    Need a SIMPLE audio/video receiver for the parents. Nothing complicated!

    Hi all, I gave my parents my old Denon audio/video receiver many years ago and it lacks HDMI. Everything was component. Now of course times have changed and all of their latest gear is HDMI (BD player, DircTV receiver), which means they are always switching inputs on the TV. Never mind the...

    HD-RPTV repair (CRT's) in NY/NJ area? Who should we call to look at old Mitsubishi set?

    We own one of the gargantuan Mitsubishi HDTV's from 8/9 years ago and it is in need or help. Most likely one or more of the guns would need to be replaced because of burn-in. We made some calls, but so far nobody seems to handle RPTV's anymore. Maybe we are not calling the right people...

    BIRTH: What music used in the famous Opera scene with Nicole Kidmnan?

    Strange film, but it has sensational use of music. BIRTH has one infamous scene where Kidman sits down at an opera and the camera stays on her for well over one minute, slowing moving in, with operatic music playing. It is incredibly haunting. Were I to guess I'd say it's Wagner, Die Walkure...

    LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT is not lost

    Mr. Harris, this is astonishig news, but news that is not complete. Apparently there is a print out there of this long 'lost' film, just waiting to be found. It was found once before, but the guy who came across it was a low level employee who couldn't get anyone to listen to him. Since that...

    What's the deal with BABYLON A.D? Mega budget, yet silence from the studio

    This is nuts. 100+ million from a major studio and a supposed summer 2008 release and yet nothing! No teaser. No trailer. Nothing at all. I read there were problems on set between the director and Diesel, but is there more to this story?

    Advise on where to buy a laptop

    Hi gang. I am very much in need of a new laptop computer, but I am not sure where is the best place to buy one. I'm in love with the look of HP's new line of laptops, but I see varying prices and specs and it is hard for a gal like me to know which way to go. Where are the most reputable...

    Bai Ling is naked again. Any larger shots of these around?

    OK, I like boys, so don't think I am a lesbian. My husband, God bless him, is in love with Bai Ling. Always has been. Has her on the wallpaper for his PC. I don't mind. I'm not a jealous person. And I cook in the nude, so that keeps my man happy. ;) So anyway, I see Bai Ling has gone nude...

    Sort of Off Topic: No longer able to skip forward in mpeg/wmv files.

    Hi guys. I'm running XP Pro on a 2.4ghz Pentium. Plenty of memory to go round. QT files are still fine but suddenly I cannot skip forward on certain WMV and MPEG video files. By that I mean, say you are playing a 5 minute video file and want to click the bar at the bottom to the halfway point...

    Margaret Cho performance - talks about screen test/asked to use Asian accent

    Hi. I search You Tube, but came up with more hits than I could check. I heard many many years ago a Margaret Cho skit on the radio where she talked about going to audtitions and being asked to do Asian accents. It was fantastically funny, but I have not ever been able to find it anywhere.

    SWEPT AWAY (original) Is the Koch version actually anamorphic?

    Hi. It seems difficult to know because I always see "unspecified" listed next to the widescreen/anamorphic spces. Cannot find any reviews. I have the old Fox Lorber release, which is a disgrace. It takes the Criterion laserdisc transfer and ruins it by a laughable MPEG compression effort...

    The Sentinel: No reviews and it opens Friday. Not a good sign.

    Michael Douglas is fast having a lot in common with Harrison Ford. This movie opens in 4 days and yet not a single review over at Rotten Tomatoes. Not good. The story is interesting and the commercials make it look good, but that doesn't mean anything.

    Need music used in WITHOUT LIMITS. Cannot find anywhere.

    OK gents. The scene where Pre has his shot at Gold in Munich has a piece of music used throughout that is truly inspiring. The only problem is, I don't know what it is or where to find it. IU had read it is on the John William SUMMON THE HEROES Olympic CD, but it is not. So now I am stuck...

    Where can I report store breaking street date on big titles?

    OK, they have been doing it for some time now. All the big A titles are put out about a week before the street date. It wouldn't bother me if they had not put all of the local mom & pop stores out of business this way. Now that they are IT, they just raised their rates by $1 to $5. I was in...

    KILL BILL V1: What music was used in this scene? Not on CD soundtrack.

    OK, when The Bride is at the Japanese dance club, she calls out O-Ren Ishii and her crew while holding Sofie as a hostage. There is a very cool piece of music used during this piece that is not not on the soundtrack. Not the cue used for when the Bride sees her enemies. This is the piece that...
