If there's a director's cut, hopefully it's longer. I'm not saying that it needs to be longer; I love it the way it is. I've seen it twice now, and I can't wait to own the DVD to watch it again. It felt like a fairytale. The similarities with Gump are there, but since the movies are going for...

Awesome! But hasn't this been scheduled and pulled at least once before?

I haven't bought any of the Universal sets because of their recent (or not, depending on how long your memory is) track record with quality. I also don't care much for their packaging; I prefer individual movies in individual cases, if at all possible. Of course, that didn't stop me from buying...

I'm still a little shaken up by the movie. It really makes me want to help make the world a better place. It's exiting that we've had two major movies about Africa in the last year; maybe the middle class western world will start getting the idea that things aren't ok around the world. The...

I think that I'm going to sit out this next round altogether. I've invested quite a lot of money in my collection, which is around 850 movies now; I'd like to not repeat the process again so soon. I'm sure I'll be drooling with some titles like Lawrence of Arabia, but I'm not sure that I'm...

Slane without a doubt. Boston is OK, but Slane feels like being at the concert. I put the Slane DVD on once a week; I love the energy that the crew was able to capture.

I'll be there 1/2 day on Thursday and all day Friday - Sunday. I don't post much, but I'd love to meet the people whose insights I enjoy reading so much. I'm especially looking forward to meeting the co-creator of South Park. :) Fred

My seats were in the mid-upper balcony. But at least I was on the aisle and could stretch out a bit :)

I attended the concert last evening in Columbus, OH. It was marvelous! I had never been to a show with a longer standing ovation. Howard Shore is definitely loved for his work on these movies. The lady who did the singing was stunning. I preferred her versions of Gollum's Song and Into the...

Got my tickets!

I loved the movie, but I couldn't help but be reminded of the movie Mannequin when Sam was rushing up the tower stairs to save Frodo: "This one's for Rambo, and this one's for my momma!"

I wonder what the motive behind this is? I mean, I understand wanting to honor/perserve his father's legacy, but if J.R.R. himself ok'd movies, I think the son should get out of the way.

I would definitely protest should no theatrical version be made available. In the years to come I want to have the version that was nominated for awards, etc to show to my children (should I ever have any :) ) It annoys me when director's cuts (or extended, et al) are provided without the...

Initially the the (mis)quote was: "Are you lookin' at me?"

Thanks for the help, guys! It turns out there were several problems. The first was that I had both the digital and analog sound slots filled. The second is that I had to not only tell the receiver that I was using the first optical sound slot, but that I also wanted digital sound while playing...

Thanks for the reply! I couldn't figure out the instruction booklet, so I was trying to use both an optical and analog connection to the receiver. I wasn't sure if because I am using a optical connection that I don't need the analog connections at all. On the 811 there is the DVD audio left and...

I have the following equipment: Mitsubishi 65 inch Widescreen TV Pioneer VSX-D811S Panasonic DVD-CP72 Sony SA-WM40 Subwoofer JBL N28 fronts JBL N-Center JBL N24 for surrounds and rear surrounds Anyway, I can only get the front left and front right speakers to work. I'm either...

I recently read Oedipus the King and was struck by similarities Minority Report has with the play. Although Oedipus receives the prophecy of killing his parents before he is even born, it is similar in that John and Oedipus try to avoid doing what is prophesized. Through their actions, they...
