I was wondering if there are any releases of Last Year at Marienbad around the world? It seems odd that the only DVD release would be American Fox Lorber, since this is a French film. If there aren't, are there any plans to release it? It seems like with the disc fetching some hefty prices that...
This has been bugging me for a while. Does anyone know the name of the crossover between two circle graphs? Like this: What is the name for the interlocking area? Thanks.
gives Halo a 9.7
. It also has demos for Prince of Persia 2, DOA: Ultimate, and Conflict: Vietnam. SPOILERS (?): The Halo 2 review is very large. One of their main complaints is the ending. There's also a section you have to cut open to read it.
Anyone else looking forward to It's Not Funny? I can't wait. I loved his HBO special, The Pride is Back, and thought Shut Up You Fucking Baby was good. I'm quite interested in his political take on the current situation. Anyone picking it up?
I just got a laserdisc player, and am looking for a good resource for used discs. I'm looking mostly for Criterions, music, and foreign/indie films. Also, if anyone has the Twin Peaks Season 2 boxes, I'm really looking for those. Drop me a line, or please point me to a good resource. Thanks.
For some reason, my JPEG's have been saving as .JPE's instead of .JPGs. It means that I can't double click them and open them with the standard Microsoft Photo Editor. What's the (probably easy) answer to fixing this?
I was wondering if it is possible to transfer data by linking X-Boxes together in lieu of buying a memory card? I played through a game on a friend's X-Box and now want to play it on mine but don't have a memory card. Since this is a one shot deal, I'd like to hook the X-Boxen together and just...
I've noticed for a while that I've had problems accessing certain parts of websites. I first noticed this on Pogo, in that none of the ads would load, and I couldn't get the games to work. On another site that required flash, when they tested my system, it said that I didn't have a current...
I've registered at Davidlynch.com and when trying to view one of the series (Dumbland), the audio is off by 3 or 4 seconds. I was told it's due to having a newer version of Quicktime (6.3). It has to be 5.02 for the audio to be right. Where do I find old Quicktimes, and is it possible to have...
I was listening to a classic rock station, and they played a downright catchy song and I have no idea what the name of it was. It started out with just an acoustic guitar. The singer had a pretty thick accent-probably British, but maybe not-and there was a lyric about champagne that tasted...
I'm looking at getting a Panasonic PT-53WX52 or a PT-53WX42 16:9 HDTV. The difference for about $100 is a screen protector and DVI input. I think the 52 maybe a little harder to find. So, I have some basic questions before I take the plunge: 1. Reading through the burn in thread in Display, I...
Okay, this is a little vague. I'm trying to come up with the name of a cartoon, possibly anime, from the 80's for a friend. She says no one has been able to remember it, but I figured if there is anyone that knows about it, it'll be one of you. She says that there was a character whose...
Okay, it seems as if the database problem killed my previous thread. I didn't get to read any of the responses after my last post, and I'm still having this problem. To summarize: I have a Motorola Surfboard SB4100 modem that I'm trying to direct connect to my X-Box using Cat5e. I power the...
I had a friend recently offer to get me a kola nut. He said a co-worker was selling them, and he'd personally witnessed her drop 40 pounds. This friend wouldn't put me on-he's close, and he's going to just give me it, so it's not a money thing. He says that you break it into 31 pieces, and...
The name sounds stupid, but the game came up in a chat online with Steve Albini. He said that he'd been put in the game. The game is actually listed on the IMDB, and a look at the cast is like the Cannonball Run for indie rock. Steve Albini, David Yow, King Buzzo, Mark Mothersbaugh, and The...
I like reading lists, so I thought this could be neat. This may have been done before (maybe even by me), but I was wondering what everyone's favorite (top 5-10) games for each system are? Not just this generation, but all generations? Mine: Atari: 1.Pac-Man 2.Asteroids 3.Stampede...
I like humorous games. I often find myself wishing more games would go for a funny atmosphere and surprise me. I was wondering what everyone's favorite funny game was in recent times? Of all times?
Okay, again, I felt this was probably better suited for the Basics area, but this maybe better suited for another area. I have a pair of AKG K301's that I like. They are comfortable and accurate in their reproduction. However, I used them for recording, and they got a little more wear and...
Did a search, couldn't come up with any threads. I figured this goes in the Basics area.... The first stand alone player I bought know has problems with skipping after extended periods of play, or on just some discs. It'll begin hiccuping, and if you go back to the spot it had problems with...
I just got a cat (Iggy), and I already have a somewhat (err...very) territorial dog (Buster). The dog is moderately small (about 17 lbs) and the cat is about average size, so I'm not worried about my dog tearing the cat to shreds. I've been keeping Iggy the cat in my bedroom, where I can...
I'm using cable internet, and last Saturday I tried to hook up a router. It failed (miserably), and I unhooked it the same day, and my modem was working fine. It's probably unrelated, but I thought I'd throw it out there as a "just in case". My internet's been acting a little screwy today (so...
I'm interested in getting into John Zorn, but he is confusingly prolific. I've sampled some of his stuff, and like the frentic short stuff (Thrash Jazz Assassin, Demon Sanctuary), though I'm open to try it all. What albums should I start on?
There was a thread a while back of old armature photographs taken with Kodachrome film. The photo posted here really captivated me, and my interest in Kodachrome was piqued. I've found it for sale on the Internet, but need some gaps filled in for me. Where do I get this stuff processed? What...
I've been meaning to go vegan for some time, and so I went ahead and bit the bullet, and I've been vegan for 4 days now. On top of that, I added a rather tough stipulation-nothing but fruits and vegetables. I'm in a competition with a friend to see who can stay on the diet the longest, and if I...
What I'm thinking of doing is running a long Cat5 that is constantly hooked up to my X-Box to the back of my desk. When I want to play Live, I'd simply unhook my USB connection between the computer and the modem, and hook in the Cat5. Would this work? Would I have to unplug the modem...
Okay,
It took some doing, but I watched every episode from the second season, and have now finished watching Fire Walk With Me. Needless to say, I've got a lot of questions. Obviously, there will be lots of SPOILERS. Do not read ahead unless you've seen the first and second season, and Fire...
Lately, I've been meaning to network 2 computers in my house (and maybe my X-Box) so that they can use my cable modem. I'm a complete newbie at this, and was wondering what I'd need to do this? Also, are network kits a good route to go? Will networking slow the connection down on the...
I was wondering if anyone knew when season 2 of Twin Peaks was going to see a release on DVD? Has there been even rumours?
And on the Twin Peaks note, is Fire Walk With Me understandable without seeing season 2? Can I just drop into the middle of season 2 on Bravo and figure it out? Any sort...
I admit it-I find Jackass funny. I'm not all that ashamed either-it's a real life cartoon. It's stupid and it knows it's stupid. So does Jerry Springer-but what separates it is that it's actually entertaining. And for my own ego, I'll say that the two volumes are sandwiched in between Hong War...
