    Are 2.1 computer speakers almost extinct?

    Thanks for all the suggestions. I should have done some internet searching before posting this topic since it's obvious there are still numerous 2.1 systems still around. Thanks again!

    Are 2.1 computer speakers almost extinct?

    I really don't have enough desktop space for more than two speakers and evidently I must be alone. I'm shopping for a 2.1 system for my computer and all I can find at department stores are Bose Companion 3's for 250.00 and a Klipsh model for 150.00. There is another brand of Bose computer...

    Gerry - Anyone seen it?

    It's obvious that Damon strangled him. How could anyone have missed that?

    New Criterions Coming: 3 Women, Floating Weeds

    Wow. I was beginning to believe 3 Women would never surface. What fabulous news! I think I might actually be in a state of genuine shock.

    ***Official CABIN FEVER Discussion Thread

    This movie was a piece of garbage. It is a prime example of cheesy, direct to video fare that somehow received a theatrical release. What a waste.

    The Infinity Modulus

    Has anyone listened to this system? I'm wondering how it compares to other 1000.00 home theater in a package systems. Is it worth the price?

    And you thought (hoped) colorization was dead....

    I couldn't care less if they want to colorize black and white movies. If there is a market for them they might as well tap it. As others have said, it isn't any worse than pan and scan or remixed 5.1 audio.

    ALIEN QUADRILOGY discussion thread (including all the glitches)

    It's a lame plot hole. I like Alien three but there obviously is no good explanation for the egg being on the ship. It's just an example of sloppy writing. In my opinion, the face hugger sound at the very end of Aliens is probably just a sound gag by the filmakers done for a laugh.

    Science behind the bose wave radio

    Thanks Brett. Do you have any idea why Boses uses different types of drivers on each side of the unit? The idea behind the "wave guide" system sounds interesting but also looks like a very cheap and easy to manufacture audio "technology". If I understand correctly all Bose does is place some...

    Science behind the bose wave radio

    I would love for someone to explain the "science" behind the Bose Wave Radio. Bose claims the sound from the speakers travels through a tunnel inside the radio making the sound "fuller". I'm no audiophile but considering the speakers are facing in the opposite direction of the tunnel how on...

    LOLITA (1998) DVD region 1 question

    I love this film as well. Definitely one of Lyne's better pictures. It deserves a better transfer than the current DVD.

    Naked Lunch, anyone?

    I've noticed a bit of flickering in the background which is not present on the Japanese DVD. It runs throughout the film from beginning to end and is more noticable in the dark scenes. Does anyone else see this? I'm just curious as to whether my disc is defective or if this flickering is maybe...

    Free advertising for Bose? Tribune article...

    I am apalled at the lack of quality in Bose products I've seen. My mother recently purchased the CD Wave radio for 500.00. The CD player is one of those cheapo models that does not remember where the CD left off when you press the stop button. The sound quality is also noticably inferior when a...

    what is the difference between a "movie" and a "film"?

    I think it has two meanings. In a literal sense "film" is a one type of material used to capture motion picture images. For example 28 Days Later could not be considered a film if you use this defintion. The word film is also used to differentiate between a popcorn "movie" (ex: Charlie's...

    Hulk, The (Widescreen) 2003 - Screenshots

    The Hulk looks very fake in those shots. Was that the intent of the filmakers?

    ALIEN QUADRILOGY discussion thread (including all the glitches)

    I hope this new Alien Director's cut flops. I'm tired of "reimagined" versions of classic films being released to theaters. It's a bad trend that deserves to die.

    Sex and the city to be "funnier" in syndication.

    I found this at www.imdb.com. 'Sex': Tamer But Funnier Although "tamer" than the original, the syndicated version of HBO's Sex and the City, will contain footage shot specifically for a commercial audience that is "funnier" than the original material, according to the online Media...

    Aliens that explode from butts+stand by me = Dreamcatcher= good movie

    OP, why would you put a spoiler in the title of your thread? You gave away the biggest plot turn in the film.

    Criterion's Knife in Water - no fast forward?

    Not letting someone fast forward through a DVD is both self indulgent and pretentious. I'm beginning to wonder how sane some of these directors are.

    About that new "E" news live anchor...

    I can't stand Juliana. She is a terrible news anchor. My guess is that she must have slept with someone to get that position. Why else would someone choose her?

    Robert Altman's Images ..... could it be?

    An interesting footnote on the transfer. At the end of the closing credits for Images a logo pops up saying "Darbee Vision transformed DVD". I remember Altman's last film Gosford Park also used this technology for the DVD. I'm sure it is being used per the directors request. Here's the...

    Robert Altman's Images ..... could it be?

    I just got my copy and have no complaints! MGM did a perfect job on this DVD! It's great to see an Altman film once believed to be lost is now available in such excellent condition!

    Raves Continue! The absolute best animated comedy series: THE FAMILY GUY - A must buy!

    I can't believe how terrible this series is. I just watched the first two episodes and have not laughed once. The Family Guy tries desperately to be edgy and funny yet fails miserably at both. This cartoon couldn't be any more contrived. What an overhyped piece of garbage. I rate Family Guy as a...

    New Cover Art - Gerry

    I'm neutral on coverart these days but if I didn't know anything about the movie I'd think it was about siamese twins in a race. Maybe Disney is thinking ahead to Matt Damons next film and trying to tie this one in somehow.:)

    Robert Altman's Images ..... could it be?

    Deep Discount DVD shipped mine last Wednesday but I haven't received it yet. Hopefully I'll get it in a day or two. It's weird that no DVD site has reviewed it.

    Sex and the City five WILL be $50!

    Yesterday I saw an official HBO 2 page ad in one of those video store business magazines. (I think the magazine is call VA Magazine)The two page ad said there would be eight half hour episodes on two DVD's and the retail price would be 49.99 and the MAP (minimum advertised price) would be 39.99...
