My father used to tell me about character actors in all the old films he used to watch. He always told me to watch how the stars use the same ones all the time. Good character actors make the stars shine.

Polk rocks. Take a good look and listen to them before you make your decision.

I too marvelled at his brilliance in character roles. He always had an air of aristocracy to him but came across more down to earth and had a marvelous way with words. I have heard it said that Richard Burton was this way and sadly we have lost another one. Imagine being in a bar with...

All mine are calibrated at 75db using S&V HTT protocol with volume reference level at 59. Sub is set at 80db.

My system update. In an earlier post I mentioned I used a Polk RT25i as a center channel speaker. I just got two more of these so now my system is complete for now. Sony STR-DE595 receiver Polk RT25i-center,fronts Polk M1-rear surrounds KLH 120watt subwoofer I slowly pieced it together...

Mr. Holland's Opus, starring Richard Dreyfuss was a big oversight by the Academy. Leaving Las Vegas was horrible and it won. I can also add The Sixth Sense being snubbed in favor of the repulsive American Beauty.

Lonesome Dove is the best western ever shown on TV. Duvall is splendid as is the rest of the cast. Duvall also makes Open Range better as Costner always needs a stronger co-star to help him out. No need to compare the Duke and Duvall. John Wayne had a presence that was incomparable in all...

I love Polk speakers. Its true though, it is an individual thing about what sounds good to you. I have learned a lot reading posts and have tried to use that information as well as my ears to make a decision as to what I like. I used to have Bose and thought that they were a godsend to sound. I...

I dont think you need a specific center channel speaker. You could use an alike speaker and the sound will be fine. I use a Polk bookshelf speaker between two other Polk bookshelf speakers and Im pleased. I just happened to come across only one of a model I like very much so I use it. I had a...

My setup is in a small room 11'x10' and budget is tight at the moment but I have tweaked this system to sound pretty good if not overpowering. Receiver: Sony STR DE595 (not bad, easy to use entry HT model). What sounds better with Polk? Fronts: Polk RT15i Center: Polk RT25i(picked this up at...

I have a small room 10'x11'. I bought used Polk RT15i and M1 as surrounds and couldnt be happier. I highly recommend any of the RTi line. I heard them and had to have them so I went the used route and am ok. Follow some of the auctions and communicate with the sellers'. Most really want to keep...

I am a season ticket holder and very proud of the Patriots. I have watched them become more of a team around Brady and be coached by a true disciple of defense. Systems make quarterbacks more than in the past. Brady also has that intangible thing that many great QBs like Montana had, a coolness...

I owned Bose and they were fine but there is better for less money.They get bashed quite harshly by many people but they are not bad speakers just check out others before buying. The public relations(marketing)and image that Bose has does influence people into thinking they are the Rolls Royce...

Sherry is back and that is a good sign. It has been slow to get going this year. It does not have that cliff-hanger suspense that causes you to feel the tension. The last episode brought some of it back and I think it will end strong. I highly recommend turning up the volume on your surround...

Vengeance Unlimited. It still bothers me that this show was cancelled. Everyone I got to watch this show loved it. Having Madsen on TV every week was a treat. I even tried to save this show with a letter. Keen Eddie. This one had potential. Quirky characters. The lead was solid too. The...

Captain Kangaroo, Mr. Greenjeans, Mr.Moose, Dancing Bear all were a wonderful part of my childhood. This show along with Wonderama provided my brothers and me great entertainment, learning and fun.

Ha-Ha. Great stuff.

I found the judges to be a little more open with their collective disdain for "bad" singers. Openly laughing and saying almost anything they want to them. I hope they dont go too far. Too many of the reality shows go for the jugular and show people always being mean or nasty to each other. I...

I feel that Pete Rose belongs in the Hall of Fame. His accomplishments on the field are enough and people should stop judging him on his character. He was a role model to me as a player and many others. His value as a example of playing the game with "guts and hustle" is being lost to a new...

As I stated in a thread I started in the lists section. Big Fish might make you cry but definitely feel something. It was simply marvelous and Finney is great.

Ill be there Sat. night to cheer them on. I was there when they beat the Raiders. Pats will win and then go on to beat the Eagles in the Super Bowl. Brady is going to be the MVP. It will be so cold but the electricity of the crowd in the stadium will warm us.

I also have to mention the scene in The Untouchables, when Malone(Sean Connery) dies. "Isnt it just like a wop to come to a gunfight with a knife"

Braveheart- scene when at the end of the battle, William Wallace(Mel Gibson)raises his sword in the air. Braveheart- Wallace giving speech before battle in which he emphasizes "freedom."
