    Men In Black (May 25, 2012)

    I pretend the 3rd disc in the Godfather collection is just a bunch of special features I haven't gotten around to watching yet. It helps ease my mind.

    Pioneer elite fd23 won't play some of my blus!

    I just picked this up cause I got a killer deal. Unfortunately, it thinks "King Kong" is an "unkown disc." Any suggestions? Will this be fixed with a firmware update? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I can't get NBC over the air!

    I don't get ABC either, and rooftop antenna is not an option for me since I rent. Well, I guess I won't be watching NBC and will continue to hulu it. Hopefully at some point Hulu apps will available on tivo and in hd. Ah, one can wish.

    I can't get NBC over the air!

    I live in Fort Collins, CO. Just got my tivo set up. It's only purpose: Thursday night NBC lineup (cause I'm tired of watching it on Hulu.) I bought the powered/amplified antenna, got everything set up. Guess what? No NBC. At all. Not even when I punch in the channel it's supposed to be on...

    My interesting HDMI dilema

    I own the InFocus SP5000, a 720p projector. I also own the Sony PDP-300. My Infocus has a M1 (some version of DVI). I bought the HDMI to M1 DVI adaptor. I plugged it in. My blu-ray player froze. I couldn't do anything, not even turn it off. It just stayed frozen in my setup menu. I...

    The latest on Conan, Leno and NBC

    Poor Conan. I like him better than Jay. Conan seems to have more fun and his focus is on getting a laugh, either at his guests expense or his own. Also he's up for doing more "out there" comedy, Jay is more tame and geared toward a slightly older audience. Man, I hope they don't bump Conan for...

    Black Friday 2009 sales thread (DVDs/BDs/videogames/HDTVs/players)

    Dave, thanks but that's not what I'm looking for. The ad says there are over 30 to choose from, but they only show a handful. I'm looking for a complete list of all the movies, if there even is one.

    Black Friday 2009 sales thread (DVDs/BDs/videogames/HDTVs/players)

    Does anyone know if there is a list of all 30 $10 Walmart blurays that are on sale? I have done google searches yeilding no results. I may stand in line if there are a few I want.

    Toy Story 1 and 2 Double Feature in Disney Digital 3-D

    Adam, people have the ability to start their double feature with part 2. My theater actually had managers counting heads each time one of the TS ended to make sure we weren't overselling the theater. You still get your double feature, just in a different order.

    Disney buying Marvel

    Wait, does Disney own the muppets again? I remember in 1999 Columbia bought the rights. What's the deal with Kermit being edited? Is there a link? I'm a huge muppet fan.

    Not getting 5.1 sound with Blue Ray

    Clinton, I have the 300 as well. Sorry to derail the thread, but maybe you could help. I have the firmware upgrade, using analog outs, but there is no indication anywhere in my players settings that I am in fact getting Tru-HD sound. What settings do I need to change? I never owned any Tru-HD...

    *** Official HALLOWEEN II (2009) Review Thread

    Halloween II Starring Wierd Al Yankovick and Sheri Moon Zombie... If that doesn't make you NOT want to see the movie, than by all means enjoy this horrible, silly, un-inspired mess.

    2009 at the Box Office

    Based on what I've seen (in Fort Collins) IB is still packing the theater, while Final Destination is doing fairly well. Halloween II always seems to be wide open as far as seating, even for the evening (5pm-10:45) shows. I wouldn't be surprised if IB holds the #1 spot again.

    is EPIX going to happen?

    Supposedly Epix is the joint venure between Paramount, Lionsgate and MGM. It would be nice to flip on the TV and see Indiana Jones or Iron Man in HD with no extra charge(supposedly). Does anyone know if this is still going to happen? Also, is Showtime just up a creek as far as theatrical...

    PHE Press Release: Braveheart * Gladiator * Forrest Gump (Sapphire Series Blu-ray)

    I was looking forward to this! Well, maybe I'll rent it once just to get my Gladiator fix, but I am not buying it now. I hope Forrest Gump and Braveheart don't suffer the same fate. As much as they are charging for the "Saphire" editions, why didn't they just do it right?

    *** Official "INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS" Review Thread

    Michael, were we watching the same movie? I loved every minute of it. It's exciting, intense, fun and at times completely hilarious! Brad Pitt gives a great performance and Waltz plays menacing "Jew Hunter" with a spark of insanity that really makes you hate him, but you can't wait to see what...

    *** Official G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra Review Thread

    I saw the film yesterday. While there are some good special effects, and a few nifty action sequences, this movie on a whole was a huge letdown. There are some MAJOR plotholes, some pretty fuzzy math, and a plot device at the end of the movie for that "emotional" impact that betrays the...

    Most memorable experience in a movie theater

    Wow, that's cool. I got to see Episode One a few weeks before it came out as well. I was in highschool and Pizza Hut (where I worked) had a tie-in and my boss scored me a pair of tickets. It was at the 16th Street mall in Denver. The energy before the show was incredible. Pearl Harbor test...

    What Blu-ray movies/scenes are best to showoff the full range of your HT system?

    Incredible Hulk is my vote. Amazing picture, the sound will rock your sub, and the sound effects are crystal clear. 2nd vote for King Kong. If you want an example of how good an older movie can look and sound, Top Gun should do the trick nicely.

    What has happened to people?

    Maybe the reason people are bashing Transformers 2 is that it's a dumb, mindless, confusing, silly, over the top horrible movie. I think it's as simple as that. I hated it, and I know I'm not the only one. I'm sure there are people who do diss things and write scathing reviews because they...

    2009 at the Box Office

    You couldn't drag me back to Transformers 2. I've also not heard good things about Ice Age 3 or Public Enemies. First Terminator, now this. This is beginning to be the summer of letdowns. Judd Apatow and Harry Potter are my last hopes! Don't let me down...please.

    *** Official TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN Review Thread

    I screened this a couple of days ago with a few other people. Now, I am not normally one who talks during a movie, but this was an exception since there were only four of us in the theater. Twenty minutes in, we started making cracks at the film every so often. Nothing made sense, nothing was...

    Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)

    Why would Michael Keaton be reprising his role for a Transformers movie? All joking aside, I am starting to actually look forward to this. I hated the first movie, but I saw Shai Lebeouf on Conan and they were talking about the biggest real-life explosion involving the actual actors in movie...

    My Name is Earl season 4

    So NBC is in last place, and they cancel a show with decent ratings? And now their whole lineup will be what? Talk Shows and Reality TV? Oh well, The first four seasons were great, and they will always be on DVD.

    *** Official UP Review Thread

    I really liked this movie. As others have stated, those first 5-10 minutes were not only moving but felt genuine. The dogs were the highlight, especially when Alpha's voice collar malfunctions, and Doug had the funniest moments. Wall-E and Toy Story 2 are my favorite Pixar movies so far, with...
