There's a trailer up for Manderlay (the sequel to Dogville) here. Some (most) people might find the trailer to be a bit offensive, so keep that in mind before you click the link.
Barco and Christie seem to be the two main competitors in this arena of projectors. Maybe the closest to what you're looking for is the Barco iCon H600, a 1920x1080 LCD projector with 6000 lumens and an MSRP of $45,000. Most of the other sub-$50k HD projectors I could find probably don't have...
Ric: From the running time listed, I believe the edition reviewed here also has same the extra footage as the international version. There's a page which has the script and screenshots from the additional scenes available here. Basically there's five different R1 releases: The Professional -...
Some video sources can pass a "blacker than black" signal, which is sometimes used for the letterboxing bars. Usually when sets are calibrated, a PLUGE pattern is used to display a "blacker than black" background as well as a series of bars. The "black" bar is then calibrated to be...
This is harder to explain unless you have an understanding of how anamorphic video works. Basically it means the BenQ will always be 4:3, but you can put it in 16:9 mode to squeeze anamorphic video back to 16:9 and add bars on the top and bottom of the picture, but you still keep some of the...
The 4805 has a Faroudja DCDi video processor, which are pretty well respected. However, do you really plan on watching a lot of interlaced sources on your projector? With all the other factors, I don't think the Faroudja would be the determining one for me. Infocus 4805: Native Resolution...
Kourtrajmé - Thé à La Menthe I noticed the same thing about the statuettes. Also, I felt that that scene in general was just extremely poorly done with the really CGI-looking lasers (which is really more the fault of the director and SFX crew than Vincent Cassel). I definitely enjoyed the...
While it's true that a transfer won't be higher resolution than it's source, consider the following situation: A movie studio makes the final render of their all CGI film at 4096x3112 (4k) for the transfer to film. This movie is being shown on film and digital, but the digital projectors only...

Ted: I got a clear case from ClearPS2 / ClearXbox when they were a little less expensive (preorder phase). I like it pretty well, it's not "smoke clear" like the Crystal or Halo Xbox, it's just pure clear. Also, it does not replace the bottom/back portion of the Xbox, but from normal viewing...
GOB did the chicken dance in episode 15 of Season 1, Staff Infection:
:D Also loved the callback to people using the stair car to jump fences in this episode.
Some of my favorite things from the episode:The "Solid as a Rock" motto (Will Arnett does the "Like A Rock" truck commercial voiceovers)Buster in a Buster Keaton gag (standing in a window of a falling facade)Subtitled "?" on the Mexican TV spot
I don't think the Mortensen:Hidalgo::Monaghan:Lost analogy really works. For one, Hidalgo was a critical "meh", pushed as a family-friendly action flick, that was expecting people to go pay money to see it. Lost is a critical hit, targeted as a more mature mystery/drama/adventure, which is...
I'm starting to work through these again, picking up from where I left off at the end of S2, and I noticed a little continuity goof on S3's "Happy Birthday and Too Many More". At the beginning of the episode, Laura talks about how it'll be great for the kids to go to Dizzy Land, ride all the...
On the audio thing, could they be pulling most of the audio off the track for what goes to air on the radio (I don't know, as I've only seen about 5 minutes total of the E Show)? Because if so, it might be that the bleeped audio is just what they have to work with, that is, they don't have a...
IFC seems to play The Thin Blue Line quite often, as I've seen it show up there on my program guide quite a few times before. It's also coming up again in a few days:

I thought cheek at first as well, but later (I believe somewhere in the subway sequence) I noticed that there was a large chunk missing from Vincent's left ear, so I'm pretty sure that's where he was supposed to have been hit.
It's a standard shooting and self-defense technique. Usually known as a "failure (to stop) drill" or more recently a "Mozambique Drill", the "two to the center of mass (then optionally assess the target), one to the head" technique is often taught and practiced in shooting classes.
Honestly going by the trailers I'd seen I had low expectations for this, both on the front of developing actual characters and whether being shot digital would get on my nerves. The movie shot down both worries and excelled. Mann mixes digital and film pretty effectively, and the mostly digital...
Overall, this film left me unimpressed. The plot is established in a predictable manner, and then goes nowhere. The same plot points are reinforced and played out over and over, with little effect of advancing the movie, characters, or impact at all. There are some truly enjoyable moments, but...
