    *** Official NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN Discussion Thread

    Good points. I wonder how the coin toss would have turned out as Chiguhr already lost once at that game.

    *** Official NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN Discussion Thread

    I finally saw it today. While I cannot say I understood everything and have all the answers, I did see a theme there I thought was interesting. The theme was that sometimes we can control fate, but do not realize it. But sometimes we also think we can control fate but we cannot. Llewelyn...

    FS: Toshiba 46H84 Local Pickup Only

    Great set, great picture, but I'm moving to NH and need to get rid of my TV as I don't want to haul it 2000 miles. $750 makes it yours.

    Your movie/tv show opposites. Where u go against the masses?

    For the most part, all of the Star Wars and LOTR films are boring to me. The first Matrix was great, the other two were like Sci-Fi Channel original movies.:thumbsdown: The Warriors is one of the most underrated movies of the 70s. Return of the Living Dead is a much better film to me...

    ALIAS season 4 ongoing thread (merged)

    What was up with Sloan's glasses tonight? Did he get them out of a box of Lucky Charms? Also, I died laughing when Jack brushed off Marshall during the mission and Marshall responded with: "Vaughn invitied me to lunch (smarmy look)"

    ever heard of RAINBOW parties?

    Was it Rick Derris and Gwen Turner? I think she looked just like Burt Reynolds that night. Except for the mustache.

    Tribute Bands

    The best tribute bands I have seen live are the Kiss tribute band "Strutter", and the Beatles tribute band here in Dallas "Hard Days Night". The don't try to dress or look like the Beatles but they sound just like them. It's scary.

    Ever hear of Rave Theatres?

    I like the Rave in Hickory Creek also except for the crowds. It is such a pain in the ass sometimes, but depending when you go it can be okay. I'm interested to see how the new Cinemark in Denton is going to go. The theater I most usually frequent is the UA behind BootTown in Lewisville...

    I was shushed at the movies!

    During commercials I don't give a crap if someone talks. During previews, I prefer people no talk but I am not going to shush them because ultimately, I am not paying for the previews. However, once the feature starts I will take action. Usually a menacing look, first and if that doesn't work...

    RPTV picture quality?

    How close are you sitting? I'm sitting 6' away from the same set and not having these problems so it might not be all your set.

    RPTV picture quality?

    Have you check your cables? I have had the same TV for about a week and am using a cheap Sony P-Scan player, and mine looks great. If your HDTV picture looks good your component cables may be bad. Even before your try other cables try using those cables on the second component input and see...

    The Warriors Anniversary Dvd Se

    One of my favorite movies of all time. I wish they could do a reunion with all the surviving main cast members for a commentary. Walter Hill made a lot of turkeys, but I don't think people realize how many good flicks he made (including Crossroads in '86). I may have to watch The Warriors...

    *** Official COLLATERAL Discussion Thread

    I could recyccle a lot of the things already being said here, specifically many of the positives, but i'll just say this. It is not often that I have really felt like I have gotten to know a character as well as I did with Max. I think his personality and traits were developed very well. Kudos...

    "WOW!" Moments in the Movies

    I did not look through the whole thread, but here are some of my favorites: Poltergeist: "Mommy, they're here" The Color Purple: Miss Celie preparing to shave "Mister" and Shug running to stop her,OMFG!!, Shug singing her way to the curch followed by the entire juke joint. I think these are...

    I need a camera. Digital or other?

    If you really do your homework, you may be able to get a Fuji S7000 under $400 or even it is more it is worth splurging. Great camera (and 6 MP to boot). If not you can always go for the F700. Ultra compact but takes great pictures (matrixed 6MP). Here are some I took. I shot at 3.2 MP and...

    A combination of patience, luck, and slow movement (especially butterflies). It tool me about 30 minutes to get the shots of the monarchs. John, Thanks for the feedback. I am starting to use the rule of thirds more, I had been so caught up in trying to "dial" myself in with my cameras with...
