It's a complex issue, and it gets right down to the nitty-gritty of the friendship the two authors had. Tolkien loved almost all of Lewis' work, though he seemed to resent the celebrity that surrounded Lewis' theology/apologetics. Tolkien was intimately involved in Lewis' re-discovery of Christ...
Thanks for all the info, guys. I'll probably use the 5jrs as surround speakers if I ever upgrade to a HT amp, but that'll be a while. I'll check out the polk site for that tweeter. (I guess I should also replace the grille for one of the 7s...) Would stuff like this be cheaper to get...
I'm living with my grandparents for my first year of university, staying in a log cabin a little ways from the house. I like log cabins, and I don't mind splitting firewood, so I've been looking forward to this all summer. But nothing could have prepared me for the discoveries I've made... My...
Jeff, those are FNP 90s. Not french, belgian. ;) If they attempt to make me believe anyone other than the MacGyver is MacGyver, I'll stop going to movies altogether... RDA is young enough to do SG1, he'll be fine. Harrison Ford almost looks ancient in comparison, and that didn't stop him...
Hmm... I'm noticing a distinct lack of content here as well... I suppose the lack of commentary tracks or features on the first disc means that we'll get a really nice bitrate, but this is still a very dissapointing set of specs. Unless those docs are as long as revisited... Has anyone...
Ghost in the Shell was also one of the major influences on the plot and style of The Matrix, along with W. Gibson's Neuromancer, which GITS was based on... Anyway, are there any other special features on the animatrix DVD? Any commentary tracks? Any W. Brothers interviews?
Here's hoping for at least one commentary on Iron Giant SE... The film stands up pretty well on it's own, but to learn more of the nitty-gritty details would be spectacular. I just hope they don't fill the disc with more fluff; this film deserves to be treated as the best we've ever seen from an...
Yawn... What a waste... Not that the plot itself was terrible or anything- I actually rather enjoyed the episode. But why would they use Rura Penthe for this twenty-minute prison scene involving the most boring prison escape in recorded history? Don't these writers have any respect for the...
I'm also agains jewelcase on every level- not only the most fragile storage format around, but it's also difficult to get liner notes out of a jewel case. I like amray, because it's durable and easy to use, but I like Digipak because of overall presentation quality. The slipcase and quality...
I though the oscars were, quite frankly, the most boring they've been in a while. It probably had something to do with the tired rants from the celebs; but there seemed to be a lack of film-related 'content'. Just a list of nominees and an acceptance speech. The few shorts they did were good: I...
considering the pixel-based video format used for DVD, I would have to say that it's an impossibility. Even most film prints are digitized at some point, aren't they?
I grew up watching this film on a poorly recorded(incomplete) VHS tape, so I think the DVD transfer looks pretty good ;) That said, a top-notch transfer with a dts track would make me re-purchase. I like this film most because of the ending: it ties all the plot, photography, and score work...
It's interesting to note that BVHV just released their first single-disc "vista series" title, Signs. This release could easily have been enhanced by putting the special features on a second disc, adding a commentary and dts track, upping the bitrate, and giving us real packaging. It seems that...
sigh... I saw the Sixth Sense on TV a few years ago, and though I don't really go for the "supernatural thriller" genre, I loved the way it was written and produced. The Unbreakable came out, and I was hooked. Everything about the movie screams of style, imagination, depth, and insight...
