I stumbled upon this gem some months ago. It’s a short film. Very captivating. https://www.filmriot.com/blog/the-candidate-short-film/

I like to limit myself and stimulate my own creativity by going for primes. Makes you think more about composition. For weight, size, speed and sharpness, primes also win. They are the only way to go as far as I',m concerned. My nifty fifty is my most used lens of all, but I've set my sights on...

I would have to say humans on Mars. I'm in my late 30s and I'm starting to doubt I'll live to see it. The pioneering spirit when it comes to space exploration isn't what it used to be. Humans on the moon again, would be ok, too :-)

I just finished watching Prometheus for the first time. I had really high hopes for this, Being a fan of Ridley Scott and Giger's biomechanical art for many years. And lo and behold, almost all of my expectations were satisfied. What an amazing film. I'm really surprised by the antagonism...

Can't be any other than Eva Cassidy. /Lars

I've installed an ash wood floor in the bedroom and living room in our old house. In Scandinavia oiled wood floors are popular. They tend to feel much warmer than urethane treated floors and we fancy the natural look over the shiny floors. Also, if you put it on top of a concrete floor, the...

The toslink from the TV to the receiver would most likely be to output sound from your TV, to the speakers connected to your receiver. I believe newer TVs have a bi-directional HDMI connector that allows audio to be transmitted both ways, so in that case you wouldn't need the toslink.

Well, actually YPAO seems to do a little bit of both. Has anybody experimented with this? The established way of equalizing, is to damp frequencies rather than apply gain, I believe. Otherwise you'd introduce relatively more noise to the signal, right? So why does YPAO apply gain, at all? I know...

Hi, It's been a while since I last frequented this forum - I'm glad to see it thriving, still. Becoming a father of two kids has certainly limited the time for hobbies such as HT, photography among other things. For good or worse, it so happens that kids are growing older and dad is beginning to...

Hi Stan, There should be a "Sign out" or "Log out" button/link somewhere. That ought to take you back to the login screen without having to shut everything down.

I often wonder how much economic downturn there would be, if you took the media out of the equation.

I don't know if Prometheus is directly linked to Alien. I thought I read it somewhere, but I was too lazy to check the validity of the article. It'll be exciting to see where Fox will take the Alien series next. It's dead in the water as it is now. If for nothing else, hopefully money will...

john, my thoughts exactly. I sense some, perhaps, youth rebellion in Fincher's decision to kill off Bishop, Newt and Hicks. I can certainly understand Camerons critique - the killing of the crew sort of nullified the whole point of Aliens. One thing I have trouble understanding, is the fear...

Thanks for your comments. I wasn't aware of the Superman thing. I suspect filmmakers/studios would be a little reluctant to the idea, in fear of the destroying the whole illusion that cinema is. But in this culture of ours, shopping around and picking and chosing what we find useful, the idea...

Hi, I just picked up the Alien Anthology set on bluray. I'm extremely pleased with it! One thing that has come as a surprise to me is the incredible candidness of the supplementary material. Kudos to 20th for telling it like it was! Anyway, having been a long time fan of Alien and Aliens...
