    Netflix on PS3 - Disc Free on 10/18!!

    Here's some thoughts after using the new Netflix interface for a few weeks: Pros: 1. Doesn't require a disk 2. Seems to have slightly faster loading when starting a show/movie Cons: 1. Takes longer to start/load the Netflix interface program than using the disk. 2. Requires...

    Warner & Netflix announce a way to throttle BD new releases

    Since it seems to take Netflix two to three months to send me a new release, I don't think I'll see much of a difference. I'd prefer they get rid of the extra charge for BD's since it appears they don't spend it on more copies anyway. They can delay all they want, there are very few movies I...

    Stalker Mix

    Yes, it is the Romantics (I Hear the Secrets that You Keep). I found another Weird Al song yesterday called Melanie, which is definitely a stalker song.

    Stalker Mix

    Yes, Rockwell. I goofed up on the title too. Another one I heard yesterday is If I Can't Have you by Kelly Clarkson. I did a quick Amazon mp3 search on that title since I also have it for the Bee Gees above and saw that there is a long list of artists. I'll have to go through and see if they...

    Stalker Mix

    I like to put together interesting theme mixes on my mp3 device and was wondering if anyone else had some ideas to add to a stalker mix? I'd like to stay closer to the stalker/stalkie category rather than the more general I want to get in your pants or I had a bad breakup genre. Here is what I...

    Is there a receiver that connects wirelessly to a media server?

    I'm looking to put a small system in a bathroom and I have a Iomega media server that connects to all my computers and game systems currently. It is very convenient to keep all my mp3 files in one place and not have to worry about updating multiple places. Are there any receivers that can...

    Blu-ray Review HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: Sleeping Beauty - 2-Disc Platinum Edition

    I popped this disc in the other day and my jaw hit the floor. I couldn't help thinking that the picture I was seeing might be better than how it looked originally (maybe not, since I wasn't around back then). The colors and depth were just amazing.

    Star Wars the Clone Wars 2008

    I don't know if Blu-Ray.com is an accurate site, but I noticed they had Star Wars the Clone Wars coming out December 8 in the UK and December 9 in the U.S. Blu-ray.com - Star Wars - The Clone Wars (Blu-ray) Amazon.UK has it up for pre-order also.

    Blu-ray Review HTF Blu-Ray Review: Semi-Pro: Let's Get Sweaty Edition

    Thanks for the review. I finally rented this on Blu-Ray and watched it last night. The picture and sound were great but what I was most surprised by is that I liked the story. I'm probably in the minority, but I didn't like Anchorman or Talladega Nights very much and didn't find them very funny...

    Blu-ray Review HTF Blu-ray Review: Bee Movie

    I think Amazon goofed up or their order was delayed. A number of people, including myself, found the movie at Walmart on 5/20. I also read a report from someone that found it at Target on 5/20. Of course the error could be on Walmart/Targets side too. When I asked a video deparment clerk about...

    Blu-ray Review HTF Blu-ray Review: Bee Movie

    Thanks for the review. I popped the disc in the other day to have a quick look and was happy that it was as sharp as I remember from the theater. I originally thought I wouldn't like this film after all the mediocre and bad reviews it received, but I ended up loving it.

    Bee Movie (Blu-ray) release changed to 6/3/08?

    I swung by a super Walmart this morning, and after ten minutes of trying to find any Blu-rays, stumbled upon a small section near the back of the media area. They had four copies of Bee Movie on the shelf. I went ahead and picked one up and canceled my Amazon order.

    So I Married an Axe Murder Blu-ray Disc 6/17

    This is my favorite Mike Myers film and I will definitely be picking this up.

    Anyone else clearing out their SD-DVDs?

    I'll do the same thing I did with VHS. If a better version comes out, I'll get rid of the old format. If not, I'll hang on to it. I still have a shelf of VHS tapes for movies and special programming that have never come out on DVD. And yes I still watch them.

    I want Planet of the Apes(1968) Blu-Ray

    I'm also in the camp of disliking the remake. I double dipped on the originals on DVD and I have no problem buying them again on Blu-ray. Bring it on Fox!

    Blu-ray Review HTF Blu-Ray Review: Blade Runner 5 Disc Ultimate Collector's Edition

    I popped the first disc in this weekend to take a quick look at the picture after reading several reviews, and was astounded how good this film looks. If you are a fan of Sci-Fi, this is a no brainer to purchase.

    Disney Blu-Ray add on PS3 Talladega Nights

    I didn't see a thread for this, so I apologize if this has already been discussed. I don't know if this is on the regular Blu-Ray release, but the PS3 stripped down version had a Blu-Ray add of upcoming Disney releases. I didn't memorize the whole list but the following animated movies stuck...

    So who is sticking with SD DVD and why and for how long

    I read an interesting article yesterday in the Wall Street Journal that I think was spot on. The gist of the story was that industries that forced you to pay for something you didn't want are now struggling and trying to survive in the digital age. The two industries mentioned in the article...

    My First New Season Casualty..What's yours?

    Dumped after several dates: 1. Studio 60 - Preaching/Comedy mix not balanced. Courting, but considering dumping: 1. Ugly Betty - the third date has to be good or she's gone. 2. 30 Rock - I promised I'd give it the same chance as Studio 60, so I have to go out at least 4 more times...

    Netflix: An ongoing log

    I've been a Netflix member since they opened (1999?), and have had to report three returns as lost in the mail during the last month. The interesting part is that the same day I reported each one missing I got an email within a couple hours stating the disk just showed up in the mail! It's...

    Did anything important happen at the end of the episode? My DVR stopped recording with 7 minutes left, right when the golf ball was revealed.

    "The Assistant" - Thoughts?

    I was hoping I wasn't the only one watching this show. I think it is hilarious. I find myself laughing quite a bit throughout the show. I would describe this show as a satire of all the other reality shows. I watched the second episode this morning and found it just as funny as the first. I...

    The Time Is Now For A Nationwide Campaign Called "Why Widescreen"

    As I was reading this thread I thought of a good image to use for promoting widescreen. Picture 1: What appears to be a midriff with the bottom of a bikini bra showing on the left side and the top of the bottoms on the right side of the screen in 4:3 format. Label = Pan & Scan or Standard...
