    2007-2008 NFL season discussion thread

    Chargers vs. Colts- Who thought up that genius defensive game plan for the Colts? Dungy or their coordinator? I couldn't believe that they didn't blitz Rivers while he was playing. Rivers is brutal under pressure, and throws the ball up for grabs. It seemes to me that the Colts didn't try...

    2007-2008 NFL season discussion thread

    Seahawks vs. Packers- The Hawks have never been a very good road team, and they have only 1 playoff road win in their history, so yesterday wasn't really a surprise. The Hawks were putrid defensively, and it was maddening to watch the last few minutes of the game. The Hawks were playing...

    British Open 2007 --what a finish!

    Sergio vs. Padraig- I think that, except for the questionable decision by Padraig to use the driver on the 18th hole that got him into trouble, Padraig deserved to win because he played better than Sergio. I would rather see someone shoot a good score to win than to see someone back into a...

    Taxi Season 4

    The only thing that would make sense is if there are music rights issues with the final 2 seasons of Taxi. Why would Paramount quickly release the first 3 seasons of any TV series if they were unsure about sales figures of the series? They should have flown a test balloon by releasing just...

    Annoying sound effects...

    Hey all- I'm a fan of Sirius like all of you here, but of course the stations aren't perfect. I agree that there are too many repeated songs, especially on the vault (in theory if the channel delivers what it advertises, you shouldnt hear any repeats for at least a week if not longer)...

    NFL Network stealing your games? Not for SIRIUS listeners

    Yeah, Chris, Sirius is great for the choice of NFL games, and also we have our choice of which city's radio team to tune into. The NFL channel on Sirius (channel 124) does a great job of keeping the fan informed of what's going on throughout the league. I thought the NFL ticket was...

    NFL on Sirius -- Jerry Rice must go !

    Jim Miller is sort of a regular with Schein- I believe he is there on The Afternoon Blitz on Tuesdays and Fridays, also he does the Rewind show on Sunday nights. I like Miller- he comes across as friendly, and he gives very candid opinions without sounding like a know-it-all. Another guy...

    Question about an episode of The Simpsons

    Thanks for the help guys. Good news is that I already have season 4.

    Question about an episode of The Simpsons

    Hi all- I remember watching an episode where Krusty is trying to quit smoking, and by the end of the show he has nicotine patches all over his body. Can anybody tell me which season this episode is in? I would definitely like to add this show to my collection. Thanks for any responses.

    NFL on Sirius -- Jerry Rice must go !

    Yeah, Brent, I'm not a Jerry Rice fan either, at least with his work on the NFL channel. He just can't get a thought out of his mouth without tripping over his own tongue. I'm such a non-fan of his that I change the channel whenever he is one of the hosts- I just don't have the patience to...

    Total Recall THX reviews?

    Thanks for the heads up on this release, Travis! This will not be a part of my constant tinkering with my library to get the best possible releases of my favorite films.

    2006 NFL Offseason Discussion Thread

    A Monday Night doubleheader??? This isn't going to be every Monday night for the whole season, is it? The East coast fans have gotten the shaft for years with the starting time at 9:00. I can't imagine the ratings being any good for a 10:15 PM start, no matter the teams.

    A Few Words About A few words about... The Mel Brooks Collection

    Larry- It looks like all the extras are carried over from the old letterboxed DVD- I read the specs at Amazon yesterday. Unfortunately the commentary from the Robin Hood: Men In Tights laserdisc isn't on the new DVD though.

    Dazed And Confused: Criterion?

    Yeah, Travis, I agree. Even though I don't really get excited about cover art, this one is a nice looking set. Has there been any announcements about what will be included in this version? Will there be both the theatrical and a "director's" cut of the film? This is one of my favorite...

    Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid SE on June 6th See Post #8

    The interview clips were done in 1994 (I think for the laserdisc 25th anniversary SE), but the 45 minute documentary was shot during the shooting of the film.

