"Since the identity of the killer is the most arbitrary plot element in the entire movie, it wouldn't have mattered if you had revealed it." Well, true, but I was simply trying to figure out where I may have spoiled any of the plot for anyone; but your hidden spoiler message explained it, I...

Hey Guys, Thanks for all the input on the film and its DVD counterpart overview; indeed, picked up a great deal of information regarding folks' thoughts and the "behavior" of Sony and its TriStar/Screen Gems/360 Pictures/Columbia etc etc subdivisions. At any rate, I apologize to the member --...

THERE ARE TWO SIDES TO EVERY CRIME... I really didn't know what to make of this film -- I mean, at times, it seems as though this was simply a vehicle for Lindsay Lohan to use a trashy mouth and gyrate her body around a pole as a stripper; is this stuff catching in Hollywood? We had Britney...

....that's why I was asking if he was serious....:crazy:

Is that a serious question? :crazy: If it is, then yes, indeed we have heard of Denon -- and their reputation is well-respected in many areas, notably in the area of home theater receivers.

Thank you, John! Great to finally hear from another HT enthusiast and get their thoughts on mono; I have a hard time deciding on how to play back these "2.0" or "Big Fat Mono" tracks over a system....of course, Pro Logic II steering sends it all to the center -- but the Onkyo algorithms on my...

I thought this would make for an interesting thread as mono material really gets no love anymore.... The question is primarily for Onkyo receiver owners, as I am intrested to hear what modes are utilized, but for those of you with some older DVDs/Blu rays in your collection, which modes on...

Yes I know that the framing issue on Pirates was indeed cutting into an intended effect during the Norrington capture scene at the blacksmith's; to me, the removal of the breasts in Halloween ruined that sequence because she states "Whats the matter....can't I get your ghost pop?" as the breasts...

UPDATE: There was also a framing issue with Halloween on Blu ray, much like in Pirates of the Caribbean; the scene where our "totally" actress drops the sheet to expose her chest to who she thinks is her boyfriend but is the Shape in a sheet is actually missing her breasts -- I believe every...

Cees, You know what's bad about this situation is that I specifically bought into this format -- that is, Blu ray -- with the assumption that the Panasonic player spit out the new formats in bitstream to be decoded by a new amp, like Onkyo's TX-SR605...I know it's been laughed at before in...

I had a thoroughly detailed, explicitly analytical summary of my thoughts, feelings and emotional response on the new Blu ray release of John Carpenter's legendary Halloween, but because of a database crash, I was required to rewrite this whole thing, so this is going to be a scaled down model...

What I meant was I thought HDMI-supported signals/formats, like the new codecs from DTS and Dolby, can be transferred via a bitstream signal.

Thanks, Michael; I'll get to editing that as soon as possible.

On Earth, I had assumed that "uncompressing" a codec would lead to the effect of the track "opening up" and breathing a bit as compared to the standard Dolby Digital/DTS mixes on SD DVD -- promising more powerful volume levels than found on DVD, which I thought, in some instances, needed...

False. You proved it earlier when DTS MA discs didn't show DTS MA on your receiver. Right....but that was ONLY because it is CLEARLY stated in the Panasonic manual, which I read countless times, that the ONLY audio format not supported by this player is the DTS HD MASTER AUDIO, and thus...
