It would seem there would be a few different places a "cult leader" would fit in. The end of the world at the beginning of the story would easily tolerate a "The End is Nigh" type of cult. Put a different perspective on it, and it would easily fit the hyperintelligent philosophers from a...

A lot of good movies listed; here's a few that haven't been mentioned: Dr. Strangelove.... [George C. Scott]: But he'll see the big board! and later : We may find ourselves in a mine-shaft deficit! Pretty much the rest of the movie. Brain Donors Whole thing. Had to watch it twice just...

Amazing how tough it is to narrow it to ten! Donovan's Reef Pulp Fiction Monty Python and the Holy Grail Once Upon a Time in the West American Beauty Harvey Fifth Element Ronin Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Matrix

Does anyone know of an economic reason why 1939's Gone With the Wind would get an adjustment factor of 5.95 whereas 1956's The Ten Commandments would get a factor of 11.7? It would seem that pre-WWII and circa-Korea economies wouldn't be that different, certainly not massive deflation after we...

I sent in for the $10, got $5 back about three weeks ago. It would appear this rebate hasn't gone particularly well.:frowning:

Not only was I happy to buy both versions (with an effective cost of $4.88 for the theatrical cut; heck, you can't rent it that cheap), but I'd be happy to fork over a goodly sum ($100 give or take) should PJ decide to release a red leather-bound version with all movies edited seamlessly into...

Since Arlington Road has been mentioned, we better include the original Parallax View to the mix; IMHO, a better movie, anyway.

Looks great, though I must say that I really wished they came in a sort of Red Leatherette (or even textured to look like leather - just so long as they look like the "Red Book of Westmarche"). Who knows, perhaps that is in store for yet another release of the complete trilogy? With PJ such a...

Scott, I don't think you'll ever get to see a Cinerama screen, either. The last (or perhaps second to last) one, here in Omaha, NE, got torn down last fall. That's what we do to our State/City Landmarks. The theater was in poor repair, and (mis)managed by Carmike (@#%^@#$^$@#$!). It had too...

Looking through the Audio Home Recording Act of 1992, which is basically what establishes what has come to be (inappropriately, imho) known as "fair use" (literally defined by the Copyright Act of 1976, and extremely limited in scope), I came across this:

In response to a much earlier (rhetoric?) question:

How about 1989's "The Cook The Thief His Wife and Her Lover"? I am pretty sure that no characters are named in that one. Obviously, the four main characters are easily identifiable from their descriptions; but none of the other characters are named either. The "Wife" and "Her Lover" also don't...

It may not necessarily be the "best movie ever", but it is absolutely my favorite movie ever. Though not offended, and not exactly shocked, the ending did leave me, shall we say, "dumbfounded." I sat through the end-credits in a very subdued state of mind. Then I sat staring at a blank screen...

My $.02 I'm an avid reader. I greatly prefer books to movies as entertainment: I find myself almost living the lives, thinking the thoughts, and feeling the emotions of the characters for the duration of the book. If a beloved character dies in a (well-written book), I find myself distraught...

When I went to pick up my copy, they actually had two separate displays of "Holy Grail": On the front side of the display, where most new releases go, is the old "Widescreen Version" accompanied by the sale tag (properly labeled) showing a sale price of $19.99. Run around to the back of the...

By the way, I meant Home Depot, the $.34/ft variety. The stuff I got is definitely multicolored. I believe it was labeled "12/2 Speaker Wire". I tried to pull up the data on it from their web site, but crashed just before I could pull it up. I have a hard time believing cheap Home Depot bulk...

Just a question regarding the Lowes' wire (which I currently use): One of the wires is all copper, while the other is copper and aluminum (I assume - it's silver in color). Now correct me if I'm wrong, but don't copper and aluminum have some sort of weak electrochemical reaction on contact? I...

Looks great except...the SDRAM. Running a P4 with SDRAM is like buying a Corvette and running it on 2 cylinders (seriously, a P4 usually runs with 4 times the memory bandwidth, and it is a bandwidth hungry processor). If you are looking at Dell, that must mean that you don't have any desire to...

It will also run ever so slightly slower (1 - 4% or so). Not to mention that a great many consumer motherboards don't even support it. It is definitely not worth the cost for a home PC.

Funny, I never expected this warm of a reception for FF:TSW on this forum. I was a fan of the games and really psyched to see the movie, but was utterly disappointed. "One of the ten best movies of the year"? 2001 was not a good year for movies, but I could easily come up with a dozen movies...

I am not using my PC with a projector (or Progressive Scan, for that matter), but I can address some of your concerns, mostly depending on what you will be using your HTPC for. If the HTPC is dedicated for your HT only, you should have not problems with 1) and 2). 1) may be addressed in which...

The Sherbourn is a monoblock design amp; I believe the only shared component among any of the channels is the power cord. Also, most owners rave about it. Certainly worth taking a listen.

Since "search" is usually disabled, I will tell you what I "know" about these Outlaw products. Matrix-ing high-resolution analog sources (DVD-A and SACD) would be a total waste of the benefits of those formats. You don't want to take a high-quality DSD or 24/192 PCM and redigitize it as lower...

I love my Nomad II MG with that great Magnesium Case, 64MB shipped for about $230, but comp-u-plus has it for $185 shipped right now. It uses SmartMedia, which runs ~$80 shipped for 128 MB. It also allows playback of Microsoft WMA format files, which definitely sound better than MP3 at a given...

I don't know about the DVDs, but I heard that Music Artists don't get compensated for the CDs CH and and their ilk sell, something about "promotional" discs, or something like that. Anyone know if there's any truth in that, and how it might relate to movies?
