    Ridley Scott's "Robin Hood" Trailer

    A good year was a Ridley Scott / Russell Crowe movie that missed. It was not as bad as other romance movies my wife rents and I watch with her but it was not good. I want to like this movie but it does remind the viewer of both Gladiator and KoH. Hopefully this will be entertaining enough to...

    ***Official Blu-ray insiders thread

    PaidGeek, are all Blu-Ray discs coated to prevent scratching? Also is it true uncompressed PCM is a stop gap and that Dolby TrueHD and DTS MA are going to be used exclusively in the future? What is the factor that determines which audio codec a release gets?

    Now I am going to have to watch the original version, I thought Kris Kristofferson was a good chunk of the movie, isn't it his son Mel Gibson kidnaps?

    The Transformers: The Movie (1986) 20th Anniversary DVD

    Circuit City has this DVD for $12.99. It has been rare in the last 12 months that BB has the lowest price on any new releases. They have that ability now that they are the market leader.

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: North Country (RECOMMENDED).

    I saw this in the theater and Robert Duvall, Francis McDormand, and Charlize theron all did great. Parts of my family came from up in North MN, and while parts of the North Shore are beautiful it can be bleak looking in the fall and winter boths. Seeing this in the theater there were...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Kingdom of Heaven

    I thought colors were vivid and bright on my 34" tube, but 34" means I never notice EE except the worst offenders. I would like to pooint out the MovieReal was the better of the two documentaries two watch if you want to know the real history. I tried watching Hollywoood vs. history but it...

    I believe this falls under "Personal Video"

    I was looking to spend more for a JVC hard drive one but I want reviews, any good websites online? I hear Panasonic is tops then Sony but I am sure it depends on model. Me personally the only way I would get tape is the Sony HD camera for $2k.

    Best Buy is Crazy!

    Funny, there are no Fry's stores in the MN aread, but I read a few years back in USAToday how horrible customer service was but back then that is where you went cause they had PC parts. Ultimate Electronics is good but going bankrupt. They seem to have the best deal lately on DVD's price plus...

    News Radio: 5/24/2005

    That was a good episode, they all thought there were going to be laid off/fired so Bill does the piano man routine as a second gig. At the end Dave wants Bill to come back and Bill responds, "you want me back now but where were you when I was small time at 9am this morning." My wife never...

    News Radio: 5/24/2005

    Annoying, I cannot find this at BB or CC. CC online even says backordered. Why can't they have enough to meet demand? I will have to get a raincheck from CC since they have the cheapest price.

    New NIN news

    I finally was able to listen to With Teeth a few times. I was majorly dissappointed teh first time, not bad but nothing stood out. However after a few more times the sound is striking with my ears. I love the song With Teeth. I just wish a couple songs had better lyrics and I don't think...

    New NIN news

    I made the mistake trying to get With Teeth DualDisc at SuperTarget last night. The signs are said dualdisc but no mention of dualdisc like TDS had. I asked a clerk who was certain it was the dual so I told him I would only buy it if he opened it and it was what he said. It was the CD version. I...

    *** Official SIN CITY Review Thread

    I liked this movie, still like the comics better but the movie was good. Definitely story driven. My one gripe is that i would like to see these digital movies and not know it is a green screen, which you can tell in this movie and Sky Captain. I imagine over time directors will get better at...

    Is this a pirated DVD?

    I have sold 18 things on ebay including 4 DVD's, I always guaranteed that my auctions were not pirated or burned copies, i suggest searching out those types of sellers on ebay or amazon.

    ALIAS season 4 ongoing thread (merged)

    Dixon has been very underused this season. And I know this show has never been realistic but if the CIA wanted to keep an eye on Sloane why would they put him in charge instead of make him a consultant?

    XBox jaggies on new HDTV

    I have the 34XBR800 and I do not notice jaggies for the most part for 720p games. I do remember trying one of teh baseball games that was 720p and the pitcher and mound where smooth without jaggies but the background was full of jaggies. Games like MX unleashed should not have jaggies or...

    1080p

    because every generation is going to improve on the design. A lot of TV's do not produce a full 1920x1080i resolution, my 34" tube does about ~900x1080i. Would you rather have a second or third gen color TV from the early sixties or a Sony Wega from 2000?

    1080p

    They continually improved SDTV's until recently, every HDTV right now is the worst you will ever have. Stick with what you got or go 720p and wait until 3rd gen 1080p or later is the norm.

    It is also nice to compare the stereo to DD on the one side without flipping the disc as well.

    NIN: Downward Spiral 5.1 remix reviews

    Brand new QA and up today with Trent, he wants to do Pretty Hate Machine in 5.1 as well but working with TVT to get it done might cause trouble. Also with teeth will hopefully have a simultaneous 5.1 release! Also he states nothing was added to the 5.1 mix of TDS.
