The Garden State trailer with the Frou Frou song had me dying to see that movie.

Argh! I picked up this set after work yesterday. I watched Disc 1 last night. Got up this morning to put in Disc 2 to watch and guess what? I got two Disc 1's, no Disc 2. Guess its back to the store for a return.

I have to disagree with your reasoning. I am VERY interested in seeing the best possible PQ that I am able to reasonably afford. I bought the best display I could reasonably afford two years ago and it does not have DVI in. I am am VERY interested in HD-DVD but I am NOT willing (or probably...

My greatest fear for HD-DVD is that they will downconvert to 480i or 480p over component. My current display does not have DVI inputs, so that would effectively eliminate me from the HD-DVD market until I bought a new display ($$$):frowning:

I thought this was an average flick at best. Brad Pitt was awful. Just horrible. He was badly miscast as Achilles. Was there a reason he and his cousin were the only blond greeks in the entire movie? What was the deal with seeing Brad Pitt naked every other scene and trying to get as...

Agreed, I know several people that tried to read LOTR but only made it 50 or 100 pages. They just found it too tedious. I can understand that. LOTR is not for everyone. I also know some people who read the book many years ago and forgot almost everything everything. Seeing the films was a new...

I've used TheaterTek and WinDVD. This is getting pretty off-topic, so if you want to continue this discussion, drop me a PM.

I use either a Panasonic XP30 or a HTPC. I am using a MyHD card to get OTA HD reception. HD shows considerably more detail that even the best DVDs on my screen.

I completely disagree Johnny. My current display is 47" and I see a DRASTIC differnce between HD and DVD. I've seen very significant differences on smaller screens as well.

Glad to see the success TV on DVD is having. It's great to see so many shows in a high-quality presentation that I get get with my nasty cable signal. I recently picked up The Sopranos S1 and am getting into it. I had never seen the show before as I don't pay for HBO. I completely agree with...

Did the captain of the oathbreakers (zombies) remind anyone of the reassembled bad Ash from Army of Darkness?

I think that making the tunnel much darker, as the other Adam suggested would've helped a lot. Things that you can't see are scarier than things you can.

My interpretation is that the experience of being a ringbearer has left Frodo somehow "hollow". He is different from the other peoples of Middle Earth now. He leaves with the elves to escape this fate.

OK, maybe I should have used the word cold, but it did not live up to my expectations. It was a moment very reminiscient of Braveheart, and I thought Braveheart pulled it off better.

I just got back from my first viewing. I hate to say it, but I was pretty dissapointed. I wanted to love it just like FOTR and TTT but I didnt. The Battle of the Pelennor left me completely underwhelemed. It didn't even approach the experience of Helm's Deep for me. Helm's Deep was hell...

All I can say is... SUCKERS!! I loved seeing Jon and Burton make idiots of themselves talking about how the women were too stupid to figure things out.

Two MAR DVDs in my collection. A Christmas Story, which I will soon by replacing with the new SE. I inherited this from my new wife when we got married a few months ago. Spies Like Us. I picked this up in a bargain bin and bought it without looking at the AR.

The Godfather The Godfather Pt. II Not sure why I don't like these films. They just put me to sleep. I can never get interested in the characters very much. Rear Window North by Northwest A couple of Hitchcock classics that I found to be OK, but not great. Like the Godfather movies, I...

I'm surprised to hear so many people express acceptance of the current set. To my eyes it looks awful. I realize that the look of the films is not supposed to be crisp, but the video quality just looks terrible to me. After paying $90 for three movies I feel ripped off by sub-par transfers. I...

My wife and I saw this on Friday and both really enjoyed it. It will probably become an annual holiday movie for us. The only part that didn't make much sense to either of us was the deal with the evil park rangers. The whole thing just felt very contrived.

Clint, go ahead and complete the transaction now and they will ship it to you when they get it in stock. You will only be charged once.

I recently EQ'd my 20-39PCi with a BFD and am amazed at the results. My response has improved a great deal. You can check out a thread I started here

Subs can be picky about placement, especially in a small room like a dorm. Realistically, the only way you will probably get a nice smooth response is by EQing the sub. You can improve things quite a bit by playing with placement and phase though. Put your subwoofer at your listening...

Ron - A house curve is when the response of your sub gets louder as the frequency gets lower. If you take a look at my EQ'd response in post #13, you notice it slopes upward as the frequency gets lower. A lot of people prefer this over a flat response because you get a little more oomph on the...

I think DVD has helped to expose people to more films than they would have been otherwise. I live in a small market where I am not able to see many independent or art house films. I am able to rent these on DVD. I would never have been exposed to Requiem for a Dream or seen a classic film like...

Brian, I agree that proper room treatment is great, but it is not practical for a lot of people. I do not have the money to properly treat my HT room. I am also currently renting a townhouse, so I wouldnt be able to do too much to the walls without a big hassle when I move out. A third strike...

Chuck - I ran test tones off of my computer with this program: http://www.esser.u-net.com/ttg.htm I also verified it with the test tones found on this excellent web page detailing BFD setup for equalizing subwoofers: http://www.snapbug.ws/bfd.htm I just downloaded the tones and burned to...
