Collecting DVD's. I have a killer Home Theatre Sound System featuring a Denon HDMI reciever w/iPod dock (the 2807), B&W speakers, dual Velodyne subwoofers, Sony LCD widescreen, LG BH100 Blu-Ray/HD-DVD combo (awesome!).Latest DVDs I've picked up, HD-DVD "The Bourne Ultimatum", Blu-ray "Blade Runner"; Blu-ray "Live Free, Die Hard"; Blu-ray "Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer"; HD-DVD "Transformers".If you want to see a funny movie, rent an old movie by Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez called "Four Rooms". Check out the last scene featuring Quentin, Jennifer Beales, Tim Roth, Bruce Willis and Paul Calderon. It will have you crying!
