    Lost: Season Six

    This is what I really wanted as well, but I don't see it happening. Jacob vs. Man in Black has nothing to do with the initial setup of LOST in regards to the science fiction aspect of the island. It's going to make revisiting the series lose quite a bit of luster. Even the entire Jacob v...

    Lost: Season Six

    I'm worried Lost will not last for repeat viewings for me if I feel like major portions of the show were just red herrings, mainly the "why did women start dying when giving birth" arc that seemed a central point of the story. That being said, I have definitely enjoyed the journey the first...

    Lost: Season Six

    This entire series is turning into a kind of "The Usual Suspects" or "The Sixth Sense" for me. Once it's over I simply have to go back and watch it all again from an enlightened viewpoint. And I look forward to it.

    Lost: Season Six

    Good point Joseph! I stand corrected. I don't remember the Christian in LA scene. I'm intrigued as to what was said in that exchange now, if anything.

    Lost: Season Six

    I agree. This could have been a watershed moment, but there was a very uneasy feeling about the reunion. I don't have a problem with the Christian revelation. It's kind of like the explanation of the whispers. It works for me. I'd have to go back and rewatch every episode in order to...

    Now I dont know what to think

    I think you will find that most people that love HT and audio started with Bose. Before the internet you had Bose and their marketing on one side, the high end boutique showrooms on the other. So most people could go to a large electronic chain and pay a little more for their Bose speakers and...

    Walmart orders 2 million $299 HD DVD players, in stores soon!

    Some of your attitudes on this forum about the intelligence level of the typical Wal Mart shopper makes me want to gag. Television manufacturers make widescreen televisions now. People will want to buy a video player that takes advantage of the new television. Sub 300 dollars is the price point...

    PS3's now meeting demand

    I was just in a Des Moines best buy store and they had about 5 on the shelf. the ps3 is priced like a piece of high end equipment. I just don't see the masses shelling out that kind of money. Which is why you can't find a wii anywhere. It's that sub 300 price point that makes parents AND...

    Paradigm 20's v 60's

    The 40's have always been the jewel of the studio line. And I'm not just saying that because I own 2 of them. Well, maybe I am. I do know that I have traded in studio 20's and was never a big fan of the 60's.

    Forensic Files has ruined movies

    I find so little on TV nowadays, but have TiVo'd and watched every episode of Forensic Files. Love that show! I always joke with the Mrs. that I am watching the show to find the perfect way to dispose of her without getting caught! ;) Well it seems like anymore I watch a movie and can't get...

    Superman Returns (2006)

    Nostalgia reigns supreme at the HTForum. There are cringe moments with S:TM for me. SR had none of those moments for me.

    Superman Returns (2006)

    I thought this was the best comic book movie I have seen. I hear so many people comparing Routh to Reeve, Singer to Donner, Returns to Superman: The Movie. I think if these people would have forgotten their cinematic pasts and just went into the theater with a clean slate they would have...

    M. Night Shyamalan Blasts Disney in New Tell-All Book

    I enjoyed the movie until the alien in the big rubber suit came into the living room. All I could think of was 'Sweet Fancy Moses! $100 bazillion dollar movie and you have to ruin it with a dude in a cheap rubber suit?'

    Film Downloads, What's the catch?

    Paul is a DVD collector. He would choose the option on the left. The blue pill!

    Film Downloads, What's the catch?

    I remember when I first started using the net I would go to my hometown (dayton, ohio) newspaper website and print all the stories for the day about my beloved Reds and Bengals. I would then read them immediately following. It was as if my mind said to me 'you can't just read it on the...

    Film Downloads, What's the catch?

    :) and you can buy Miles Davis' Kind of Blue for less than you can get Kevin Federline's newest release (Mr. Britney Spears.) Oh the Humanity!

    Film Downloads, What's the catch?

    Good point. But they are not chopping off the ends of the track. They are just compressing it. They compress movies to fit on DVD. The compressed movies to fit on VHS (even OAR VHS.) With each new technology the compression gets better and the picture and sound improve (VHS - LD - DVD -...

    Film Downloads, What's the catch?

    I'm sure there were people who didn't want to use cars because they were too fast, and dangerous. I'm glad a select few had faith in that technology. Hard drives are getting better. There are portable hard drives that can backup your entire collections. I understand a lot of HTF people...

    Film Downloads, What's the catch?

    Ha! And a lot of them are mixing and sequencing PURE CRAP. I like to listen to some hip hop and rap music when I workout. Why would I want to buy an entire album of crap for the one or two songs that are descent on the album? I still buy CD's off Amazon of artists that I know are putting...

    Film Downloads, What's the catch?

    I don't know about this. What if you had to ride the subway an hour to work every day? You don't think it would be nice to watch a few tv shows or a movie en route to work? The screen on the iPod keeps getting bigger and better with each new generation. I think many people here think of...

    Film Downloads, What's the catch?

    You are a DVD COLLECTOR. You are not the target audience for this. It's a new digital age. If it were the same quality as dvd then imagine you wake up on a Monday morning and you have a flight somewhere. You queue up universal.com and notice king kong is available for download. You click a...

    DVD Review HTF Review: Get Rich or Die Tryin'

    I'm going to put this in my dvd rack to give me more street cred.

    Does anyone here enjoy the films themselves?

    Don't sweat anything Nicholas. There are people on this forum who associate some kind of personal worth with the size of their DVD collection. It's a typical collectors mentality. Don't be sorry for asking a legitimate question.

    Checked Out Speakers Today

    That $900 is for the satellites and sub, not just the sub. So many SVS honks on this forum it's getting rediculous at times.

    Made my decision for IRiver H10 over IPod Mini and IRiver H320 for audio device.

    I had an iRiver player. I really liked it. Then I got an iPod. The best thing the iPod has going for it is the seamless integration between iTunes/iPod. The music store is fantastic. Apple got this thing right. It's so easy it's sickening. This is the way software/machine are supposed...

    iTunes question

    I never saw a digital out on the Airport Express Base Stations. I see it has a miniplug, but I thought that was analog only, that the airport has to do the DAC. The Airport website says this: 3.5mm mini-Audio jack for analog or optical digital sound How can you get optical out of a...
