This is a great fireplace DVD, although I cannot compare it to any others because it is the only/first I have owned. It features real wood, which is great because it crackles just like a normal fire. The sound quality is pretty good I’d say, and the video shows up very nicely even on my 42′ 720p plasma (albeit using a Blu-ray player, which up-converts the signal). I find it a very relaxing way to fill in the silence when I’m just reading/studying on the couch. Very nice product overall!

I bought two different fireplace DVD’s and this one was far, FAR superior to the log cabin one. This shows the fire as it swells to a roar and then simmers down again. I feel refreshed, warmed and comforted after seeing it.

I am buying more of “The Fireplace DVD’s” for gifts that I KNOW my family and friends will enjoy. Now, I don’t feel the need for the portable fireplace I almost bought for $200.00!

Love it! No music, nothing tacky.. just a really nice crackling fire in 3 stages of burning which can be looped in any of the 3, or all 3 at once. Nice ambient warmth for the cold months without the hassles of a real fireplace. I recommend it.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say this is David Lynch’s best film. Sure, “Wild At Heart,” has those great close-ups of freshly struck matches and cigarettes being sucked on like torches overgreased by insecure cavemen; the Mystery Man in “Lost Highway” lives in a shack on fire; and all the cool, sadistic scenes in “Blue Velvet” are preceded by cute, little, cuddly flames. But here we have the holy, unforgiving, almighty FLAME: “Real Wood Burning Fire” is nothing but flame right in your face. Fire, walk with me, indeed! Or “Flame on,” as the pretty boy from “Fantastic Four” would say.

RWBF truly is a bold statement on the End-Times in which we live; how we in America consume, consume in an unsatisfied Rage. It’s also Lynch’s most spontaneous and improvised work to date, even more so than his meat paintings.

In conclusion, let’s just let Mr. Eraserhead speak for himself (from an interview posted on [...]): “I love building fires in a fireplace. It’s startling what a unique texture it is. Fire is almost ethereal. There are so many things it causes to happen inside you when you’re watching a fire. I think for human beings, always, when you get down to the pure things that exist, like lightning and fire and rock, each one holds so much. It’s just closer to the source or something. Wood is beautiful stuff. I could talk a long time about wood.”

Heh, heh. I know what you mean, Davey. Wait, did you steal my copy of “Playgirl” again?
