    Robert Harris on The Bits - 6/6/05 column - OFFICIAL THREAD

    Jay, yes it is the same documentary that has played on the Encore/Starz networks over the last few months. It has become an automatic stop everytime it is on. One of the best docs I have seen about the movie making process. My favorite parts are the early history of the editor (mostly women)...

    Help with cable install

    I'm posting here in hopes that some of the more experienced installers/builders have experienced something like this. Here is the current situation I am dealing with in trying to get CATV/Internet into my condo. I just moved into a condominium that "appeared" to have two cable outlets, one...

    The Definitive 80's DVD - TV Animated Series & Specials List

    What about Kidd Video? If I remember correctly, the storyline was some kid at home getting sucked into a "music video" and he's transported into this "bad drug haulcination" of an alternate world. I remember he had a couple of friends he made in the world and had to defeat an evil promoter. That...

    Which out-of-print DVDs do you regret not buying?

    I couldn't believe my luck today: My local BB had a copy of the Criterion: Hitchcock Collection! If I hadn't read this thread, I never would have picked it up. Now if they would just put out that copy of The Killer that I know has to be lost in the back somewhere...

    Hot Deals from TV Authority on the Infocus 4805 and more!

    WOW! That was my initial reaction after seeing this projector in action. If you are unsure and live in the Sacramento,CA area, Magnolia Hi-Fi has a room setup with the 4805 and 5700. I was very impressed with the detail and length of the viewing angles. They had Freaky Friday (Jamie...

    DVD Rental vending machine at local grocery store

    At least 5 years ago (probably closer to 10), there was a store in my area called Video-O-Matic. It was a self-service video store. The title boxes were scattered along the wall so you could see what was available. You would purchase a debit card, put it into the machine and punch in the number...

    RP: What Should I Avoid?

    Rather than ask what I should get, I am taking a different tack and asking if there are any Rear Projection TV's I should stay away from? I am moving into a new condo in a few weeks and I want to pick out my new television and have it ready to go when I move in. I am looking at between a...

    HTF Anime Discussion Part VII

    John: Probably the SE because I like to have the box to store all the volumes in. I loved the original and was drooling after reading an article about the sequel and the series. Alanna: Nope, haven't worn it b/c it's a little small. As for Najica, well the SE for vol 1. came with a pair of...

    HTF Anime Discussion Part VII

    Tony: Thanks. Alanna: If you want, you can have my Witch Hunter Robin T-Shirt. Or if you prefer I can send you the extra from the Najica: Blitz Tatics vol 1. spec. ed :b Figurines can be nice, but they just become another thing to dust. My one got to have, must have? A model (preferably...

    HTF Anime Discussion Part VII

    Hi everyone! It's great to see a lively anime discussion thread. My favorite On-Disc Extra was the additional commentaries by the English language voice actors on the Death and Birth of Evangleon discs. It was great to hear them admit they weren't sure what was going on! Favorite...

    Best Buy and SACD player ce775

    Thanks to Aaron, I went to my local CC and finally picked up my CE775. I paid $129 + $30 for the warranty. It sounds great so far, although it will get a better break-in over the weekend. One upgrade down, one to go (the speakers) and with the savings on the player I'll be able to get those...

    Where are the live concert DVD-A/SACD's?

    Does anyone know why we have not seen more live recordings released in a multi-channel format? The two would seem to be a perfect fit. I can imagine listening to the "Doors in Concert" recording and hearing the band coming from the front, the crowd reacting in the rear channels, giving you the...

    THE BEST CDs OF 2002

    The recordings that I'm wearing out the most: Aimee Mann - "Lost in Space": Great, haunting vocals with instrumentals that sound fresh and familar at the same time. Norah Jones - "Come Away with Me": Started me on a new Jazz kick. Coldplay - "A Rush of Blood to the Head": Great followup to...
