    Breaking Bad Season 3

    The attempted hit on Hank was just about the most tense thing I've seen in TV show. Although Hank is a central character its not inconceivable that he could be killed off; unlike Walt who in a similar situation you know has to live for the show to continue. One thing I didn't see anyone mention...

    *** Official THE HAPPENING Discussion Thread

    I'm surprised by some of the comments I've read on here.. but to each their own I guess. In my opinion this was bad on an epic scale. When a big movie comes out people who don't like it often make gross exaggerations about how much they disliked it. But in this case.. I couldnt believe the...

    Live Free or Die Hard (2007)

    If thats true its the lamest thing I've read in awhile. I can just see half the audience letting out a giant "booo" during that moment since its going to draw so much attention to what they did to get the rating.

    Live Free or Die Hard (2007)

    I think the worry is they will find a creative way to cover up the motherfucker part of it. Which is going to draw a lot of attention to it and create a groan moment. I hope they get away with actually putting it in as the mpaa lets them get away with 1 or 2 f words. But usually the...

    Live Free or Die Hard (2007)

    I just checked out the official website and it lists the rating as pg-13. :-( I want to not see this and encourage all my friends to stay away as well, but I'll probably cave. After all watered down Die Hard is better then no Die hard. Hopefully despite my business the movie will fail in such...

    HDMI Switcher Recommendations?

    I thought I would chime in here since I was looking for a switcher. Not nearly as cheap as the monoprice, but Bestbuy carries a switcher with remote for 200 found in the videogame section. Obviously thats significantly more, though I picked it up because it also has ports for toslink. It has...

    Toshiba 7990: XviD playback is stretched vertically -- Thoughts?

    It sounds like an issue with the files themselves. It sounds like the files are anamorphically enhanced but the dvd player is not recognizing them as such. Not sure what the solution is.

    cable channels going HD

    I don't know if this is news anyone cares about here, or if this news is not something already known. But at a departmental meeting I heard there are officially plans now for a network to switch both their 24 news network and their 24 hour business news network to hd next year. Obviously I'm...

    Emmy Nominations 2006

    I understand the sensitivity. But it was short notice. And you have to figure more people died this weekend in car crashes. If there had been a skit involving a car crash would that have been insensitive? I think this is too much for family and friends of the victims to see, but they probably...

    2006 at the Box Office

    While that was certainly true of the Matrix sequels I think there is just too much business for Pirates. It shows that there are repeat viewings going on. Obviously a large number of people (myself included) really enjoyed the sequel.

    *** Official PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: Dead Man's Chest Discussion Thread

    I disagree with the assessment that the movie is trying to setup Jack as the bad guy. I do agree that Davy Jones is not necessarily the bad guy. But clearly Lord Beckett is. It was hard to follow the plot, but it was apparent that Lord Beckett is not ridding the world of pirates for good. He...

    *** Official PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: Dead Man's Chest Discussion Thread

    Although I agree with the problems everyone has mentioned with the film (length, convulted plot), I think that when the movie works, it really works and I can't wait to see it again. I am a little aprehensive about the 3rd movie though. The problem I agree with the most is that the vilain in...

    *** Official PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: Dead Man's Chest Discussion Thread

    I mentioned he was not a pirate not to suggest he isnt quick or clever like Jack, just that not being a Pirate he would have no knowledge of the legend of the flying dutchmen or davy jones.

    *** Official PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: Dead Man's Chest Discussion Thread

    Perhaps Will is fooled so easily because unlike the other characters he was not a pirate/sailor origininally.
