Who Will Be The Next James Bond? - The buzz in Hollywood this summer is who will be the next James Bond? Pierce Brosnan has reportedly announced that he�s dropping out of the role, partly because of dissatisfaction with the last couple of 007 outings. And who could blame him? Eon Productions, the company that owns the rights, has shown very little inclination since Brosnan�s first two Bond movies to re-imagine the British secret agent for contemporary audiences..

Enter today at Revolution Home Theater...! http://www.revolutionhometheater.com/rhtcontest Ever wonder what happens to your A/V system when the lights dim? Mere conditioners and filters can't fix that. When the incoming power is degraded by low voltage and a dirty sinewave, it's like putting 74 octane gas into a high performance engine. Suddenly, the performance you expected and paid for is gone. To solve that problem, you need perfect power. Only ExactPower's EP15A Precision Voltage Regulation and Waveform Correction system delivers 120 perfect volts on a pristine 60Hz sinewave, with up to 1500 watts on demand to 8 outlets on the rear panel for dramatically improved audio and video performance.

That�s Bryan Adams with a B. This is Ryan, and as I hear it, he hates being called Bryan Adams as one fan at a concert who shouted out his request to hear Bryan Adams� ode to yesteryear quickly realized. As widely reported on the Internet, Ryan ordered the lights turned up, pulled out $28 (he obviously didn�t factor in Ticket Master�s �convenience fee�) to refund the guy his money and ordered him to leave, saying he wouldn�t play another note until the audience member vacated the premises. The venue�s GM grabbed the guy on his way out the door and apologized, allowing him to stay. Oh, yeah � the guy kept the $28 bucks. Too bad, Ryan could have used that money for singing lessons. That�s right, I said it. This guy can�t sing worth a lick, nor can he seem to pick a vocal styling and stick to it. On track 9, �SYLVIA PLATH� (his capitalization, not mine), he sounds like Adam Sandler, except not funny.

Sure, there are wins for makeup and special effects and once in awhile production design, and there is the occasional nomination for Best Director or even Best Picture, but victory is rare. So when a movie that is pretty much the epitome of epic fantasy like �Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King� wins 11 Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay (and, for audiophiles, Best Sound, Best Score by Howard Shore and Best Song), it means that a lot of tough skeptics were won over � which in turn means that, yes, this is a terrific movie. In fact, �Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King� is one of the best movies ever made, in the fantasy genre, the epic genre and/or any other genre (the Oscars are a great acknowledgement, but lack of awards wouldn�t change the film�s quality).
