    Do you have a favorite writing instrument?

    When I write, I don't care about the type of pen, but when I start a story I need to use the same pen all the way through or until the pen runs out of ink. Just a little quirk of mine. My wife has heard: "Where the F***k is my PEN?!" more than a few times. :D

    *** Official STAR TREK (2009) Discussion Thread

    Liked it. But would rank it probably 4th in all the Trek movies overall. The whole Spock-as-momma's-boy thing just didn't work for me, although that was really the only thing that stood out along the way watching it, the others came afterward. Since it's all been covered here nicely, won't go...

    A Blu-ray player [Sony BDP-S550] that will do EVERYTHING! (Verified)

    Only certain players do SACD on the PS3. My launch day 20G plays them, but newer models dropped that feature.

    VSX -92TXH Pioneer Elite sub with stereo mode

    I listen to 2-channel music all the time and my sub works nicely. The only thing I can think of is that you haven't changed it from LARGE to SMALL, which it defaults to after using the microphone.

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ How the West Was Won -- in Blu-ray

    Can't wait to watch this one, in the HT and on the bedroom plasma.

    Sony Bdp-S300: Dolby TrueHD with latest firmware

    Actually, just sold my 300 for $200. Time to upgrade, but the machine has been a nice for the bedroom.

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ The Lost Boys -- in Blu-ray

    Was really surprised by how excellent this one looked, on both my bedroom plasma and the HT projector! And the sound was no slouch either. Went from rental to purchase immediately.

    Famed guitarist Jeff Healey dead at 41...

    Oh wow. I'm just stunned. Why is it I always seem to find this sort of news on a Monday? RIP, Jeff.

    Finally caught up with the 5 episodes I've had on the DVR, so now I can finally come back here and read this thread again!

    WB discontinues Led Zeppelin: The Song Remains The Same on both HD formats

    The sound does cut out during the song Moby Dick. But otherwise the TrueHD sounds fantastic.

    WB discontinues Led Zeppelin: The Song Remains The Same on both HD formats

    Got my copy for Christmas, but haven't played it yet, as I need an empty house when I crank out the Led for my head!

    He was pretty dang good in Full Metal Jacket.

    *** Official THE MIST Discussion Thread

    My thoughts on the ending...in spoilers As a parent, it hit me like a punch in the gut! It was wrenching! And it worked for me. Reminded me of the bleak ending from 70's movies, ie Electra Glide in Blue, Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry, Race With the Devil, and at the time we were in the middle of a...

    Blu-ray Review HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: Close Encounters of the Third Kind (Highly Recommended)

    I can't believe it, but CE3K is one of the few movies that still evokes an emotional response from me after all these years. Seeing Roy look back before going up the ramp just gets to me, and John Williams fantastic score at that point is simply perfect.

    Bill Nye gets restraining order against wife

    Don't feel sorry for him at all...dude, that's what you get for moving from Seattle to SoCA! :D

    The Amazing Race 12

    My wife was laughing like crazy at Grandpa "pole" vaulting, while I was simply grimacing at every leap. My wife is Asian, and her father used to be a lot like that guy. It isn't a unique situation. Pink + "Goth" = Poth!

    Any other Ghost Hunters fans?

    This week's episode is the season finale?! Again? ALREADY?! I know they're bringing out the spin off in January, but how many episodes were in this year's Ghost Hunter's season?

    Any other Ghost Hunters fans?

    Watched about an hour "live" on Halloween, and will get through the rest this weekend. Wrestlers. Sheesh. And the new girl is making this show worth catching every week. C-U-T-E!

    Any other Ghost Hunters fans?

    Gonna DVR the Halloween show tomorrow. Still watching, via DVR, and laughed a bit at the Seattle stuff; obviously no one told them about the various things seen in the Pike Place Market, or else they got the cold shoulder from the place.

    Jeez, I still haven't watched my copy of this one yet! So many discs, so little time. Good review, Mike.

    Blu-ray Review HTF Blu-ray Review: Halloween (1978)

    Myself, as I've stated in another thread, by the time Laurie crossed the street I was too into the movie to notice the color of doors, etc.. For those not getting it because of color schemes...too bad, you're missing out.

    I've never been to Illinois, but I really doubt there's that much green left by the time October 31st arrives! Those trees were downright lush!

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Halloween -- in BD

    Read your post over at AVS, Dave. Going to watch this one again tomorrow morning (with the original track) and watch that kitchen in particular. But like I wrote earlier, to me it seems right down the middle on the two mentioned versions, but the fact it is HD could disguise the Divi-look to an...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Halloween -- in BD

    I wouldn't get rid of my other editions of Halloween either, and am thinking of grabbing that Divi edition of Halloween 4, as I actually don't own anything past Halloween III.

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Halloween -- in BD

    The back of the case does not even list the mono track, simply Dolby Surround and PCM 5.1, so does that mean it was a last minute addition?

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Halloween -- in BD

    This one seems to be right in the middle, color-timing wise. It isn't as startling in changes as the Divi edition, but also isn't like the so-called "Cundey approved" edition. Yes, I own all the DVD editions. But also, the very nature of HD makes all the green in the daylight scenes POP, and for...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Halloween -- in BD

    Watched Halloween last night. Since I've seen this upconverted recently, the upgrade wasn't startling, but the subtle details that are seen (I've watching this movie so many times I can't recall the exact number of viewings) did make me go: "Oh wow, never seen that before." And you truly...

    Back To You

    Better than that hidious Till Death afterward! The daughter thing seemed like something they should have dragged out after mid-season, not the first episode, but I'll stick with it for a few more episodes.
