Has anyone had any experience making your own projection screen? I've seen the material for sale on Ebay at around $50 for a 106" screen. You would need to build the frame yourself, but this would be a huge moneysaver if it was decent. I have no idea if the material is any good or not, but it...
Medak's commentary on The Changeling?!? I would LOVE to hear that. One of my favorite movies, I agree with you on that John Kwong. Too bad it's R2 only.
Some of my local stations are going to start broadcasting HDTV soon. Any recommendations on an HDTV receiver for the Sony KP-53HS30? Very new to the HDTV thing, but I'd like to get started. Thanks a lot, Jeff
I got this movie free on an Inside DVD disc that came with the magazine. The transfer is so-so (never seen any other version) and it's in B&W but you're welcome to it if you want it. Jeff
Did anyone else notice the "similarities" between The Others and The Changeling (1980)? The plots were different, but there were little things like the name Mr. Tuttle, and much bigger ones like the scene near the end, the seance
which I almost couldn't believe.
Just wondering if anyone else...
Well, this may be good news.
I've been emailing with Universal about the problem, and they have confirmed that the replacement DVD you'll receive by sending them yours is in fact a fixed version, and not just another copy.
At least they acknowledged the problem.
Rae,
I have a 5109 with version 3.00 and I have the problem, so upgrading to that one won't help. Are you having problems with 2.7 or just asking ahead of time?
Does anyone know what the latest version is?
Jeff
To see what version you have start the player with no DVD(s) in it. Then press Zoom, 6, 0, 6, Zoom.
I'm not sure what the latest version is. If anyone knows, please post.
So far it seems to only happen with older Toshiba players. I guess we'll have to wait a few days to see how widespread a...
Oh, don't worry, I helped him out. He's new to HT but he really loves it.
He actually felt pretty silly and we both had a good laugh. Now he has to go home and explain it to his wife...
I liked this one a lot. Maybe it was because I liked the Dirk Diggler character so much and this guy was a lot like him.
Best line:
"Why dont you write me a song about why the hell would I want to do that!"

A guy at work just gave me his review of Pearl Harbor that I thought I'd share with you.
First off, he was suprised that the movie started out after the attack and didn't introduce any of the characters. He kept waiting for flashbacks to explain everything and felt lost for the "entire" movie...
I'm all for keeping it in perspective, but this is a serious change. To me it was one of the most important scenes in the movie. The kid keeps on riding to save his friend and winces at the impending shots. That says a lot.
I hope they keep it in.

I agree with David T's hypnosis theorey. The group feeling really can make a difference. This applies to horror movies as well where one joker can change a movie from scary into silly for everyone else.
In the end, some like it, some don't. No big deal.
I think the character Steve is the...
I may be wrong, but I think I remember there being a very faint blowing wind sound there. You might have to crank up the volume to hear it. I know this was on at least one Dreamworks intro.
Jeff
Got mine today.
I think the picture looks better overall than the HS10 but I still have more tweaking to do. I'll let you know how the SMPT color bars match for me when I finish with VE.
One thing that bothers me is that after selecting 16:9 mode in Video 5 or 6, if you switch to another video...
I was helping a friend calibrate his RCA RT2500 system and noticed that when using DTS the sound was extremely thin compared to DD5.1 for all DVDs with both 5.1 and DTS. No adjustments would compensate for this as far as I can tell.
Does anyone have this package and have you had similar...
