It's been a while since I've been very active here- small children kinda got in the way!! (Just had my second daughter 2 weeks ago) I've been doing research on and off for the past 6 months on a variety of sites- this one, HTPC Assassin, AVS, and a variety of others. I think what I really need...

Ive got a used Onkyo 805 that is in excellent condition. It was bought new upon original release (summer 2007), and was used but well cared for through April of this year. I've linked to the manual for those interested in full specs. I have the remote and the Manual, but not the original box...

I just moved and I'm planning to have all of my components wired into a closet just off the living room in my condo. I've been looking at various options for RF remotes- the Harmony 900, Harmony 1100 with the RF kit, URC 980, or the URC 450. To date I've found that Harmony remotes have more...

Can anybody in the NYC metro area recommend somebody for a home theater install? My wife and I bought a new condo (just moved yesterday), and I'd like to have everything wired into a conveniently placed closet- since it's a condo as opposed to a house and I cannot see well behind the walls, I'm...

Not sure we've discussed this one yet, but this is one of my favorites of all time- looks like it got an amazing BD treatment. http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/apocalypsenowbluray.php

http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/lordoftheringstriloblu.php I put a lot of trust into this site with their reviews (particularly on the PQ and AQ side)- I'm pretty shocked at how "low" they rated the PQ on the release. Obviously Warner Bros is going to double or triple dip the releases, but...

Company lost $450 million in 2009, that's 15% worse than what they lost in 2008. Sales plunged 16%, and the company has some serious debt problems. They shut 250+ stores last month, with another 150+ to be shut in April. Netflix, in comparison, is making 30-40 million a quarter...

My wife gave birth to our first child, a daughter, on Friday at 12:16 pm. 8 lbs even, 20 inches long, and everybody is home now and doing fantastic. We named her Marissa Corinne- and she had a great time watching the Super Bowl with us last night on the home theater :p. This really...

I think it's pretty clear that Tiger got caught creeping and Elin decided to come after him with a 3 iron.

I have not bought the box set yet, but the couple of reviews that I've read have been raving. The PQ is supposed to be stellar- "Oz has never looked so beautiful on screen" as one reviewer said. As for the AQ, they added a TrueHD surround track that still relies mainly on the fronts (as any...

In 3 words- SO MUCH FUN!!!!! I am so sore today from playing for several hours yesterday. It's actually a pretty intense arms, back, and abs workout- with some cardio thrown in. Head to head is a blast (my wife was all about trying to kick my butt) and of course many of the original...

Anybody have any opinions on GPS devices? Obviously I've heard lots about the Garmin due to their incessant marketing campaigns, but I'm curious for any advice on models and reliability.

Has anybody used www.standsandmounts.com before? I've had a lot of experience with www.racksandstands.com in the past and love them, but I'm in the market for an audio rack and I've found a couple of things I like better on Stands & Mounts, and before I start purchasing I wanted to get some...

Saw it in the theater yesterday (we went before Noon, so the tix were half-price), and it was hilariously funny. Probably not worth the full price ticket, but it is absolutely worth a matinee price and a definite rental/buy. Downside of the theater- sounded like they had blown out their...

Pretty sure there hasn't been a thread on this movie yet.... Went to see it this weekend- in a word, AMAZING!! Mickey Rourke was literally born to play his role, and Marisa Tomei gives an outstanding performance as well (and she is SMOKING hot :D). The cinematography is outstanding for a...

I want something simple for the home- not spending a lot of money. Can anybody make recommendations?

So we're watching The Office last night on NBC, and during one of the commercial breaks there's a teaser ad for the 11:00 news, during which the anchors were exclusively talking about upcoming reporting on the Hudson River plane crash- no surprise since that was the biggest news of the day...

Is it just me, or are they trying to rip off the plots of Die Hard 2 & 4????

I thought about putting this in the worst movie experience thread, but I thought it deserved its own... especially considering I want to take more cheap shots at Philadelphia :D. http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/12/27/movie.shooting/ Check out this guy's mugshot!!!!

I have a code valid through 10/27 for 20% DVD orders- SDWBAE
