In the last week or so my wife and I watched: One Battle After Another (crazy, weird, funny as hell, really well done and somehow touching...it was really good) Eddington (starts off slower than OBAA, but crazier, weirder, funnier in some spots, really well done...it was really good) Anora (the...

I think technically all Costco models are exclusive. But are just restamped "other" models.

MobLand on Paramount+ Andor Season 2 was some of the best TV around and possibly the best thing out of Star Wars since the original. The Creator (from the director of Rogue One). Missed it a couple years ago...pretty good movie. Not great...but pretty good.

I'm late...but i would have recommended a TCL TV and would have come in way under budget. And then add a Roku Ultra or something similar. The Roku interface is my favorite

The Samsung earbuds are pretty good, noise cancelling and have 3 sizes of the ear canal thingys. I think various versions are under $150 these days.

Don't worry, I saw the original in the theater. Only referring to any of the AvP stuff that I haven't seen and am not at all familiar with.

Should I see the previous Alien/Predator mashups before this? Somehow I've seen none of them.

Happened to see that a remastered version of the game was recently released (from 2006!). I have to say...that is the game I played the absolute most online. I lost my job in early 2007 and for 4 months...my wife would go to work and...I'd be head stomping COGs and Chainsawing the Locust...

Exactly what I'm looking for. Did you get 6lb or 8lb? 1", 2" or 4" rockwool?

Anyone have a link to somewhat recent DIY Acoustic Panels? and/or where I can buy some that aren't tooooo expensive? and/or...how to determine where to put acoustic panels? I remember these threads from a LONG time ago, but don't remember anything

I thought a TV was a retirement gift to self?!

It was the very definition of a "popcorn flick". I loved watching it. But, thinking about it? No. I loved it as an experience (visual/aural) and my 7 year old loved it as a 7 year old (who is now 17 and wants to see Ares also) I'll be going to see it, hopefully in Cinemark XD soon (very busy...

I assume post-covid costs have made it worse. But my normal assumption is that if you have the know-how and the tools, you'll make it better than the stuff that is cheaper to buy. I was going to use the plans from this if my free table legs didn't work out: Bear Mountain Builds Dining Table...

The general standard is Gorilla Gaming folding metal legs which are $250 Or some people build some quality legs themselves. I had some free downloaded plans which I found after I got the dining table. If the dining table legs were wobbly, I would have went with the plans...but honestly, they...

Found a free dining table on Craigslist and threw the top out.
