    Win a Pioneer Elite SC-95 Dolby Atmos Receiver

    I've collected a handful of movies on Atmos (plus the one DTS:X title). My 14' vaulted ceiling is crying out for some speakers to fill the void up there with great sounds. I'm saving for an Atmos upgrade but you know how those unexpected expenses crop up, so that SC-95 would be fantastic...

    Win a Denon X5200W 9.2 channel Dolby Atmos AVR with a copy of Insurgent on Blu-ray!

    I'm rocking a 7.2 setup right now and the best way to take it to the next level is to add 4 ceiling channel speakers! My multi-use living room has a cathedral ceiling so I'm really looking forward to adding that height dimension. The wife is not happy about me wanting to add to what we have or...

    Grimm Season 2

    Ok... after a little more looking it looks like ROF *is* Volcanalis, retitled. That's actually nice, b/c I forgot to remove the ROF recording from my DVR and it wouldn't have recorded the episode with the same title in place, I think.

    Grimm Season 2

    What in the world has happened to the episode "Ring of Fire"? I got a new episode "Volcanalis" on the DVR last night. Figured I'd go to nbc.com and try to stream ROF, but it doesn't even show there at all. In fact, the episdoe guide for Grimm doesn't even show it, it has 217 "One Angry...

    Arrested Development: Season 4 (Netflix)

    Those episode titles strike me as "working" titles, more than real titles. Hurwitz & crew have more creativity than that, and previous season ep. titles are nothing like that.

    Win a copy of The Orchestrion Project on Blu-ray

    Very cool, been looking for more jazz on Blu-ray, Pat has been a great musician from his collaborations with avante gardists like Ornette Coleman and Derek Bailey to his more accessible PGM stuff with Lyle Mays.

    Grimm Season One

    I've been watching Grimm from the start and love the tone and emerging mythology, so reminiscent of the Angel/Buffy stuff that I miss. And funny you mentioned that - I just started rewatching Buffy S1 last week (first time to rewatch since it aired) and have such mixed emotions seeing Calendar...

    Covert Affairs - USA

    I enjoyed the pilot enough that I'll be checking out coming episodes. Piper Perabo is pretty good as the ingenue, neo-Sydney Bristow. As someone said, she does a very good job with facial expressions already so I expect it to be fun watching her aliases. I never saw Jake 2.0 so I remember Gorham...

    V - Season 1

    Definitely a "warmer" lighting in the first screencap. Also, her hair has just a bit more longer wisps (neck, in front of ear) that give it a softer, more feminine look. Finally, the high, closed neck of her uniform looks a bit harsher than the open neck. But I think the lighting and angle is...

    Flash Forward - season 1

    I was really looking forward to FF before the season. It started out not too bad, but then what Tony D says above took over. I gave up last week - just seems too much like writers using the show as their therapy session or something. I swear the recent TV season, at least the new "genre" shows...

    Now that the Hi-Def transition has happened

    It wasn't an HD transition, it was a *digital* transition. They are not the same thing. You can broadcast SD video digitally. This move is mainly about reclaiming analog broadcast frequencies so they can be used for other purposes.

    New Joss Whedon show announced: Dollhouse

    Haven't seen the latest ep yet, but just to throw out something to consider on this point about a "bit for bit" copy of a brain (granting the assumption that such a representation can be done in the first place) being a real clone. Not long ago we would probably have thought the same with...

    Britain's Got Talent 2009

    Thanks for posting the Susan Boyle link, Francois. My mom was just telling me about that this evening - neither of us gets or watches BGT, she had heard it on the radio. Pretty stunning. I do find it amusing though that this comes a year or two after the Paul Potts discovery when they were...

    Fakey "video" processing of film, or just bad cable signal?

    Can't say for sure, but: 1) You might want to post this in the display forum with your specific model # 2) Samsung has in the past had processing that couldn't be turned off, I have no idea about your set but it sounds suspiciously like that 3) Your test with old Sony CRT seems to confirm...

    Merlin US Premiere announced

    Nice to see Anthony Head there; haven't seen him over here since Buffy ended so I'll at least take a look.
