DVD Reviews of George Carlin: All My StuffDVD Review: George Carlin: All My Stuff Summary: 5 StarsI Love George I think he was a great man. And he will be greatly missed. But the Dvd's are great and very funny..
DVD Review: The Master of Stand-Up Comedy Summary: 5 StarsCarlin doesn't tell jokes. He tells us about the absurdities of everyday life, points out our own foibles and does it with an awesome mastry of the English language. He takes our everyday language apart from pat phrases and makes us think. And it is his analysis of ourselves that is his comedy, not one-liners at the expense of others. Rarely would I pay over $150 for anything dedicated to humor, but this set is worth it.
DVD Review: Brilliant man! Great Deal! Summary: 5 StarsThis set may seem pricey at first but consider buying all these separately (if you can even find them) I had gotten all these specials in this set for over $200 bought in smaller box sets & the others that were not in the box sets so $179 (price at time of writing this) is a great deal for the convenience of not having to hunt for it all. As of it's release it was "All his stuff" but to complete your Carlin colection you need "It's Bad for you" his final show. Which I'm sure Carlin fans know,but if buying this for a Carlin fan you may not be aware.
DVD Review: george carlin all my stuff Summary: 5 Starsbeen a george carlin admirer for forty-five years. i am pleased to be able to own this collection of his work.......
DVD Review: 4.5 stars really...some of the picture quality ruins the fun Summary: 4 StarsI really, really wish I could give this box a full 5 star rating, and I actually do so when only taking the quality of Carlin's material and performance into consideration, but due to the digitally deteriorated picture quality on several of these HBO specials I just can't...and I'm not being nitpicky here. I'm talking about stuff that will make your eyes sting after a while. The box itself is great as well as the bonus material, but throughout the first special as well as the third and fourth (and one or two more) there are these horizontal lines--a couple of dozens of them--occupying all of screen, and they're highyl visual and create striped blurs over the whole screen during sudden movement (the speed of movement that is required for a heavy blur to appear varies from disc to disc, but it's more obvious on close-up shots, and the first special suffers the most.) This unfortunate flaw really effects your mood while trying to concentrate on Carlin's shows...so a few of these discs have been exposed to some sort of digital over-compression, while a bit over half are just fine. Actually, on the "George on George" documentary on one of the two bonus discs, clips are shown from several of these specials, but the quality is crisp and clear, and you think to yourself "why can't the actual shows on the other discs look this great?" ...it's a shame. I own no other of Carlin's HBO shows separately, and don't know if most of the early ones suffer from this over-compression or whatever it is the way they do here, but I'm almost ready to buy one of them just to see if I can replace the discs in this set...but I suspect that these are just gathered discs of all already separately released DVD's.
...oh, and I don't think I have to explain anything about George Carlin and his stand-up for this product. He's a legend, and you know his stuff (you wouldn't be considering buying this pricey box if you weren't familiar with his comedy from before) ...I just wanted to be the first one to point out this unfortunate flaw. It's the only flaw, but it's a big one.
