s to present. Titles only, no descriptive material, but in roman alphabet. Mostly in Hindi only, also Urdu, Gujrati & Punjabi; a few with subtitles. POLISH - http://www.mailordercentral.com/polart/departments.asp 1930s to present, maybe half of inventory subtitled (sometimes rather amateurishly, but if you don't understand Polish...). EAST GERMANY - http://www.icestorm-video.com/ Selection of films from late 40s to fall of the wall, varied genres & styles, mostly subtitled. No new titles added for over a year. MEXICAN/SPANISH LANGUAGE - http://www.lagunafilms.com/ (mostly newer films, titles given on line) and http://www.agrasfilms.com/ (many 30s-40s-50s, but you must order a print catalog). Have dealt with all these people & can vouch for their honesty. Prints are not as pristine as major commercial companies, but are all good-verygood & are, most of all, the ONLY sources for the titles they carry: it's either these or die without! Have a few more folks who mailorder only, domestic material mostly (or with UK), and will have to dig out catalogs & send later.

Two additions to these excellent links:
1. http://www.dvdpricesearch.com/cgi-bin/dvdhtml2 Cooter-3 : Fri Jan 4 09:54:27 2002 Here's a web site that lets you compare prices at various outlets. DeepDiscounts does indeed have the best prices but only because they don't charge for shipping within the U.S.. However, I doubt that they would ship merchandise to Europe for free so you'll have to take that into account.
There is a similar site for the U.K.: http://www.dvdpricecheck.co.uk/ You can search there for DVDs from several regions, including US DVDs. And this site calculates also the shipping from the US to the UK (e.g. for amazon.com) One hint for the other Europeans: several companies offer free deliver to European countries, including http://www.dvdboxoffice.com/ (region 1) and http://www.playserver2.com/ (region 1 and region 2, but only to selected European counties). 2. Leonard Maltin just opened his own homepage: http://www.leonardmaltin.com/ Sadly there aren't his reviews available (as known from the IMDb until they replaced them with the senseless amazon.com reviews), but at least you can find some interesting articles and Maltin's reviews to the latest releases in cinema and on DVD... I'm a miserable, grumpy elitist. And that works for me!

[ NEWS: Hollywood Studios Unveil Web Movie Site : www.movielink.com ]

