Dvd Quotations

I hate when there's a deleted scene on a DVD with no explanation, or you have to go out of your way to find an alternate audio track.

I don't want to just add another DVD to the pile. So I think, 'Is this going to have an impact and some lasting value? Is it worth it for me to spend two years of my middle-aged life on this?' They're my criteria, and I think that's led me to more urgent projects.

The movie business has been in enormous flux. It's always changing, and you've got to scramble. The Internet came along and devoured the DVD backend of the movie business. Suddenly you're watching dollars turn into nickels, and that's interesting to me.

Binge viewing has been around since DVD box sets.

If you got the DVD you can see that George Lucas has taken that person out, as well as the voice, and we shot this scene when we arrived in Australia during the actual filming of Episode 3.

I started my Twitter account for selfish reasons: I wanted to have a place to post updates on my book signing tour and stuff like that. I never realized that I'd have so much fun tweeting. It's become the deleted scenes for my DVD of columns and podcasts.

I was always obsessed with other performers doing their thing, and Britney 'Live in Las Vegas' from 2001 is my absolute favorite tour DVD of all time.

There's a DVD called 'The Secret.' It's like visualization and meditation, certain methods I use before games, visualizing the games before they happen.

Frankly, with HBO and Showtime and cable shows, the DVD box sets and all, you can have a product that doesn't make you feel like as soon as it's projected, it's thrown away. It's really a piece of art.

'The Fight Club' DVD is great. I like anything that has really good extras because as an actor, it's really great to see the behind-the-scenes stuff and see how different actors approach their particular project.

We know that no algorithm can solve global poverty; no pill can cure a chronic illness; no box of chocolates can mend a broken relationship; no educational DVD can transform a child into a baby Einstein; no drone strike can end a terrorist conflict. Sadly, there is no such thing as 'One Tip to a Flat Stomach.'

I've always been a DVD geek and, before that, a laser disc fanatic, too.

At least, I'm very happy that it's going out on DVD because if it wasn't for the fans who signed this petition and were really ongoing about how they loved it, we wouldn't see this DVD right now.

I'm a couch potato. I love to stay in and just watch a DVD with the missus. Or we all go over to Louis's house and watch 'X Factor.'

When you go to Best Buy and see a DVD of your movie, you think it's amazing. But then there's a whole other world that comes with it. It's a very small percent that's difficult, stalker-like, or annoying. Most people are just so gracious and so nice. As cheesy as it sounds, that's the thing that really keeps you going.

IMDb only lists specific projects. It doesn't list theater, commercial, and most non-union work. You also have to pay to upload your reel to most sites, and some places still make you walk your DVD into their physical location.

I've been watching 'Lost' on DVD recently. I keep thinking, 'Where are those actors now?' Nobody knows.

We utilized the center channel to present the kick drum, snare and bass guitar tracks, as well as singer Greg Graffin's lead vocals, ... Unlike a lot of modern music mixes for 5.1, the center channel was our anchor. This mix is more akin to a 5.1 feature film mix. By mixing in the Rick Chace Theater we had the opportunity to experience the entire concert in a THX-certified dubbing stage and in a room we know, love and trust. To ensure final compatibility in a range of different environments, Brett reviewed the final mix in Mix One, our THX pm3-certified near-field room, and took a few songs on a DVD reference disc so he could also hear the final mix on the new Bose home theater system located at Epitaph's Los Angeles headquarters.

We're not going to stock the latest DVD that you can get at Blockbuster. Our mission drives what we buy.

We're so scared of piracy right now that we're ready to pimp out our mothers. This whole day-and-date DVD release nonsense? Here's an answer: (Digital cinema is) one of the strongest reasons I've been pushing 3-D for the past few years because it offers a powerful experience which you can only have in the movie theater.

What's really important about software development is implementing the features your customers ask for. That's what we've done with the addition of DVD burning and what we will continue to do in the future.

With the incredible 'Friends' television series and DVD phenomenon, many people have watched episodes countless times and have become experts, so it was natural to create an accessible and exciting videogame that could challenge their knowledge, ... Working together and leveraging cross-divisional Warner Bros. competencies has enabled the studio to design, create and distribute FRIENDS: THE ONE WITH ALL THE TRIVIA along with a repackaged ten season DVD box set, giving fans a chance to complete their collection and their 'Friends' experience with a fun quiz format including memorable clips and characters from the show.

We're extremely pleased with the out-of-the-gate success of the DVD release of 'Goblet of Fire'. We knew fans really connected with this installment in the Harry Potter series, and that continued loyalty to the franchise has carried over to these phenomenal DVD sales figures.

Throughout my college years, I'd watch my sister squeal every Christmas as she unwrapped another 'Buffy' DVD set. I didn't know much about the series, but I was filled with that obnoxious self-importance that comes from having decided to be an Academic Who Reads Serious Things.

