I wish I could have THAT 2 hours back. Not one inch of original slapstick. Just a big teenage tits and ass movie that insults young people. I suppose teenagers like it because it has "boobies" but it certainly is not entertaining for anybody with an IQ over 70.

Dave Hahn - nice post. People actually whined here about The Patriot? Even with the explaination on the DVD? sheesh As long as the film is not called "TRUE STORY" people have to lighten up and remember - IT'S ENTERTAINMENT not a documentary.

This post from a below thread says a lot. Read and do your own DD before making the jump. You can't just go to a store without knowing the facts. ----------------------------------------- HDTV primer based on 2 years of viewing in the BalWash area. If you need convincing about what HDTV...

DVD's are widescreen something like 1.78-1 Dolby but not 5.1 - still better then off the tube though

Rick - I still like U-571, no matter what the Brits say LOL. My father-in-law (Mel Jacob) is a living survivor of the USS Indy, he was a marine on the ship. At the moment there are two studios bidding for the rights to his and other survivor stories. One company (the BIG one) wants a...

What is the proper order?? The StarGate website lists them in that order? Jeff - I'm 3 years behind! I have the best of all worlds - I've only seen like 5 or 6 total episodes at random. Not having Showtime and I missed it, then just didn't pay any attention to it in syndication. My...

Gotta agree with rick - but then all my life I thought Betsy Ross made the American flag and I find out she made flags but not that one. Some noname guy made it. Our history is full of wrong information. :-(

Excellent post Tom - a problem I think is happening is that consumers are being sold small HDTV's (27inch) and I don't think you can really tell THAT much difference between digital and HD at that size. Larger then 36 and there is a big difference but most "average" people (when compared to...

I read the book twice before I saw the movie. The problem is that the movie would have to be 8 hours long to cover the details the book went into. Stephen Ambrose is a fantastic author (his dad was my mom's dentist lol) and his books are always a good read. Band of Brothers (the TV show)...

The problem with syndication is you don't get to see the shows in proper order. That's why I bought the box set. I don't have Showtime and syndication was either random or they would play them in order every night and I would have to record them. I consider SG-1 is on of the best Sci-Fi...

Mike - Correct me if I'm wrong but Cable does not have the band width to carry HD. The tech at Charter told me they have no plans to go HD. I think we're in for a war between cheap digital that looks outstanding and expensive HD which looks "slighty" better on small sets and much better on...

I have 6 dwarf rainbows that seem to add bass when the are facing the side of my 50g tank. During movies I have to keep entertaining them so the sound does not fall off. Water get's a little murky at times! ------------------------- OK OK! Not a problem, I'm sure then did not appreciate...

Just my personal views. LOL - excellent questions with so many answers it's silly. I'll tell you MY personal thoughts. IF you want a great picture look for progressive scan sets. To me that was more important then being HD compatable (I actually got interlace but thats another story)...

I'll look into it. Personally I'm addited to The Preacher. I loved Nexus when it was going. There are only a few comic books worth reading by a 48 year old! :-) 100 Bullets is a good one

I got a 25 pound bag at Copps!

I can see you all looking for your DVD's now LOL. Jacksons very well put togather wife has the "extended" scene which is not a casual glancing shot. She get's taken over and becomes Apophis' queen after being looked over thoughly.

Does cold wather come to a boil faster the hot water?? Is this an urban myth that my daughter came up with? I debunked the Wizard of Oz Munchin hanging scene but can't find the truth in this one.

I'm not the kind of guy that LOOKs for these things but it certainly was a perk when I was watching the pilot of StarGate SG-1. It certainly did catch my attention (being a typical male). Perhaps I got StarGate XX-1 instead LOL I bet sales will skyrocket now! :-)

I have a 43in rptv with a center speaker and digital cable box on top. Not sure about YOUR weight though. I have cable and it looks great. Of course the HD people would say it looks horrible but I'm VERY happy and the picture is MUCH better then a dish split to 40 other sets. I noticed(...

Understand completely. Whenever our basement get's finished I'll be going with a 16x9. Not sure how it's going to get down there though!! I read somewhere also about the 3 or 4 times the SCREEN height.

jeff - I know your problem - We were 13 feet away with our 27in WEGA and when watching widescreen we were at the very tip of watchability. We looked into 32 inch , then 36inch and my wife said "WHY STOP THERE" (ya gotta love her!!). We settled on a 43 inch rptv for just a little more then...

I wish they would do The Lucy Show before I Love Lucy!

I saw the 1st 1/2 on TNT and the sound was rottin so I got the DVD and just watched it. MAN - there is a lot of damage in that movie. The alternate ending totally sucks and is depressing. VERY glad they skipped it.

Jack - Eye's Wide Shut DID get a pleasant reaction out of my wife (She contiunes to amazed me even after 8 years). I'm not sure it fits this area though. Ken - Singing in the Rain. She mentioned she wanted it but I didn't take her seriously. Sort of like when I met her and laughed when...

I've heard and read that there are hidden costs with Plazma's and a few bugs (brightness is one of them). IF I was going to buy one I would wait a few years. New technology tends to get MUCH better after a few years. The Renalt Alliance(??) was the car of the year by Car and Driver but...

Jack - just curious - why the attention to the pause. I'm not sure I've seen anybody else really worry about it before. I kind of get a small techno-smile out of it. It's rather ingenious I'd say.

Thanks for the suggestions. Shawshank Redemption? Well - it's a really nice ending and a pretty good movie but I'm not sure the rape scenes or the getting your face bashed in scenes are really "happy happy joy joy scenes". LoL There were some pretty good suggestions although I have to...

Progressive scanning, otherwise known as 480P (p=progressive), creates a picture signal with double the scan lines of a conventional interlaced picture, 480I (I=interlaced), to create a noticeably sharper image. The 480P image offers higher picture resolution and eliminates virtually all motion...

For instance - she loves Six Days Seven Nights. It ends happy, has beautiful scenery and is "slightly" funny. She calls it a Comfort movie (for when she has the flu). Any others? LA Story is another one.

Well - seeing that everybody is tryign to talk at once . . . . . . I would guess it does not make a difference.
