Dvd Quotations | Page 2

Everything from cars to DVD players to fruits and vegetables are cheaper and better because of the free flow of trade with other nations.

Everyone who watched 101 Reasons Not to be a Pro Wrestler loved watching New Jack. They loved what he said; his personality and everybody said he stole the show. So I wanted to make a DVD just about him, his character, his career and his life. The result is amazing; it's probably the best DVD I've ever made.

At this point in time, I see direct-to-consumer digital downloads of DVD titles as being a nice, incremental market for studios. It will not be a wholesale substitution of the retail channel.

At this point in our national rollout, we are making our TV/DVD viewing systems and monthly educational DVD magazines available to hospitals that have multiple viewing locations. We have the opportunity to impact thousands of patients a day in each subscribing hospital location. As our overall viewership increases in these hospitals, it gives us a greater impact in terms of scoring higher advertising rates.

Don't miss out on your Minority Report. Buy it now on DVD and video.

Customers will never walk into a Starbucks and feel like it has been turned into a music store or a DVD store. Coffee is essential and it is our core. It is our passion that is ultimately at the heart of everything we do.

DVD sell-through growth actually has been fairly strong all year, but VHS really pulled the growth rate down. Now that we've pretty much washed VHS out of the system -- at this point, we've got it down to about 3% -- we're assuming growth rates will be better.

DVD sales are already hurting and this is not going to help spur sales.

DVD is not good. It isn't secure, the capacity is too low, the bit rate is too low.

DVD is comprising the lion's share of our rental business.

DVD is both a curse and a blessing. It's a blessing because it's this great new revenue stream for Hollywood. It also increases movie viewing because it's so convenient and collectable. But there is the perception that it is cannibalizing theatrical business to an extent,

DVD Confidential: Hundreds of Hidden Easter Eggs Revealed.

There's no way to know based on that release how it stacks up against anything, which is I'm sure why they put it out the way they did and refuse to break out any numbers for DVD versus videogame, or U.S. Sales versus selected international territories, ... That leaves no possible way to create an apples-to-apples comparison.

I started collecting baseball cards and basketball cards when I was younger. I have a CD collection that turned into a DVD collection, and I have a Jordan shoe collection. And I don't drink, but I have a wine collection. I just started a sweatshirt collection. Every city that I'm in, I buy a sweatshirt. It's just something that I do.

I've been waiting for a project that grabbed my attention and this is it. The DVD will reflect the attitude and passion that I put into the way I played tennis.

Sales were particularly strong in those categories that were expanded following last year's exit from the appliance business and which seasonally peak in December, ... These categories include video game hardware, software and accessories; digital cameras; personal computer software and accessories; and DVD software." ()

Saying yes to a pirate DVD is also saying yes to crime on your streets,

People grab the paper, tear the DVD off and throw away the paper. They've got to learn. That's got to stop.

The movie got great reviews, then it got six nominations. That drove DVD sales through the roof, and it landed the big award (best actor for Foxx). That was really the perfect storm for Ray .

A couple of years ago we were hearing from studios that maybe we should wait on high-definition DVD because we didn't want to hurt (regular) DVD. There is a unanimity that the time for high-definition DVD is now.

Now it's all about the word of mouth, and watching a series on Netflix. That's the way people actually consume this stuff now, instead of waiting for a DVD release you're not really sure you want to buy. And I think it's fantastic, because then I can watch the shows that I missed, over a weekend. I love doing that.

The money's just coming in a different part of the release model since most of it's from DVD sales. This is still going to be one of the three biggest years in box office receipts, and by the way, they're bringing in $20 billion more in DVD revenue. So the studios are still getting their money. It's the exhibitors who have a concern.

Anybody who hears the word about the movie, ... should talk to their pastor and ask to do it at their church. If they have a DVD player and a screen, they can do it. There is curriculum that can be downloaded from the website that pastors can give to their people for studies and outreaches to their community. Everything is there. We just need to get the word out.

As a leader in home entertainment and a pioneer in DVD technology, we are very excited to introduce our first HD DVD players for U.S. consumers. With the support of some of the hottest films, we can confidently say that Toshiba's HD DVD players will come to market with important industry backing in time to meet the HDTV transition.

A whole lot of innocuous material. This is the ideal DVD for the shut-in, and the socially maladjusted. If your mother is your best friend, this is the DVD for you.

You're not going to make any money stealing a DVD player. There are scrap-metal places all over any metropolitan area, and they don't ask a lot of questions.

