I was surprised this year beat last year. Last year had the final Star wars, two Spielberg movies Peter Jackson's King Kong. a Harry Potter film and some big surprises such as Wedding Crashers and Hitch. It seemed the only big names this year were going to be Superman, Pirates, Da Vinci code and...

My limited understanding is that there are 3 types of DVI cable. 1) DVI-A for analog signals, 2) DVI-D for digital signals and 3) DVI Integrated (DVI-I) which can carry both types of signals, analog and digital. If this is true then a DVI-I to DVI-D converter might not make a difference, since...

Is 499 and 999 msrp or street pricing. If the 499 gets discounted at 40 % off like the current a1, then that will put it around 299, which we cause me to jump in. I don't have a 1080p display , just 1080i 720p, and don't plan on buying a new display for at least 3 yrs. By then whoever wins the...

I thought maybe i was just getting old when i thought their doesn't seem to much originality in the movies. It seems most Hollywood movies are sequels, remakes of movies, TV shows, or foreign movies, based on comic book, novel,short story, graphic novel, or video game and sometimes they are...

It'll be an interesting year. I think after POTC opens, things might dry up. Wedding Crashers and and Charlie and the Chocolate factory opened in he second week of July, Meaning 5 200+ million grossers opened after July14. This year seams more front loaded with POTC, Cars and Superman coming...

I have this projector and had a very bad experience with it. I'm not the only one, If you go to avs forum and search benq 7700 you'll see many people with the same problems, there's over a hundred pages dedicated( mostly with compliats)to this projector. With me: 1)the first bulb burned out...

Here is an article I cut and pasted from yahoo movies news. I thought it might be of interest to people who were wondering how the international market was doing. I assumed the international market probably made up for domestic market decreases but it seems the international market decreased...

I have the December 2004 issue of Canadian Business in front of me and it listed Reeves as the 100 th richest Canadian at a net worth of 336 million CDN(about 290 US). It estimates Reeves got a net 220 million US from the Matrix. I 'd guess before taxes and paying his agent he probably took in...

So which classic Horror movies fro 70's and 80's are left to be remade: 1)Halloween. I hope they don't remake it, but with a cool name and music an October opening could be profitable and irresistible to studios. 2)Friday the 13th. Might be redundant with franchise still going with Jason...

I've never played Doom. What's it about?. Is it a adventure game like Tomb Raider or first shooter like Doom. Is it set in the past, present or future? I think one of the reasons Peter Jackson gets alot of accolades(Hence money from the studios) is because everybody believes he directed...

oops double post,see below

Star Wars series 2001 A Space Odyssey Titanic Indy Jones series Terminator series The Matrix series Good, Bad and Ugly Casino Rocky Six Days Seven Nights ( Don't ask, even I don't know why I like it so much)

Is the the International Box office down as well or just domestic? How about dvd sales and rentals? Do the studios just sell dvd to the rental shops or do they revenue share like they do with theaters.It would be interesting if anybody knows. Also it should be noted that while F911 and...

I guess I'm the only person here who will give it a scathingly bad review. Warning spoilers ahead and through out. I saw it yesterday and boy was I disappointed. The opening scenes in New York, and the boat were too long. I don't mind setting up characters as long as they are...

Here's what I noticed to create a big blockbuster: 1) 3-D animation for kids. Has any of these ever lost money. I know final fantasy did but it was aimed at adults. Throw in celebrity voices for ensured success. 2)Mythology set in an England type of environment. Star Wars had an English...

Emily's numbers would have surprised me, had I not gone to the theater yesterday. I went to the 7:00 PM show and it was sold out. When we left the show there was a huge line up for 9:45 show. I think it surprised the multiplex as well, since they only had it on one screen. I think the whole...

That's one of the things I could never understand, how one film could destroy a large studio. I remember reading, Carolco Pictures Inc. went bankrupt because of Cutthroat Island. But I thought they'd be able to take a hit after all they had made the Rambo and Terminator movies, probably two of...

And that doesn't include misc. items such as one of the best selling soundtracks of all time.

Damn, Terry you sure know your stuff. I didn't think you'd be able to answer all my questions but you did. Thanks a bunch. Now it would be interesting to know who are the A-list directors and what they make. If you know and are able to pass on the info it would be great.

I thought Ben Affleck would on the list with: Good Will Hunting, Armageddon, Shakespeare in Love, Pearl Harbor,The Sum of All Fears, and Daredevil being big grossers. Wasn't Vin Diesel offered 20 mil for XXX sequel? How about Jackie Chan. If Tucker gets 20, so should Chan. Out of...

I liked it but was disappointed. I thought it was gonna be a spectacle like Independence Day but with the seriousness of signs.Instead it was basically a signs remake. It seemed like the whole invasion was in the New York Area. I wanted a more global feeling to it. I didn't like the 911...

Yes, It was an impressive year and expensive. I'm fairly frugal but ended up spending hundreds. All amounts in Canadian Simpsons $45.00 South Park $45.00 Goodfellas SE $30.00 Shawshank SE $30.00 Ultimate Dawn of the dead $50.00 Top Gun SE $17.00 Matrix Trilogy $75.00 LOTR extended...

I'll look into those sites. Thanks for the recommendations.

I guess i'm interested in the business side of things. I was curious to know which DVDs are the best selling or rented of all time or on a yearly basis.I know box office mojo used to keep statistics of DVDs and VHS but stopped. It seems you can get box office stats everywhere including the...

I think the problem is that they are calling it the Ultimate DVD Edition. When I first heard the word "Ultimate" I thought it was going to be something like Alexander posted in post 866.The thing is people compare products to what's out there today.It may be similiar to NOES but that was years...

In the what's up section of IGN DVD last week it was reported that paramount was still in the discussion stages of what to put into the dvd. I don't think it will be out this year. I'd rather they do a proper job then try to rush it. But the SE has been rumered for so long it's getting...
