    Total Recall 2012

    Well...here's the first trailer: http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWMhADqlPYg ...yep. I am not a fan of this decade long remake virus overtaking "Hollywood" and this doesn't alleviate my distaste with the trend very much. Yeah it's glossy and loud, but the fact that the filmmakers are again...

    Xbox 360 2010 dashboard "upgrade".......yuck.

    The new dashboard is boxy and very white, bit hard on the eyes IMO. I find it amazing that you had more control of your environment with the original blades from five years ago than you do now with all of these "upgrades", I mean you could actually change the color back then, this seems like a...

    What the hell is going on..."Google Deutschland"?

    Every time I open up Google for the last three days or so it opens up into Google Deutschland & there is a prompt to go to "Google in English" that was never there before...virus? Malware? Trojan? Odd Google setting that I am unaware of? I wanted to add that I have deleted that troublesome...

    So the 360 HDMI cable will not pass 5.1 audio?

    I have the Halo edition 360 and I hoped that I could run both that and my Sony up-converting DVD player to my HDTV and just run one optical cable to my receiver cutting back on the forest of cables behind my system....no such luck it seems as neither of the HDMI cables seem to want to pass a 5.1...

    The #$%^$# city killed my vegetable garden!

    More so than that they poisoned my childs pool! Me and my gal had planted a nice 9ft by 8ft vegetable garden about two feet from our backyard fence (my yard is very steep and the only flat portion is towards the back near the alley) with tomatoes, bell peppers, onion, garlic, green onions...

    JVC-AV 30W777 HDTV CTR Native Resolution?

    In all my searches on this HDTV there seems to be a bit of confusion as to exactly what the native resolution of the set actually is....is it 1080i or is it 720p? All of the manual and online info from JVC seems to say that it is 1080i but over at AVSForum many folks have said that a tech...

    Here's one many won't remember...Americathon (1979)

    Now I haven't seen Americathon (1979) since 1980 when it was on one of the big three and therefore don't remember if it was good or not but it has stuck with me as something I have had interest in seeing again.....anyone know who owns it and if it will be released on DVD? Hell, for that matter...

    Question about Xbox 1 and 480p component output

    I have a question about Xbox one and 480p component output, I recently got a HDTV and I found an original "advanced component A/V kit" at Gamestop for $9.00 so I thought I would give it a shot.....not sure of what I think about the results. There are only two games that I own that are actually...

    Looking for Mr. Goodbar (1977)?

    When is the Mount going to release this quite good (and fairly disturbing) character/societal study of the 70's pick-up bar lifestyle? It is based on a very good novel of the same name from 1975 that was inspired by the events surrounding the brutal real-life 1973 murder of twenty-seven year...

    The Exorcist: The Complete Anthology

    So I saw this in a box at work for release on the 10th and I was surprised, I had heard nothing on this and I searched the forums but still no word....so what is the deal with this? Are these new transfers for the original films or what? Any details would be much appreciated.

    Any plans for a HD disc version of Digital Video Essentials?

    I should say "when" will it be released rather then "if".

    San Andreas X-Box 2nd edition further edited?

    I know that the Hot Coffee sex mini-game was removed but were there even more edits done? I notice when you pick up a hooker that most of them do not have dialog in the car (after you park) as in the PS2 version....this isn't a big selling point for me but if this is the case then what else was...

    Firefox running slow?

    Is it just me or is HTF and other sites running a bit slow on Firefox? When I use IE HTF is fairly fast but here lately when I use Firefox (my preferred browser) it just seems that quite a few sites just run a bit slower than they did before no matter the time of day or night.

    HTF REVIEW: March Of The Penguins

    What's all this buzz about the film supporting creationism? From what I have seen of it and from the reviews it just looks like a basic documentary to me. NEVER MIND, a little google searching cleared it up. Sorry for the side line.

    wonder showzen?

    Yeah........I just caught this on Comedy Central (although it apparently is produced by MTV2) and at first I thought it was some lost episode of TV Funhouse that I had never seen before...nope, the primary difference between this and TVFH is that this isn't funny in the least, it substitutes the...

    My favorite "from scratch" Shrimp Étoufée recipe

    Way back in 1993 I first saw Emeril Lagasse on Julia Child's PBS show PBS: Julia Child: Lessons with Master Chefs and if you go to that link you can see a video clip of that very show with a very young Emeril cooking this recipe. Here it is: Emeril Lagasse Shrimp Étoufée...

    Directors Where have all the screen cap tourneys gone?

    Are there any screen cap tourneys going on anymore? I ask because I got hooked on a horror/halloween one a few years back but every time I check in the polls area they seem to have Dried up. Any reason?

    Blue Water, White Death?

    I have heard many people talk about this ground breaking 1969 documentary about Great White Sharks but have never had the opportunity to see it, I was wondering if anybody had heard of it getting a DVD release anytime soon?

    The Secret Life Of Machines?

    Who else would love to own this wonderful, fun & dryly humorous series on DVD? I have quite a few taped from back in the early 90's when it was airing on The Discovery Channel but those tapes are not in the best condition and I would love to have the complete 1988-1991-1993 three seasons...

    DVD Tracks gone?

    I see that DVD Tracks* is for sale (the domain name) does this mean that the site is totally gone or has it moved? *DVD Tracks was a site that allowed fans to create and offer their own home-brew commentary tracks for films.

    E-Bay morons

    I was bidding on the game Gothic II for $8.99 as my high price because you can buy this game for $14.00 tax included...S&H would raise the price well beyond this and it wouldn't be worth it....two idiots got into a minor bidding war and raised the price to $16.50 without S&H ....why the hell do...

    Favorite 1st person dungeon crawls/RPG's

    I have always loved this style of RPG and having recently discovered Abandonia I have really gotten the bug again with Eye of the Beholder II and whatnot, so my first question is what are your top 5 favorites, and second are there any new ones being made? Doubtful as the Final Fantasy/ Animi...

    XP "read only" problem?

    I have noticed recently that I can not turn off any of my folders "read only" settings. The check box is highlighted in light blue (it goes from light blue "checked" to clear "checked" to off/unchecked when I toggle it) and when I turn it off and hit apply or OK a window pops up asking if I want...

    Pool Paradise

    Has anyone played this budget title? I took a chance on it at a friends advice and I have not been disappointed, it is a surprisingly well crafted game for a $20 release & although some of the graphics do give away it's budget roots the actual gameplay is solid and the variety of tables, tweaks...

    Is there a reason to "upgrade" to Firefox 1.0?

    I have been using the beta versions of Firefox (currently 9.3) and I have no complaints whatsoever, on the other hand I have heard quite a few complaints of Firefox 1.0 being incompatible with many of the extensions that we have come to love. Is there a good reason to upgrade to V1.0? Is it...