We have no plan to phase out all sales of VCR machines at this time, ... However, many customers are opting to purchase our dual machines (which retail for about $150) that play both DVD and VHS formats.

What we know about our customers is not that they won't go to the movies if they know it will be on DVD soon. Au contraire -- what we know about our customers is they will see it when they want to, if they want to, and how they want to, so I say let it all happen all at once.

What we hope is to break Judith as a major artist. Secondly, I'm going to put my television stuff, both from 'Saturday Night Live' and HBO, on DVD for the first time, and package it with a CD of comedy material -- mainly from my radio show ('Le Show') about the era of anchors who are leaving or have left: Brokaw, Rather, Koppel. And then to go down the line, Judith has a lot more material.

The fact that 'Revenge of the Sith' was produced digitally means that the picture and sound on this DVD are truly extraordinary. On top of that, the hours of bonus material allow fans to explore the movie in a multitude of ways. For this final 'Star Wars' movie, we wanted to deliver a DVD that would capture the excitement and fun of 'Revenge of the Sith,' and we hope that fans will agree that we've accomplished that.

The process of putting the DVD and the CD together was great fun, because it provided a good excuse for the four of us to make time to get together again. I am especially pleased with the end result of these two projects.

Luckily, with 'The Collector' the first time around, it really took off in the DVD world and foreign, so it was just a pleasant surprise that a couple of years later there we were, doing it again.

Many consumers were driven to the stores last weekend by great sales on electronics and toys. Now that many of the most popular electronics are affordable for the average shopper, people are picking up DVD players and digital cameras as gifts, but also for themselves.

Many consumers have made a significant investment in DVD libraries.

She had asked for a DVD in which her steps were recorded, to be sent to Rio where she was shooting. After pack-up, she used to return to her suite and practice her steps.

Movies provide flexibility in being able to set up your own video library, as proven in the DVD era. People want to build a high-impact library that retains the cinematic feel.

One night, our captors took us downstairs, sat us in front of the TV, and showed us the life of Jesus on DVD in Arabic. But these are the people who shot Tom Fox in the head. People are very complex. Also, I think they wanted to keep us happy, so that we wouldn't try any desperate escape.

Obviously, with the increase in technology, piracy has increased. It is so much easier to burn a DVD or a CD. Because of the growing popularity of our music on the world stage, it is important to protect our musical creativity.

Online theft has changed the business model of filmmaking because the DVD market is very soft. So, more ambitious, compelling, character-driven narrative of a certain budget level isn't really a viable business model in the eyes of the studios right now.

Maybe they'll start making serialized movies. I watched the first couple seasons of '24' and it's really fun. I bought the DVD and watched it over a month or so and it's great. It's like reading a novel. It has a lot of possibilities that are more difficult to accomplish with a film.

New music releases, industry-wide, performed below last year and DVD releases did not perform up to expectations.

Nobody has ever done this DVD technology before; no other sports team, because it's so new. We'll have the opportunity to really transform the way video coaching and scouting are done. It's kind of old-school to have to send people around to watch the game when you have all these feeds of it already. Our coaching staff isn't ready to make that change yet, but once they become comfortable with the system, they could.

If they get a DVD player and like it, they'll say, 'Why don't I look at the TV as well?' And when little else is different, they'll go for price. The risk is justified in the savings.

I bought myself a pickup truck, a big one, four doors, with a DVD player for the kids. And I'm proud of it, because to be able to purchase something like that, it's just something we've never been able to do in our family, for generations. But when I bought it, man, I felt like I was stealing something.

I bought a few copies of the DVD and dished them out to the family. Obviously it was very pleasing to get the winner against such a great team, but the most important thing was to go through. It was fantastic for me.

Bubble' is just the beginning. It's a process of learning the best way to package and integrate and market movies so consumers can buy a DVD in a theater or Best Buy or go to the theater or do both.

I'm always so amazed by which performances work really, really well and which ones don't. But I think it's just mostly, 'She's Out Of My League,' so many people saw that movie on DVD and on the plane. Just millions of people saw that movie. That's the reason I'm somewhat famous.

I'm a real nature lover, so whenever possible, I like to get to the beach or get to a forest or get somewhere there's fresh air. Apart from that, I'm a film addict and a DVD freak.

I can't say I was leaping with joy with much of the news. I have been assured that the DVD production company believes they will be able to release the WHITESNAKE DVD on October 25, but, to be honest, I will believe it when I see it. On my return from South America, I will devote ALL my energy to rescuing it if the situation has not changed. So, as of now, you guys know as much as me. Do I feel like a victim? You bet. How does that feel? NOT GOOD! Am I pissed? YEP!! It does not suit me at all. So I am moving on. And as I promised you before, I will do everything I can to ensure it is released this year.