This is an important product development for a couple of reasons. First of all, the chip will help manufacturers reduce costs by integrating various functions into one chip and eliminating the need for various components. And second, the chips can be embedded into many different kinds of consumer electronic products, such as DVD players, thus eliminating the need for a separate IPTV receiver.

The way we see it, the DVD rental service was simply the missing piece for our customers, ... We were already selling DVDs, DVD players and recorders.

A lot of people compare me to Moses Malone. Somebody actually sent me a DVD of him. I didn't get a chance to watch him in his career. I was probably a little baby or not even born. But I got a chance to watch him (on DVD).

A major component to the success of HD DVD will be a strong presence and understanding by our key retail business partners, who's role will be critical to consumer adoption. With our strategic, integrated marketing initiative and the support of our many promotional and retail partners, we are poised to lead the way into consumers' homes with a next generation of DVD technology.

A manufacturer doesn't have to build a managed copy maker into their device. It is certainly possible to still build players that look just like DVD players, where you put a disc in the slot, it plays that disc, and you're good to go.

They only thing we've received is a DVD that basically shows her in training. She's hitting the bags and sparring a little bit. We can't tell a whole lot from watching that, but we did see a couple of things.

It's an underground DVD, but it just happens to be the hottest- selling DVD on eBay. The T-shirts are selling like pancakes. Stop Snitching T-shirts are everywhere.

It's more difficult to get the DVD in Scotland than anywhere else and this is a Scottish film made in Edinburgh.

For everybody who does what I do, you hope you have life beyond network television, and DVD provides that. It's television's equivalent of immortality: You get to stay on retail shelves and in home libraries.

It still seems unbelievable to me. I'll watch the DVD of Game 7 and it gets in the final minute and I start yelling at the screen: 'What are you doing? Get the puck out!' And then I have to remind myself, 'Wait, it's OK, we win.'

It's like setting up a DVD player. It's super simple.

It's good that we can focus exclusively on DVD this fourth quarter.

It's pretty clear they can't sustain where they've been. But the underpinnings for strong video and DVD sales are there and they've had a phenomenal run. The question is are they able to transition from these to other titles or will they have a few years where they revert to the mean.

It's pretty small compared to, say, DVD player penetration.

Consumers are more likely to buy a second television or DVD player for the bedroom or perhaps a second MP3 player for the gym bag.

Consumer income remains very strong and now there are bargain prices for a lot of new products that are just coming out to the market, big new computers, new DVD audio equipment,

Everyone in the world is picking Reese Witherspoon but me. I'm betting on the last-movie-seen theory. When there are upsets at the Oscars, they tend to be obscure movies that were probably the last DVD screener on the Academy's stack.

The biggest thing driving the DVD market is not watching it, but owning it. There's a study that found an overwhelming amount of people buy full series, but have yet to open them or to take the cellophane off. The satisfaction is in owning them.

Studios are learning that they can tap into their film libraries and reap some pretty strong profits. The DVD is where studios can have more consistent success with older audiences since there is the nostalgia factor.

It occurred to me last year that we were coming up on a 10-year anniversary, and I thought, I've been meaning to do a special edition DVD for some years anyway, what better time to do that,

It's very important as digital develops to keep the (retail) relationship together. Wal-Mart has a very big DVD business, and anything they do on the digital side they need to do with an eye toward their DVD business, and we need to be there with them .

It will be playing open-ended to see what kind of box office it generates. But, you know, it's been on DVD for a while.

It will be a while before the high-definition video hardware is out there, and if Microsoft does well with the Xbox 360, there could be a lot of HD DVD players being sold.

They decided to go both ways. While it wasn't the happiest news I've ever heard, it's not really going to make change on how HD DVD goes to market.

After that only the VHS and DVD copies that people have purchased will be left, ... That's not a problem, as each VHS copy has been encrypted to write commands to any VCR that tries to play them after a certain date to erase the tape. Any dubbed copies of these VHS tapes also contain the encryption. DVD copies of movies were easier to protect. After the same date, the DVDs simply won't play, and will come out as digital gibberish if people attempt to copy them after that date.

It's really a matter of reallocating its resources to growth areas, such as DVD players and mobile phones, and away from old-line sectors,

Excellent leg room, very attentive staff, fairly decent food, and I had my own DVD player.

I love 'I Love Lucy,' and I have the DVD set of 'I Love Lucy.'