by ACT1 (Mon Nov 11 2002 02:57:04 )
Ignore this User Report Abuse

Hollywood Studios Unveil Web Movie Site http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20021111/wr_nm/media_movielink_dc LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Five top Hollywood studios opened online box office Movielink http://www.movielink.com/ on Monday in their first, tentative step to sell blockbuster films like "Ocean's Eleven" on the Web after years of fretting over the copyright piracy now threatening the music business. For years the studios have grappled with exactly how and when to sell movies on demand via the Internet in what they see as a lucrative, new market for their libraries of movies. Movies on DVD have been a major contributor to studios profits since their launch five years ago, ringing up total sales of $4.6 billion in 2001. Industry watchers believe Web-based video on demand can be even bigger. But even Movielink chief Jim Ramo said those kinds of sales are far on the horizon. Movielink's aim is to prove a market exists, test prices, learn about users and, importantly, send the pirates sailing into the Internet sunset, he said. "We think we are early enough in the cultural usage of movies on the Web, that we are able to make the pirates, deviants," he told Reuters in a recent interview. Movielink lifts the curtain on its service with the backing of Warner Bros., Paramount Pictures, Universal Studios, Sony Pictures Entertainment and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc. At its launch, Movielink is offering 170 titles from Oscar winners like 2001's "A Beautiful Mind" to the classic "Breakfast at Tiffany's." In between, are action films such as "Air Force One," kids flicks like "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" and comedies such as "Men In Black." Prices will range from around $1.99 for older titles to about $4.95 for recent releases, and the service comes with VCR-like functions such as pause, rewind and fast-forward. The movies are downloaded onto a computer hard drive, where they reside for 30 days, without being played, before being deleted. Movielink users must have high-speed Web connections, otherwise the time to download is prohibitive, Ramo said. Once a film is started, viewers have 24 hours to watch the full movie before it is deleted, which is among the built-in protections to keep users from posting films on file-sharing Web sites where they can be swapped for free. Such peer-to-peer swap sites have clobbered the music industry and led to declining sales of CDs. The movie studios want to ensure the same thing doesn't happen to them. Ramo said market tests of one major market could be travelers who download movies onto a laptop computer to watch while on the road or to set up for their kids in the backseats of cars. College students with high-speed Internet connections, too, are expected to be a core, early audience. Ramo said more than 25 U.S. million homes now have broadband connections, representing a sizable potential market. Movielink competes with CinemaNow, the only other movie download site to license films from Hollywood studios. It is backed by film company Lions Gate Entertainment, Microsoft Corp. and Blockbuster Inc.. CinemaNow Chief Curt Marvis said his site gets about 50,000 users a day, or 1.5 million a month, but most are downloading movie trailers and other free clips. CinemaNow converts about 1 percent of those people to paying customers, he said. Marvis is not worried about competition, especially this early in the evolution of movies on the Web. "One reason we are excited about Movielink is we think they have great potential to increase visibility" of watching movies online, he said. Like Ramo, Marvis said the market is still in extremely early stages and mass market potential -- in which movies are downloaded via the Internet then watched on television sets -- is likely three or more years on the horizon. "We think 2002 is ground zero, but the reality is by 2005 this will be commonplace," he said. He said CinemaNow expects to show profits in early 2004. Ramo declined to comment on projected profits or on the amount of funding the studios are putting into Movielink. Warner Bros. is a unit of AOL Time Warner Inc., Paramount is part of Viacom Inc., Universal Studios is a unit of Vivendi Universal, Sony Pictures Entertainment is the movie division of Sony Corp and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc. is its own public company backed by billionaire investor Kirk Kerkorian. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.google.com/search?q=Movielink http://directory.google.com/Top/Arts/Movies/ ------------------ ACT1

Dear Yahoo! How can you kill a pop-up window that refuses to close? Wednesday, November 27, 2002 http://ask.yahoo.com/ask/20021127.html Dear Gloria: Those insidious pop-ups are designed to replicate every time you try to kill them, like some hideous alien virus. Short of closing your browser window, your best bet is to download an application that will nip them in the bud. As a quick browse through the Advertisement Filters Category in the Yahoo! Directory will attest, anti-pop-up programs are a regular cottage industry. http://dir.yahoo.com/Business_and_Economy/Shopping_and_Services/Communication_and_Information_Management/Internet_and_World_Wide_Web/Software/Blocking_and_Filtering/Advertisement_Filters/ These programs have the added benefit of speeding up your browsing, since you don't have to download cumbersome graphics from the advertisements.

It's totally anonymous, meaning that I, nor nobody else, will be able to tell how anyone voted, or even who voted.

Or, if you prefer, you can comment on this thread about the poll. Or you can forget you ever saw this and go about the day. It is a private poll, meaning that only the people who have access to the link provided can participate in the poll. If you vote more than once, your previous vote will be canceled out and the most current one accepted. Please skip any question you don't choose to answer. Your other votes will still be recorded. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.misterpoll.com/685603928.html Mikeys Poll sirarthurstreebgreebling II : Wed Jul 3, 2002 Mikey and his V Plates Give your answers to the questions on our V plates king ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.misterpoll.com/2186661982.html I got bored so I made a poll. bender420_jerm : Fri Jul 5, 2002 http://boards.imdb.com/oldboards/showpost.pl?Cat=&Board=Sand&Number=1440979 Of course, it's not half as creative as sirauthor's Mikey poll.

