Excellent.

I would like to scan all of you in this room, one at a time. I must remind you that the scanning experience is usually a painful one... sometimes resulting in nosebleeds, earaches, stomach cramps, nausea. Sometimes other symptoms of a similar nature. There is a doctor present, Dr. Gattineau. I know that you've all been prepared for this, but I thought I'd just remind you just the same. There is one other thing... no one is to leave this room.
hmm sounds familiar....

Attempted to watch The Conjuring at an early showing in the cinema but the cinema was full of secondary school kids talking loud as fuck so bad I can't hear the film, their phones going off, making stupid noises, fucking about in their seats, laughing at nothing, dropping their shit everywhere, going "oooh" when the guy kisses his wife etc. that I stormed out halfway through and shouted at the lobby staff until I got my money back

Going in for attempt two at a better (also more expensive) cinema on a late showing on Friday hoping it will keep these idiots away for round two.

Don't bother, it's pretty shit.
See Pacific Rim or Elysium instead.

Pacific Rim isn't in the cinema here any more. Don't think it did too well. Couldn't convince anyone to go see it with me which sucks as I wanted to see it.

Also the bit I saw of the conjuring was cool. It had a 1970s haunting based horror vibe which I like

It's unfortunately just a bunch of jump scares, I was hyped for it too since it reminded me of the original Amittyville Horror (coincidence that the Warren's did both cases) there's R5 torrents floating around of it.

Fuck torrents. I can't stand watching shit on my laptop also hate waiting for downloads. Want to watch it in the cinema regardless. Especially given that loads of proper horror fans who I follow and tend to agree with have given it good reviews so I'm still fairly sure it's gotta be at least a litle good. It looks and sounds nice enough I want the cinema experience too and even if it does turn out to be a bit average I'd probably enjoy it a lot more in a cinema (at a showing not full of stnuc) than sit at home with headphones or my monitors on looking at my small ass laptop screen

Heh sometimes I forget people don't have a PC setup like mine and use just a laptop.
Have a 24" and 23" widescreen both 1080p and since I produce my monitors for sound, or I can just run it to my TV.

If it's got a scart socket then you can attach an hdmi. Or is it suuuuuper oldskool - just the aerial socket?

Much better than I was expecting. Genuinely had me in stitches a couple of times.

You can go HDMI to scart? Wouldn't that require some sort of expensive converter or something?

Well, I suppose it depends on what you consider expensive, but yeah.

I picked up one of these recently. Really, really useful and, for what it does, inexpensive (imo) at £23

But what would that output at? 480P?
Wouldnt you have to change the laptops resolution to 640x480 for the tv to be able to deal with it?

Cant say Ive ever heard of a hdmi to scart, sounds abit mad considering you can get a hmdi tv for about £70 these days.

Edit: so you run your laptop, via HDMI into the box> the box then scales down the image to output at whatever level you outgoing connection is?

Hmm looks cool

Could you actually plug in something with an HDMI cable into it then have it come out into the telly via scart then? Just my PS3's HDMI out works but not the normal socket to plug into my tv and I don't want to buy a new tv or pay to fix the ps3

Errrrrr. yes?
For all I know the box is just a house for a little wizard that casts a conversion spell

Yes to the first part but i'm not quite sure how playing a game would work. It comes up with a little menu/browser thing (photos, music, films) but there may be an option to circumvent that. I'm not sure coz i've never tried.
