I've decided to wait a little longer -- I think a Laser TV is going to be the answer for me, but I don't feel like the timing is right just before the holidays. I use it my home theater a lot during the Christmas break (kids home from college, etc.) and I don't want to be re-working things at...

It does appear you're supposed to use an ambient light rejecting screen.

Looking very hard a getting this now. Would appreciate a flood of insights from the forum here. I've been happy for years with my Epson. What does Laser really mean for me? My set up has a ceiling mounted short throw, about 11 feet from screen. Does Laser mean it has to shoot from below? I...

Hub, hub, hub, hub!

I'm not the one to answer about other alternatives out there. Just wanted to post that my Elite (with hub) still works like it was newly introduced tech.

This movie makes me sad -- as a huge Bela Lugosi fan, it was the under-performance of this movie that I associate with his different path from Boris Karloff. I think Bela was a singular talent, and his 1930's films are great, but for some reason he couldn't quite catch a break career-wise...

I was clutching my pearls with a full-on case of the vapors. Having said that, I might consider skipping Rocky 2 and Rocky 5 in your journey. Rocky 2 is predictable and snoozy at times, and is very well recapped in Rocky III. (Rocky III makes a great sequel to Rocky in my view). Rocky IV is...

I highly recommend this to people as well. I'm an Altman fan, but on this one he experimented with dialog, sound recording, etc. and it doesn't quite hold up for a new viewer trying to follow.

Saw it today and loved it. I'm having trouble breathing when I read these posts about not having seen the previous Rocky films. Rocky is like a giant heroic battle that has played out over my whole life. I saw the first one at age 7 in the theater, so each of them since, and now enjoy them...

First one was good, second one -- they chose one of the weaker books. The story was just boring. The problem was not Tom Cruise. Jack Reacher has been demoted to to streaming, and Lee Child is trying to act like Tom Cruise was the problem? Tom Cruise playing Jack Reacher was a huge lift to...

Me, too. I got all caught up. Kind of sad.

They had to go ahead and get the film made before Mike Pence becomes the POTUS.

I'm a huge fan of this film (and of the Mighty 8th in general). This film was used for leadership training when I was becoming an Air Force officer. I found out later they also used it for my Dad (who trained in the 60's to be an Air Force pilot). The subtle ways it captures all the different...

Sergeant York is one of the major gaping holes.
