    ALIEN QUADRILOGY discussion thread (including all the glitches)

    After receiving a set with a faulty disc 1 back in December (freezing at around the 1:09:00 and 1:10:15 marks), I decided to send the set back to DDD for an exchange. I got the replacement today - about 3 and a half weeks later - and it had the same problem. I'm getting pissed off, and I don't...

    ALIEN QUADRILOGY discussion thread (including all the glitches)

    Ok, since I have been redirected to this (long ass) thread, I'll repost what I said. There are some problems with Disc 1 of my set. In chapter 18 of the theatrical cut of Alien, there are two times when the movie stops playing. One is at 1:08:46, and the other is at 1:10:15. In my SONY 360...

    *** Official FREDDY VS. JASON Discussion Thread

    Just got back from seeing it. It was just like I thought it would be, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. My only real complaint is that I had very little interest in what was happening with any character who wasn't Jason or Freddy. I would have liked a little more screen time for Jason/Freddy, and a...

    Losing weight - Am I doing everything right?

    Cary, so you're saying jogging for 45 minutes every night isn't a good thing?

    Losing weight - Am I doing everything right?

    More good info. Thanks guys. I'll keep the whole "don't eat bread" idea in mind, but I really doubt I'll entirely give it up. It just doesn't seem realistic to me to go for months on end without any bread at all. Like Robert_Z said, I just like it too much. I will of course only eat whole wheat...

    Losing weight - Am I doing everything right?

    So should all cereal be avoided? How about Grape Nuts? That is my favorite. It sure tastes healthy...

    Losing weight - Am I doing everything right?

    Chris PC - You say avoid bread. What about wheat bread? That's the only kind I eat anyway.

    Losing weight - Am I doing everything right?

    Thanks for the replies, and congrats to all who have been successful. I really hope I can get there eventually. I think I will keep doing what I'm doing, and maybe add weight lifting. Like you all said, I will just have to see if it works. If it doesn't, I will try something else - maybe a more...

    Losing weight - Am I doing everything right?

    Just recently I made the decision to get in shape. I'm 20 years old, 6'1", and 212 pounds. I'd like to get down to 180. About a week ago I began jogging on my treadmill for 45 minutes a day. I have also been staying away from all unhealthy foods, or basically anything with a lot of fat and/or...

    Having problems with my DVD-ROM (Pioneer DVR-105)

    I just got a new computer with the Pioneer DVR-105 drive. I'm using Windows XP. At first I was unable to play any region-coded DVDs. Anytime I tried to play a region 1 disc, the movie would try to play, but I only got faint, choppy audio and no video. Either that, or the programs would just...

    A survey on movie violence. Please help me out.

    Damn. I just realized I messed up on question #15. It should have been "If you answered yes to #14..." I renumbered the questions a few times and didn't catch this. For those who already answered, don't worry about it. For those who haven't replied yet, I will go back and change it. I'm...

    A survey on movie violence. Please help me out.

    Please take all these questions at face value, and try not to over-anylize them. I know there are many movies that contain violence that don't get an R rating, but I had to set a standard since many people have a different idea of what "violent" is. Thanks a lot for the help so far guys...

    A survey on movie violence. Please help me out.

    I am conducting a survey on movie violence for my Sociology class. I am trying to determine whether or not real life violence is related to movie violence, and if so, in what way and to what extent. All I need is for you guys to answer these 15 questions. You may elaborate on any of them. Also...

    Original Japanese "Ring" Finally Coming to the US?

    Here's the AV Channel release, from cdwow.net. http://www4.cd-wow.net/detail_result...duct_code=2641 I got this a while back, and am very pleased with it. It's region 0, PAL, and this site has free shipping to the US, so the total was $15.95. I believe it's the same transfer as the Tartan...

    The Ring DVD- Whats the difference between these two versions?

    I just received the AV Channel version from CD WOW, and it is great. I was worried about buying a DVD that nobody seems to even know about, but everything is fine. It seems to be exactly like the Tartan version as far as transfer and subs(from what I've read), only with some extra promotional...

    The Ring DVD- Whats the difference between these two versions?

    Jeff Kleist, When you say they are the same discs, do you mean they are both the Tartan release, just with a different cover?

    The Ring DVD- Whats the difference between these two versions?

    I am looking to buy a Region 0 version of this movie (I will use my DVDRom since I can't convert PAL on my TV), and I have come across two official versions. What are the differences? Which is better? First one: http://www.streetsonline.co.uk/commo...l?pid=10938166 Second one: Link...

    Some subwoofer questions

    My sub is the Sony SAWM40, and my receiver is the Yamaha HTR-5540. Questions: 1. I am using the LINE input on my sub. Do I need to worry about the frequency cutoff knob on the sub? 2. If the answer to the last question is yes, what do I set it to? it ranges from 50 to 170 hz. I can't...

    Question about Video Essentials/rear speakers

    I am trying to use VE to calibrate my speakers. When the test tone passes to the rears, is the sound supposed to come only from one speaker at a time? For me, when the tone plays the left rear, you can still hear some sound from the right rear (not as much as the left, but some nonetheless)...

    My subwoofer cable - can I use it as a coaxial cable?

    So the cable needs to be 75 ohms to be used as coaxial, but I don't know if the cables in question are 75 ohms or not. It doesn't say on them. I also don't know if they are specifically subwoofer cables or not.

    My subwoofer cable - can I use it as a coaxial cable?

    I am planning to use the coaxial connection on my new receiver, and I am looking for the right cable. But today, I noticed that the cable I am currently using for my sub's "line" output is actually two cables, one of which is just dangling there. I bought the cable a year or so ago, so I don't...

    Do I really need an SPL meter?

    I am getting my new digital receiver in a few days, and I have been reading that I should use an SPL meter to properly calibrate my speakers. Will calibrating my speakers with an SPL be a huge difference over calibrating with my ears? Is it one of those high tech, audiophile things? Or would...

    Question about front speaker height

    Thanks a lot Ed! By the way, did you try copying and pasting the URLS? I think that should work.

    Question about front speaker height

    I just ordered my new front speakers (Polk RT35i's), and I am now looking for speaker stands. That seems like it wouldn't be a very big deal, but I have a delima. My center speaker is set up so that it is fairly high above my TV, and I really have no other place to put it. What I need to know...

    Best price for Polk RT35i's?

    Thanks John, but I really need to stick with Polks to match my pre-existing Polk speakers.
