    CNN Drops Anchor Connie Chung

    Fox News is the only channel now that leans toward the conservative side, of course they will have the highest ratings. Look at our buddy Rush Limbaugh, do you think he would get the same ratings if he were a liberal. Conservative shows get ratings, liberal shows dont...plain simple.

    The End of an Era-- Jackie Chan uses Stunt Doubles

    In his interview he specifically stated that for many of his stunts the producers MADE him use stunt doubles. When he does films here in the U.S. he usually has no say in the matter. With big bucks comes big sacrifice :)

    8.1 and 9.1 surround is here!

    Recommendations for Crouching Tiger type movies??

    I guess what really caught my eye were the choreographed fight scenes (everyone jumping and flying around everywhere). I saw Iron Monkey and loved it. Another movie which is similar is The Duel. So I guess Im looking for more movies like that, although they dont neccessarily have to be...

    JBL NPS1II, Take 5.2 or Polk

    Add the Axiom Epic Micro and Epic Mini to your list. They are being phased out so shops are heavily discounting them.

    WHOA! Just watched Ring of Fire (DTS) on my dual SVS 16-46+ setup!

    Yeah its too bad the movie was awful. I went in thinking the movie would be different, kinda like the U.S. Army vs. the Dragons. Oh well, I'll rent it to demo my set-up anyway :)
