I picked up the fridge set at bb today and it does have the same set as everyone else just inside of a fridge with some magnets. Not exactly worth it but since bb had the best price anyway, it works for me...
No problem. That's what I figured. Were you specifically looking for a combo or just a DVD player? I bought a Lite-on LVD-2001 DVD player a while back and have never used it (only watched one DVD). It scales to 1080i (via component) and is region-free and converts PAL to NTSC and vice versa...
Sorry, JonBoriss, didn't mean to steal your thunder. I'll do your collection since you got skipped: Best three: Fargo Fight Club Leon: The Professional Worst three: Blade 2 Driven Hulk Need three: Planet of the Apes (1968) - toss the 'reimagining' for the original...
Just wanted to clarify that the Bits specifically states that the reviews are embargoed until tomorrow so I doubt you'll see any today unless that is the last review copy they want to see...
Always interesting to hear what others think of your collection. Thanks for checking out mine, JonBoriss. Awww, I like Goldmember. Yeah, The Mexican is not great, but it was a $7.99 previously viewed purchase. What Lies Beneath? Man, that is one truly creepy movie. Sure, the ending...
For Curt Badry: Not a whole lot to choose from, but I'll give it a shot... Best three: Pulp Fiction - I never tire of this film Fight Club - Leaves everyone provoked and speechless at the same time LOTR: FOTR - I know, typical, but worth it Worst three: Bad Boys II - Truly Bad...
Agreed. I look at these movies as one 10+ hour movie split up. No need for a flashback of stuff that has already been shown. I have never read the books and I knew what was going on with the Palantir. Don't spoonfeed me. I also didn't need the "look for my coming on the 5th day" reminder in TTT...
I don't know the specifics, but I believe SAG has rules stating that a film is determined by releases and not by how it is filmed. So, LOTR would be considered three separate films by SAG and thus the actors would have to be paid for three films. That doesn't mean they couldn't get paid less for...
Agreed. I still don't see the purpose of the long fade to black with Sam and Frodo surrounded by the lava. Only to indicate a passage of time? Maybe if they cut to another scene first, but they just fade right back in. Just seems like a bit of manipulation to convince you that they die.
Steve, Don't mean to dodge the question, but really, only you can answer how "worth it" it is. Depending on the factory condition, you'll probably get 70-80% of possible performance out of the box using Video Essentials or Avia (this is purely theoretical as performance is subjective). If...
I bought one of these because of a problem my Tosh 65H80 was having with 480p inputs, only to realize there was a bigger problem with 1080i inputs (aargh!). So I too am going to sell mine and stick with my RP91. I have watched one movie on it. It is new in box, with all original packaging and...
Maybe this shouldn't be in the software forum, but I thought many of you would be interested to hear this. Moderators, feel free to move if too off topic. I have the widescreen version of Finding Nemo on my queue at Netflix, and I got this email from them today:
We Americans get the short end of the stick when it comes to events like the Heritage Classic. I think the only way I can see the legends game is when ESPN Classic broadcasts it a week later. That is unless the Center Ice package on DirecTV decides to carry it (they are carrying the regular NHL...
Does anyone know any details about this or has anyone seen it? It's a double DVD set that comes out tomorrow, but I don't know anything else. Thanks, Brett
My RP91 is still working, but I just ordered the Lite-on LVD-2001 to go with my 65H80 (no DVI). I haven't received it yet, so no firsthand info, but if your display is component only (no DVI), can display 1080i natively and you really want the scaling of the RP91 (extremely important to me)...
Was reading The Digital Bits and they mention that Alien: 2003 Director's Cut will be released in theaters next month? I haven't heard about this. Can someone enlighten me? Are they talking about the original Alien? -Brett
Just wondering if there will be a coupon towards the purchase of the 4-disc set like there was in FOTR? Or a ticket for ROTK (although that will probably be in the 4-disc set)? -Brett
Thanks, Ron! Eric, That's the first I've heard of that. They did film some original stuff (non-Japanese) for it, but that would be interesting if they used two different Japanese movies. I don't see how they could since the characters are pretty consistent throughout Tiger Lily. Interesting...
And while I'm at it, Ron, can you give me a one-word description of the image quality? I don't need a review, I just hope it's decent considering the source.