In a serious relationship, I will definitely write music about a guy. I'm totally into mix tapes and I'm all about small little things. I'll drop by their door and just leave a gift or come over if they're sick and make them chicken noodle soup and rent a DVD and play board games. I think those little things mean a lot to someone.

I'm completely stunned that the DVD came out as great as it did. There was some greater power watching over us. It was a huge challenge, ... We only had about a half day's rehearsal and were supposed to film for two nights but only did one night. I also did all my playing by memory without the score in front of me. Maybe the crazy circumstances made it better.

If you didn't put that level of detail in, you'd actually miss it, ... You'd know it was fudged. The film had to be made so that you try and think of something comical that you'll see on the DVD one day.

In some cases we find empty CD and DVD cases on the shelves in which people have stolen the contents.

In the past, if 'Laguna Beach' was a hit, you wait a few months and put out the DVD and then make sure you've got some information on MTV.com -- but all of that was very ancillary, ... Our proposition is that it's not ancillary. In fact, it's reinforcing, all feeding each other.

I have five television sets. (I like to think of them as a set of five televisions.) I have two DVR boxes, three DVD players, two VHS machines and four stereos. I have nineteen remote controls, mostly in one drawer.

Clearly (the DVD market) is a hit medium. Right now the studios are making a lot of coin on the DVD sell-through.

High-definition plus today's DVD equals good enough, ... It has been and continues to be so ugly that consumers are going to stay away.

How can you sell a new high-definition DVD player for US$1,000 when the PlayStation 3 is selling for $400? I think the HD-DVD players may cost $1,000 in March, but they'll come down to $500 or so when the PlayStation 3 comes out.

I don't think that it's out of the question that a DVD can be released in the same window as a theatrical release. I think that all the old rules should be called into question, because the rules, in terms of consumption, have changed so dramatically.

Gates argued that Sony's new high-definition DVD standard, called Blu-ray, needed to be changed so it would work smoothly with personal computers running on Microsoft's Windows operating system. Stringer and two lieutenants defended the technology, insisting Blu-ray would work fine in PCs, ... Yet Gates's ire only grew. 'There must be something much deeper going on,' Stringer said later, according to another person who heard the comment.

If Hollywood doesn't act now, a year from now this decision won't matter, ... Right under everybody's noses, ultra-fast networks are getting rolled out. Suddenly, a DVD will be downloaded in a matter of seconds.

I appreciate it so much. It's one of the biggest treasures I have. I haven't looked at it for a while, but I think about it a lot, and I have a DVD of our games that I've watched two, three, four times.

If digital can help drive a movie's box office and DVD sales or help a TV show be successful, the actual digital revenues are secondary.

I don't like DVD extras. No. Especially when they do things like put out alternative endings? I find all of that a little bizarre, because there should only be one ending. I don't like to be told, 'Oh, we could have had it this way,' for the director's cut.

HD DVD is destined to be a key driver for progress and the development of the consumer electronics, IT and entertainment industries.

Hearing people on a DVD or CD is a whole lot different than hearing them in person. I'm hoping he'll pull out some new stuff.

The DVD sell-through market is big business. The studios are not going to jeopardize the Wal-Mart channel.

The DVD sector isn't going away, shrinking, or about to collapse,

The DVD recorder and games console market will be a much bigger driver than the PC market. A PC is fine for writing a movie or backing it up, but ultimately you want to play it on a DVD player.

The DVD burner, plasma screen TVs, digital cameras are the hot picks.

The coaches have been doing their homework. We've provided them with portable DVD players, and we're providing statistics of games. They're watching a lot of games and going to games on their own.

The design of 'Love Actually,' the typeface, the basic line of that poster and that DVD cover has been ripped off so many times.

The introduction of HD DVD is an exciting milestone in the evolution of Home Theater. Partnering with key retailers in major markets across America, this tour will help Toshiba deliver the product information our customers want in a face-to-face environment that allows them to interact with Toshiba on a more personal level, a key objective of our overall integrated communication efforts. We also realize that not everyone can attend an in-store demonstration of HD DVD. That is why this tour is only one component of our integrated plan to promote the introduction of HD DVD in the United States.

Every show you'll see here holds such profound meaning for me, ... I appreciate every hour our viewers spent watching us grow forward and now, through this DVD Collection, I can give back to the world by using its proceeds and the next twenty seasons of my life for what I know is my true calling -- to be of service to women, children and families in need around the world.
