That is the one I wanted you to see first, before you did the blind buy to see how the writer done, how the movie flows, some fantastic Visual and audio.

Yup, she was in Sarah Conner Chron. She is another reason I have watched Razor so many times, I love her accent... lol

The Scorpion shipyard battle was one of my top five favorite scenes from the whole series. I'm not sure where you are now, but there are a few more I really liked. They did some damn good CGI for a TV series on a small network.

"Ya scared mutha fracker".... lol

Also, you haven't mentioned, but you did recognize Admiral Kane is from a few of the Star Trek series

Razor is my favorite episode (movie) of the series I've seen so far. I'm at the end of season two. What ever episodes are left after the Captain's Hand. I think it's a 2-parter.

Yeah, I love the Aussie chicks accent too. She's a Razor.;)

The whole movie was really well done. The CGI was top notch for a tv show. In fact, it's better than some movies with a bigger budget. And again, the old school Centurions were too cool.

I knew I'd seen Admiral Kane before, but couldn't place her. It was driving me nuts. Now I know. Thanks.:)

Ya can't beat a good 911 commercial. The Jimmy Johnson Extenze ads are quality too.:D

You did a "blind buy" on that one? I'd heard/read mostly negative reviews on it; should've asked me :shrug:

;) :p :giggle:

Hope it wasn't too much, but I'm guessing $12.99-14.99 (+ tax) ? :ohnoes: :(

Did the same BB trade in, $14.99. The wife and I saw it in the theater and she requested it when it came out on Blu-ray. Not my favorite movie but I like the techno sound track. Worth it for us, especially at the sale price.

$15 isn't too bad really, esp if you like the movie. (wait - "CONTAGION" had a Techno sound track?!) :eek: :confused:

I thought you referenced the reviews. This is from highdefdigest.com;
"The audio is great too. First thing you'll notice about the DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track is the weighty presence of Cliff Martinez's techno-inspired soundtrack which thumps along adding much needed suspense to the visuals on screen."

Phew!!! Finally!!! I knew you could afford it, but you have know idea how long it's been bothering me knowing I talked someone into doing such an expensive blind buy and not knowing they fully appreciated it.

I knew you liked the series, but now that I know you like everything so far, seems to have topped it off.

The series has had a nice replay value for me, and especially Razor. I talked about that one more then the rest.

Not to give anything away, but you will see more of the old school Centurions.. :)

I used to eat a lot more cheeseburgers before I got diagnosed with diabetes. Been to Roswell, never seen any aliens there but you never know. Lakers 11-9 now, after losing to the Bucks. :ohnoes:

The Centurions in Battlestar Galactica. He was surprised that they had the old models in one of episode from the new series.

It's all good, sir Hampness. Even if I didn't like it, I wouldn't blame you for a purchase I made. But that's all moot, because I do like it.:rock:

More old school Centurions?!?! Spoiler alert!:eek:

You've been to Roswell? Way cool. I'd love to take my kids there, just for shoots & giggles.http://planetsmilies.net/alien-smiley-128.gif But I'd have a green chili cheeseburger.:ahh:

Hey Mikey!:rock:

What's going on, man?

Lol. They remind me of Captain Planet. Remember that old cartoon?:D

What's up Wabo?

Did you listen to any other JL subs when you where buying yours?

I'm starting to plan another sub purchase later this year and am debating whether or not to go with something tighter sounding than the SubM. From what I've been reading that's pretty much going to leave my choice's to either JL or some type of TC Sounds driver based sub. The F212 has caught my eye from the JL lineup.

Yes Aero I should have asked you or read the review before buying the movie. :o The only saving grace is the soundtrack. I like Techno music so that was fun to listen to on my Quad sub system but the music only was featured in 3 or 4 spots in the movie. I will watch the movie again but I will not recommend it to others. BTW 14.99 with DVD coupon.

Hi Aces.

Way cool on adding another sub. Didn't you just get a new AVR too? Rock on, my friend!

I only auditioned the f113. The only other subs I would have liked were the f212 or the mighty Gotham. Which was/is way out of my price range. Since I was buying two subs at once, I couldn't swing two f212's either, so I decided not to tempt myself. Because when it comes to audio temptation, I'm weak.

What's happening today?

I got Columbiana in the mail from Blockbuster. Have you seen it? Any good?

Definitely only worth a rent for me but YMMV. I'm counting the days, 3, until my parts come for my new Pro-ject TT. Now I just need to remember what box the albums are in :D.

Wabo, did you watch Columbiana?

Hey, b-man.

I haven't had a chance to watch it yet. I'm trying to catch up on all my DVR'd shows.
