    My reason to live: College

    I just got back from what was invariably the best day of my life. A little backstory here. First off, I was a fat child thoughout elementary. I then lost the weight and went to a very small private school from 6th grade to this, my Senior year. Add all that with the fact that I've always been...

Supposedly they will also take...

    Disney: Please release HEAVYWEIGHTS on DVD

    *** Official "REIGN OF FIRE" Discussion Thread

    I saw it Monday night, here's my review. Great concept, heck it is a wonderful concept, but it falls short of the promises that it makes. For a movie about dragons there are surprising few that actually show up on screen and in action. There aren't grand battles with dragons nor anything that...

    What is a good 6 speaker set for 2000 - 3000?

    A guy I know wants me to design and build his new HT. He's willing to put around 2 to 3 grand into a 6 or 7 speakers set-up. What are good matched speakers for such a price?

    Linux newbie. Complete newbie....

    Alright, I just got an old 200Mhz system working that has been down for a few years and I mfigured I would use it for "testing" so to say. My first experiment on the machine I was hoping to do was install Linux on it. But as I search for a distribution and any kind of FAQ, I just get deeper into...

    Ok, I'm either going to get that 4 disc set with the nice packaging or all 3 of the 2 disc sets that came out for the SE's. Opinions wanted on to get either: A. 4 disc set. or B. The 3 two-disc sets. Can I be any more blunt?

    LOTR 4-disc and 5-disc Coverart. Might want to see these.

    If it has been discussed or shown a bazillion times, then by all means delete my post. 5-disc: 5-Disc front view: 4-Disc: There you are. EDIT - Lock me down. I missed the big post somehow. I scrolled 2 times and STILL missed it.

    Jerry Goldsmith dropped out of LSO concert due to illness. :(

    Well, color me VERY dissapointed. The London Symphony Orchestra and Jerry (Star Trek, Poltergeist, and a whole lot more) Goldsmith were set to perform "Hollywood Greats" in only TWO places in the US. One was to be in Nashville and the other in Birmingham, Alabama. Of ALL PLACES they were coming...

    Yes! Green Day in Birmingham!

    No, not the classy Birmingham, England, but the one where I live in Alabama. Finally after what seems and eternity of waiting I get one of my 3 favorite bands! (still alive) Of course Blink 182 and Jimmy Eat World are tagging along which is alright, but Green frikin' Day! You don't know how...

    How do movies achieve "The Look?"

    Alright, I'm going to be making a short film for class and I was wondering how movies get their look. Is it the 24fps framerate? High resolution? Grain? Color? Or a combination of everything? How do they set apart the film look from the video look. And on what kind of new video recorder...

    What is an impressive weight for a leg press?

    Hi, I've been working out after school for about a month and I've have recently been alternating on the leg press. Right now, I'm at 600 (that includes the weight I put on which are 10 of the 45s (450) and the machine part that I lift which is 150). I'm 187 pounds and can bench press 235. I'd...

    OK, Who owns The Ben Stiller show rights?

    I'm assuming Fox owns the rights to put the 13 episodes on dvds. Am I right? If that is the case, then PLEASE Mr. Staddon!! Who else would buy if this were to come out?

    Dancer in the Dark - Does it exist?

    I went to rent a few movies the other night. I usually have a list and on yesterday's list were Made, Primal Fear, Following, and Dancer in the Dark. I found the first three right away, but DITD was not to be found. Long story short, and 10 rental outlets later, I do not believe either the DVD...

    Old computer projector has scrolling lines. WTF?

    Alright, I have been assigned to fix the school'd projector before Monday. I will be doing the dirty deed tomarrow around 4:00 Central. Anybody know what would cause a projector to scroll horizontal lines vertically down the computer output image onto the screen. I don't have any idea about...

    Best projector? Under 10 grand.

    I'm getting a projector, and I want the most beatiful picture imaginable. Prices should be kept under 10,000 dollars. Gimme your picks.

    Is Hip-hop approaching a collapse like hair bands 11 years ago?

    I've been observing the music scene like many of you fine patrons for the past couple of years and I've had a thought buzzing in my mind and wanted your opinion. Rap is dead. Hip-hop has taken it's place. Now, when I say "Hip-hop" I mean these groups and or people, "Eminem, Bubba Sparxxx...

    What to wear to the London Symphony Orchestra?

    Well, I just purchased a ticket to the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Jerry Goldsmith. I was wondering, what might be proper attire to such an evening? I've never been to concert where they don't have topless women and beer before. Help out a clueless redneck. :) P.S. - Stupid quesion I...

    The Matrix Revisited - Bad Pressing?

    I wanted to know if this was just me. If you access the Matrix Trailer (click here) , is it screwed up on your disc too? First is when Trinity jumps over the street, I noticed right be fore she lands, there are a couple of frame cut/repeats. Also the 3rd green message displayed "On April 2nd...

    Aerosmith cancelled 4 hours before the show!!!!!

    If you were to touch me right now, you would feel the cold fire of hell's rage burning your flesh. That is because the Aerosmith concert I was about to go to was cancelled just 4 fucking hours before the show! Reason being (if you can beleive this) the civic center's scoreboard fell through...

    Yeah! Green Day's International Superhits: The DVD!

    One of my 3 favorite bands has released a video compilation DVD and I thought I might share in hopes that anyone out there gives a damn. It includes all 15 of their videos in the format we have come to know and love. (and without those MTV bugs.) Also, the official site says it is to have 18...

    Need a Cell Phone and plan, any suggestions?

    Well, I being the last human being in America without one, I'm finally making the plunge. But somehow it feels much harder than when I got into HT. It feels like you could either get a good deal or royally f*cked. I'd like to know where I could see comparisons of different phones, but mainly...

    Which is better? Models or CGI?

    I'm getting pissed off by CGI in movies lately. I REALLY didn't like the use of CGI in Episode I. Star Wars is about models, not cartoony CGI spaceships. Now you may say, "but cgi is the norm and can look better than models." I would just tell you to look at Independence Day. It is the best...
