    Sweeeeet, I've been waiting for "The Hill" for a long time. Great movie. Great ending.

    Mainstream DVDs you bought mostly for the nudity.

    I had to go get "Embrace of the Vampire" when I heard that I could finally see Alyssa Milano in most of her glory.:D Trace I haven't been able to get drunk enough yet to see Kathy Bates in "About Schmidt" though.

    After thousands and thousands, I have spent my last dollar at Best Buy

    I agree, I've been in retail for nearly 30 years and I'm amazed at how unwilling customers are to stand up for themselves and demand good service. They are almost afraid or apologetic. They are also amazed when I tell them that I can take care of any problem they have, "It's your money, you...

    The Sentinel

    God, I remember that movie. I couldn't shower without keeping my eyes open for weeks after!! Coincidentally, I had been to a circus side-show that summer and saw a guy with Elephant Man's disease, then when I saw the movie..there he was, as one of the demons swarming into the room....freaked...

    Fan me! Cool me!!

    I bought a small (4-6") clip-on fan and hooked it to the rack so that it blows right over the amp. You can barely hear it (you don't hear it at all with the movie on) and it was under $10.00. Trace

    Free to good home: Jim Carrey Standee; Raleigh, NC area

    You could also store it away. These are the knids of things that become very valuable in years to come. Imagine having an original piece of lobby art from "Casablanca" or "Star Wars". Granted these were bigger movies, but the day will come when a demand for "ancient" Jim Carrey stuff may be in...

    rope lights - silly question

    I found a product at my local Fred Meyer store made by GE. You plug the unit into the wall and then the rope light (or any other light source) into it. It comes with a small RF remote that lets you turn it on & off. Less than 20 dollars and a very simple solution. I keep the remote velcro'd to...

    Where's The Day After DVD?

    I was working in a grocery store the night this movie first aired. We might as well have been closed. I've been waiting 21 years to see this movie and I finally got too. I think it would have had more impact on me in '83 than it did last night but, it was still worth waiting for. What I found...

    Tarzan Boxset

    Paul, Thanks for the heads up. I have been a CH member for a long time but haven't made any purchases lately because they can't beat Best Buy. The BB web-site listed the collection at 69.99! Thanks very much. :-) Trace

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World" (Highly Recommended!)

    My Pioneer VSX-D812 went into DTS ES Matrix. No problem. I agree with Sean, ...amazing use of sound. To have the above deck noise sound as if it was actually coming from my ceiling was just incredible. The best use of DTS I've ever heard. Trace

    The Five Scenes You Use to Demonstrate Surround Sound

    I like to use both the DD & DTS openings of T2 Ultimate Edition to demonstrate the difference between the formats. Most people are stunned by the DTS demo. Trace

    What would you add to your theater?

    Mike, Don't discount bass shakers completely. I've noticed that the stores generally set them at too high of a setting. Mine offer a great impact because I have them set to only react to the lowest bass tones. Trace
