Rumor has it there are some subtle tweaks coming to the original TRON's re-release. Thoughts?

Why not kill yourself right now? One day that's going to happen anyway...

I have it, but I cannot watch it yet as my sound system is set up incorrectly.

No such thing in a movie so bad its TV commercials tried to pawn quotes from the movie off as critical acclaim

It's... all over the internet. Haha.

"I say we're in range. Fire now!"

Isn't there a jump cut with the music? Not necessarily the footage, but the audio...

The Outsiders, complete novel edition.

Ackmena the Marine. Neat stuff.

Mystery solved.

Remembering John Lennon today. My favorite local radio station aired KMET's news broadcast from 30 years ago - which was really neat On a more personal note, my grandfather passed 3 years ago on this date.

Weird how you remember exactly where you are when you learn about these things, isn't it?

Thanks hairy_hen! I figure it'll be worth investing in the extra cord if only for ease of it later on. Plus, I'm pretty sure it plays other stuff in regular 5.1 so the downmix can't be the problem.

What do I need for DTS HD output? I have a relatively new receiver and five speakers. Specifically, we have this.

I have the HDMI input for the blu-ray player plugged directly into the tv, and then the tv is connected to our receiver via an optical cable. I don't see why it wouldn't work under these circumstances, but it doesn't. The speakers are all very old, but the receiver is practically brand new. Any ideas? All I want is my damn Apocalypse Now... if this helps, this is our blu-ray player. If someone could help you'd be y hero for the day.

Good to know! Thanks for the update Puggo.

I love how the trailer narration works like the Special Edition one from way back when. A nice tribute... of course, it may have been the original style too. I just remember those better.

Believe me, bumping is forgiven in this case. I'm very curious as well!

No more rhymes now, I mean it!

I, of course, meant just for the review. You are correct.

And, the verdict on Run for Your Life is: the US mono issue is as fast as the stereo CD issue, so the cartoon was definitely incorrect. The more dominant guitar riffs even sound kind of awkward. I would definitely imagine the cartoon either used a different take or slowed it down to fit the music video.

Nice shirt. Classy. Anyway, reviewing the review as I watch! Totally agree about Revolver being one of their best, it ties with Abbey Road. Nice use of the Feebles clip! I loved the mini-TV rant. OK, I never got "Drive my Car". Funny, I thought Norwegian Wood was about a lesbian. In general, you seem to know your stuff - I hope you knew a bunch about it without looking it up! Nowhere Man's definitely my favorite, personally. Also: Ringo is amazing in that cartoon. In My Life also is a very strong song!

So, basically, the cartoon clips were a good choice. But, why is Run for your Life so slow? Is this some mono-mix I'm unaware of?

I can't tell if TheBoost was at least being half-serious...

just this little thing. She liked it on the pool table.

My aunt liked it on the pool table.

Solo... The Wall's kind of already a movie. What're you talkin about?

IS THIS WHAT WE HAVE BECOME?!? MISERABLE CREATURES RAISED BY POP CULTURE?

This thread seriously needs a topic, or it'll just end up like the rest of the Moronathon!
