Ira, the Los Angeles Public Library has the DVD at a few branches. According to the online database, the Anchor Bay disc is available here: Atwater Village Branch Eagle Rock Branch Exposition Park Bethune Regional Branch Granada Hills Branch Harbor-Gateway Branch Library Central...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcasting You don't need an ipod; you can use the audio on any portable player, or listen on your computer. Here's a directory of different things: http://www.podcast.net/

I'm just getting into podcasting, and I was wondering what people are listening to. I've already checked out "Reel Reviews" and the HDTV podcast. Of course I'm interested in Home Theater type stuff, but I'll listen to anything that's interesting and well done.

That's a nice house. How much for shipping to Los Angeles?

One thing to be aware of is that the symptoms of ADD can be very similar to the symptoms of mild sleep deprivation. The tests for both can be almost identical! If you decide to get tested, be sure to get a good nights sleep for a couple of days beforehand (which means, at the very least, not...

Update: They started showing up this morning :rolleyes FWIW, I'm in Los Angeles.

It was my impression that the Saddam in Canada episode had been prepared as a joke on no one knowing where Saddam was, and then he gets caught a few days before it airs! So they just dubbed in some jokes about what he said when he was caught or something.

I've only been using Netflix for about 5 weeks. Usually, I send the discs out Monday, and have a new batch by Friday. Last Monday, I sent 3 discs in, and now, a 8 days later, they still don't show as having been received. Do they ever take this long, or are the discs probably lost?

I've had the ClearPlay DVD player for about a year. Here are the movies my 7 and 5 year old watch that would otherwise be forbidden: - Back to the Future (1&3, they don't care for 2) - The Goonies - The Mummy ('99) - The Mummy Returns - ET - Indiana Jones movies - Pirates of the...

Definitely spend some time on Ebay. I've found some fantastic watch deals in the last year.

Interesting discussion. I've ordered the book mentioned, and I'll refer to the opinions expressed as we go through the seasons. And I'll think about checking out the first movie as well.

Is there a recommended site that rates the quality of the episodes in the original series? On a lark, I started renting the episodes for my 8 year old son, and now we've watched a couple (we're going in order, and we just watched the one about the planet of kids with pubescent-onset skin...

I collected Laserdisc for years, and wasn't thrilled when DVD came along, so I haven't really bought tons of DVD's. Maybe 50. But I rent a ton, and use Netflix like an addict. I intend to buy an HD-DVD drive for my HTPC, and a PS3, and then I'll rent whatever I want to watch. Format war...

It might be just me, but if you look at the scoreboard before the ball goes in, it doesn't look that close. The score on the left looks like "104". Or is the camera smearing it?

I need to get some new sunglasses for when I'm driving around town. I don't feel compelled to spend a fortune, but I'd like something that is a little stylish.

Look in your owner's manual, and do what it says. Also, there is a whole forum of nuts devoted to discussing all things motor oil: http://theoildrop.server101.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php with the home page here... http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/ Lot's of good info.

2.35:1 and 1.85:1 have no "height" and no "width". They are ratios. It would be like saying that squares are taller than rectangles. It means nothing. The "height" issue for Jurassic Park was that the dinosaurs are really tall and narrow. Expressed as a ratio, dinosaurs were usually closer...

Can someone explain to me how the Enhanced Home Theater mix is any less of an abomination than a pan-and-scan or colorized DVD?

Larry, you must check out the book Carter Beats the Devil It is a fantastic story set in the world of vaudeville magic of the 1920's. I don't want to give too much away by describing it, so just trust my recommendation and get it. It is very entertaining, has some great twists, and has many...

I need to get some R2 (PAL & NTSC), R3, and R4 (PAL and NTSC) players. Both older and newer models. I'm most interested in the best selling ones. What would be the best way to go about doing this? What are the best online retailers? Are there any members of the forum that would like to make...

So how about mechanical buffers? I've been doing the 3 step process for a couple of years (twice a year), and now I've got 2 cars and just don't have the time to to it by hand. Are there any economical buffers that do a good job?

Ben Affleck on Pearl Harbor (with Josh Hartnett). The sure sign of a good commentary is when, half way through, they say, "There's no way they're going to use this commentary on the DVD..."

After ruminating on the recycling problem for a while, I recommend the following excercises for anyone wary about these discs and their impact on the environment: 1. The next time you go to the grocery store (or Wal Mart), look in your cart at checkout. Observe the volume of packaging that...

Since I never seem to watch the movies I buy more than once, and I hate late fees and returning discs, this sounds like it might be interesting. But the question is: pan and scan, or letterbox? Are they expecting J6P or HTF to go for this? And what about all those wasted discs? Will there be...

Unless you're willing to spend thousands of dollars for a scaler, I think you're SOL. Samsung has a DVD player that will scale to 1080i, but your DLP needs a different native resolution. I've been using HTPC for about 6 months (Win98SE, AMD 1ghz, Radeon 7200, SB Live), and after tweaking, it has...

I'd like to add my voice to the "no big deal" crowd. While I have every respect for "vision", "dreams", and the "conquering spirit", I don't think others' visions and dreams should be hoisted on the backs of the unwilling, taxpaying public. With all that is going wrong in this country and...
