Looking at Yahoo! movie showtimes for local theaters, which includes movies opening this weekend. Saw that Jonah Hex is 81 minutes long. Checked with IMDb, says it's 80. Not a good sign, even for a Neveldine & Taylor movie. Crank was 88 and Gamer was 95 minutes.

Considering all the crap the studios put out week after week, you wonder about this one in particular? :) I liked it. Maybe the "message" was a bit too heavy. Certainly the thing at the end puts the kibosh on the happy guilt-free slaughter-fest vibe. If you watch Friday Night Lights (the...

Toshiba is marketing 1-for-1 pixel mapping as "Native Mode" on some new 1080 LCDs. (The "LZ" line accepts 1080p input, while the "LX" does not.) This seems like a no-brainer. While it might make sense to stretch 1080 content maybe 5% to hide the possible rough edges with HDTV, making pixels just...

I've taken the same short trip on Southwest Airlines about 100 times in the past ten years. For those that don't know, Southwest has open seating, like a bus; you need to get on early to guarantee a spot for your larger carry-on, and to avoid the less comfortable middle seats. Recently, they've...

While surfing found this: http://images.suntimes.com/images4/trailers/5men.mov The third and fifth guys were not as recognizable to me. Also, Hal Douglas does a brief bit on the phone; he was in the trailer for Jerry Seinfeld's Comedian.

With all the recent coverage, it got me wondering: why is the sound quality when the astronauts are being interviewed so bad?

With Sex and The City last night (I don't get HBO anymore; I've only seen the first few seasons) and the apparently lukewarm response it has gotten, I got to thinking about the finales for shows, which ones worked and which ones didn't. So considering shows that either finished on purpose or...

I've hooked up a few different 5.1 (and 7.1) systems, but for this particular room, speaker placement is a problem, and I don't feel like stringing wires and drilling holes. I don't expect any miracles with the virtual stuff, but does anyone have any (informed :) ) opinions on this Denon...

Does anyone know of a plain old regular Windows keyboard with a USB cable connection (not wireless)? All I can find are one where the keys are rearranged in goofy positions, or have enough extra keys to control the space shuttle. I don't want either. It's for hooking up to a DVI/USB KVM. I...

Rita looks better without the bangs. Good to see Daniel Benzali reprising his role from way back. Anyone think Fraker is paralyzed? They mentioned he was shot in the spine, and all he did was sit. //Ken

I was flipping by and caught a bit of an episode on Bravo this past weekend. In one of the first season episodes, they basically lay out the fourth season cliffhanger. Just in case someone is just now catching the show on DVD in "Mr. Willis of Ohio", Zoey goes to a bar with the gang, and gets in...

Melissa George -- who co-starred in Thieves, played the really hot nanny on Friends last season, and had a guest spot on Monk a few weeks ago -- is joining the cast of Alias next season as Vaughn's wife . That bit and a few others revealed in a recent interview. (Not the most flattering photo...

http://talk.trekweb.com/articles/200...051807527.html When I read that last detail about T'Pol, I checked the date on the story, and it was indeed May instead of April. //Ken

I was looking at a Pioneer plasma at the store (I forget which one, it was $11000), and noticed that the resolution was listed at 1280x768. The current progressive HD resolution is 1280x720, which is 16:9 with square pixels. If the plasma does 768 instead of 720, does that it mean it does...

Roswell is starting its run on Sci-Fi tonight at 6/5c. Tonight's pilot is one of the best pilots ever. //Ken

Enjoyed watching all the bikinied surfer babes, especially the lead, Kate Bosworth. I liked her since she did Young Americans on The WB a few years back. Oh yeah, the surf footage was very good, aside from what sure looked like some digital inserts. (What year was The Running Man set in --...

So I saw the preview for A Beautiful Mind. Looks interesting; directed by the fairly reliable Ron Howard. Good cast: if Russell Crowe and Ed Harris aren't enough, there's Jennifer Connelly. But at the very end, I noticed that it was written by Akiva Goldsman, who wrote Batman Forever, Batman &...
