Geoff_D, I believe that the director altered the AR with "The Recruit", so it wouldn't be precedent setting if it also happened here. Also, IMDB entry for OUATIM doesn't indicate any difference in the AR for the UK (or any other country for that matter).
Here's an interesting article on Matriculated . It's mostly synopsis with a short analysis at the end. In light of that link, the ending would seem to say that the machine is grieving since it prefers the human "anti-matrix" construct, but its of no use since there are no humans left alive...
Where did you see that "regular" channels would be in HD? There was a line in the flash introduction that they'd have 39 HD channels by Feb. 2004, but I didn't notice anything that listed which channels those would be. The only way that "regular" channels could be viewed in HD is if they are...
It can't be true since most of the DirecTV lineup isn't produced in HD. I'd suggest looking here for a listing of what channels are/will soon be available in HD. Edited to add that in my experience, DirecTV customer service reps are very ill informed (or, in the worst case, knowingly...
Someone over at AVSforum mentioned that Sony is working on increasing the durability of the disc coating so that the caddy won't be necessary. Edited to say that I agree with Marc. I would prefer a caddy for the reasons he cited, plus the protection they'd give to rented discs.
Wal-mart just started its competition rental service, and apparently they do stock DTS and Superbit versions. I think today's their first day of operations, so they'll probably be adding back-titles in short order. Edited to add that it looks like they're also stocking Criterion editions...
You're right, I messed up "greater than" symbol. To be clear, it takes more than 14 hours to reach the area I mentioned. I'm pretty sure it was the show's producer that talked about that plot point for season 3. I'll try to find the source when I wake up.
Scooter, I really doubt that Season 3 is going to be the very next day. It came out a while ago that Jack is going to be on a mission in some Mideast country. It takes
F/X did that last year (twenty-four hours of 24), so they'll probably do it again some Saturday. However, why would you want to watch a pan&scam low quality 480i presentation of the series when it'll be available in OAR 480p in a few months? edited to add that if you did a marathon with the...
The issue was with a large sculpture behind "the Devil's" desk. The artist wasn't compensated, sued, and forced the scenes with it to be digitally retouched.
Sounds to me like they weren't hard coated. That's a very thin, transparent resin that is applied to plastics and glass that makes them very scratch resistant. I don't think it should be a problem if you took the glasses back to their place of purchase and have it done. It should take less than...
I was wondering if anyone knows whether or not Netflix rents out Superbit and/or DTS-only DVD's (like Jaws and Jurassic Park) when a DD version is available, and if so, how to acquire them? I figure that they only stock a single version of a particular title, so as to "make things easier" on...
True, a computer will likely have the storage and processing power of a human brain in that time, and androids will probably be common on space missions. However, I really doubt that a computer will be able to operate outside its programming. So, if anything really funky happens out there...
Here is NASA's Hubble space image library. Also, here's the 60 Minutes web page for the story in question. You might also be interested in the Astronomy Picture of the Day.
I enjoyed the movie, too. Except, there seemed, at least to me, to be a big plot hole right at the end. In every mortal sin but one, John Doe himself exacted capital punishment. If Doe really saw himself as a righteous distributor of God's retribution, wouldn't he want to see to Mills execution...
I thought I read over at AICN a while back that there is/was a historical-fiction movie in development about the Indianapolis from Quint's perspective. Obviously, Quint wouldn't be a ghost, but it'd still be pretty dang cool.
Hmm, I'm stumped then. I don't know much about the multi-path phenomenon, but I thought I'd just throw it out there as a possibility. Have you called your cable company and/or local station(s) about the problem?
