    Don't mess with Mom....

    Remember that imbecile of a girl who wrote terrorist-threat notes while on a cruise with her family, so that the trip would be cut short and she could go back to be with her boyfriend? http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/West/05/0....ap/index.html She doesn't exactly look like a Rhodes scholar...

    Anyone got the new Centrino laptops?

    I've been browsing the laptop market lately, because I decided I needed to move on from my 6-year-old 600 MHz Pentium III Dell desktop, and various considerations made me look at switching to a laptop. Of course, the big hubbub these days in the laptop market has been Intel's new...

    Mooch is OUTTA HERE and perhaps the next Lions Head Coach!!

    ESPN.com is reporting that Steve Mariucci's been released from the last year of his contract: http://espn.go.com/nfl/news/2003/0115/1493146.html So who's next for the 'Niners? (Didn't know if this was supposed to go in the NFL playoffs mega-thread, but hey, since the 'Niners are currently...

    A gift for that really, really special friend....

    This is an electric corkscrew, believe it or not (and as a confirmed wine snob myself, even I find this one hard to swallow....;) ) http://store1.yimg.com/I/next-wine_1716_1665620

    Alien box set, Criterions, lotsa other stuff FT!

    I generally ship everything by USPS Priority Mail. The non-SE discs would go in a 2-for-1 or 3-for-1 deal, depending upon the disc we're talking about. For trade: Alien Legacy box set (no shrink wrap, but never played -- bonus trading cards still in shrink wrap!) Hard-Boiled CC (OOP...

    My speakers are humming!! Wha?

    I just moved to a new apartment, and finally managed to reconnect all those pesky cables and wires in my AV setup. When I turned it on, tho, I got a loud hum emanating from my main speakers (I haven't yet set up my surrounds, so I dunno if they would've hummed too), which was independent of the...

    Well, this certainly isn't great press for the Atkins Diet....

    Directors Favorite cover versions of songs?

    I just realized while I was listening to one of my burned mix CDs that a good chunk of them were covers of other bands' originals. Soooo....I was curious what other people thought were the best (or most interesting) covers they've heard. (And this shouldn't include covers only done during a...

    How to figure out which memory type to buy?

    I've been using a Dell desktop with a P-III 600 mHz processor for several years now, and it's generally suited my needs fine. However, I'd like to add some RAM beyond the 128 MB it was originally installed with. These days, with designations like SDRAM, RDRAM, Rambus (are they all the same?)...

    Pole vaulter dies at meet

    OOP Criterions, Alien box set, DTS demo discs, lotsa others!

    Though my first (second, and third) preference is for trades, sales may be possible, so inquire if you're looking that way (but trades really would be better for both of us, value-wise). I generally ship everything by USPS Priority Mail. For trade: Alien Legacy box set (no shrink wrap, but...

    Anyone having problems with The Vanishing: CC?

    There's been no mention of any problems on HTF, so maybe it's just me, but I'm on my second copy now of The Vanishing: CC, and right at the same spot in the middle of chapter 10, as well as several places later on in the film, the disc freezes up and/or pixelates. (The discs themselves look...

    Best print version of LOTR?

    Since I re-acquainted myself with the trilogy using my uncle's half-falling-apart paperback copies, I figured I ought to invest in a proper set for myself, but especially with the release of the film, the number and variety of different editions on the bookshelves seems to have multiplied...

    Van Gundy resigns as Knick coach....

    Wow, that was a surprise. I mean, the Knicks weren't doing too well this year (still struggling to stay above .500 ball), but given their dearth of top-tier talent at some crucial positions (say, point guard and true center) as well as their abominable draft history, I suppose one can't be too...

    OOP Criterions, X-files Season 2+3 sets, a bunch of others FT!!!

    Now that the holiday shopping (and hordes-of-new-release-DVDs) season is upon us, I need to make some room (and/or get some new discs in trade), so I've put a great many new discs up on my trade list. I generally ship everything by USPS Priority Mail. For trade: Alien Legacy box set (no...

    Studio Day 2001 DVD news

    (Since there's no "official Studio Day thread" yet, I figured I'd start one and see what happens.... If another, "official" thread starts, I can always repost there.) Just got back from Studio Day 2001 at Dave's Video -- the place was crawling with HTF'ers!!! Besides getting to see sneak...

    So now that Tortilla Soup is coming out....

    ....just where the hell is the Ang Lee film that inspired it (and judging by the new movie's trailer, is still superior to it by a long shot....), Eat Drink Man Woman?? And for that matter, where's The Wedding Banquet?? Especially after the success of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, you'd...

    Whither The Wannsee Conference?

    Has anyone heard anything about this great movie ever coming out on DVD? For those who are unfamiliar with it, it's a German production (I believe) that used the actual transcripts of the infamous meeting in early 1942 where Reinhard Heydrich, Adolf Eichmann, and several other Nazi officials...

    Lots of DVDs (Criterions, Alien box set, X-Files box set, many others)

    Take a gander -- you can probably find something you want! Those discs with prices include USPS Priority Mail shipping in the price (multiple discs will naturally get a few bucks shaved off the shipping). For Trade: Alien Legacy box set (no shrink wrap, but never played -- bonus trading cards...
