    Do I need a UPS/Surge Protector AND a Power Conditioner?

    I'm going to be getting a new TV soon (Samsung 61" HL-S6188W RP HDTV) and my brother's telling me that, in addition to the surge protector/UPS I already have my stuff hooked to (Monster UPS 500), I should invest in a power conditioner. Now, I understand what the purpose of such a device is but...

    DLP RPTV w/ LED light source -- worth the price?

    I'm a definite newbie to HDTV, so I need some advice. I'm planning to upgrade from my 32" Sony Vega CRT to some kind of HDTV after the end of the year. I've been checking out what's available and am leaning toward getting a rear-projection DLP set (I prefer something that can be moved fairly...

    Anyone seen DETONATOR w/ Pierce Brosnan?

    I saw this at Best Buy and considered picking it up as a blind purchase but thought I'd check here first... The packaging makes it look quite good (plus I love Alistair Maclean) but I can't find anyone who's actually seen it. How bad can a movie with Pierce Brosnan, Patrick Stewart and...

    ENGLISH PATIENT Special Edition any time soon?

    Wasn't Miramax supposedly working on a Special Edition of THE ENGLISH PATIENT for release this year? I vaguely recall reading about this somewhere a while ago but can't find anything. Anybody know? :confused:

    myImax -- Anyone heard of / bought one of these?

    Check this out: www.myimax.com I'm filing this under "If it sounds too good to be true it probably is" but was curious what anyone here might have to say about such a thing. How could the picture possibly look decent? Is it possible this could work? :confused:

    Question Re: Mamet's THE SPANISH PRISONER

    I'm a big fan of David Mamet's work and have enjoyed all of his movies (though I thought STATE & MAIN was overrated). Just re-watched THE SPANISH PRISONER last night. Great movie, but I have a question -- At one point in the film the following exchange of dialogue occurs between Joseph...

    OAR Question: Lumet's "Q & A"

    Okay, so about two years ago I buy a copy of the original HBO Home Video DVD release of Sidney Lumet's Q & A. It didn't say anywhere on the case that it was widescreen but I figured "what the hell, it'll probably never see the light of day in OAR anyhow." I get back to my apartment, pop it in...

    Will we ever get to see BURDEN OF DREAMS on DVD?

    Anchor Bay has done an exceptional job of releasing the films of Werner Herzog. If for no other reason they will forever be my favorite DVD studio. However, does anyone know who owns the rights to Les Blank's documentary about the making of Fitzcaraldo , Burden of Dreams ? I have always heard...

    STEPHEN KING'S ROSE RED -- Any good?

    I just picked up THE OTHERS at CC ($16.99) and saw this one next to it. I love haunted house movies (and ghost stories in general) but I intentionally missed this one when it was on TV (I cannot abide commercials! :) ). I'm suspicious of any "horror" story produced specifically for the...

    Anyone seen Frankenheimer's HOLCROFT COVENANT?

    I'm a big fan of John Frankenheimer but this one has thus-far escaped me. Anyone here know whether it's any good (both the movie itself and the DVD)? It's only about $10.00 at Fry's and I was thinking of picking it up?

    BEVERLY HILLS COP II question...

    Ever since I first saw this movie in the theater back in 1987 I have been puzzled about something... During the jewelry store robbery at the beginning: What's the point of the one guy spraying shaving cream into the security camera lens? I mean, it would make sense if he managed to do it...

    STAGE FRIGHT and THE CHURCH -- any good?

    I've been pretty impressed with the Dario Argento movies Anchor Bay has been releasing but I've never seen any of Michele Soavi's stuff. Looks like AB is putting these two out on 2/19 and I was wondering if they're worth the money. Any opinions?

    www.DavidLynch.com -- Worth the money?

    I'm a big David Lynch fan (I'm not really big, average size really... :D ) but I'm not sure whether I'm willing to put out the $10.00 per month their asking for membership on his web-site. Anyone out there who's already bit for it care to comment? Thanks in advance.

    Will we get THE QUATERMASS XPERIMENT any time soon?

    Just wondering if anyone has heard about a DVD release of this one. I know MGM holds the rights (they've already released it as part of their "Midnite Movies" series on VHS). Since Anchor Bay has already released QUATERMASS 2 and QUATERMASS & THE PIT it seems a shame not to have the first...

    MAD MAX: BEYOND THUNDERDOME -- Any good?

    This is the only one of the Mad Max movies I haven't seen. I thought the first was okay (great action scenes but somewhat dull otherwise) and THE ROAD WARRIOR was, of course, pure undiluted greatness but I just never got around to the third. Opinions?

    Woody Allen's HUSBANDS & WIVES any time soon?

    Seems like everything Woody Allen's ever directed is on DVD now except HUSBANDS & WIVES, which is arguably his last really great movie. Anyone know when (or if) this will be coming out?

    Question: How do I save Quicktime movie previews to hard drive?

    Okay: I used to be able to go to http://www.quicktime.com/trailers Is there some kind of setting I can change or something I need to do to be able to save these things again? Would I be able to if I bit the bullet and paid for Quicktime Pro? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