How can I detect spyware on my computer? Penny Sioux City, Iowa Dear Penny: Generally speaking, spyware http://searchcio.techtarget.com/sDefinition/0,,sid19_gci214518,00.html refers to any computer program that gathers information about a person without his or her knowledge. Spyware programs can track your Internet page views, allow someone else to read your email, and even record your keyboard strokes. They are obviously cause for alarm. The Yahoo! Spyware and Adware Category http://dir.yahoo.com/Computers_and_Internet/Internet/Issues/Privacy/Spyware_and_Adware/ features several resources, such as 2-Spyware.Com http://www.2-spyware.com/ and SpyChecker.Com http://www.spychecker.com/ which offer information about the most common spyware programs, as well as anti-spyware downloads. Spyware Watch http://www.spyware.co.uk/remove.shtml offers a general tutorial on detecting and removing spyware programs. With new spyware legislation http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/zd/20040405/tc_zd/123591 pending in Congress, the issue has become a hot topic http://news.search.yahoo.com/search/news/?p=Spyware&t=spyware in the press. A word to the wise: Check your cookies http://dir.yahoo.com/Computers_and_Internet/Internet/World_Wide_Web/Cookies/ avoid suspicious downloads http://www.simplythebest.net/info/spyware.html and in a work environment treat your emails like postcards. For details on how Yahoo! protects the information of its users, refer to the Privacy Policy http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy/us/my/ which is linked at the bottom of every Yahoo! page. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.google.com/search?q=spyware - Results: about 3,520,000 pages http://news.google.com/news?q=spyware - News http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Security/Internet/Privacy/Products_and_Tools/Spyware_Eliminators/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- ACT1 www.actwon.com/imdb

Writers Wrules 1. Verbs HAS to agree with their subjects. 2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with. 3. And don't start a sentence with a conjunction. 4. It is wrong to ever split an infinitive. 5. Avoid clichés like the plague. (They're old hat.) 6. Also, always avoid annoying alliteration. 7. Be more or less specific. 8. Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are (usually) unnecessary. 9. Also too, never, ever use repetitive redundancies. 10. No sentence fragments. 11. Contractions aren't necessary and shouldn't be used. 12. Foreign words and phrases are not apropos. 13. Do not be redundant; do not use more words than necessary; it's highly superfluous. 14. One should NEVER generalize. 15. Comparisons are as bad as clichés. 16. Don't use no double negatives. 17. Eschew ampersands & abbreviations, etc. 18. One-word sentences? Eliminate. 19. Analogies in writing are like feathers on a snake. 20. The passive voice is to be ignored. 21. Eliminate commas, that are, not necessary. Parenthetical words however should be enclosed in commas. 22. Never use a big word when substituting a diminutive one would suffice. 23. Kill all exclamation points!!! 24. Use words correctly, irregardless of how others use them. 25. Understatement is always the absolute best way to put forth earth-shaking ideas. 26. Use the apostrophe in it's proper place and omit it when its not needed. 27. Eliminate quotations. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "I hate quotations. Tell me what you know." 28. If you've heard it once, you've heard it a thousand times Resist hyperbole; not one writer in a million can use it correctly. 29. Puns are for children, not groan readers. 30. Go around the barn at high noon to avoid colloquialisms. 31. Even IF a mixed metaphor sings, it should be derailed. 32. Who needs rhetorical questions? 33. Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement. 34. Avoid "buzz-words"; such integrated transitional scenarios complicate simplistic matters. 35. Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.

