Wow Gidget..I just can't see anyone not wanting this .. Good surfing shots, just fun family films ,of a time gone by.. If you love surfing , the beach, summertime and or the good old days this is it..! Makes ya want to hop in your old Chevy or Woody with some surfbords and take a ride to a very happy place in time..These are the movies that made as the Beach Boys say "Every ones gone surfin USA.." See you out there !!!!!!!!!!!
Great movie with botched packaging...
I wanted to express my disappointment with Sony for dumping these films on the market in the FULL FRAME, pan & scan format. These films should have been made available in their respective WIDESCREEN aspect ratios (2.35 for Gidget and 1.85. for the other two). The films themselves are a lot of fun, especially the first Gidget with the great Sandra Dee, but the joy is quickly snuffed out by the fact that almost half of the picture is missing. How about a PROPER release showing these films a little respect?
Cancelled
I had ordered this item this morning but immediately cancelled when I discovered they had been released in a standard format. Columbia Tristar is making a big mistake in not offering at least the option of the films' original aspect ratios-these were extremely popular films when they were released and remain interesting for all kinds of reasons, pleasure and delight not the least of them. In these technologically sophisticated times it's just plain vandalism to wantonly deprive the viewer of up to 50% of the original image.
Spend more on a better printer
Don't even bother trying to get support. The printer works great for about a month and then starts sending all these weird technical messages and just won't print. I was told to uninstall the software and reload it to fix problems. It worked for two days and then starting sending messages again. Spend your money on a better printer, preferably not HP.
Go away - It is not as cheap as you think
I started to hate HP because of this product. The black cartdriges for this printer only hold half the ink (20 ml) held by cartdriges for any other HP printer, but their cost is the same. Whatreally annoys me is that this was done on purpose by HP - there is a tiny plastic protuberance in the cartdrige slot of the 612 that just won't you let the plain 40 ml cartdrige in.
This printer has caused me a great deal of stress...
Printer frequently wastes ink, paper and time by jamming... I have a shopping bag FULL of paper here that has been wasted by this printer.