Getting a foothold on the DVD market really gives you leverage in the TV market,

If a child scored a 300 in reading last year and the score improved to 350 this year, the child and their parents would each receive the increased difference between the two scores in tickets to use as cash in an auction of many large-ticket items at the beginning of the next school year. The kids may use their tickets separately or combined with parents' to bid on items such as big-screen televisions, bicycles, DVD players and more.

I don't think it's out of the question that a DVD can be released in effect in the same window as a theatrical release. Although I'm sure we will get a fair amount of push-back on this from the industry, it's not out of the question. I think that all the old rules should be called into question because the rules in terms of consumption have changed so dramatically.

If it's a choice between spending $25 for tickets to a movie and almost that much again for drinks and popcorn, it's understandable people are opting instead to buy a movie on DVD for $15, even if it's no-frills.

What makes 'Survivor' and 'Amazing Race' ripe for DVD is the fact that they are action-oriented and competition-based. There are challenges and outdoor racing and different things bred into the contests that allow for repeated viewing.

There are so many opportunities for growth in China -- it just doesn't stop. Every year, there are more than 30 million TV sets sold, 20 million DVD players sold and 20 million home entertainment centers sold. Even if sales were to slow down in mobile phones, they'll be made up elsewhere.

I was a Green Day guy because the first DVD I bought was Green Day's 'Bullet In A Bible,' the live album. That really empowered me to be not just a drummer but a performer. It's a really crucial part of why I wanted to be in a band.

I think it's the best thing I ever recorded. It's on no label, so it's an entirely independent project. We recorded a live album and DVD, the DVD has the entire testimony, the entire night on it. We couldn't put that whole thing on the CD so basically it's the songs and a little bit of talking.

I think this is just another avenue to put ideas through -- it's the same approach I take when I produce and write songs. I wanted to take it to the family television and the DVD world.

It is hard to imagine an all-encompassing Sony brand not participating in the DVD market, home audio and speakers, digital cameras, digital camcorders or even PCs,

I think the whole DVD craze has provided opportunities for material that, for those interested in it, explains the whole history and background in getting a film made, which is great.

I think DVD has been a real gold mine for a lot of reasons. You were selling a packaged good in a big mass market, so you could make it huge. You were selling or renting a thing that people didn't consume. You go to Blockbuster, rent five movies, and only watch two. That's a good business to be in.

I remember watching the Blu-ray, and also when they first released it on DVD in the collection of all three movies of 'The Godfather,' and seeing all of those scenes that they cut out, and there wasn't a single one of them that I wished they had kept it, but they were the most exciting thing to watch anyway.

Parents are looking for options that allow kids to incorporate physical activity into their play -- even at younger ages. Cranium first defined what that active experience should be for preschoolers with its Cranium Hullabaloo game. With the Hullabaloo DVD Game, Cranium expands the activity by providing an immersive animal environment that will keep kids engaged and playing even longer.

(Palm Pictures founder) Chris Blackwell said to me 6 or 7 years ago that DVD doesn?t have to be a tombstone for creative content. He said (DVD) is such a great format that people will make content solely for DVD, and not just cheap franchise movies, but things that will extend the audio and visual arts.

Our goal is to convert the traditional retail online photo site into a cross media environment for the ordering of photos and music. We will take the traditional photo site, which has the capabilities to process photos and other related photo merchandise, and combine it with the ability to order music and other content, such as videos and games, for on-demand production on a CD or DVD within an hour - all new revenue streams for the retailer.

('Man Alive!') was specifically designed to be able to play live. I wanted lots of air. It'll be the easiest DVD because a lot of the vocal performances were live.

The $8 billion (rental) business isn't going to disappear. This isn't buggy whip time. Everybody's got a DVD player.

You can get PC's with DVD burners in them for under $1,000 and DVD recorders for between $350 to $500.

We ended up with some pretty good quality videos for next to nothing. We just thought it would be interesting to put WAV files on a DVD and let people burn CDs if they want. CDs are so expensive. I can't remember the last time I bought a new CD.

We ended up with some pretty good quality videos for next to nothing, ... We just thought it would be interesting to put WAV files on a DVD and let people burn CDs if they want. CDs are so expensive. I can't remember the last time I bought a new CD.

We could not have asked for a more inspirational partner to create an equally inspirational and entertaining DVD series.

Today?s disclosure is a logical extension of the commitment of console makers to empowering parents. I am proud that each console maker has taken the initiative to give power to the parents, offering technology not available for DVD players or even portable music players that will allow parents to control the entertainment their children access.

When I first moved to L.A., I didn't have a lot of money to join a gym or take classes, so I improvised. My sister and I went to the library and looked over their DVD collection and discovered Neena and Veena, these Egyptian twins who have a whole series of belly dancing routines. We did them all.

