The Best 19 Movies You Didn't See in 2007

The Best 19 Movies You Didn't See in 2007

No one really has enough time (or money) to see every movie released every year, but shamefully too many great films are left in the dust. Sure, maybe you'll see a couple of those indies that are making the rounds on the year-end top ten lists, but even those critics missed a few good ones. This is about those movies that were phenomenal yet hardly anyone saw, so now we're giving them one final moment in the spotlight. I want to encourage you to maybe stop and ponder the next time you come across one of these and wonder why you didn't catch one in theaters - because they were worth that ticket price, guaranteed. If anything, you'll at least discover something new and something great from this list.

Designing FiringSquad’s Reference Home Theaters

Designing
FiringSquad’s Reference Home Theaters
Building a home theater is no different than building a custom
computer. Just as you can buy a complete PC from HP starting for a
couple hundred or a Blackbird 002 for a couple grand, you can certainly
save time by going with a pre-packaged home-theater-in-a-box (HTIB).
HTIBs aren’t synonymous with budget-quality performance either. While
Wal-Mart’s $59.87 “5.1 Durabrand Home Theater System” won’t bring the
full movie theater experience home, I’m sure it’ll outperform the
speakers on the $300 TV it is probably going to be used with. Likewise,
there is probably no better premium pre-packaged HTIB solution than the
JBL Synthesis line, which starts at $15,000 for an entry-level setup,
sufficient to provide reference quality movie experience in the home,
to the Synthesis Everest, retailing at over $200,000 and featuring four
18” subs, and 800 watts per channel into 11 speakers.

Here's a much more useful article for anyone who actually wants to setup a great HT. My version's also going to be much shorter and based on much better research, since I actually occasionally work as an independant HT consultant to help people out:

1. For speakers go to Ascend Acoustics. The 170's are great, if you have a small room, go ahead and get the even smaller ones. Buy them w/the mounting bracket and aim 'em all towards the center of the "sweet spot" you want in your room. $1200 w/shipping and brackets.

Recomendador de libros

Un sitio en el que indicas los libros que más te gustan, y automáticamente te indica otros libros que te puedan gustar (del mismo u otros géneros).

Las tecnologías colaborativas de recomendación de libros y películas funcionan sorprendentemente bien. Se basan en encontrar a la gente que más coincide con los libros que has indicado. Ya conocía el recomendador de películas FilmAffinity; este de libros puede venir muy bien ahora que no se qué leer.
