 The Blair Witch Project [DVD] [1999]
The Blair Witch Project [DVD] [1999]
Artisan's DVD of The Blair Witch Project is a Dolby 2.0, full-screen 1.33:1 presentation. What would one expect from a movie famous for shaky camerawork? Predictably, plenty of the special features explore the made-up mythology of the film. The best of these is "Curse of the Blair Witch," the 45-minute "documentary" originally aired on cable TV to hype the film. The fascinating commentary and production notes step out of the "documentary" conceit to explain the nuts and bolts of the filmmaking. Two things were frustrating about the commentary by directors Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez: discussion of deleted scenes that the filmmakers hoped to see "end up somewhere" (they didn't), and references to specific dialogue that the viewer can't hear over the commentary (the directors may have the movie memorized, but most of us don't). Beyond those two problems, the commentary is a great window into the movie-making process, including the techniques used to make the actors almost as hungry and scared as their characters. To find some semi-hidden features, select "Special Features," arrow down to the stick figure symbol, and press enter. Ignore the ad for Stephen King's The Stand and watch the trailers for Blair Witch instead.

Even though I still have a working VHS player, we've been working on replacing all the old VHS tapes. This was a great movie, and this was a good price for the DVD.

This is a great External Hard Drive. The space vs. cost ratio is great [about $33.00/TB]. I made it even better with a 10% OFF coupon.
Definitely recommend - waiting for some money to arrive in my bank, then I can buy another!

This is sufficiently inexpensive while having plenty of space to hold almost everything I have. Oh yeah... Very fast in USB 3.0 - still fast in 2.0.

How to connect DVD to TV or DVR

How do I connect my DVD to my HDTV or my DVR , wheb there are not enough port in the back of my TV , do I need to buy any special gadget?
You need a TV Signal Splitter switch. I have one that lets me choose one of 4 sources to feed to my DVR (which hooks into the TV). If your DVD has HDMI output, and your cable hook-up(?) also uses HDMI to connect to your DVR or TV, you need to find a switch with HDMI input and output. Some switches are for coax only, some are for the RCA Video input (3 cables each hook-up - red, yellow, & white in my experience). There are some that are for multiple types of inputs.

Looking for TV recorder/player combined with DVD player for exercise recordings

I have a Philips DVR/DVD Recorder. I can record TV off air, or cable, to the DVR (with 160GB hard drive), and I can burn DVDs of about 4-5 hours of stuff per DVD on the built-in DVD player/recorder. I currently have about 150 shows recorded still on the DVR (I record one channel from 8 PM to 11:30PM, every day [on Sunday - I start at 7PM] - I can edit the night into the individual shows, and delete what I don't want, or have already watched) - going back about 2 years. I don't have the model number handy, since I've had this for several years.

What is considered high speed internet?

I'm thinking of getting Ruko but wondering if my current Internet will work! Major concern with speed and distance from Internet to Ruko unit. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
I just got the Roku 2 (for my older TV). The router is in the dining room, and is DSL (which is faster than dial-up, but not as fast as cable or fiber). There is about 15-18 feet between the router and the TV, and there is a coffee table with books, magazines and DVDs on it between the router and the Roku (which is under the TV). In other words, it isn't a clear shot from the router to the Roku. [Part of a wall is in between too]. Works great! Beautiful picture so far.
