  1. First rule about Fight Club is... You do not talk about Fight Club. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOa4fvUlhiE
  2. I hear you.... 2014 Miss Denmark is definitely a deal breaker. 2015 Miss Denmark, Cecilie Wellemberg would have been the much better option. Cecilie Wellemberg
  3. All I have is the Beocom 6000
  4. Games are Region free with the PS4 (not locked). I'd have to check to see if Blu-ray movies are Region free as well.
  5. I'm tempted to grab this one later this month:

    What I Got Today!

    Nice !! Great pick up! 125wpc x 9, Atmos, DTS:X & HDCP 2.2... you got it all covered. Enjoy setting up your new HT.
  13. The "Pig Trough" at Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour. I understand that after being gone for a long time, recently a new group has resurrected the name in SoCal & Hawaii. But they have not been in my area for decades. I wonder how the new enterprise stacks up to the original.
  14. It's official. Price drop & new bundles just announced starting tomorrow.... Friday, October 9th. The Uncharted Nathan Drake Bundle for only $349 is a great deal, especially if you've never played the series before...its a great game. WIth the bundle you get the complete 3 games series, remastered for the PS4. https://www.playstation.com/en-us/games/uncharted-the-nathan-drake-collection-ps4/
  15. We're a speaker forum. We buy speakers for movies & music.Any amount of money spent could be categorized as "expensive just to watch a movie". But, if you want to upgrade (any portion of) your HT (whether it be a TV, Speakers, AVR, etc.)....$1000 & change is a small amount relatively speaking. Atmos changed my HT experince , making the upgrade completely worthwhile, no question. But, depends on how much of a movie buff you are or not.

    NASA lights it up

    Even more important... is if one actually believes the "reason" NASA releases to the public. A considerable majority of NASA activities fall under the Dept.of Defense & by their origin are categorized with classified status.
  17. Couple of AVR options: Pioneer VSX-1130-K.... 7.2 x 100wpc w/Atmos: $600 (BNIB) Denon AVR-X4100W.... 7.2 x 125wpc w/Atmos: $750 (BNIB) Onkyo TX NR545....7.2 x 115wpc w.Atmos: $700 (BNIB) Yamaha's entry level Atmos RX-A850 is $1000 Marantz's entry level Atmos NR1606 is $700... but is only 7.1 x 50wpc ========================== Klipsch upward firing add-on modules RP-140SA: $500 pair Klipsch ceiling speakers CDT-5650-C ll: $700 pair 50ft 14AWG Speaker wire for Atmos speakers: $11.00 ========================== So, based on MSRP.....$1100 for an Atmos capable AVR & pair of speakers. (you can/should find better than MSRP).

    NASA lights it up

    Interesting launch of chemical vapor tracers by NASA into the atmosphere tonight over the east coast. Seems to be an effort that has been in practice since the 50's. Anybody catch anything unusual in the sky over the east coast tonight? http://gizmodo.com/a-nasa-experiment-is-going-to-light-up-the-sky-with-bea-1735168250
  19. Yes... all titles also offer DD TrueHD 7.1 (for users who do not yet have Atmos decoding). However, none of the Atmos titles (from Lionsgate, Universal, Paramount, Red Bull MH or Warner Bros.) also include DTS. Exceptions being.... The Hunger Games: Mockingjay-Part 1, features DTS: Headphones: X And the earlier (original 2014 release) of Gravity, featured DTS-MA That's too bad. I'm not going to get Atmos, and, so far, I prefer DTS Master to Dolby True. Wait till you get Atmos. Confident you will then prefer Atmos over DTS-HD MA.
  20. I'm only listing titles that have been confirmed for release with Atmos. To date, Universal's upcoming Jurassic World has only been announced as DTS MA HD. Since it's coming out in a few days... pretty sure the first dip will not offer Atmos. Universal has released several Atmos Blu-rays; Unbroken, The Gunman & the soon to be released... The Minions, so they can author the mix. However, Jurassic World never had an Atmos mix for the Theatrical release. The strange thing for me is that there have been several Theatrical releases in Atmos (Kingsmen the Secret Service, Avengers Age of Ultron, Tomorrowland, etc.)... but the Blu-ray release was not offered in Atmos. Double dip greed.
  21. Well,,, you'll save some money (lol) I did see Mary Shelly's Frankenstein with De Niro & thought it was horrible. Coppola's Dracula was a bit earlier than that... but I might have been unfairly associating with De Niro's Frankenstein. Sometimes its better to have lower expectations coming in. Then again... I've yet to determine if HDCP 2.2 has been implemented with this 4K release.... I might not even be able to watch it. (lol)
  22. Dude, you need to see the movie. All joking aside, even Keanu acts well in this. Yes, it is a love story told from multiple perspectives, but the dialogue and flow of the story and the building of tension from Dracula's manipulation is superb. I imagine the ATMOS track will add atmosphere (fancy that huh) to the dread the movie's tone sets. Crap man, I will buy it for you and ship it. You need to see this. The Fifth Element & Leon The Professional are day-one purchases. Looking forward to remastered Atmos version of both. I guess I'll make it a Gary Oldman trifecta.... & pick up Dracula with Atmos. I've never seen it (or even part of it) in the theater, DVD, or cable. One could argue I'll be seeing the best version with my 1st viewing. Thanks for the recommendation !
  23. Haaa... good stuff. So far, I have 11 of the 16 available Atmos titles. I'm excited to see that Terminator Genisys & Mission Impossible will be getting an Atmos release. edit: 12 of the 16... Dracula will be coming home. The only 4 I don't have are: The Age of Adaline, Step-Up, Turtles & Gunman.
  24. So.... I've never actually seen (Francis Ford Coppola's) Bram Stroker's Dracula. Despite the stellar cast, it never really captured my interest (unless I;m wrong, I thought it was a slow burn love story). With everything in Sony's arsenal, I have to say it seems like a strange catalog choice to kick off Sony's brand new Cinema Series, complete with 4K restoration & Atmos. Any of you guys recommend (1992) Dracula?
