    $$$$ vs. Quality

    I purchased the lowest level DTS, 5.1 surround sound reciever Sony makes. I didn't shoot for Sony, I just happened to find this open box at Best Buy a year or so ago for $150, I bought the 4 year warrenty plan Best Buy offers as well. So I got the reciever for $10 less than normal, plus a longer...

    http://www.movie-mistakes.com/

    I remember finding that site a while back. Like someone said above, it's a great site, but it tends to ruin a movie for me if I look at the mistakes for it fist, then I'm always watching for them. But 3rd+ viewing it's fun to nitpick!

    dolby digital 3/2

    My reciever has been saying Dolby Digital 3/2 when a disc is first put in, did I accidently do something to the settings? I remember it saying something else.

    my tv emits a high pitch squeek

    I have one of those 27" Apex TVs from Circuit City (the $200 one), it works great, but when I watch TV every 5 seconds or so it squeeks, it doesn't do this when watching a movie though. Could I possibly fix it by getting some kind of line conditioner or something?

    The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)

    Great movie, I didn't want it to end. I loved the scene with gollum in the swampy area. I thought it was well done and gave the film an erie feel to it. The ghosts reminded me of Final Fantasy I do have to say my favorite part of the 11:59 showing was seeing the Terminator 3 trailer.

    should i buy widescreen?

    I use a 27" Apex TV I just bought today for $200, and plan on getting a non progressive scan DVD player to play my DVDs (HT isn't my biggest hobby, most of my money goes to my aquariums). Do I still want to get widescreen version DVDs? All it will do is letterbox them right?
