I wish I could have THAT 2 hours back. Not one inch of original slapstick. Just a big teenage tits and ass movie that insults young people. I suppose teenagers like it because it has "boobies" but it certainly is not entertaining for anybody with an IQ over 70.

Dave Hahn - nice post. People actually whined here about The Patriot? Even with the explaination on the DVD? sheesh As long as the film is not called "TRUE STORY" people have to lighten up and remember - IT'S ENTERTAINMENT not a documentary.

This post from a below thread says a lot. Read and do your own DD before making the jump. You can't just go to a store without knowing the facts. ----------------------------------------- HDTV primer based on 2 years of viewing in the BalWash area. If you need convincing about what HDTV...

DVD's are widescreen something like 1.78-1 Dolby but not 5.1 - still better then off the tube though

Rick - I still like U-571, no matter what the Brits say LOL. My father-in-law (Mel Jacob) is a living survivor of the USS Indy, he was a marine on the ship. At the moment there are two studios bidding for the rights to his and other survivor stories. One company (the BIG one) wants a...

What is the proper order?? The StarGate website lists them in that order? Jeff - I'm 3 years behind! I have the best of all worlds - I've only seen like 5 or 6 total episodes at random. Not having Showtime and I missed it, then just didn't pay any attention to it in syndication. My...

Gotta agree with rick - but then all my life I thought Betsy Ross made the American flag and I find out she made flags but not that one. Some noname guy made it. Our history is full of wrong information. :-(

Excellent post Tom - a problem I think is happening is that consumers are being sold small HDTV's (27inch) and I don't think you can really tell THAT much difference between digital and HD at that size. Larger then 36 and there is a big difference but most "average" people (when compared to...

I read the book twice before I saw the movie. The problem is that the movie would have to be 8 hours long to cover the details the book went into. Stephen Ambrose is a fantastic author (his dad was my mom's dentist lol) and his books are always a good read. Band of Brothers (the TV show)...

The problem with syndication is you don't get to see the shows in proper order. That's why I bought the box set. I don't have Showtime and syndication was either random or they would play them in order every night and I would have to record them. I consider SG-1 is on of the best Sci-Fi...

Mike - Correct me if I'm wrong but Cable does not have the band width to carry HD. The tech at Charter told me they have no plans to go HD. I think we're in for a war between cheap digital that looks outstanding and expensive HD which looks "slighty" better on small sets and much better on...

I have 6 dwarf rainbows that seem to add bass when the are facing the side of my 50g tank. During movies I have to keep entertaining them so the sound does not fall off. Water get's a little murky at times! ------------------------- OK OK! Not a problem, I'm sure then did not appreciate...

Just my personal views. LOL - excellent questions with so many answers it's silly. I'll tell you MY personal thoughts. IF you want a great picture look for progressive scan sets. To me that was more important then being HD compatable (I actually got interlace but thats another story)...

I'll look into it. Personally I'm addited to The Preacher. I loved Nexus when it was going. There are only a few comic books worth reading by a 48 year old! :-) 100 Bullets is a good one

I got a 25 pound bag at Copps!
