I made the call and got the Pioneer VSX-LX503. After a few hours of setup, I'm very impressed. I think I waited too long to upgrade :)

After 17 years, I think I'm due for an AV receiver upgrade. I've been happy with the 5.1 performance of my trusty Nakamichi AV-10, but I want something new and fun. Here's what I'm looking for: Ample power to drive my B&W 603 S2s and Velodyne FSX-12 sub. I plan on running 5.1.2 by adding front...

And I'm back. Thanks a lot @Mike Frezon!

Back after a long hiatus

I liked the movie. Routh was well cast. I agree that there wasn't much to like in Lois. I liked Spacey as Lex, but I'm sick of him as Superman's villain. I hope the next one gives us someone new and challenging. The action scenes were very well done and the flying was a big step forward over the...

I loved it. The movie really worked for me. I felt BW's struggle to reconcile his conflicting feelings about his parent's death. I liked how the young BW was emotional, but not hysterical - it plays well with the future Batman's ability to keep his very strong emotions in check, if just barely...

I think this point is really what bugs me about the film. I simply don't buy that wanting to save Padme's life takes Anakin to the Darkside. Not only to the Darkside, but to being a Sith. Lucas didn't think this was enough either, so he through in a few other reasons (to end the war, pissed at...

It didn't pay off for me. I don't buy Anakin's fall. I don't buy that Jedi's are so powerful one minute and then don't even put up a fight the next. The Frankenstein ending with the earth shattering yell produced a chuckle from me, not dread. Prime example: Anakin causes Mace Windu's death...

Wow. You can kinda see that people are caught so off guard, even as it is happening.

Video of tsunami hitting Patong Beach in Thailand: Video here Any others?

Here is the potential writer of Toy Story 3, James Herzfeld, saying he just turned in his draft and giving some pretty detailed info. Disney's is planning a theatrical release and doing this without Pixar. There are some spoilers in this interview. Interview

Fantastic information! Thank you Wayne and Brian. As usual, a few points of clarification are needed. First, my friend is opening his first retail operation and cost is a huge issue, that's why I'm helping him instead of a professional. It sounds like wiring the speakers in series is...

I'm helping a friend wire his retail store with five speakers in the ceiling. The ceiling is way up there, probably 30 feet high. We have access to some scaffolding this weekend, which will make the wiring job easier. The ceiling will remain exposed. These speakers will only be used for...

Looks ok to me. They redesigned the site a few weeks ago.

This was a very powerful episode and hard to watch. I didn't like what was happening. I wanted it to stop. The writers did a fairly good job with the events of the hijack, even with some obvious plot problems (David should have driven off). The actors, especially the hijacker, were fantastic! I...

The Iron Giant Special Edition was announced for last year, then it was pushed out. Does anyone have a clue when the Region 1 version is coming out?

"Before Christmas" is the official word. Most people say sometime in December.

I really liked this episode. The dream sequence was extremely well executed. There were many deep references for fans of the show and fans of movies. And it really felt like a dream. I feel like we are really getting to know Tony as he gets to know himself. This is an extremely painful...

I have an older Linksys AP and was getting pretty bad range with the Linksys PCMCIA card on my laptop. Then I bought a Cisco Aironet 352 Wireless card on ebay and I get GREAT reception from all parts of my house. So it may be your card, not your AP.

Nice find, thanks!

I pre-ordered and hope to have it by the end of the week.

Great list! I'm putting some of these on my wish list. 100-81 (4) 80-61 (6) 60-41 (8) 40-21 (8) 20-1 (12) Runner's up (2)

Very interesting, looks high budget.

I had to edit my original post to include Drive-By Truckers "Decoration Day" because it is rocking me. I had the pleasure of seeing their live show on Friday and two days later I'm still buzzing. Great show, great rock-n-roll band. If you like live rock music make sure to go see them when...

If you're nervous about being nervous, you might want to prepare a bit for the uncomfortable silences that are bound to happen. You could prepare a few light topics of conversation that you can bring up if you find yourself stuck with nothing to say or questions to ask. If things go well and...

I love my Maui Jim sunglasses. They have some of the best lenses available. They protect against multiple angles of glare including bounce back from the inside of the lenses. http://www.mauijim.com/

I'm about to sell my Samsung SIR-T150 OTA-only HDTV receiver. How much are you looking to spend?
