    Writing A Paper On Stratification

    My teacher gave us a choice of 3 films to write on: Precious Gran Torino Fly With Me I don't want to write about any of these films. She said she would be open to suggestions. Movies that deal with issues of cultures clashing etc. Doesn't HAVE to be about race. Any good suggestions? All films...

    The Fly (1986) Appreciation

    I don't see nearly enough respect and admiration for the Fly remake around here (or anywhere online for that matter). I find it to be one of the most well crafted pieces in the history of cinema. It lacks absolutely nothing. Amazing direction, one of the greatest scores ever composed, a tight...

    Time to Throw Down! 2009 Top Ten Lists

    I'm not posting a list yet but I'm just saying that in the old days everyone's posts were filled with movie posters etc. and it was really pleasing to the eye. What happened to THOSE days? Sheesh. By the way, this is my first post back in years. I used to be a regular back in the early part of...

    Official 2007 Awards Discussion Thread (not Oscars)

    I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that Viggo deserves best actor this year. I haven't seen There Will Be Blood, but man I hope he doesn't get snubbed.

    This 3D fad is grating on my last nerve.

    **Official HTF HD Formats Ind./Retailer/Studio Support Thread-*SEE POST 3176, p. 106*

    It's gotta be a tough few days for Blu-ray. Software sales are creeping up on Blu-ray even BEFORE the sale and now the hardware prices have plummeted in the span of only a few days. Warner going exclusive (something I think will happen) will be the killing blow. I was hoping dual players would...

    *** Official HALLOWEEN (2007) Discussion Thread

    Rob Zombie has never made any "death metal". His music is about as pop as it gets. I also thought Jamie Lee did an admirable job in the first of seeming responsible and tough. At the very least she was a character the children could confide in and trust to keep them safe. I don't know why this...

    *** Official RESCUE DAWN Discussion Thread

    The only part I disliked was the very end. Everything up to the rescue was fantastic, but the ending felt tacked on and kinda cheap. Still a 3.5/4 for me.

    ValueElectronics HTF exclusive sale

    Robert, I know this sale was supposed to be HTF exclusive, but I've seen this sale at 4 different forums already. Prepare to be bombarded.

    ValueElectronics HTF exclusive sale

    I just think that if you could get the players down to 150, they'd fly.

    just got back from ASIA ...

    Not when your opinion brings nothing to the thread of people discussing the band. If the thread had been titled "What is your opinion of ASIA?" then maybe your post would be relevant.

    Spurs got lucky. The NBA beat the Suns, not the Spurs.

    Just Saw Gandhi For the First Time...

    Is there anyone that actually likes this film? I found it to be one of the most boring pieces of cinema I've ever seen. This won best picture? Paper thin characters with zero depth. Plot that kept repeating itself. I thought I had watched the same movie 5 times in the span of watching it once...

    Simple Question

    Thanks a lot. One more question though, what cables do I use for the Multi Ch Inputs? Can I just use any RCA cables or do I need a different kind. I have spare component cables I can use.

    Simple Question

    Yeah I've been suing my optical and composites for years to get just standard DD 5.1 and DTS. My question was relating to the newer generation technologies. By using the "Multi Ch In" outputs will I be able to enjoy Dolby TrueHD?

    Simple Question

    This is the back of my reciever. It has HDMI pass through and such. I'm assuming I don't have what I need.

    Simple Question

    OK sorry for being totally out of the loop here. Just bought my first HD-DVD player (still no Blu-Ray yet) and I ended up getting the XA2. Currently I have a Sony home theater in a box that actually sounds auite good. It obviously decodes both DD 5.1 and DTS. I've heard about a lot of different...

    Lost In Translation HD-DVD 5/29

    Any early reviews of this title? I can't find a list of special features anywhere online. If they release this bare bones I'll be extremely disappointed as it is one of my favorite films.

    5/15/07 The Fountain HD DVD Combo & Blu-Ray

    I just wanted to add that one of the main reasons I'm buying into HD-DVD early was to see this film in all it's glory. I loved it so much when I saw it in theaters.

    Toshiba offering $100 instant rebates on HD DVD players

    Robert, in the press release it states from June 10-16 the 100$ rebate can be applied to ANY Toshiba player. My question is, will you have a deal for the HD-XA2?

    Appeal of "Dawn of the Dead"?

    Sorry but must repsectfully disagree. Land is just not a very good movie. Day was and always has been a great movie. It only wasn't recieved well due to the expectations and the drastic differences from Dawn. Land just isn't very good compared to anything, and will never be a cult favorite.

    Grindhouse - New Tarantino/Rodriguez film announced..

    To add to my statement: He wasted time on characters that either left the screen and we never saw it again, or characters that went through NO change, and we really cared little about. Honestly, the dialogue was complete dreck. Hip for the sake of being hip, but it wasn't hip, it sucked. Chase...

    Grindhouse - New Tarantino/Rodriguez film announced..

    Saw it last night. Loved Planet Terror. Did anyone else catch the homages to Return of the Living Dead, ZOMBIE, and Dawn of the Dead? Incredibly entertaining movie. Also loved all the fake trailers. Death Proof was just garbage. Dialogue scene after dialogue scene, and nothing remotely...

    Hooking Up Creative Zen Vision: M To Car Stereo?

    I know that I can easily hook up an ipod to the deck in my truck, but before I buy a Zen Vision: M I wanted to know if I could do the same with one of these. Repost. Sorry.

    Darren Aronofsky's sci-fi epic "The Fountain" set to go

    Saw it last night. LOVED it. I really can't understand a lot of the hate it's getting. I loved it from start to finish. Amazing film.

    Your ONE Most Favorite Film of All Time?

    Gotta go with Dawn of the Dead (1978). It just made a huge impact on me when I was a kid and I still love it to this day.
