RE: FHM film quotes quiz

I think No. 2 is from Top Gun when the tower controller tells Maverick not to do a fly-by right before he does a fly-by.

RE: LOTR: Two Towers seen on plane?

you are right it is on winmx, the plane story must be bullshit.

LOTR: Two Towers seen on plane?

A friend of mine reckons that his mate`s dad saw the two towers on a transatlantic flight from the US. His mate`s dad had the good sense to record the screening with a cam-corder and my mate saw this copy. I didn`t believe him but he seemed to know details of the story that he could not have known as he hasn`t read the trilogy. Obviously he could have obtained this info elsewhere (read the book). But i`ve known him for a long time and he doesn`t usually go in for this type of wind up. Unfortunately the copy of the film is in Southampton so i can`t verify it for myself. Anyone know if planes are regularly used for pre/test screenings?

RE: So what do you think of LOTR? Possible spoilers!

Now I`m worried, i`ve got the region 1 version of LOTR and it looks great. I`ve also got the extended version on pre-order in region 2. Should I be cancelling this and ordering the region 1? Just how bad is the region 2 version?

RE: Movietyme now shipping LOTR?

Got mine this morning from Movietyme. Its still as good if not better than i remember!

Futurama theme in new Coke ad

Does anyone know if the music in the new Coke ad (guy goes to the beach on his lawn mower) is the theme to Futurama slowed down?

RE: DVD`s in Dolby Digital on PS2

I got a coax to optical converter from Maplin to connect my Philips DVD622 to a Yamaha VS-10 about a 6 months ago. I`ve had no problems, it detects pro logic, DD 5.1 and DTS signals no prob. I assume the optical to coax would work equally well. Only problem is hiding the small box and that it takes up another socket.

Enron Auction

The now defunct Enron are auctioning all of the equpment at their London HQ. It includes the latest IT equipment, gym equipment, a 33ft maple veneer, walnut inlaid boardroom table (would look good in the kitchen) and a large number of plasma televisions which originally cost over £10,000 each. So if you`ve got a couple of grand burning a hole in your pocket might be worth a look.

RE: Philips DVD 622 Thanks but...

Cheers Adam, it didn`t crash when i entered the code. I managed to borrow a region 1 dvd from a mate and it worked fine. Now the only problem is what DVDs to buy....

BTW I used a one for all 4 digital urc-7541, £19.99 from Dixons, if anyones interested.

Philips DVD 622 Thanks but...

Just wanted to thank everyone on this site. As a DVD newbie I have found it an invaluable resource. Through the info i`ve read here, i purchased a Philips DVD622 at a knockdown price from John Lewis (display model) and followed the instructions to hack it, which i believe i accomplished. However i don`t actually own any region 1 DVDs yet and was wondering if there was some way to confirm my player was now multiregion before actually spending my cash.

TIA

Santi.
