    What happened to THX?

    Has anyone noticed the THX logo (with the awesome crescendoing sound) never appears at the beginning of new movies anymore?

    Not that new movies are any good, but that's besides the point. It seems new movies try to compete with each other over who can get more ****ing product placement in them.

    I haven't heard THX mentioned at all for the past 2-3 years. What happened?

    The THX founder (Tom Holman I think?) he moved along and started a new company
    http://www.tmhlabs.com/

    he's basically designing a 10.2 system..

    Plus THX was really made for Star Wars =P

    10.2 system is overkill!

    And THX was a useless technology. Apparently you need to get an engineer in to adjust your furniture to make full use of it.

    Here, turn up your pathetic little systems. http://www.waveevents.com/MyFilez/wavs/variety/thx.wav
    Most people think,
    Great God will come from the skies,
    Take away everything
    And make everybody feel high.
    But if you know what life is worth,
    You will look for yours on earth:
    And now you see the light,
    You stand up for your rights. jah!
