Jim Belushi/John Ritter movie "REAL MEN" on DVD

Hi folks,

To the best of my knowledge, the film "REAL MEN" starring Jim Belushi
and John Ritter has not seen an official DVD release. Therefore I've
made my own, and I thought I'd post to see if anyone else would like a
copy. I'd prefer trades (1:1 for DVD-R or 2:1 for VHS), but I'll also
accept cash if you have nothing of interest to trade. E-mail
for details.

The disc is a DVD-R with a paper label, and has a still-image menu.
Scene Selection is the only "feature" available on the disc (i.e., no
bonus stuff). I am still designing the packaging, but I can e-mail
you an image of what the cover looks like, as well as one of the main
and scene menus. I have done my best to make this a
professional-quality product, as this movie may never be released on
DVD officially. The product will be shipped in a standard DVD
keepcase with full sleeve insert, and will be sent via USPS "media
mail".

If you would like to see other films released, or would like to
receive information about upcoming releases, e-mail
and I will let you know when new discs are ready.
PDTV offers movies, cartoons, documentaries, and music videos
(including concerts, etc.) from the 1980s that are presently
unavailable on DVD. Several projects have already been cancelled in
the planning stages due to official DVD releases, and if REAL MEN is
ever released on DVD, this version will no longer be offered.

Another film that should be ready to go soon is "MOVING VIOLATIONS"
starring John Murray (brother of Bill Murray) and Jennifer Tilly.

In addition, several Genesis concerts are being readied for release,
including highlights from the Calling All Stations tour, along with
VH1's "Behind The Music" special on Genesis.



By the way, all PDTV releases are Region 1/NTSC.

"REAL MEN" is a transfer from commercially-released VHS with the edges
of the frame cropped to remove jagged edges, head-switching noise,
etc. This is not visible on a standard TV, but cleaning up the edges
makes the disc suitable for viewing on a PC or portable DVD player
with LCD screen.

 

OR! or you could write to MGM and ask that they release "Real Men" on DVD.....

 

....and I'll never forgive you for that.

 

Again, what good is waiting for the "legal" DVD when it may never
happen??? Do you ALWAYS wait for the "WALK" signal (or for that
matter, even wait until you get to a corner) to cross the street?

 

Only when I can be sure nothing is coming! (both for the dvd and x
walks)

 

And exactly how are you going to be sure nothing is coming? I'd really
love to know. The only method that springs to mind is that you wait
until DVD is dead and the next thing comes along to take its place,
like HD-DVD or something. By that point you could be reasonably sure a
DVD won't be released, but then you'd just sit there waiting for the
HD-DVD. For this title, there was no VHS reissue since it was
originally released, so a DVD release is very unlikely -- especially
since DVDs have been around for several years now.

You don't want it, fine. Some of us aren't gonna be so blindly
optimistic.

 

Which as many many posts have mentioned do not play well at all. They
may be unbalanced or even shred inside the dvd player. I contacted the
above seller and asked about getting one without a label.

Sorry, all PDTV releases come with paper labels. You
may want to avoid ordering if this is a problem.



So I wont be ordering and I suggest others avoid any dvd discs with
stick on labels.

 

Exactly. No effort is being made to hide that fact.

Besides, why not just copy it onto an unlabeled disc???

 

I have no optimism. If it comes it comes, there only thousands of
other interesting titles on disc now and a DVD mastered from a old VHS
tape is not acceptable to me.

If the film in question has been stated that it will never see any
distribution then you could argue your point. But until then its blind
pessimism ;-)

 

This has got to be some kind of hoax.
