One would think that THX would want to get the information on which disks out there benefit by their Re-EQ as a selling point for their "certification." I've been playing it by ear since 2000, so I guess I can continue doing so. Thanks for the reply David. Michael
After doing a quick search, I couldn't find a single thread on Re-EQ. Does anyone know of a definitive list of DVDs that require Re-EQ to be activated? Michael
I finally got around to heading over here to find out what is going on as well. Glad to hear that there was a semi-recent backup available. Sorry that there is a lot of work to be done. Michael
Christopher, You state that: "There's a whole Universe out there, innumerable cubic light years full of matter and energy we can use and perhaps worlds we can inhabit -- with a little tweaking at least." I don't know how we can go light years away from our precious watery rock when the...
Thomas brings up a good point about astronaut survival. Shouldn't we focus on missions that the primary objective is to "do science" not to make astronauts survive? Space is a cold deadly place do we really need to: Jan. 22, 2003: Day 6 Astronauts collect essential oils from blooming...
I am using Cox for phone and internet in Tucson for about 7 months and haven't had a problem yet. I can't stand Quest (after they stole money from everyone in the state of Oregon (in the 90s and finally had to pay it back)) so I couldn't be happier giving my money to Cox. Michael
KennethJR, When you were in Southern Iraq, it was under pretty extreme circumstances. Only a moron would go out to fly kites while the Republican Guard is getting buried (literally) by the US Army. Like Dave pointed out, Moore only wanted to show that Iraq is populated by people. By...
I think putting up a fence around your "Estate" is the best thing you could do. It seems ironic that people live in restricted access communities think that is not selfish. But this thread proves we all have different ideas of what is selfish and stupid. Michael
Greg*go, I really don't think that Moore wants us "grossed out." As I watched the scenes, I felt appalled. As I stated in an earlier post, I know that death (especially undignified murder by incendiary bombs and depleted uranium bombs) happens in war, but seeing it is another matter. Moore...
Just as an aside: Michael Moore donated a copy of F911 to the American Library Association's National Conference (as a thank you for helping get his book published). My wife says that viewing was even more raucous. Michael
Could it be a pinch flat? When you put your new tube in, do you partially inflate and check the bead of the tire and make sure that the tube isn't pinched?
My wife and I saw the first showing here in Tucson yesterday in a sold out theater. We loved the film. I laughed and cried. I am not going to point out spoilers because this is a discussion for people who have seen the film. The black screen with just the sounds of the impacts on the world...
I have an idea: why don't we "elevate" this thread to this level and we can get this thread locked too. To post in this thread you've better eat your minerals, 'cause I think it's gonna get rough.

Ernest, I think you meant vitriolic and I really don't feel too bitter. I just am pissed enough to want Sommers to give me back two hours of my Van Life. No wait, I am vitriolic. Michael
I am glad I have provided so much fodder for you guys to banter over. All I am trying to say is that the cgi looked lazy throughout the film. I don't think that has anything to do with the (wannabe) campy style of the flick (it's just that they were too cheap to make that scene look good). I...
I too like the idea of the multiple silent tracks seperating out the "hidden track." It makes life so much easier when making mix discs. I really do love them when I find 'em on the first listen (except for Becks Odelay where it's just annoying). Michael
After wasting my Friday morning (opening day) seeing this film all I can say is that I wanted my Van Money back. It felt like I watching someone play a video game. It could have been so much better if they made it more schlocky. As it is, it felt like it took itself too seriously at moments that...
I have to agree with David James on the issue of reviewing the element/transfer etc. in the "HT Software" section. I thought the "Movies" section is where we discuss/review movies. Whether people are "fanboys" or not, I would think that they could review the software properly (provided that they...
Scott, I really enjoyed your review of School of Rock and in particular your attention to the commentary track. It's great to belong to a forum that addresses this often neglected feature of dvds. I think I rent this one as I don't think I will watch this one again (although I had a fun time...
