Very short pause on my Phillips Magnavox 815AT just like any other layer change I've experienced. I agree with others that this has to be one of the worst places for a layer change ever. With 7 minutes left in the movie? Come on Disney!

Morgan, I have a hunch that those weren't fleas, but were probably fruit flies.

I should clarify, i'm looking for the telephone # I should call to cancel AOL.

Thanks for your replies!

I remember in an interview Steven Spielberg saying that if Lawrence of Arabia was made today, it would cost $200 million. I'm not sure if he ment with cgi or not. Could you imagine making Lawrence of Arabia with cgi Arabs and camels? It sure would take away from the magic of those long shots...

GWTW is one of my favorite films and always will be. The first time I saw this was on a Christmas Day on (TNT, TBS?) along with the phenomenal making of documentary a little more than a decade ago. I have been in love with it ever since and I've probably seen it 100 times and will probably...

Hey, I'll take the cheesy lines. I'll take em all. They've been a part of Star Wars from the beginning. Did everyone just suddenly forget what Star Wars is all about? It's been this way since ANH, I don't see George suddenly changing the original tone and taking out lines like "this is why I...

I'm just thinking right now how amazing this movie experience is going to be. I really, truly believe this is going to be what people were expecting with the first prequel. It's going to be fast, loud, intense, action packed, and I think it's going to carry that special aura of those little...

This movie looks so visually rich and alluring and seems to be dripping with atmosphere and it makes me wonder how much it all cost. Does anyone have a fair estimate how much deniro George threw down on this one? Something tells me it's more than most people might think.

I just want to add that I use my system primarily for movies, probably 80% movies, 20% music. What will give me the most improvement? New mains and center,surrounds, or should I get a new subwoofer? Does anyone know how good of a subwoofer the Atlantic tech is? It seems ok for music and...

Well guys, I have $1000, I'm going to list my components along with the speakers because I'm not sure I'll spend it all on just speakers, heres my meager system so far... Reciever: Harmon Kardon AVR 35 TV: Sony WEGA KV27FV16 DVD player: DVD815AT now on to my speakers... Mains: PSB 300ci (I...

Oops, I forgot one important thing, my subwoofer! it's an Atlantic Technology 262 PBM, I've had it for 3 years. It seems to be pretty good for music since its a sealed disign but I'm not sure how good it is compared to other similiarly priced subwoofers for home theater performance. It's...

Hi guys, I really would like your guys' opinion on my current system and where you think my weak spots are as far as performance. I have about $1000 to spend so right now I'm thinking either a new reciever ( my current one doesnt decode DTS) or a new subwoofer and better surrounds. Well here's...

I'm very partial to the opening of Once Upon a Time in the West, it takes it's time showing three henchmen waiting to take care of a little business with Charles Bronson. Great, great stuff by Sergio Leone. Enjoy.

Calgary's right here Max.:)
