Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater "The Two Towers" DVD

I just borrowed a copy of the two towers from my friend who was lucky enough to some how get one of the copys that the movie studio sends out to the academy awards reviewers. This is a great soundtrack. The copy does have Dolby EX soundtrack, improperly flagged ovcourse. Hopefully it will be corrected on the DVD that comes out next month. This dolby track seems to be on par with the fellowship soundtrack. The diferrances I noticed were 1. Way way way more souround usage on the two towers sound track. My Qs8's were constantly active. 2. Great LFE but not quite the equal of the first movie. These are my first impressions, I'm going to watch it again tonight and see if I notice anything else.

I have TTT dvd also and it looks and sounds excellent. I can't wait for the extended one later this year.

Where do you guys get these things so early?


HOOK US UP, MAN!!!

Welcome to the WWW, Ravi.

Downtown Chinatown in Montreal should have it.

I actually got mine sent to me by the academy. And even though it's incredible, I'm still buying a copy when it's released in a few months from now, just so I can have all the other special features, etc., that go along with the purchased copy.

Just curious, but what do you do that has you being a member of the academy?

I work in TV development and programming for a studio here in LA and I get all sorts of submission for things like Emmy voting, etc. because I'm a member of the academy. I just happended to get lucky that a buddy of mine who works directly at the academy got me on the list for feature submissions, opposed to just TV submissions. So with that said, I get the best of both worlds.

That's cool. By the way, your Bull is a pimp.

I rewatch TTT last night and the quality of the video is not that good on my HTPC. So I popped in my copy of Lara Croft just to see if its my soft DVD player. And Angelina Jolie still looks crisp, clean, and babeliciuos. Love those lips.
