    Toshiba HD-A20 Reviews?

    I've read that the A20 will have the same video processor that the XA2 has, but will not have the analog outs. It will have HDMI 1.3 though. It's supposed to be out late April/May from what I've heard, and will be available for $449.

    Kevin Smith announces "Clerks 2"

    Even if just for nostalgic purposes, I am really looking forward to this film. The first one is an all-time favorite. I'm definitely willing to give KS and the cast a viewing after providing so much laughter the first time around. Do I expect it to be as good as Clerks? No, but I know I'll...

    Do sex/naked scenes really add anything to film?

    As I get older, I find myself less intrigued by sex scenes. I think in most cases (99%) they don't really add anything to the film. Exceptions are when the films main selling point is the sex (ie Basic Instinct). Most of my favorite films don't have sex scenes in them, so maybe that's why I...

    The Office (US) - Season 1

    I feel like I'm the only one who likes this show (the US version). I haven't seen the BBC one, but I really think NBC's "The Office" is the funniest show on TV. :b The episodes so far this season have been great. And the cast has gotten really good at playing into the cameras.

    What programs for you are best to view in the HD format and why?

    "The Office" also runs the show in letterbox on SD. Must be an NBC thing.

    Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)

    That's definitely true. When you look at how horrible hollywood is doing in general at the box office. Even with movies like Batman Begins & War of the Worlds, box office numbers are still at record lows. The fact that RotS was able to be the fastest film ever to $300M is a testament to how...

    Mits WS-65813... Any Reason To Wait For New Model?

    The replacement model is the WS-65815: http://www.mitsubishi-tv.com/televis...ails.asp?id=93 I think the big changes are that it has HDMI, CableCard, and AMVP2 (which supposedly upscales all images to 1080i). I don't know what the price difference is between the two, but this one is...

    Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)

    Caught my second viewing on Monday. I wouldn't say I was underwhelmed my first time. If anything I was overwhelmed. I waited in line for 7 hours with a bunch of friends. Not to mention the hype building up to the movie. I had been awake since 5am and was working on 3.5 hours sleep. After...

    Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)

    I know people have commented on the whole Palpatine/Plagius creating Anakin thing, I just figured I'd throw my 2 cents in. I don't think Palpatine had a hand in Anakin's conception, I simply think he's reading Anakin's feelings. In RotJ, OW warns luke to bury his feelings, "they do you...

    Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)

    Don't know if this was brought up, but I really thought it was cool when Anakin said, "From my point of view, the Jedi are evil". That really connected with the OT when Obi Wan tells Luke, "you'll find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view" Things like...

    The Office (US) - Season 1

    I like that he's so zany. He's like Kramer from Seinfeld with a job and subordinates. I really hope they don't cancel it. This is really the only sitcom I watch. And I only watch it b/c a friend recommended it to me after the first episode.

    Upscaling/HDef DVD Player merged thread

    Is anybody using and HDMI DVD player with a DVI Monitor? Does that affect the image at all? It may be a dumb question, but I'm looking into an upconverting player (either Toshiba or Pannasonic) and I just don't want to find that I can't upconvert if I have to use an HDMI-DVI converter. Thanks.

    Your worst movie of the year list in this decade from 2000 to present

    Not sure about what year they were released but sucky movies from this decade for me include: Battlefield Earth Bus 174 Men in Black 2 House of Sand and Fog Matrix: Revolutions The Fast and the Furious The Village Cheaper by the Dozen Hands down the worst movie since 2000 thus...

    *** Official THE INCREDIBLES Review Thread

    I guess you can count me among the disappointed. No RotS trailer and then the movie itself was a big letdown. Lots of action, but I didn't find it as humorous as other Pixar films. I thought the cast did a good job with what they had to work with, but I was just disappointed by how much this...

    *** Official STAR WARS DVD Glitch Thread

    I was watching ESB on Saturday and noticed at about the 50 minute mark where Han is making the moves on Leia ("you like me b/c I'm a scoundrel...") That the picture got all distorted for a few seconds. I replayed it and saw the exact same thing. Anyone else experience this? Other than...

    Who here doesn't watch on "home theaters"?

    I agree. If I love a film, then I don't bother to read the DVD review either. In that case I'll suck it up and live with the quality of the A/V/E. When I do read the DVD review is when I am on the fence as to whether or not to purchase, or if I already own a previously released version and...

    Who here doesn't watch on "home theaters"?

    I've been following this thread and thought I'd chime in: As far as DVD reviews go, I'll agree with those who go to places like rottentomatoes.com or IMDB.com to get reviews of the film itself. When I read a DVD review, I'm looking for 2 things, transfer quality and sound quality. These are...
