    Apartment projector screen

    I really went back and forth on the fixed frame while renting vs fixed frame while owning and I saw the one you posted but ended up going (good or bad LOL) with:

    Apartment projector screen

    Short story - I had a LG 55' 3DTV (passive glasses) which died last year (taking about 90 3D Blu ray titles with it), but after talking with someone I know I got the urge to try one more time before prices go even higher, and to be real honest I missed watching those 3D films. :) I've never...

    A Question for 3D Nuts Who Have Given Up 3D

    I've been looking into it, and even opened up the back panel to see it there was anything obviously wrong...but nothing. It comes on for about 15 seconds, makes a "phht" type noise and then shuts itself off and tries to come back on but just to a black screen. Doing some research (now that I...

    A Question for 3D Nuts Who Have Given Up 3D

    I actually have now joined the group of 3-D collecting that has come to a end, since my 2011 LG 55 inch just started dying on me and won't stay on more then 10 seconds. I now have to admit it's time to step into the 4k arena and wait until the next generation of 3d TVs come around. I too am...

    That is a great price - was that a Shout! Sale by any chance?

    What's the last TV DVD/Blu-ray you bought?

    I just bought "The Odd Couple" complete series for $21.00 and "Taxi" complete series for $23.00 (both new), I bring this up because I would love to get "Lou Grant" and or "Quincy M.E." but even now those series are still going for $30.00 per season. I noticed when It comes to Shout! factory...

    3D Top 30 Must Own 3D Blu-Ray Releases

    Got my pre-order in at Amazon.UK for Avengers: Endgame (3D), it's got a September release date. I still wish there would be a Region 1 version but I will give Disney props for making their releases Region Free at least, and that is known as looking on the bright side (..of life in case anyone...

    Let's Talk Headphones

    Just wanted to post a update, I really like these headphones. I watched Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense using the 5.1 track and with the high setting for the headphones and I could hear how the music was in the "front" 2/3s and the crowd noise was in the lower back part of the ear pieces...

    Let's Talk Headphones

    So I got everything setup and charged and the first thing I threw in was Rush's Snakes and Arrow concert Blu ray and OMG!!! Now to put this in perspective I have lived a life of stereo, so the first thing I did was turn on the surround to high setting and start with Limelight and the sound...

    What did you watch this week in classic TV on DVD(or Blu)?

    I actually started Night Court, which even at 9 seasons I can get through very easily , but on a slower pace I'm halfway through season 1 of The Untouchables at one episode every morning when I get off work. The funny thing about that is when I grew up in the 80s and saw this on TV, it was...

    Let's Talk Headphones

    Mike, thanks for the thoughts on how they sound. Amazon refused to leave it at my door yesterday but after chatting with CS they promise it will be today so I haven't had a chance to try mine out yet. I can't lie: the thought of hearing a movie in 5.1 in headphones I know is a bit of a...

    Let's Talk Headphones

    Mike I have this pair of headphones coming later this afternoon, thanks for buying it first and posting here LOL. I know this is NOT true 5.1 Surround, but I have never had that to begin with and this will be my first attempt hearing it in my apartment, do you pick up any of the...

    Looking to "cut the cord" Tivo a good option?

    Going in a different direction I also looked to Tivo or some other recording device for OTA once I cut the cord 12 years ago, and I use WINTV, which is a USB dongle that the antenna would connect to and then a computer/laptop is the recording device. The software is the tuner, which is good for...

    Samsung Announces It Will No Longer Make 4K UHD or Blu-ray Players

    I find this very interesting because I still am a person that has physical media (Blu, 3DBlu,and DVD) and I'm in my 40s, however from what I gather talking with those in their 20's and 30's (that are not serious movie fanatics) is something almost so very left field.....they are NOT a house...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Dr. Mabuse: The Gambler -- in Blu-ray

    Thanks for the thoughts!! I still cant't believe I haven't spent the money yet on a region free Blu player yet to get the UK version, but I am glad Kino is a option to have.

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Dr. Mabuse: The Gambler -- in Blu-ray

    Does anyone that owns the Kino Blu or the UK version (271 min) that would say this is rewatchable more then once a year due to the 4.5 hour length? I have seen clips and it looks good and could see breaking it up over 2-3 nights viewing but if this is more "film school one and done" type I may...

    Blu-ray Review Chaplin's Essanay Comedies 1915 Blu-ray Review

    Sorry to bring this thread back up, but I can't seem to find any other info...did this title go Out of Print? Flicker Alley says out of stock but more on the way, and Amazon has the "over $100 3rd party seller" thing going on.

    A Few Words About A few words about…™ The Marx Brothers Silver Screen Collection — in Blu-ray

    With Warner Archives just released Thing From Another World, 1951 out in the market now, is there any news at all on releasing the Warner Marx Brothers on Blu? It seems this may be the only route these movies can get released outside of the "old" DVD set.

    Mystery & Crime Series 30's & 40's

    I have enjoyed this thread as I really tend to grab and watch the "B"s more often then the "A" films, but my question is are most of the titles talked about here out of print? Just glancing over at Amazon it seems The Thin Man series is around 100.00, Mr. Moto Vol 1 and 2 is 100.00, same with...

    Are live symphony performances to a movie available?

    It's good to know at least one of these types are available, I'm wondering if either a split of profits between a studio and the orchestra isn't able to be done or if the studio thinks a recording would compete with official soundtrack profits. I guess it makes the performance a "In person"...

    Are live symphony performances to a movie available?

    Thanks for the reply, yeah I was just wondering how these are handled. I plan on going to see a version of this to Frankenstein (1931) in October so it got me thinking of a possible home re-creation. :)

    Are live symphony performances to a movie available?

    Near where I live there have been live symphony performances that play along with the film being shown, a example would be the Harry Potter Movies, or Star Wars: A New Hope. I have heard of silent films being shown the same way. I'm not worried about what city or orchestra performs, but is it...

    3D Top 30 Must Own 3D Blu-Ray Releases

    Does anyone have a 3D review of "Rampage" (2018)? The main movie thread is talk with 2D, and my local chain didn't have a 3D showing so 2D is how I had to see it. Not looking for a movie review - having seen it, but more of depth/pop-out thoughts. Thanks!!!