We can all try to blame the closing window of DVD and all that, but you see the movies that are really distinctive still going out and doing really well.

We are now prepared to deliver HD DVD to the market.

We are always looking for more ways to reach our audience with our reporting, and this DVD series is a great outlet, ... It enables us to put some of the most compelling material all in one place, and really encapsulates the stories of our time in a unique way.

The overall electronic entertainment industry is a big competitor to the sports industry. If it's not video games, it's a DVD or television or the Internet. We're just filled with things that amuse us and consume lots of time.

The PC industry is champing at the bit to provide downloaded movies that might compete with DVD sales, and Pay-TV services want to add movies to their video-on-demand services, to their new disk-drive-equipped set-top boxes, and to their emerging high-definition TV services.

We are not going to reveal what the drinks are right now, but in regard to Martian Colony we can say it will be Green and the Marty and Artie drink will be health conscious. Child obesity is big issue today and when you drink the Martian Colony drink, we think you will be out of this world. Hat Trick beverage will release additional details in the coming weeks and we are hoping to unveil the Martian Colony drink first by the end of spring, and the Marty and Artie drink in conjunction with the DVD release for the Winter Holiday Season.

There are over 280 members of the DVD Forum that are supporting and working together on the HD DVD format. So we're not worried at all. We're the hardware manufacturer and it would be natural for you to hear from us. Our company has a very rich history in consumer technologies. For us, this is a consumer product that happens to have the latest and greatest technology.

You look at the fact that DVD sales are down and it tells you again that it's product-driven, ... Because why would somebody want to buy a DVD of a movie they didn't want to see in the first place? You still need to have great movies at the beginning of the pipeline and that feeds everything else.

The critically acclaimed films released by Universal Pictures and Focus Features stand on their own and are not dependent on DVD campaigns to fuel nominations and awards.

We put so much of ourselves on DVD that people expect that you are responsible for every aspect about the DVD. I've gotten complaints about the pricing! . . . My call is the content, and even that gets reined in sometimes.

We're thrilled with this sales velocity and expect all of the activity around the Oscars to further boost sales and awareness this week and well into next. But truly, it speaks volumes to the strength of the film and consumers' continued love affair with the DVD format.

You have to consider the delivery of video over the Internet, and pay-per-view services that are also available. It will take 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.

We have seen the damage already caused to the music industry and we have to continue to make the public and government bodies globally aware of the damage that will happen if DVD piracy is not brought under control.

The past few years have seen a major shift toward reality-based shows on TV, so it's no surprise we're seeing more of the genre released on DVD. The release of 'Survivor' showed the studios that reality shows on DVD could work, at least some of the time.

The phenomenal sales underscore the enduring strength of the series, ... In many territories, DVD and game sales were nearly double what we initially expected.

When you are proud of something you have done, and you have made a film you feel has merit, and it's found an audience and is critically well received, that's a pretty pleasurable place to be. I mean, you don't want it gathering dust at the bottom of someone's DVD collection.

When the dog goes back to the family, one of two things will happen. If the training continues, the dog thinks, 'Oh, this happens here too.' If the training comes to an end, the dog forgets it, thinking it's all over. You have to reinforce everything, and the DVD does help you to understand what has gone on at the course.

We are excited to be the first studio to deliver secure and legal download-to-own films through the Internet simultaneous with the film's DVD debut. This agreement provides Warner Bros. with yet another channel to deliver our movies directly to consumers' homes. By continuing to partner with local services around the world, Warner Bros. is finding innovative ways to engage with the local culture and community. Additionally, these solutions help us to combat piracy by providing high quality, affordable and legal downloads.

To deliver TV or DVD quality IPTV content, we need bandwidth of three to four mega bits per second (mbps) but the maximum bandwidth available in China is one mbps. So infrastructure has been a problem as well.

While we are concerned that our established HD DVD partner has chosen to make this announcement at this time, we remain supremely confident in the superiority of the HD DVD format.

This second consecutive DVD Original hit reaffirms the viability of our innovative strategy for bringing exceptional content to the DVD marketplace. The aggressive and unique approach to production, marketing and distribution, combined with the massive appeal of the 'American Pie' franchise, proved an irresistible combination to consumers hungry for a post-holiday treat.

We've heard it all before. We've heard so much rhetoric that this race is now anticlimactic. At this point, just show me the DVD player already.

TV DVD puts you in control, not the networks,

We could take the movie around as well, and not just be playing as the Flaming Lips as a rock band. I'm thinking of taking it to theaters and having it be an experience where we bring in giant sound systems, smoke machines, Christmas lights, s--- falls on you from the ceiling and you can smoke pot and do whatever you want. There's something about the communal experience while something intense and unexpected is happening. I'm sure it will come out on DVD and there'll be a soundtrack, but that isn't the real experience.
