    Why DVDs are thriving while CDs tank

    Not sure if I'm a typical consumer or not, but here goes... I'd gladly pay $1-$3 per song downloaded as long as the song wasn't device-locked or restricted in another way. Why? Because if I (hypothetically) download a ripped song, I can't control the quality, bitrate or tag contents, and I'm...

    World War II movies: from the time of the war (civilian and military) suggestions?

    For a look at the lasting effects of the war on those who came home, check out Best Years of Our Lives -- won multiple Oscars I believe, and was a real eye opener for me. Takes place immediately after the end of the war.

    Can anyone recommend a good DOCUMENTARY DVD?

    Another Imax film (by the same director that did Super Speedway) is Beavers. Both of these have great movies, but also have a "making of" documentary. What they had to do to make these is amazing.

    The next Sci-Fi saga

    Kimmo beat me to it: Starship Troopers with the suits instead of the pooping bugs. Or do Haldeman's "Forever War" instead. Also, "The Mote in God's Eye" (Niven and Pournelle) would make an eerie movie, and there could be at least one follow-on. But my recommendation for best series would...

    Is professional installation dictated by Dish Network??

    TV theme songs -- a lost art

    Actually, I think some of the HBO ones are pretty good, including Sopranos, Sex and the City, and Six Feet Under.

    Scariest, Spookiest, will have nightmares for a week DVD!!!

    Robert Wise's The Haunting--my absolute fave. Has one scene in particular that gets me every time :) The first half of Prince of Darkness is a pretty high pucker-factor also. Modern science discovers evil...

    Charmin Toilet paper blows away Quilted Northern!

    I'm surprised no one has mentioned the quality of the tubes in the two products. Although both products are obviously superior to the corn/sears products because they are tube designs, I find the Charmin harmonics to add nuances missing from competing products. Also, I purchased a green marker...
