Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Great Film Obscured by Public Domain-ism
This review refers specifically to this DVD release of Meet John Doe. What a ripoff! And an excessive price tag for such a stupendously bad copy of this great film. Apart from the obvious fog and grain and visual noise you usually get with PD releases, this one has an obnoxious hum on the audio track that is outrageously distracting. Save your money. Tape it off of the TV.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Great Movie, Poor Quality DVD
Apparently, the DVD was made from an old print of the movie that was grainy with washed out blacks. Indeed, I don't believe that there is a single scene in the movie that has a true black even though the movie is in black & white. Regardless of the poor quality of the DVD, the film's fine direction and acting performances make the movie truly enjoyable, especially if you are a Capra fan. Thus I rate this dvd at only three stars overall because of one star dvd quality combined with a five star movie.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best of Capra
This story is many times better that "It's a Wonderful Life" The social and politcal ideas it presents are still very relevent today. Perhaps even more so. The print of the black and white feature is not perfect, probably because the movie lanquished in obscurity for so long. Of course you can't beat Cooper and Stanwyk together.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Quality of DVD is grainy, am disappointed.
I've just played "Meet John Doe" DVD, put out by Passport Video, and must admit to being extremely disappointed in the very poor picture quality all the way through. I might try the VHS version and hope for an improvement over this one.

I'm puzzled about the error of movie title and the actors. "The Divorce of Lady X" (1938) has Merle Oberon and Laurence Olivier in it. "Meet John Doe" has Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck. So why the mixup in titles as listed above by Amazon? Surely someone ought to have noticed long ago!



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Very Poor Quality DVD
Love the movie, but the quality of the DVD put out by Alpha Video was so bad it was very difficult to watch. The sound was scratchy and muffled and the picture looked as if the brightness was turned all the way up. If you don't want to be disappointed and feel like you've been ripped off, wait for the remastered cut before you buy this one.

I've heard it said by Dave Winer and many many others: if only Dean had reinvested half the money raised into the Internet, then ...

OK, so you're the Dean Campaign Chief Information Officer in August 2003. The money starts to roll in. $20 million over six months, $2-4 million per month.

What would you spend the money on?

  1. What does your monthly budget look like?
  2. What is your application and infrastructure portfolio?
  3. How much will you allocate to maintenance?
  4. You're building from scratch, so what problems do you hope to avoid through wise architecture?
  5. What are your big milestones?
  6. Who are your key vendors?

How do you spend in consonance with the campaign strategy?

  1. How will you use the Internet to bring offline voters into the campaign at the same numbers as radio or television broadcasts?
  2. What is your online strategy for responding to attack ads and opposition pundits in radio, television and print?
  3. Online community takes time to build and is very hard to organize geographically. What will you do to match the state-by-state primary schedule?
  4. What can you do with online services to serve the campaign in caucus states?
  5. You are preparing for Bush to launch in Spring 2004. What are your countermeasures to reach out to moderate Republicans online while the GOP uses its advanced voter email systems to barrage 200 million validated email addresses?
  6. How will you lower the cost-per-vote vs. the GOP?
