Time to bypass the Review thread for this one and just get into the spoilers and general discussion for Super 8. I saw Super 8 last night, and I LOVED it. The movie literally made me feel like I was 12 again, and that's a high compliment. You have to understand that I grew up w/Spielberg's...
I don't think there's one of us on here that didn't grow up with Star Wars -- The Originals, the Pre-Trilogy, or the Clone Wars. Odds are if you're a Home Theater guy/gal, Star Wars is on "the list". What about those of you with kids? Last year I introduced my oldest daughter to Star Wars...
Hey Everybody -- With all these great Blu-Rays coming from Disney, I thought I'd see if anyone out there has Disney Movie Rewards they aren't using. If you do, feel free to send them my way! I've had my account for awhile and realized I have over 2,000 points so far, there is some pretty cool...
Anyone see any PS3s at Costco in the last few weeks? I'm thinking about buying one this weekend, but am curious what the Costco pack looks like -- How much is it, what does it come with? I want to know whether I should wait to buy it at Costco, or buy it this weekend at 10% off retail...
I'm surprised I didn't see an actual thread for the Wii Sports title, since it's included in the pack. If I missed it, whoops. What do you like/don't like about Wii Sports? What would you change? Personally, I love the games. I've spent more time over the last two days playing that then...
I was one of the uninspired last year. Didn't wait in any lines for the XBox 360, and didn't wait for the PS3 this year. However, I did get my XBox 360 on New Years Day because someone on this forum posted "Check Walmart this morning!" So, let's dedicate this thread to finding a PS3. If...
With tomorrow being release day, we're bound to see about 20 different posts for release day experiences, I figured I'd start one up.... even though, ironically, I'm not camping out. Did a quick drive by Target, Best Buy, and Circuit tonight out of curiousity. I've got to say that allowing...
There are threads here, there, and everywhere about the differences between BD/HDDVD on machines, playback quality, and every little nitpicky thing about the formats. One thing that's been neglected has been the marketing angle. This last week has really felt like a seperator for the formats...
Thought I'd open up conversation on reward/rebate credit cards. For the last 5 years or so I've had an Alaska Platinum card that I'm thinking about losing. It's $75 a year, and the only benefit it has now is the $50 companion flight -- the 1st class upgrades were always "full", they took the...
It seems like each day, I get a little less interested in surfing the net. I'm sure a lot of it is that over the last 15 years or so the novelty has been wearing off, but the more I think about it, I'm not so sure. I was listening to Charlie Steiner on MLBs XM Radio channel, and Charlie was...
I'm thinking about losing the SkyFi2 I have currently. It's been constantly resetting and losing all of my pre-sets. I've noticed the quality of the sound through my tape adapter (I was told is better than FM Mod since it's direct) has been getting pretty poor -- either it's XM, or the receiver...
About 2 years ago, somehow my System 32 file got deleted or corrupted. I had the computer restored, then about 6 months to a year later, I was having problems with my scanner bridging again. The computer itself had been running OK, but now that my wife left her job to have our second kid, I...
http://msnbc.msn.com/id/11506178/ I liked Rock Star:INXS a lot. I liked INXS OK, but was never a huge fan, but having the chance to watch what was essentially karaoke was cool; the singers overall were pretty talented and I had a good time watching the show. Part of what made the show was...
Hi -- Had my Dell for about 2 years -- It's a 2Gig, 512K with a 60gig HD. Long story short, I had to restore it last year when it kept crashing, something about a System 32 file being deleted. Now, I'm having a problem with my All-In-One, it won't recognize the scanner (like before, when...
I just wanted to "shout out" about ESPN. Err... rather, I wanted to complain about ESPN. Will they please, please, go back to covering sports with out all the bullshit?! Can I just once watch Sportscenter without the constant interuptions for ridiculous nicknames and segways? "Kobe takes the...
Man, all of these "alien" shows are killing me! I've been watching Invasion, it's OK, but feels like a mini-series to me; one of those made for TV movies that isn't great acting wise, but still holds the interest. I haven't watched Threshold, I'm not home when it's on. All I can say is that...
I was going to post this in the main MLB post, but I wanted to have another discussion going to. MLB All Star Game is literally a month away. FoxSports.com had a great article on Jason Varitek: http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/3680356 With the All Star game coming up, we're going to see an...
You have to see the link to believe it, pretty funny stuff: http://cbsnewyork.com/topstories/loc...145094335.html That was a pretty weak slap, you could tell it was joking... kind of. But what Burt Reynolds had to say about the kid's appearance was classic. Jesus, man, iron your shirt...
I've been listening to the new Audioslave on Myspace (they're hosting it this week). I got to say... well, there's a quote that I think fits the new album. I watched The Rock the other day and here's how I feel about the new album: "I don't like soft ass shit"
Yeah, I don't like it. When...
With the new Queens of the Stone Age coming out next month, I wanted to post a quick review to wet some appetites and remind people how cool this band is. I've been listening to QOTSA since "R", their second album. The new album is pretty good, it reminds me a lot of "R", in that some of the...
Finally got my Skyfi2 back from Delphi -- the longest 2 weeks ever! I notice that XM175 is up now, that's the Home Plate channel that's 24hr baseball. They also have the game channels ready to go. YEAH! I was listening to the Home Plate programming last night, it was World Series replay...
Ah... My day just got so much better. Effective Feb 9th 2005 the local CBS affiliate, KIRO, will be broadcasting on Comcast. That gives me ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, PBS all broadcasting in Digital through my cable box. ME SO HAPPY! :D http://www.kirotv.com/station/4157165/detail.html Doug
Well, big conundrum. I just heard (I guess I've been in a closet -- listen mostly to satellite radio) on the local station that Alice In Chains is reuniting for a charity concert on Feb 18th here in Seattle. Now, obviously, this is a band in name only -- Layne Staley, the lead singer, has been...
Hey -- Thought I would start a Sports Radio Thread to talk about the shows we like and don't like on Sports Radio. I got XM Radio for Christmas and am happy to finally be able to get the 3 majors all the way to work. Generally, I got local sports radio and Fox Sports halfway to work, then...
I know that gambling online is illegal in some states, but don't really understand why. Not that this website would condone, or certainly house, sinners that bet on sports online.... but hypothetically, how would your experience have gone, if hypothetically you had put money down on a game...
I turned to Jane Pauley at the end of the show, getting ready for the 5pm news, only to see that Metallica is on Jane Pauley. If anything deserves an almighty "WHAT THE F---!" that has got to be it. Seeing Kirk showing Jane how to hit a cord was like seeing Ozzy show a four year old how to pet a...
Why wasn't Miss America in HD? I read all week about how it's been struggling in the ratings, and becoming largely irrelevant. Having this thing broadcast in HD would have kept a little more interest on it. My wife and I try and watch it every year (it was a tradition when we were dating and...
OK Guys -- I admit it, I watched the first 10 minutes of Amish in the City last night on UPN. For anyone who watched this, do you smell "set-up" like I do? Did it seem odd that while on the farm, the amish couple were wearing new Nikes and Nike sport socks? Did it seem strange that one of the...
Just a reminder to everyone that the V Complete Series came out on DVD today. It's nice to have these on DVD so I can finally get rid of my VHS taped off of Sci-Fi (and worse than that, my VHS that were recorded in 84/85). In terms of a quick review, let me again reiterate that it's nice to have...
