If 4400 could get a second season with just six eps for their first, I don't see why Surface shouldn't get a go. After seeing Lake Bell in Boston Legal, I've grown attached to her in Surface.
I have a pair of Boston Acoustic FS60 splits up front. According to their site, these splits are rated up to 150 WRMS/ch. Now, I have my heart set on the Audison SRx4, which produces 170 WRMS/ch @ 4 ohms. Will this be too beefy for these splits? Should I perhaps go a little lower, like 150...
Okay, somebody told me that PL/PLII works properly when there is good stereo separation, and that I should try it with a newish action film. I did that, and there was a definite improvement, with channel specific audio coming out of the rears. However, when listening up close to the rears in the...
We have a Yamaha RX-V450 receiver and the sources are a Pioneer DVD player and a digital satellite decoder. When I listen to a CD, and select PLII/Music, I hear sound out of all five speakers. So there is no problem with PLII and CDs. However, when it comes to the broadcast signals, sound...
I'm getting chills just by reading this thread! In fact, earlier this evening while I was reading another thread in which TBW was the topic, I found myself checking the corner of my bedroom...twice! I have never been disturbed by a film as much as this. The night after I saw it for the first...
Honestly, I can't be sure. I saw it probably eight or nine years ago. Something I distincly recall is the scene in which Samson is plowing a field, and his domineering mother calls out to him "Samson, dinner's ready!" (or something like that), and Samson responds with a very high pitched...
From what I remember about it, it was probably pre-80's. Don't recall who starred in it, but it was a spoof on the Roman/Greek civilization, and it involved characters like Samson (with a very high pitched voice), Hercules (I think), and swearing chickens.
Donnie Darko 2: Revenge of Frank
28 days later, all existence ended. Then Frank strikes back. (That's okay, the first one didn't make much sense either...)
Lord of the Rings: Revenge of Gandalf
After helping Aragorn to face the armies of Sauron, Gandalf smokes too much pipe weed, goes...
I'm looking for the name of a movie I watched over ten years ago. I remember the following things about it: It was a time-travel action movie, in which a group of teenagers used a device with one or two "electrified glass balls" to travel through time. One of the scenes involved dinosaurs, I...
I need some input regarding the capabilities of my TV.
I have a Sony KV-EX29M37, which is a 29" 4:3 set with that DRC feature. One of the DRC modes is DRC1250, which "doubles" (I use apostrophes as I am not sure how accurate the doubling is) the horizontal lines from 625 to 1250, and the...
I received an email from Blackstar yesterday, confirming that they had shipped my copy. According to Blackstar, they ship to all international locations via airmail. I'm not sure how soon I will receive notification of the set's arrival, since I have never purchased anything from Blackstar...
I don't think that the speed of the film is as much an issue as the picture quality -- not to me, at least. Everything I watch is PAL, and if the decrease in speed of NTSC is easily noticeable, it would merely disturb the impression of speed that I have become accustomed to. Additionally...
Thanks for the info. The only reason that I wanted to buy the R-1 set is because it costs around US$30 through Amazon.com (inc shipping). The 2-disc set is still being sold here in SA for the equivalent of that price. I would only expect the Extended version to be pricier. I've seen the...
I have pre-ordered a copy of the extended version of LOTR:FOTR from Amazon.com. Obviously this is a region-1 disc.
I live in South Africa, which is a region-2 country.
My question is this: If I buy a region-1 NTSC disc from Amazon.com will I notice any difference from a region-2 PAL disc in...
