I stopped by Best Buy last night and picked up his latest CD, "Mitch Altogether." Included was a DVD with an uncut version of his Comedy Central special. The special that actually aired was cut to hell! The entire vibe of the show was lost after all the editing. He starts off bombing pretty...

I have tickets to the Saturday night show at the Improv in Baltimore. No one answered when I tried calling, nor is there a recording. Mitch has been a long time favorite of mine. I always get tickets when he comes to town and it never gets old. It's a shame more people haven't heard of...

It funny… the pre-recorded singing is about the least of what offended me about this NEW production. There’s not that much singing in the play anyway, but in the old version the live carolers singing in the background during outdoor scenes was an awesome touch! Now, that’s just totally gone...

Anyone ever see this show? When I first attended years ago I was blown away at what an amazing production this was. It became an instant holiday tradition for us to attend. One year I even went twice. I always raved about this play to people. A friend of mine was interested in seeing the...

I've been looking at this one by Ultralux. I was curious just how helpful it is with eye strain. The specs also says it's as bright as a 300w hallogen bulb... I'd like to know how accurate that is. Anyone ever try one of these? Thanks, Bill

I'm fairly certain two of my last rentals have ended up in the garbage... How much does Netflix charge for lost discs? Or does it depend on the movie? Thanks, Bill

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I didn't think of going to the store and talking to the manager. Think we'll give that a try Too often we just expect people to be both competent and honest. But this event is just one of many that has happened recently that makes me realize I need...

My friend bought and elliptical exercise machine back in July from Sears. The only reason she decided she could afford the machine was because Sears was running a special on certain exercise equipment... no interest, no finance charges, AND no finance charge accrual for one year on your Sears...

As much as I read the read HTF I hardly ever post anything. But after reading Ron’s opinion on Harry Potter I felt I had to say AMEN! I think I probably dosed off a few times and I saw my nephew squirming in his seat like he was bored silly. Then I read all the reviews about how great this...

I was rolling at the end when they said that no animals were harmed in the making of this episode... well except for the chickens we ate, and our sexy leather outfits, most of the food is catered and they serve some meat, and they went on and on... hilarous. I also liked how after each...

Well then... Let's go ahead and vote! Playboy's Girls of Tech TV

Without knowing for sure... that was kind of my guess. I was hoping someone here was going to tell me otherwise. My Panasonic E80h DVD-recorder has a separate black level setting for component out. I've been using it as my main player with the new projector. So I guess my next question is...

I just got a Dell 2200mp projector and was having trouble correctly displaying the Avia test pattern for brightness. The black bars would not be visible regardless of how high you set the brightness on the projector. Someone here on the forum gave me the excellent advice to change the black...

Russell, I bought the Da-lite high-contrast model B , 4:3 ratio, 60" x 80". This gives a 100" diagonal in 4:3. I bought it online Ritz Audio-Visual assosicates. I don't recall the exact price but I think it was roughly in the $175 range. As for my projector, I have a Dell 2200mp . Got a...

Hi Russell, I had the same issue and am interested to hear what others have to say on the topic too. I went with a ceiling mounted pull down screen mounted in front of my 60" TV. I still wanted to use the TV for sports and stuff, then I just pull down the screen when I want to watch movies...

Hey thanks for the info guys... Steve, you're suggestion was dead on. I changed the video black level on both my dvd players to "lighter" and the black bars in the test pattern appeared. I'm not excatly sure the purpose of those settings, but would like to learn more. Could either of you...

So after a weekend thoroughly enjoying my new Dell 200mp projector, I decided to pop in my Avia DVD and do a few tweaks. During the Black Bars + Half Grey test pattern for brightness I could not make the moving black bars on the left appear no matter how high I set the brightness on the...

Man... don't even play around like that! :laugh:

My screen just arrived! Guess I know what I'm doing tonight :D

Yep! I think my perceived complexity of projectors is what truly held me back. Truth is, there's nothing to it. Of course having our Dell rep trying to unload these things at a ridiculous price didn't hurt either. I found out my screen ships tommorrow. I'll post some more impressions when...

I’ve read countless people here giving the advice, “don’t get that expensive new TV... get a projector!” I typically dismissed it. Don’t know why but I just did. I like my TV... it’s just what I’m used to. Without going into a lot of detail, our Dell sales rep cut us a deal on their 2200MP...

Thanks for all the info everyone. And thanks for some REEL good ideas, Mike (ok, bad pun.) I like the video game idea. I actually have quite a bit of space to fill. I’ve searched a few other places online and I’m just shocked at how expensive some of this stuff is! I even saw a crappy little...

Hi all… Just finished my basement and moved all my HT gear down there and I’m looking to decorate the room with a theater theme. Can anyone recommend some good, reasonably prices places where I can buy some theater accessory items to decorate the room, i.e. signage, posters, concessions...

There's nothing wrong with popcorn! Orville Redenbacher's Light Natural Gourmet Popcorn only has 60 calories for an entire bag, is very low in fat, and high in fiber. It's the perfect healthy snack. It's all the garbage that people put on top of popcorn that's bad.

Match.com can be very frustrating. I sent out about 40 emails and received 2 replies. I have two other friends, one uses match.com and another uses matchmaker.com and they both report similar response rates. I have had three women initiate contact with me and two of them were quite hot :D Both...

I've met some really nice people through match.com but I've found the online services can become frustrating. Most of the more attractive women I've met have told me they can get upward of 100 emails a week. Chances are, your email just gets lost in the mix. Not getting a response to an email is...

Martin, I bought 24 blindly about a month ago and after I watched the first episode I couldn't turn it off. My friend and I would watch 4 - 5 episodes in a row... we simply could not turn it off. At the end of each episode one of us would always comment, "Ok... let's just watch ONE more." In...

Mark: While I'm not an expert videophile who can pinpoint the exact improvments, but I can say the picture is definitely sharper than the Sony and it seems as if the color saturation is better also. Bottom line, when watching a DVD the picture just seems to be more stand out impressive than...

I really had no intention of buying a new DVD player... But I read so many glowing things about the Panasonic CP72 and the price was cheap enough so I thought what the hell. Well all I can say is WOW! My main DVD player at home was an old Sony 7000 that I’ve had since 1997. I have a couple...

What great timing for this thread... They just found Bigfoot! http://www.msnbc.com/news/843929.asp
