Neighbor A is a decent, law-abiding citizen who lives in a quiet suburban neighborhood. Neighbor B is also a decent, law-abiding citizen and lives a few houses down. Neighbor A and Neighbor B are both men, both have spouses, and the two families are friends with each other, and frequently visit...

Sony Dynamic Digital Sound. I see the SDDS logo at the end of many movies, right by the Dolby and DTS logos. But I've never seen this logo or heard anything about it in conjunction with home theater gear. What is it, and why is it only used for commercial cinemas and not home cinemas?

Well then I guess you're not really included in the group "those of you who do the whole movie theater experience, including showing trailers before the main feature". ;) Seriously, though, I'm not talking about being forced to watch the trailers at the beginning of commercial DVDs. I'm...

Steve Jobs' job is to make sure Apple's customers get what they want, not what he (Jobs) thinks they should have. Like most politicians, Jobs seems to forget this. There seems to be a not-insignificant group of people that want Blu-Ray on Macintosh. I do not believe that this is too...

I remember a few years ago, one of the TV manufacturers--I think it was Philips, but don't remember for certain--had a feature on some of their TVs that would illuminate the wall behind the TV with light colored to match the average on-screen color. Anyone remember that? Maybe they still have...

For those of you who do the whole movie theater experience, including showing trailers before the main feature, do you include trailers for the movie that's about to come, or do you only show trailers for other movies? Also, do you randomly select other trailers, or do you try to stay within...

I might be interested. But unfortunately I live in Maryland. Any idea what shipping would cost? Do you have the matching stand (or any suitable stand) to sell with it, or am I on my own there?

Eric, thanks for letting me know about Google. You should spread the word; looks like a useful place, maybe some day it will become the most popular search engine ever. Oh...you did notice the dates on the earlier posts, right? The eegs.com link answers questions that have been answered for...

Has anybody else noticed that the easter eggs have changed? Or is it just my imagination? I bought this DVD soon after it first came out. I somehow lost it, and recently rebought it. I recall at least three segments in the disc 1 "bloopers" that used to be there but aren't there now: 1. A...

Rachael, if you're interested in selling that LD, I'm interested in buying. :)

Anybody waiting for this DVD? Anybody have any idea when or if it might come?

I have a Sony DVP-S9000ES that I bought secondhand from another HTF member (I can't remember his name). The player worked fine for months, but now it doesn't play anything at all. It gives a Disc Error message, after taking a minute or two to try to read the disc. This actually happened several...

Hey, sorry to dig up an old thread, but I've been stuck in the real world for awhile... Anyway, I've gone from good times (bought a lot of DVDs) to bad times (sold almost all of those DVDs) and am now back to decent times (rebuilding my collection). I'd like to replace many of the titles I've...

Out of curiosity, I'd like to know what the original MSRP and typical actual price was for the Sony DVD-S9000ES DVD player. This was their flagship model until nearly the end of 2002. I have a copy of Crutchfield's web pages listing this model from 10/02 and it was $999 then, but I'm pretty sure...

I've been looking forward to seeing this movie for my first time ever since I first saw the episode of M*A*S*H where they watched (or, more accurately, tried to watch) it. I missed the fact that it was being released on DVD, but now that I know about it I'll be out to by it ASAP. :)