How can I get my photograph to you once I have your e-mail address? You can attach your photographs to e-mail or direct me to a site that already has your photograph such as Yahoo Photos. What format of photograph do you prefer? I have no preference. How many photographs can I have in a Hall of Fame? I think a max of 4 photographs per Hall of Fame is fare. I already have 4 photographs in Hall of Fame#. Can I have more photos in the next Hall of Fame? You can have 4 new photos in each Hall Can I have a photo of my cat in your miscellaneous section even though I don’t have a photo of myself in any Hall? No. You must have at least one photograph of yourself in one of the Halls before you can have a photo included in the miscellaneous section Does the size of the photo matter? Should I compress the photo for you? The size of the photo is unimportant as I always crop if cropping is necessary, reduce the physical size of the photo and use JPEG compression to reduce the file size to about 30 – 40k Why do you compress the photos? Many people are still on a Dial-Up Internet connection and if I didn’t compress the files they would wait forever for photos to download. I’m sure compression will degrade the original photo. Is this correct? Compression does degrade the photo but it’s hardly noticeable. I usually sharpen any photos I receive and as a result the compressed photo often looks clearer than the original. Why do you limit each Hall to 50 photos when a hall could hold many hundreds of photographs? Many hundreds of photos in each Hall of Fame would also mean many hundreds of thumbnails. it would take forever for Mr Dial-Up to download all the thumbnails. Some users send you very poor quality photographs, why do you upload them? Some users have Digital cameras and good quality scanners but some do not. I assume that the person sending me a poor quality photo has done the best they can. I see no point in requesting a better photo. Why did you upload the robot photo sent to you by ACT1 and yet you have refused to upload alternative images of other users? ACT1 is the 1 exception to the rule. Do you remove photographs of users who have been banned from the IMDb? Not usually If I no longer wish my photo to be included in a Hall of Fame will you remove it? Possibly. Removing photos is a pain in the ___ and with this in mind I would suggest to anyone thinking about sending me their photo for inclusion in a Hall of Fame to think carefully before they do send it. When do you add photographs to a Hall of Fame once you receive them? It depends on how busy I am. Usually the same day. When do you remove photographs if requested to do so? If I do decide to remove a photo it could possibly be the same day. Why do you change the first letter of a user name to uppercase? act1 to Act1 as an example Photographs are displayed in alphabetic order and to achieve this the first letter of a user name must be a capital letter otherwise the prog places all lower case names last on the list. How many photographs can your site hold? Will you run out of space soon? With the web space I have at the time of writing I have space for about 35 Halls each holding 50 photographs. I have a nude photograph, which I would like included in a Hall of Fame. Will you include it? No Note from ACT1: Dave sends me PMS when he updates his pages - so I will update My UserName list ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Please award me some courtesy Dave-708 Tue Nov 4 2003 When people ask me to upload media to my site I do so as quickly and efficiently as I can. All that I ask is that those people who were so eager for me to do something for them award me the courtesy of a PM or an Email when they change their name or decide to remove their accounts. I do not for one second consider my request to be unreasonable. Do you? Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How to record and send me a voice recording. Dave-708 Sun Jan 11 2004 The easiest way to make a recording is using Sound Recorder on Windows. Things to check first. Make sure your microphone is selected as the sauce. Do this… 1…Double click on the Volume control on the task bar (Tiny speaker) 2…Select Options then Properties 3…In the properties window select Recording and make sure the Microphone is one of the sources ticked, if it isn’t then tick it. 4…Once you did all this hit ok You will now see a new window with rows of slider volume controls. Make sure you have the Microphone ticked and the slider is about half way up. Once this is done you can go to your windows sound recorder and record your voice then save it. Play it back and listen. If it’s too quiet or too loud simply adjust the slider volume control as described above. Things to note Many mail servers limit the file size you can attach to an e-mail. Usually about 1Meg. If your recording is larger than 1 meg try sending it to me anyway. If they don’t let you send it simply make the recording shorter in length. You may find that with the shorter length you didn’t have time to say everything you wanted to say, in this event you can simply send me two or more recordings and I’ll bolt them altogether for you. Hope you found the above to be of use.

New URL style rdw - Administrator http://www.imdb.com/user/ur0756485/boards/profile/ Thu Aug 28 06:25:05 http://www.imdb.com/board/bd0000040/thread/2985767 Board: IMDb Information We've just made some changes to the title and name page urls. Previously, title page urls looked like /Title?0110912 and they now look more like /title/tt0110912/. Name pages are even more different, in that they no longer look like /Name?Chan,+Jackie but more like /name/nm0000329/. IMDbPro.com users will already be familiar with this new style - as will many boards users. Old style urls are (and will continue to be) automatically redirected to the new style. There are quite a few sections of the site still using the old style urls, but we'll be sorting that out in the near future. Please let me know if you see anything broken. -- Don't blame me, I only work here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Re: New URL style Thu Aug 28 08:07:08 The title numbers are the same - but they need to be prefixed with tt, and be exactly the right length (7 digits, 9 characters in total), or it's not going to work. It's also quite important to end the url with a '/', we'll redirect links with a missing trailing /, but if you are updating things, it's worth getting it right. It's needed because many of the links on the page are now relative, rather than absolute. -- Don't blame me, I only work here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- ACT1 www.actwon.com/imdb