    2006 NFL Offseason Discussion Thread

    My 1-1/2 cents on T.O.- Anyone care to get a pool going on how long it will take him to verbally slam Bledsoe after one of Drew's bad or uninspired games? Not long. The Cowboys (or whoever takes him) deserve what they get. The Lions- I think Kitna signed for more money, so is the job...

    RAISING ARIZONA - anyone know if a 20th anniversary edition is planned?

    Yeah, I would buy a good 16x9 release in a second. It's one of my all-time favorites also. This is the Coen Brothers best film.

    More re-makes in the works

    My 2 cents on this whole remake issue- I'm one who won't bother with them. IMO it's appalling that a remake of The Poseidon Adventure is happening. I won't even watch them when they come out on DVD. The Longest Yard is one of my favorite sports movies, and I thought the idea of a remake...

    Funny scenes in films without dialogue

    Hi guys- I don't know if this topic has been brought up, but I was watching Fandango and there was a scene with no words that had me laughing out loud. It was the sky diving segment. The camera angle from the ground up to the plane flying past with the nuts and bolts hitting the ground...

    DVD Review HTF MINI-REVIEW: Dog Day Afternoon Two-Disc Special Edition (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)

    My set of the 3 films arrived today:D so I'll watch DDA this afternoon- it's been a while since I've seen it, and I've always loved the film. Pacino could have (and probably should have) won the Oscar for his performance. Network is also one of my favorites. I haven't seen ATPM yet.

    Commercials that just irritate you....

    Hey George- I'm thinking that "Helen Wheels" was taken off the air because of a possible lawsuit (Paul McCartney has a song with that title).

    Smokey - Another Universal Dip

    I hear what you're saying, Bradley. Alot of us collectors are going through the "should I buy the latest double dip or should I just hold onto what I have" dilemma. I also agree with you about Parenthood. Please, Universal, release a watchable version of this film with some extras. I won't...

    Commercials that just irritate you....

    I agree with the poster who mentioned the Snickers ad witrh the guy wearing the wrappers on his head. WTF??? That is the dumbest ad I've seen in quite some time. A noise that bothers the living shit out of me is when an ad has somebody eating something. It makes me want to put my fist...

    Telemarketers calling Cellphones

    Hey Paul- How long have you had your current number previously assigned to the April deadbeat? I think the calls I still get are from collection agencies looking for a deadbeat that had my number 4 years ago. Unfortunately the only way to get away from some people is to keep changing...

    Color Of Money question

    I was fooled yesterday. I was browsing at a local Tower Records, and they had a copy there, so I picked it up after reading the back cover that it was enhanced for 16x9 (I won't knowingly buy a letterboxed DVD). I should have browsed here at HTF first before browsing Tower Records.;) I've...

    Telemarketers calling Cellphones

    I couldn't agree more, John. I LOATHE telemarketers. If I didn't need the phone for work purposes or the internet, I wouldn't have one. When one of those maggots call, my blood pressure rises a few points. I just don't want to be bothered. A little off topic, but I consider the phone to...

    my cartridge refilling adventure

    Yeah, Micah, I feel the same way you do- printer cartridges seem to be a ripoff. When my cheapie printer needs to be fed, I angrily pay the $60 to get new cartridges. At least you tried to save money through the DIY route.

    Two Things That I Think Are Priced Unreasonably

    When I saw the title of this thread, my first thought was printer cartridges. Every time I have to get new cartridges for my cheapie printer (fortunately it isn't often), I feel my blood pressure rise a few points. It's bullshit to pay $60 for ink to feed a $100 printer. I also agree with...

    Nine to Five 25th Anniversary Edition DVD that's coming an improvement?

    Yeah, these cutesy names for these double dips are silly, but it's easy for me to ignore this nonsense because I don't pay any attention to the cover art on DVD packages. It's nice to see decent extras with this new edition. It will be fun to listen to the commentary.:)
