Roman Polanski's "The Ghost Writer" A writer is hired to ghost the political memoirs of a former Prime Minister - but things just don't seem right. It's a mixture of mystery and political thriller, with a sullen aestetic. The story is interesting, the acting is great with Ewan McGregor as the...

The Best Offer Per IMDB: "A master auctioneer becomes obsessed with an extremely reclusive heiress who collects fine art." The Pros: -Great cast -Beautiful cinematography -Great character development. Each character I found interesting. The movie really deals with dialects (dual truths), and...

Staged in the early 80s, the Unionists wanted to keep Ireland and Britain connected, versus the Nationalists / IRA wanted to form a republic (Republic of Ireland). The British put captured IRA in cruel conditions, spurring protests within the prison. The movie's power comes from the character...

Thought maybe you guys might be interested in this. I've suffered from insomnia since I was a kid (hence, midnightsensi, lol) For sleep, I was always referred to a psychiatrist (awesome, if you never want a direct answer). Been diagnosed with just about everything from psychiatrists, but all...

Looking to expand distributed audio for a friend to the living room. The construction of the house allows for one side of the room to have a pair of inwall speakers (the other walls are exterior concrete, can't get wires there, etc). Music is listened to at a pretty loud volume, and without...

Anyone heard it yet? :) Hope Audioholics gets to review one. I'm interested in the 10" in gloss. Home Audio - Powered Subwoofers - E-Sub Why? Because I like subwoofers, and want a pretty one for the living room that's still made in America. (Bag End and Danley are made here, but, not so...

Posting on behalf of a friend that asked me, but, honestly, I'm a little stuck. He is looking at this: SVS Ultra Speaker System | Home Theater He wants bookshelfs/sub-sat setup, not towers. I haven't heard that system, and, whenever I read a review like that, I'm a little skeptical (b/c...

Hello. I'm still enjoying my dedicated room, but, I want to have a projector for the studio. It's bright in the waiting room during the day, but I have blackouts that come down and block ~90% ... but mostly it would be used at night anyways. I've been considering this: Optoma TH1060P...

Story is a development company saw fuzzy picture using Apple's Lighting to Video connector; they took it apart and found an ARM based chip in there... A summary and screenshots here: Lightning adapter to HDMI : a real quality issue | Le journal du lapin (Some other blog, no ****ing idea who...

I have a question, just out of curiosity. The Oppo-95 has analog outputs and a volume control (can someone confirm volume? Don't see a photo on their website...) For a 2.1 music system that occasionally played movies.... what would be the downside of using an Oppo 95, an active subwoofer...

What type of volume do various speaker builders make? What's the overhead like? Who are the demographics? How much time is spent on marketing? Do they have a firm or do it in house? Who does their media buys like print ads and web? Do they farm it out? Photography? Whats the raw materials...

Where do you guys buy high resolution music? I've been getting it from HD Tracks (www.hdtracks.com) and sometimes the label (I.e. like Trent Reznor & Attics Ross's stuff, some electronic music). I listen to lots of different styles: acoustic, reggae, dub, rock, classical, some rap...

Updating my mastering computer (I use it for mastering video soundtracks). I use Bag End PM6 active monitors and have just ordered a Bag End 12" Infra Pro subwoofer. My computer is currently connected to a Mackie board just using the headphone jack, not ideal I know. So, wanted to get a...

I want to make some tiny speakers for travel. :) I've been travelling a lot and headphones are great, but sometimes I'm at a location for a few weeks in a hotel room and would be cool to have some tiny 'travel' monitors for creative meetings and such. We usually kinda play off a laptop or...

So, we're into it. And I believe a niche will continue, but what do you guys think of the state of high quality listening today? Where do you think it will go? In some ways, I love all this new technology. Obviously my iPhone with a pair of Shure 530s is audio bliss on an airplane that...

Got a friend who has way more money than me. Building a ground up room, he asked for my help... I've been really out of the loop lately, what's the best projector and acoustically transparent screen available now? Room is going to be dedicated, room within a room (isolated for sound)...

Okay, another office question. I want to darken the tint on my lobby, make it moodier, and instead of LCDs do a projection on white walls. Ambient light levels would be like a nice restaurant, light enough to see text, read magazines, but most lighting would be spot rather than flood, so...

I'm not interested in buying one, I'm just curious about how they work. I searched Amazon, but I'm having trouble finding a book about how they are designed, the battery types, how they are cooled, how the power is transferred, etc. Again, not really an argument for or against them (but that's...

Watched this last night. The movie is about a campaign for president, following the campaign 'managers.' As the title suggests, it plays into the corruption and 'deals' that aren't really new to us. So, is it worth watching still? Yeah, I'd say so. The performances, well-written script...
