I vaguely remember the original. I liked it as a kid, but then I liked almost anything with a science fiction element. My favorite scene was the "shower" that burned off a layer of skin.

The Remains of the Day made me cry. So did Harry and Tonto.

Thanks, I will try. For me, the worst thing about work is simply being at work, as there are always things I would much rather be doing. I did enjoy my brief experience with freelancing (as a graphic artist), but it offered little or no security.

I have never had a job that didn't suck, no matter how much I enjoyed it before it became a job. I think it is fair to say that work sucks as a matter of principle.

I haven't watched actual television in more than 10 years. If I want to watch a TV show, I get it on DVD. In that sense, my HT is movies only. (I also have a separate music-only system in another room.)

I would never watch any movie that often, no matter how much I liked it. It would quickly become boring. (I try to never watch a given movie or TV episode more than once per year.)

I agree with studio monitors. The Behringers are great, as are the Alesis Monitor Ones. A big advantage is that they are designed for nearfield use.

Ticks have always been a problem here in Oklahoma. If one attaches to you, never pull it off, as the jaws can remain attached and become infected. Applying strong heat (like a soldering iron) or strong chemical (like a drop of bleach) will cause it to let go and drop off.

The correct term is "bawling" not "balling".:D

A great movie. No need for BD, though, as I enjoy it thoroughly on standard DVD.

You should definitely check out something that uses Acoustic Holography or Qsound. Roger Waters' The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking and Sting's The Soul Cages are great choices. Also, if do do a search online, you can find a few binaural recordings.

I don't think that that is the only reason. I have had the opportunity to compare standard CD and SACD versions of the same recording on an excellent system. In 2-channel mode, there was simply no difference at all. This is not because SACD is not excellent, but rather because CD leaves no room...

There is a certain volume level that I like. Any quieter, and the music seems to lack a certain presence or fullness. Any louder, and it seems excessive. I don't know what this level is in terms of dB, but I know it when I hear it. I think of it as a "natural" level, even though it is much...

It has now been three weeks. Instead ofbecoming bored with them, I love them more every day. They passed an A/B test with my Def Techs with flying colors. They are starting to look like candidates for my "final" speakers. (Oh, and the bass is growing on me, too. I no longer think I need a sub.)

What is the point of introducing yet another "high definition" music format, especially since none of the others ever caught on?:confused:

It is scary to see that the post that started this thread was complaining about $1.80/gal. Where I live, it is now $3.75 and rising!:eek:

A funny, funny man. He will be sorely missed.

Favorite actress: Shirley Maclaine. Favorite actor: Sean Connery.

I bought a Sony Discman right when they first came out (around 1982), and it sounded fantastic. It instantly and permanently rendered my vinyl collection obsolete.

I have never been married, but I also don't make a very good salary. A lot of the extra cash I do have goes into books, CDs, and DVDs.
