Here are two really great Star Wars/Boogie Nights mash-ups: YouTube - Star Wars Boogie Nights Edition VERY FUNNY! YouTube - BOOGIE JEDI NIGHTS

Thanks for the great post! I've been wanting to try out Gmail since it was released but was never able to get an invite. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Van Garrett made some good points. Take the MSF course and get your motorcylce endorsement. Definitely budget for some gear, at the very least you will need a DOT/SNELL approved helmet. An armored jacket, gloves, and sturdy boots are all highly recommended. In your price range...

According to the Akai website (see link in original post) the CFT3090 does have a component video input.

Thanks Josh, I am anxious to check this set out for myself. I'm pretty sure it's going to be either the Akai or the Sony, and since I watch basically ZERO 4:3 programing, I am leaning towards the Akai. I basically want the biggest/best DVD picture for around $500. Anyone else have any opinions...

Hello all, It is time for a new television set. I finally got rid of my Akai CFT2791, which i hated. More info on that here. I had pretty much decided to replace it with the Sony KV-27FS100 (I am still in awe of my parents' 36" XBR) when I stumbled upon this. The Akai CFT3090, is advertised...

Jack- Thank you for clarifying. I appreciate your input. Anybody else out there have experience with this set? -Jesse

Jack- Do you think that it is a power supply issue and not some kind of automatic black level adjustment? In a previous thread (see link in initial post), other Akai owners were dealing with similar black level problems. There would be sort of a "flash" and black level would shift. That is...

Jack- Can you please explain what "overdriving the set" means? My viewing environment is usually almost completely dark when I'm watching movies (dorm room). I am aware that a properly calibrated set will appear a bit darker to the uninitiated. I had to explain this to my parents when I...

Hello all, I am having a serious problem with my Akai CFT2791. The set will change black level over time. The clearest example is when watching a 2.35:1 dvd in widescreen mode. In widescreen mode, the set "squeezes" to about a ratio of 1.85:1. So when watching a 2.35:1 movie, I have really...

Jonathan, I found the help section you were referring to and I also couldn't get the "P" button to work. I pressed it a bunch of times and couldn't find the bmp files anywhere. I also tried a different capture program (can't even remember what it's called, i already deleted it) and I got...

I tried a screencap program from downloads.com but it doesn't really work and the other programs are not free. Anyone know if it's possible to do it with InterVideo WinDVD? -Jesse

I could have sworn that I read a thread on how to do this a while back, but for the life of me I can't find it. Can somebody please post the link if it exists or just tell me how to do it? I have InterVideo WinDVD. Thanks. -Jesse

Too cool.:)

I just saw one of these commercials and I can think of a possible problem with this type of hose. If the hose is partially rolled up in it's reel, the part of the hose within the reel might be wound too tightly to allow water to expand this part of the hose, thereby restricting water flow. If...

I thoroughly enjoyed this film. Having some experience working with adults having developmental disabilities in the past, I found Sean Penn's performance incredible and the story very touching. Few people ever have the chance to develop a personal relationship with someone with a developmental...

Thank you so much for all your help guys! I ended up ordering a 27x40 from Marc at Cine-Affiches for $16.50 US, shipped. God I love this forum. :) -Jesse

That would be the one! I've sent the email, hopefully I will get a response soon. -Jesse

Francois, Thank you so much! I will be shooting off an email shortly. -Jesse

Does anybody know where I can buy the French version of the Brotherhood of the Wolf movie poster? I want the one that's all in French and says "Le Pacte De Loups" at the bottom. Mods- I wasn't sure if this was the right place to post this, please move if necessary. -Jesse

I own a pair of M3ti's and I absolutely love them. These speakers continually impress me with wonderful mid-range and accuracy. I power them with a Yamaha RX-V800 and my only complaint is that they lack the bass response necessary for watching some movies. This is something you will run into...

Like virtually all consumer electronics, the price of 27" flat-screen tv's will go down. I would think that you might have to wait a couple of years for a $100 price drop. But, by that time you might be able to get a hi-def monitor for the price of a 27" flat-screen today. I think it really...

ryan_m- Wow! Thanks for the tip, there are some really interesting deals at PC Mall. They have almost exactly the same refurbished HP for $699! Your company's experience with refurbished HP's is also encouraging. -Jesse

KyleS- A new Dell system is a possibility. A one year warranty as opposed to a 60-day one is a definite plus. I've really only heard nothing but good about Dell, however, my personal experience with HP has also been outstanding. I think that if the HP system was new and the same price, I would...

KyleS, I checked out newegg and I do realize that money can be saved if a computer is built component by component. However, I am willing to pay a little bit extra for an all-in-one package. Having never built my own computer, my biggest concern is that if something went wrong during the...

:eek::eek::eek::eek: Man, am I jealous! That is one damn fine bike. I've been bouncing off the walls waiting to ride my GS500 (it's just finally starting to warm up enough up here). Have fun and ride safe.

I also had the opportunity to attend a preview screening of Death to Smoochy and I absolutely loved it. It's a really smart, dark comedy and both Williams and Norton are terrific. I have never really been a big fan of Williams, but he steals the show in this film. This is definitely one of...

Thank GOD!! I am so glad that JVC is addressing this problem. I am going to call that number ASAP. Too bad my player is just over three months old.:angry: Thanks for the post Ron. :)

These have to be the coolest commercials I have ever seen! It amazes me that they are for a hair product. Does anybody know who directed these commercials? There are three different ones that I can think of. -One has a medusa lady dancing with this fiery knight who turns her snakes into...
