The attempted hit on Hank was just about the most tense thing I've seen in TV show. Although Hank is a central character its not inconceivable that he could be killed off; unlike Walt who in a similar situation you know has to live for the show to continue.
One thing I didn't see anyone mention...
I'm surprised by some of the comments I've read on here.. but to each their own I guess. In my opinion this was bad on an epic scale. When a big movie comes out people who don't like it often make gross exaggerations about how much they disliked it. But in this case.. I couldnt believe the...

If thats true its the lamest thing I've read in awhile. I can just see half the audience letting out a giant "booo" during that moment since its going to draw so much attention to what they did to get the rating.
I think the worry is they will find a creative way to cover up the motherfucker part of it. Which is going to draw a lot of attention to it and create a groan moment. I hope they get away with actually putting it in as the mpaa lets them get away with 1 or 2 f words. But usually the...
I just checked out the official website and it lists the rating as pg-13. :-( I want to not see this and encourage all my friends to stay away as well, but I'll probably cave. After all watered down Die Hard is better then no Die hard. Hopefully despite my business the movie will fail in such...
I thought I would chime in here since I was looking for a switcher. Not nearly as cheap as the monoprice, but Bestbuy carries a switcher with remote for 200 found in the videogame section. Obviously thats significantly more, though I picked it up because it also has ports for toslink. It has...
It sounds like an issue with the files themselves. It sounds like the files are anamorphically enhanced but the dvd player is not recognizing them as such. Not sure what the solution is.
I don't know if this is news anyone cares about here, or if this news is not something already known. But at a departmental meeting I heard there are officially plans now for a network to switch both their 24 news network and their 24 hour business news network to hd next year. Obviously I'm...
I understand the sensitivity. But it was short notice. And you have to figure more people died this weekend in car crashes. If there had been a skit involving a car crash would that have been insensitive? I think this is too much for family and friends of the victims to see, but they probably...
While that was certainly true of the Matrix sequels I think there is just too much business for Pirates. It shows that there are repeat viewings going on. Obviously a large number of people (myself included) really enjoyed the sequel.
I disagree with the assessment that the movie is trying to setup Jack as the bad guy. I do agree that Davy Jones is not necessarily the bad guy. But clearly Lord Beckett is. It was hard to follow the plot, but it was apparent that Lord Beckett is not ridding the world of pirates for good. He...
Although I agree with the problems everyone has mentioned with the film (length, convulted plot), I think that when the movie works, it really works and I can't wait to see it again. I am a little aprehensive about the 3rd movie though. The problem I agree with the most is that the vilain in...
I mentioned he was not a pirate not to suggest he isnt quick or clever like Jack, just that not being a Pirate he would have no knowledge of the legend of the flying dutchmen or davy jones.
I thinks Superman's problems have nothing to do with Pirates. Look I think Superman is a great movie, but for whatever reason I dont think it is clicking with most people as a must see movie. I went to see it Thursday night of the opening week at a 10pm show. Only 2 people other then my friend...
I dont have hdtv, but I have watched my high definition cable box on my 4805 and my x1 and on both it was noticeably better then dvd. This has been discussed at avs and I believe it was explained that even though you can only still see 480 lines of resolution, on a dvd there is only 480...
I have been getting more dropouts the last few weeks too on my Sirius unit in my car. I have noticed the dropouts seem to be on roads with a lot of tree cover. My guess is perhaps that now that its summer, the leaves being in in the trees block the line of sight. Is this a logical guess?
I think if they are going to release some of these titles in this format it should be the only hd-dvd release and have no price premium. I actually would be interested in these releases as I like to lend out a lot of movies to friends who probably won't be buying into hidef for years, also I...
I think those are a lot of good points. But the playstation brand name means a lot. If game studios only have the budget to develop for either the ps3 or the xbox 360, I see a lot of them siding with Sony for the first year its out. Now I would love to for Sony to fall flat on its ass, don't...
I'm not the expert here, I only occasionaly pop in here since I probably am another year away from buying into bluray/hd-dvd, but I believe all the officially announced Bluray players are rumored to be in the 1k range. I am curious about how manufacturers selling Bluray players feel about a...
Can anyone point out what the differences were in the "unrated" version vs theatrical? I really couldnt think of anything while watching, though to be fair I only saw the theatrical once months ago.
I'm pretty sure she was shown interacting with others before even meeting Hurley. Plus I specifically remember Sawyer taunting Hurley about his interest in her.
I have another question as it pertains to users with only 480p displays. I have a infocus 4805, which of course is a 480p resolution display device. I feed it a 1080i signal from my cable box and movies in hd are noticeably more vibrant. Other users have noticed this and have pointed out that...
Well, from reading posts on Sirius backstage, this was a common request. So it is great that Stern seems to be listening to his fans. Now if only he could convince Artie to host an hour of programming himself, instead of letting losers like King of all blacks then I would be really impressed.
Obviously its easier to catch his show now, then when he was on Terrestrial radio, and on once a day period. But with two stations of just Stern, there is no reason he can not cover afternoon drive time. I wouldnt mind if they carried his channels online. And I am not going to run out and buy a...
I think the topic is self explanatory, but I will elaborate anyway. Because of my work schedule, I am not in my car when Stern is live. I just recently got a Sirius reciever and I was shocked at how little the actuall Stern show is replayed. I mean with two channels to program I can't believe...
Yeah, big tracks is now my second most listened to music station on xm. I still wouldnt get rid of my Sirius unit though. There still arent comparable stations on XM to hairnation, buzzsaw and hard attack. I also feel that Octane on Sirius is superior to Squizz which in my opinion plays too much...
The early adopters are beyond impatient (I even bet many nay sayers here are tempted to try out hd-dvd assuming it rolls out soon as planned). With 500 dollar players, and the possibility that bluray could be close to a year away will get many early adopters to give hd-dvd a try, imho. I mean...
I hear repetition, but no more then xm so far (again, just in regards to rock stations) . However I hear stronger focus on specific artists. I was never going to dump XM though. Keep in mind I probably don't listen to either service nearly as much as you guys. So anyway, it may take me quite...
