    Discussion thread for the documentary "De Palma" (A24, 2015)

    Thank you for this alert and your careful thoughts, Jim. I've been a casual and intrigued fan of his for years. I had no idea, & would love to see this doc.

    Do you buy pre-2010 blu-rays?

    Great question that we all consider. If you don't know it's 4K release yet, then I'd say yes buy the best blu-ray version you like if it's before 2010 or not.

    Lord of the Rings Extended Editions coming back to a theater near you

    Curious to know how these films will look using "the versions that the filmmaker remastered in 2020 for a 4K Ultra HD rerelease." I did a binge of all six films about 7 years ago. This sounds fun, as these first three are most enjoyable to me. Can the tailbone take the long, extended version...

    What DVD Did You Watch Last?

    Hey stud, I was just goofing around with Exorcist II ...deserving a RESTORED, FRAME-BY-FUCKING-FRAME from the original negative into a 32K home theater release - all this following a worldwide, IMAX RELEASE due NEXT MONTH of May 2024!!! Whoops there I go again :cool:. I actually like parts of...

    What DVD Did You Watch Last?

    T2 Extreme: DVD & DVD-highdef-hybrid: Good points, & I think you aren't alone: probably most home theater folks found the computer-to-TV set up to be very awkward to impossible. Anyway, if the stars align in the future (maybe a laptop?) and you get to play around with it, and compare the 2 disc...

    What DVD Did You Watch Last?

    Yes, this one with the metal casing on the outside, young stud. Should be a 2-Disc, 2003 release. Before high definition majorly took off, this release had a new high def transfer for both: * disc one on the standard def disc * disc two with a unique high definition option Check out this cool...

    The Horror Movie Appreciation Thread

    Abigail (2024) Film just released. Trailer looked like it might have promise from strong production: "The film produced by William Sherak (Scream franchise, Ready or Not), Paul Neinstein (Scream franchise; executive producer, The Night Agent) and James Vanderbilt (Zodiac, Scream franchise) for...

    What DVD Did You Watch Last?

    ....i'll never forget that I got this for my college buddy, Marc, for his birthday. I gave it to him when I was driving us somewhere in Portland Oregon. He did not see it coming, we'd never even talked about this film. I just bought it spontaneously, and took a chance. Marc was shocked and...

    General Discussion BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (2003-2008)

    Fun that you watched where I was at, oh Wes-king-of-the-world-stud. And it honestly only got better. The last episode I just watched Wednesday evening was jawdropping. And I swear just that episode alone would have worked beautifully at a local theater screening. I'm serious. S3 Ep04 "Exodus...

    Anamorphic movies being Pan & Scan on broadcast TV?

    Strange, seems like it can be a careless, tragic "get the job done" process sometimes. I'll never forget seeing "Jaws" on DVD widescreen for the first time, and was totally astounded at what I'd missed from TV broadcasts.

    General Discussion BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (2003-2008)

    You finished the show last week - Wes? Wow! Clever with the [blanks] you wrote ↑, but I certainly followed along: true about Starbuck saving her :emoji_heartbeat: - they are great on screen. The 12 Cylon models are always great on screen :emoji_upside_down: and fires my spine At this...

    Upgrading home theater

    In-wall speakers intrigue me. Unless you are in a crammed location, soundbars are, yes, better than a TV's speakers, but ultimately sad. Sorry Denon was so unhelpful to you. The Denon AVR540 seems to be a 2020 release, per Crutchfields. The receiver may be limited in the back via only up to 5.2...

    General Discussion BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (2003-2008)

    Always frustrating when a beloved show isn't respected nor treated well, per what Jack P wrote in the above post #68, re the original Battlestar Galactica. **** Wes stud, at this point, I did go back to "The Farm" episode to figure out how Starbuck woke up in the makeshift hospital...

    Weird symbols on Denon AVR front panel display

    That's a good question. Maybe nothing, because I'm wondering if that location is supposed to be 'blacked out' and not display at all. And maybe the black covering slight broke off in a few chips? Just a guess. The Denon manual has a picture that shows nothing is even supposed to be in that...

    Improve the dialogue in my HT

    Rick, I've seen the advice of pulling the center speaker a few inches forward as well, per another home theater group on facebook. I ended up having to do that because I was running into the same issue, and it substantially helped. Ultra-random, but probably the best dialogue recording I've...
