    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...

    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

    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.

    OK, I'm looking to upgrade my TV sometime in the near future. I'm looking for a 42 inch widescreen at the very least and I'm willing to spend no more than $2,000. Around $1,500 would be preferred if I can get something good around that price. What do you all recommend?

    Simple Question

    I've searched and searched but can't seem to bring up the "top ten - time to throw down" threads of the past 4 years. All that comes up is 2000. As soon as they are linked, this thread can be deleted. Sorry, but I've searched many times and get nothing.

    I have two gamepads that just won't work. Both are connected via USB. One is a Logitech Dual Action Gamepad and the other is a Nyko airflow. The computer simply won't even recognize that they are plugged in. Furthermore, if I try to add them manually, I get this error "Gameport or gameport...

    LFE Attenuator?

    On my JVC RX-6010VBK Reciever there is an option on it called LFE Attenuator. It says in the manual to set it to 0db normally and to 10db if the bass sound is "distorted". What exactly does this mean? I'm not quite fully understanding this feature.

    Problems With My JVC

    I have a JVC XV-N50BK and I've been experiencing very bad problems with the jittering effect. Now, I read about it before buying the player, but didn't realize just how severe it was.

    OK, my uncle sent my parents the complete season 3 and told it was "great and very addicting" but I've never seen a single episode in my life. Is it OK to watch the third season first? Is there anything I need to know? Thanks.

    Bad news regarding Dead Reckoning

    Aparently the deal with Fox and George Romero has fallen through for him to make the latest 'Dead' film. www.deadreckoning.com no longer leads to Fox, and I've read that Fox tried to make George change some things about the script, George denied, and I'm pretty sure it's over. However, Guillermo...

    My current Compaq 4 gig comp isn't gonna cut it anymore. My friend built a computer that he doesn't use at all and wants to sell it to me for 275 bucks.

    Anyone Ditching School In Honor of Halloween?

    I sure as hell am. Although I'm a frequent ditcher anyway (8 absences so far), atleast this time I have a good reason. Why should kids be expected to go to school on a day like Halloween?

    An Annoying Frequent Occurance At The Polls Forum

    You ever notice in tournaments how many times you'll see someone with a reply that just says "abstain" and nothing else? Does it add to the poll or tourney? The only thing I see it doing is raising the member's post count. Am I the only one who finds this annoying? Maybe I'm just an idiot...

    Friday the 13th

    It's Friday the 13th, and NO marathons are being held on TV at all? When I was a kid, marathons would be held on TNT and USA all night. I guess that means we gotta create our own personal marathons, but it's just not the same. So bust out those DVD's and worn down VHS's, it's time for a night of...
