I like movies with mood.... ...as long as the mood isn't the entire movie going into a coma. This one is truly a sleeper.

Ok...I can see how some might like the one "nightlife" scene with the dancers....but even that couldn't jump start most people's pacemaker... The movie is a low-budget "artistic" movie, and shows it. I have a pretty wide range of movie likes, and have seen hundreds of them that border on "I...

I guess I have to apologize to my wife about all those terrible things I said to her about "Legends of the Fall" being the worst movie of all time, a boring, "chick-flick", etc. Last night, we rented and loaded "Lost in Translation" into the DVD player with great anticipation of seeing a new...

For a 14' X 15' Room, 100" might seem a bit too much for some.... I have a 100" screen in a 16 X 21 room - seems perfect to me and according to anyone who's seen it - (maybe 25 people). Ceiling height also comes into play, particularly in consideration of your seating plans. If you have...

I think there are now a number of folks like you, Gregg, who will wait on the sidelines a few months to see if Voom even lasts for the long term. There have been countless problems with hardware and installs, and perhaps the future will bring less aggrevation to get this service. They'll also...

Definitely Peg 1. I almost forgot about Bud & Kelly.... anyway.... I think "Bundy Cinema" would be a great conversation-starter for your visitors as well!

Best wishes, and give ol' Peg a peck on the cheek for us, please. If you get a chance to share some of your latest "finished" photos..that would be nice....

Saw the post, saw the name.... How about BUNDY CINEMA (No disrespect meant...I happen to like Al alot...and lets face it, he was played by Ed O'Neill)

Looks like Best Buy is catching up quickly on the Reward Zone certificates. I got 2 today (from the 9/12/03 earnings date). I still have 2 more pending. Kudos for them finally getting this thing together. Now if they could only have the purchases show up in a quicker fashion, we'd be in...

Dish does not offer local HDTV channels, nor does it have plans to offer it in the near future. Its still behind D*TV in launching local channels overall, but will catch up a the end of this year. A D*TV launch of local HDTV channels would be a quantum leap over everyone else.

Check out this new announcement today regarding DirecTV: New use of satellites by DirecTV enhances HDTV channel offerings soon Heeeeeeeeee Haaaaaaaaa........... More HDTV coming in the months ahead!

No confusion here. A DTV signal requires much of the same investment as HDTV from the major content providers, and with the advent of HDTV market and programming growth, the results will be almost parallel. ESPN is investing $40 Million in their new control HDTV control facility alone...

Today, the FCC got court concurrence that they can continue to push forward with their plans for an HDTV mandate in the next few years. Here are the specifics. This can only help motivate HDTV content providers to comply: Dow Jones Business News Court Upholds FCC Mandate for Digital Tuners...

Someone had asked me a few weeks ago about speculated new HDTV channels, particularly on DirecTV or Dish. I finally dug up the information he requested. In addition, I assembled (in one place) what I've seen on the "front burner" for HDTV in the months ahead. The following information...

I promised I wouldn't say I told you so.... ...so I won't. Please note the following news from Reuters today: Cable operator Cablevision Systems Corp. (NYSE:CVC - News) on Thursday said it would spin off its satellite TV platform as well as three television channels, just days after...