Birdie! : Sat Mar 17, 2001 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject Incidentally and no offense, but you might want to think about changing your subject line. When you put such an explicit, narrow description in as your subject, like the one you wrote, you'll only get responses from those people who know the answer. If you were to change it to something like "Movie Title" or "Help me" then you'll also get lots of other responses from people who don't know or aren't interested in your question. And though I had a Ken Burns question elsewhere on this thread, I forgot to ask this... didn't he also make a couple other documentaries called Baseball and Jazz? Anyone know what they were about? roarshock : Sat Mar 17, 2001 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- who was the cannibal in "hannibal"? anne 83 : Sun Mar 25, 2001 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Does anyone remember who the host of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" was?

[ Soulkool pays kids to promote movies on Message Boards ]

Undercover Marketing Uncovered http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/10/23/60minutes/main579657.shtml as seen on TV CBS "60 Minutes" Oct 26 2003 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0123338/ David Elias, CEO of a marketing company called "Soulkool," http://www.soulkool.com/ He's the man to go to if you want to influence the choices of that fickle, unpredictable 20-something demographic. This is not the old theory. This is the new way of doing it. The clutter in the marketplace, people feeling like they're marketed to all the time, that kind of message for this demographic doesn't work, says Elias. It really, they're not interested. They want to know about it from a friend of theirs that's in the know, that keeps up with the trends. And that way it's very subtle. Subtle is Elias' weapon of choice. On the day 60 Minutes visited, Soulkool operatives were going undercover on the Internet, promoting the movie "Cowboy Bebop" an animated feature. Soulkool employees, all of them barely in their 20s, boost the promotion by flooding Internet chat rooms and message boards with rave reviews for the movie. Soulkool does not mention any professional affiliation, so the kids who read their messages have no idea they're talking to a paid marketer, hired to plug the movie. And it's not just Soulkool employees who are doing the plugging. There's Lucas Schlager, a 13-year-old Cowboy Bebop fanatic, one of 350 volunteers across the country enlisted by Soulkool to hype the movie in exchange for T-shirts and posters. From the comfort of his Long Island bedroom, Lucas spends hours in chat rooms, typing and hyping away. Thirteen different chats and four message boards, multiple postings. And I would just, you know, completely tell everything about this movie. And just get people to go see it, says Schlager. Lucas sometimes mentions Soulkool in his chats, but often he doesn't. The other person has no idea he's dealing with a marketer. Well, in this case, I don't really consider this person a marketer. I consider this person...a fan of the project that he's interested in, says Elias. And these people are passionate and excited about telling their friends about the movies. There is more to read about other Undercover Marketing ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cowboy Bebop (1998) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0213338/ Cowboy Bebop Tengoku no tobira (2001) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0275277/ http://directory.google.com/Top/Arts/Movies/Chats_and_Forums/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- ACT1 www.actwon.com/imdb

[ Dave's Place – Voice Recordings ]

Dave’s Place – Voice Recordings DavesPlace Sun Feb 27 2005 http://www.imdb.com/board/bd0000044/thread/16182583 Some of you may recall that I used to have a section on my website for IMDb members voice recordings, which were removed some time ago because of hassles with my ISP and my allotted web space. IMDbers could record a message and send it to me just as they do with photos. The one problem I always had was that of web space or the lack of, so the recordings were usually short and heavily compressed to the MP3 format. Having recently purchased a large amount of ad-free webspace I am now in a position to re-upload the voice recordings I already have and invite other IMDbers to send me their recorded message if they so wish. Within reason I impose no limit on the file size and/or duration of your recorded message. How do I record my message? by far the simplest way is to use Sound Recorder, which can be found on all Windows operating systems. Obviously you should make sure your microphone is selected as your source device. Once you are happy with your recording you then send me a PM here at IMDb or at Dave’s Place Message Board for my email address then attach your audio file as an attachment in the normal way. Have a nice day.
