Cemetary Man!

I second David Cronenberg! Notably, he's done guest appearances on television's "Alias", he was the best thing about the otherwise dismal "Jason X" ("I don't want him frozen, I want him soft.") and, of course, he played the pivotal role of the psychologist in Clive Barker's under-rated...

I really think the Kings season would have gone a lot better if Brad Miller hadn't hurt himself in the All Star game, and hadn't subsequently had elbow problems. I also think that Brad should have been starting instead of Webber or Vlade. He just wasn't as effective off of the bench. So...

I live in the Sacramento market, and it's been reported that Geoff Petrie has already considered an Artest for Peja trade and had no interest. Although Artest is a great player, I don't think he would fit in well with the Kings system. My gut feeling is that Peja does not get traded. After...

Well, Blockbuster Video is getting into the internet rentals by mail business as well. With their name recognition, marketing ability, and the fact that you also get a few free rentals at the brick and mortar stores every month (for impulse rentals), I think they are going to be strong...

Surely you mean, John Woo's finest American film, right? As much as I enjoy Face/Off, it doesn't hold a candle to The Killers, Hard Boiled, A Bullet in the Head, or A Better Tomorrow 1 and 2. --LEVI

Hi, There were two versions of Fast Company released, a limited edition two disc set with those two films including as bonus features, and a single disc version which omitted those two films. eBay almost always has a DVD for sale that is just those two Cronenberg shorts, but I'm pretty...

This is easy: Bride of Frankenstein Runners Up: Brazil (Criterion) / Black Hawk Dawn (3 disc). --LEVI

I only get ten? 10. Johnny Cash 9. Converge 8. Fugazi 7. Big Black 6. Seven Seconds 5. Portishead 4. AFI 3. Smiths 2. Earth Crisis 1. Misfits/Samhain/Danzig Runners up: Milemarker, Q and Not U, Sunny Day Real Estate, Bjork, Indecision, Integrity, Old Man Gloom, Gorilla...

If you're going to include wrestlers, my favorite athlete performance is of Andre the Giant in The Princess Bride. The best pro-wrestler/actor is probably Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, who hasn't yet gotten his break-out role. On that point, if you count body-builders as actors, "Ahh-nuld" is...

I'm not against getting a DVD recorder to add to my set-up. Would a cheap DVD recorder do a good job for what I want it to do? Is it easy to record from a PVR to a DVD? --LEVI

This is absolutely correct! Quoted from Video Store Magazine: "It was the announcement heard around the industry - and the flashpoint for today's booming sell-through business. At the nascent VSDA's first national convention, held in Dallas in the late summer of 1982, then Paramount Picture's...

I have the Dish Network PVR and I want to record archived content to DVD. What is the best way to accomplish this? I'm not really interested in an expensive DVD recorder to replace my current PVR or DVD player. If I was to get a DVD recorder, I would be using it only to archive content, so I...

The last pan'n'scan DVD I've purchased was "The Wraith" from the Wal-Mart bargain bin. I don't mind having this in full-screen because it's a terrible movie to begin with, and frankly I don't care about the director's intent! I only wanted to own it because it was on tv all the time when I was...

Well, the unfortunate fact of the matter is that TRU has lost an incredible amount of ground in the toy market to Wal-Mart and Target. Toys R Us is no longer the number one toyseller in the US, it's Wal-Mart. The lay-out changes are because their new CEO (ex-FAO Schwarz) was brought in...

I rented "On The Waterfront" yesterday, with my plan being to watch it tonight, and I just rewatched The Godfather last week. I'll definitely be a little sad while watching the movie now. --LEVI

The DS is goint to have Legend of Zelda games!! That, to me, is the defining difference between the two. No Zelda... No dice! --LEVI

I thought "The Perfect Score" was terrible, so even though I'm a Scarlett fan I won't be picking this one up. Barbershop 2 doesn't interest me in the slightest. I've seen both Deathdream and King of the Ants, and I enjoyed them both quite a bit so I'll end up grabbing those eventually. --LEVI

Hi, I have a couple of questions on progressive scan. My tv locks in widescreen mode when I'm viewing DVDs, which is a problem when I put in, say, the Simpsons. My DVD player can display it 4:3 with black bars on both sides. Is it better to keep the player in progressive scan mode and let the...

I bought a new DVD player and new component cables, and sat down tonight to watch Butterfly Effect. Everything was fine for the first 45 minutes, and then the movie turned green on me. The green color is evenly distributed. Imagine a pure white screen (or any other color)- on my television, it...

No, thankfully this is not the case. The green tint was not noticeable when the screen is entirely black. It only appeared when there was color on the screen. For instance, in Bad Santa, Billy Bob Thornton and all of his surroundings were bathed in unnatural green light for a few moments after a...

I was viewing the DVD in the Samsung's "Movie" mode, which has contrast at 35, Brightness at 75, Sharpness at 25, Color at 57 and R 56 G 44. I never use "Dynamic" mode, which has contrast set at 100. --LEVI

I tried a new S-Video cable, and the problem persists. I'm not sure how to describe what happens.. whenever the movie I'm viewing "cuts" to a new scene, or even between two actors talking to each other, the entire picture takes a greenish hue for about three seconds and then the greenish hue...

Hi! I'm new to the forum and to HT in general. I just bought my first nice television, a floor model Samsung Widescreen HDTV 30inch. My problem is, when I watch DVDs on it, whenever the scene changes, the color tint turns green for a moment before it normalizes. I'm hoping the problem is with my...
