    WHV Announcement: Green Lantern Emerald Knights (Blu-ray)

    I'm cautiously optimistic about the Green Lantern movie with Ryan Renolds. I'm not a fan of the CGI body suit at all; I much rather would like to see something organic, but I'll see the movie anyway because I'm a fan of DC comics in general. Emerald Nights will definitely be a blu-ray buy...

    plasma or lcd?

    DAVEF wrote: I think your info is about 6 years outdated and now irrelevant. All info now is that plasma lifespan meets or exceeds that of LCD. Or is it that you prefer plasma...and I suppose that is why Circuit City went out of business, because the majority of their stock of flat...

    "Green Lantern" movie news...

    Sydney is the best place to shoot a Green Lantern movie, especially if the budget is going to be that high. Fox Studios Australia was one of the best investments Fox ever made. I visited Fox Studios Australia first-hand back in 1999 while they were building sets for Attack of the Clones. Fox...

    *** Official STAR TREK (2009) Discussion Thread

    Han was in the Imperial navy before he became a smuggler. I'm pretty sure that that's a Lucas backstory rather than something made up by the author of a novel. Yes, I'm embarassed to know that. You're absolutely correct, Travis. Han was in the Imperial navy before he became a smuggler, and I...

    Spend my $5000

    I can help you spend, and get what you want for less than $5,000.00 . First, get a 7.1 sound system, and steer away from 5.1 sound systems. Because 7.1, that's the highest you can go. I've got the Onkyo 7.1 surround sound system with subwoofer. If you want to get into blu ray movies, get a...

    "Predator" reboot...

    While they are at it, they should reboot Superman and Predator at the same time and do a cross-over (Superman v. Predator). Or how about, Superman v. Aliens. The reboots are rehashing old material and hoping that it will be an improvement, or promising it'll be an improvement because it's a...

    When to calibrate and how frequently repeated?

    You may recalibrate your own equipment annually. Once a year is really all you need. You are only doing it for home use, so just put a day on your calendar for next year and you're in good shape. When I was projecting films for Hollywood stars like Michael Douglas, Keanu Reeves, Prince and...

    Stargate: Atlantis Season 5

    The two movies will be filmed at the same time during the Summer such that the casts and the sets for both shows can be easily interchanged. Presumably the cast of SG1 will have an extended cameo in the Atlantis movie and vice-versa. Stargate Atlantis has the upper edge, in my opinion, in...

    Smallville season 8 thread

    Chloe comes in and doesn't even mention her cousin( after she had already told clark not to screw around with Lois's heart) and seems to be all fine and dandy with them getting back together. What? And right when the writers were deepening the Lois and Clark relationship. I agree that...

    Warner may be ready to bring Babylon 5 to the big screen ????

    I worked on Babylon 5 for a period of time and even back then during the making of the original series the Producers talked about doing a major motion picture. I wouldn't put it past them, and I think there is a market for it.

    PS3 connecting to monitor. Help

    You want to use HDMI to connect the PS3. You will get the best quality that way. You will have to purchase it separately as the PS3 does not come with one. If your TV is a widescreen television with an HDMI input, use that. My PS3 is hooked up to my sound system, then through my sound system...

    plasma or lcd?

    Don't get the plasma. Plasma can leak. Go with the LCD. Longer life, overall.

    Cablevision IO DVR..

    Never experienced anything buggy with the moxi entertainment center. You may want to look into a moxi. It does everything a Tivo can do, well basically you can get up to (over) 500 channels. It's kinda the same thing as a Tivo but you can also get an HD hook up for it in the back (if you have an...

    Projector screen and projection calculator

    **I did my own screen. I build mine right onto the wall.** That is the way to go. You would do best to adjust your surroundings for this new projector. Some people have painted walls white (as a substitute for a screen).

    New Forum: UMD Movies

    Star Wars: Battlefront II. One of the best games I've played for the PSP yet. The movies look very good. The picture quality for "Sin City" was extremely crisp. A speaker attachment is a must to enjoy these films, unless you wear headphones. The Logic3 is fairly priced for the extra pump in...

    Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)

    Horror Movie Discussion Thread

    Resident Evil and The Grudge. In the spirit of "Ringu", the Grudge had all the right scares for me. The ending had a lot to be desired, however, and honestly, I was waiting for Sarah Michelle Gellar to do some hard-core Buffy action. Buffy reruns were spinning in my head despite itself. :angry...

    learning foriegn languages

    Well, I am no expert, but I should think that studying at home is a good start. I love the french language and I was in France two months ago. A good deal of the French I studied in college came back to me rather naturally, I was surprised, and I can read it pretty well. Whenever I had to ask...
