Rowan611 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Funny how this forum has become a part of my life. I literally drove to Minnesota and have met kapsnb01. And then Rowan611 has totally been to my theater and heard all my gear. And you guys live only a few hours from each other and have never met lol. This is such a great hobby. It has made me a lot of friends over the last couple years. Yeah. It would be nice to try and work a plan to meet. I'm more than willing to drive on up! I know we're entering the crazy season, so if next year works better??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Just got the Thorens up and running. It still needs a good cleaning, but The Dark Side Of The Moon is sounding great. Please ignore the messy craft room, as this where my wife and kids have at it. I don't get to enjoy this system much these days, so this is kind of a treat.

I know we're entering the crazy season, so if next year works better??? I think that'd be fun also. Probably right in that it'd be best to plan something for after New Year's. Mr. Due, you're certainly welcome to join...maybe we can crank the Epic's up a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, didn't look like there were any new scenes different from the 2004 DVDs. Although its been years since I've watched those versions. Return tonight. Excited.

Pete H Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 The new Jurassic Park. Not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nismo Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Back to back dogs in the HT. First Jurassic now Terminator Genisys. What a waste. They sure can suck the cool (and any talent) from a franchise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan611 Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) I agree Genysis wasn't that great. However, the audio was fantastic. I thought I heard some clipping here and there, specifically in the center channel. But, it still sounded fantastic. The clipping wasn't Godzilla bad.

Nismo Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 It was so bad, the stank of the movie didn't allow me to separate & enjoy the audio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derrickdj1 Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 The clipping wasn't Godzilla bad. I really like this Godzilla and didn't notice any clipping. It just shows, one guys garbage is another guys treasure, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nismo Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Well, I have high hopes for 2019... when we might finally have a great Terminator movie again. The Terminator was James Cameron's baby (based in part from a dream he had). However, since (at the time) Cameron was an unproven, no-name director from Canada... & no studio would allow him to direct the movie (he co-wrote) about time traveling robots. So, in 1984 when Cameron was living in his car... in order to be allowed to direct his project, he agreed to sell the rights to the Terminator... for $1. In 2019, Cameron finally gets the rights back to the franchise he created. 1.8 Billion dollars later, and 3 sequels later, in which he had no involvement. The property bounced around from studio to studio for the past 35 years, but soon he will be back in control of the Terminator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice LFE too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nismo Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Watched Episode IV last night. Well, the changes weren't awful in this one - except Greedo shooting first and not Han. That still doesn't sit well with me. I think a few scenes are unnecessary and don't add anything to the movie, but don't detract nfrom it either. I will say I've never seen it look so good or sound so good. Nice lower end, very full sounding. Empire is up tonight. I'm really rather enjoying myself with these; having watched the original versions of IV, V, VI just a few months ago. Somewhat related to Movies, Blu-ray & HT in general. Here's a pretty cool & unique approach that Star Wars fans can hang framed art in the HT. These classic Greek sculpture Star Wars mach-up are the creation of artist (simulated name) Travis Durden. All images are purely Photoshop creations, based on classic marble sculptures from the Louvre. Kinda cool. Prints range from $70-$480 (US) & can be purchased here: http://www.galerie-sakura.com/ficheproduit.php?photography_ID=1561 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
