Its more then likely in the last place you would think it is(been there before)

Yes and i would do that too if indeed i had a disc for it Wink

See http://www.avsforum.com/t/948496/avs-hd-709-blu-ray-mp4-calibration

You can download calibration patterns (grayscales, convergence patterns, etc) and burn them onto a BR, and/or put them on a memory stick and use them in your PS3, laptop, whatever. Definitely the way to go!

Different studio did that one. So they didn't include it in the box set.

Yeah, and God forbid the studios would team up and work something out so fans could buy a complete product. Rolling Eyes

Didn't know that. So stupid.

Couple of nights ago we watched We're the Millers. Pretty funny stuff.

Definitely want to check this one out. The trailer looked pretty good. Need something lighter after Breaking Bad.

Tonight if I have time I'll dig into the last season of Breaking Bad. No spoilers please!

We started watching the series after CEDIA in September, and we finished it last night.

No spoilers, but I'll just say this: Breaking Bad is one of the best-written TV shows we've seen. My wife and I think it's right there with our other all-time favorites, The X-Files, Sopranos, Deadwood, and Sons of Anarchy. Great multi-layered, believable characters, interesting plots and sub-plots, and it's all relatively believable.

Oh and the way they reach forward with the intros and flashback occasionally to fill in blanks is just so damn intriguing!

Breaking Bad is outstanding!

I'm watching movies all the time. My 808 is very stable, no need to adjust that often Smile Only problem i had was the horizontal line in the middle of the screen since i get the CRT for free from a friend. Now this is fixed, total mechanical setup FTW Smile

No im going to watch Elysium Smile Hopefully it's a good movie Wink

It's a pretty much leave your brain at the door movie but still a lot of fun. Probably one of the better comedies I've seen in the last year. There's been a lot of "meh" comedies that I could take or leave.

Agreed - One thing I find interesting is how they manage to get themselves out of the various predicaments that they get themselves into. There have been so many cases of "oh crap - they can't possibly get out of this one" type situations that they actually manage to pull off and do so in such a way that doesn't cause me to shake my head in disbelief.

The whole series is now out on Blu-ray too:

Everyone should buy it and help support the forum! Wink

I have goldeneye on DVD and some of the others I have moon raker on both VHS and DVD still looking for certain ones

The only one I don't have is the one mentioned in ar's post but given how my cousins sometimes borrow my movies who know they may have it and haven't returned it

Currently been tinkering around with my new dwin projector and can't get it to sync but that's for another thread
