[Orion Bailey]

(I buy the DVD's. Movies are too expensive to go see and not own it.

 

[riverman]

My son...the nerd of all nerds will lineup for this one...buy the delux edition on blue ray with digital copy and give me the dvd after all his friends have seen it...it's a pattern

To me they are like sleeping pills....the lights go out in a theatre and ten minutes into a movie I'm snoring....I love the pause button on a movie

You mean Blu-ray right?

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

To the question, not me. Will rent Blu-ray when it comes out. Haven't been to theater in 2 plus years. Mine is better.

HAHA. For me I end up liking the rewinbd button. IF you fallen asleep, how cna you be awake to pause it???

You mean Blu-ray right?

Yes sir. Just got a new 4k 65 incher installed above the fireplace a couple weeks ago.

Not sure if I like it. Everything actually looks fake. Seems to have lost some realism in the movies to me. But its been BluRay for years.

I don't follow tvs much anymore but check avsforum for your model, there may be settings to adjust to get rid of the fake look you see. It was also really weird going from a plasma to lcd when we first switched....got used to it.

Oh yeah, my 1080 p dlp projector looks awesome. The 4k projectors seem to be getting more affordable so I'll probably wait at least another year, likey 2 and get one.

Im also wondering if its because we are a bit too close now with this new TV. Our couch is only about 8-10 ft away. When I watch something behind the couch or down the hall it seems to be less noticeable.

All good. We are selling the house after the New Year anyhow. Looking for a place with a minimum an acre and I'm going to custom design a pro studio onsite instead of having it under my living quarters. Got some good equity built up to build a nice studio. When we do the house we get will have a much larger living room quarters to be able to host large family gatherings and parties, etc. My current house is too sectionalized. But most importantly, Done with this neighborhood. After being robbed and then having a good friend murdered on Stark and 157th a week and a half ago, im done with the east side.

Do you maybe have Motion Smoothing turned on? It ruins everything and is often on by default on new TVs.

[santeesioux]

Modern Star Wars is kind of eh, maybe it's the RLM guys making me cynical of it.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I'll read the spoiler on www.themoviespoiler.com on opening night

Never seen a hybrid studio/home theater but the sound would be awesome.

I own one...with my 12 volt Roland amp I'm in business!

 

[GriLtCheeZ]

No, but I'll watch it on opening weekend, probably Sunday morning, or early afternoon.

 

[Stevenson]

I am going to share my Star Wars opening night story. It's a little long, but a classic - for all the wrong reasons!

It's 1979, I'm living in Los Angeles and Empire Strikes Back is about come out. My buddies and I decide that we are going to go down to Hollywood Boulevard to the world premiere midnight show of Empire. No one had any idea how the story would unfold - what was going to happen to Luke, where Darth flew off to, nothing. Remember, this is long before social media and the Internet. "Spoilers" were unheard of.

So we get in line and its a very long line. We got in line probably 9 pm for the midnight show. The line starts to snake forward, but in the end we were about 50 people shy of getting into the first show. So we decide to stay for the second showing, the 2 AM show. Man were we tired! It was sort of like this:

OK, so the midnight show let's out. The audience is buzzing and wild about the movie and what happened in Empire.

As we wait to get in and as the audience files out past us, my pal and I hear this wild man in the distance screaming something unintelligible, but bordering on English. "Dark bladder blah arrr Skywalker fod!" "Blarth Vader like may weather fudder!!" Finally the guy walks right past us, we listen closely, and we hear what he has been mumbling.

"Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's father!"

Worst. Spoiler. Ever.

Worst. Premiere. Ever.

Nothing wrong with the east side man, just don’t go past 60th!

 

[riverman]

That's what bikers from Oakland used to always say....then they'd steal your lunch

 

[THE HCP]

I remember being in probably 4th grade and my dad pulled me out of school to go see Empire! Waited in line forever, but i’ll never forget that day. Returned the favor and pulled my son out of school when he was in 5th grade to see the newest Indiana Jones movie.
Can’t wait fo him to do the same with his kid for the 4th Back to the Future.

 

[KingSpeed]

I'm going to the Star Wars marathon here in NYC. All 8 parts. Starts at 10pm on the 13th. 2.5 hour break after part 3 then 5 in a row. Probably done around 9pm on the 14th. Paid $100 for a ticket. Hopefully I'll still be awake by part 8.

I was habitual at that until my wife got too pissed! Loaded up on candy before movies since.
