I don't know if anyone here has seen or heard of this little known indie Canadian film. It was released on DVD a month ago, I couldn't find it anywhere so I placed a special order at HMV and went to pick it up today. I looked at the specs on the back and there is absolutly no mention of...

After reading about Shaolin Soccer's delay, I went to check on http://www.cinemamontreal.com (My source for showtimes where I live) and went in the upcoming movies http://www.cinemamontreal.com/cm/que...ng-movies.html and noticed a movie called "11.09.2001" released on September 11th. I would...

I just got back from the store with Animatrix (The version with the soundtrack CD in it) and when I opened it up, taking out the snapper and the CD from the slipcase and to my horror! The Snapper Case cover was all in french! Even though the outside Slip-Case was all in english. While this is...

I installed XP back in November and when I wanted to participate in the online chat with Fox I found out that XP won't run Applets unless you have SP1 installed. So recently after some memory and hard disk problems, I needed to reinstall Windows so I installed SP1 so I could run Java Applets and...

Tonight was according to the ad during The Simpsons the season finale. While nothing special happend that could have us wait for the next season like many shows do and also that Mid-April is an odd time to end a season and that it's had less than 10 episodes. Was the show canceled?!?!?

Anyone else remembers this movie? I used to like it a lot when I was a kid and recently while talking with friends this movie was brought up. I was wondering who owns the rights to it and if it will be released on DVD.

For the past 5-6 months or so I've been using Maxell HP-1000's for my music listening on the bus/subway and at work. Now today, I got a complaint that surrounding co-workers are disturbed by my music even though I am using headphones. So I guess they are pretty bad at directing the sound only...

My dad recently bought a Compaq Presario Laptop which he mainly uses at work and on the road but brings it home too. The machine has a DVD Drive in it, a video card with a S-Video out and today we tested and it worked. But the TV he has it connected to (Sony Wega 27") is 16x9 Squeeze capable...

About 6-7 Years ago, I had a WAV file which I believe is a sound byte from a movie which I loved to use as a Windows Startup Sound. Anyone could tell me what movie it's from? It goes like this: "You think you're funny huh? [Shotgun Pump],[Gun Fire] Fuck You! [Shotgun Pump],[Gun Fire] Fuck...

I have a Maxtor 60 Gigs HD that is less than a year old (Bought in April 2002) and now when I boot, it says S.M.A.R.T. Status BAD - Backup and Replace. It started saying this since yesterday. Does that mean that my hard disk will crash soon? Should I get it exchanged for a new one? (As it's...

I don't know if anyone here knows these 2 russian girls and that infamous lesbian kiss in the video. I just bought their album 2 days ago and really like it. Doing some research on them revealed that they are basically yet another manufactured dance/pop group that didn't write their own songs...

Recently, my Windows XP has had a lot of weird problems. Blue Screen while copying files, burning CDs (euh, coasters hehe) and in many cases won't even boot. Some "Missing Entry Points in [...].dll" errors were popping up and just trying again sometimes worked. Now I try to reinstall Windows...

I bought the Melissa Etheridge DVD Set (Live and Alone) and on disk 2, there are 2 tracks in 96/24. In my player's manual it states that if the disk is Copy-Protected it will downsample to 48khz. Playing it I noticed it's clearer than what I'm used to and I hear no difference between the Digital...

On my Visa card for a long time I had an insurance thing that cost me a lot (Basically doubling the interest charges) so that if I lose my job, get sick or something terrible like this, they would make payments for me or something. After many years of this, I came to the conclusion that it was a...

I saw the 24 Series 1 Boxset for about 60$ Cdn... For 24 Eps of an hour each, sounds like a good deal. But what is this show about? I know that each episode = 1 hour of a particular day, but what happens during that day? If it's the kind of thing I like, I might buy it sight unseen...

For some reason, whenever I set my refresh rate to 70 or 75hz (Regardless of Resolution, from 640x480 to 1600x1200) the screen flickers and shakes a little. But at 60hz everything is fine (Other than the fact that having a refresh rate in sync with the room's lighting hurts the eyes) I'm...

I've heard several time here the expression "Jumping The Shark" about a TV Series getting out of ideas for new episodes. Why is it called like that?

I know that the way to tell the difference between Super 35 and Panavision is when there are out of focus lights, they are not round in Panavision. I mentionned this to my father who's a semi-professionnal photograher and he (as well as I) don't understand why it causes that side-effect. Is...

Now, when I boot, sometimes the WAV file that plays at logon skips! Then when all programs load (Stuff like Seti, E-Mail, ICQ, StopZilla, Webshots) it takes noticably longer than before. The only 2 things that I remember doing that COULD have caused this are: 1. Added a 27 Gig HD which was...

My father is looking to buy a DVD Player and so far we found good prices on these 2 models. The Pioneer is about 30$ (Cdn) cheaper than the Panasonic and he'd like to know if there is any difference between the 2 that would make the Panasonic worth the extra 30$. Any reliability/compatibility...

I think it was around the early 90s I saw this movie and for some reason, I've been thinking about it lately and wondering what the title was. It's about a man who was very mean to ladies all his life then died. He got to the purgatory and they decided that to be allowed in heaven he must be...

For many years I was using the ATI TV Tuner card with various ATI Video cards... The combinasions were: - 3D Pro-Turbo (PCI) w/ ISA TV Tuner. - XPert@Work (PCI) w/ ISA and PCI TV Tuner - Xpert 128 (PCI) w/ PCI TV Tuner (Still in the machine) All worked fine under Win95/98 but recently I...

Men With Brooms (Canadian version) supports Pan & Scan on the Fly. So far only canadian releases seem to support that.

I went to the photo lab to drop a few rolls of film and I noticed they are doing transfer of most format (Including 8mm) to DVD. My dad has maybe an hour worth of 8mm movies that he took of me, my sister and other stuff when we were young. Are there multiple "Formats" in which it's...

Sometimes I click on a thread with the arrow icon meaning it was moved and it asked me for a password. Why? The only explanation I could think of is that something went wrong in the thread (Regarding HTF Rules) but what would make a mod move a thread to an unaccessible section as opposed to...

I mean the movie starring Jennifer Lopez... I know a lot of people hated it but I liked it. And I intend to buy the DVD. Knowing Columbia's tendancy to release movies that are not so good (I rather use the term underappreciated but you know what I mean) in Superbits. Is Enough likely to be...

I have a few questions regarding calibrating speakers with the S&V disk. I'm using 4 Paradigm Titans with a CC-170 and a Kenwood HTiB Sub (To be upgraded to a SVS 0r at worst a Paradigm sub as soon as cash permits) powered by a Kenwood VR-509. First, I calibrated my system back in may when I...

About 10-12 years ago, there was a new technology that was introduced (It might be specific to Montreal though) that allowed for some user interactivity on TV shows. The way this worked, there was an interactive TV Channel which actually was 4 channels and depending on the specific show, the...

I recently tried out the Ogg Vorbis format and started copying all my CDs in that format instead of MP3s. I'd like to know, MP3 Playback is pretty much standard on at least half the DVD Players today, but do any play Ogg files? Or is it possible that one that currently supports MP3 (Say...

When I go on the Ogg Vorbis website and when I go to the download section to download the WinAmp plug in, all I get is a link to WinAmp's Website, and doing a search there yeilds nothing. A Music website I visit is posting their samples in Ogg Vorbis and I can't play them. (And I want to...
