That sucks man Hopefully your exchange goes smoother than I’ve others have.

I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it or bother to watch it again but didn’t hate the first RIPD. You had to know that you were getting into a M.I.B. style flick where thinking isn’t required.

Huh? No cliffhangers? Season one ended with Thomas flipping a coin … and Campbell pointing a gun at Grace with a fade to black as we hear a gunshot. To be fair they did wrap-up the story lines of the missing guns and the Shelbys taking over the Kimber operation. That’s kind of my point about...

Well ... I think it's just fantastic that we live in a time where someone can hear "a bear ate some cocaine", think of some funny outcomes, and obtained millions of dollars to fund a movie about said idea. God bless us.

Ohhhhhh THAT's what all the Cocaine Bear references I've been seeing online are about.

I don't watch very many series because there ends up being too many plot lines involving a relatively small number characters that it just becomes too unbelievable. That said I binge watched season 1 of Peaky Blinders over the Thanksgiving weekend and I liked it a lot. Not sure my limited...

Rush I was hoping for a little more attention on the cars/racing. Instead it's a realistic portrayal of the rivalry between Hunt and Lauda which, TBH, doesn't come across as all that dramatic. The movie spends too much time driving the point that Lauda was an unfeeling machine and Hunt was a fun...

It's long, dubbed, and the photography is very good (if not particularly groundbreaking). It's still worth seeing.

Long Dubbed Very good photography if not particularly ground breaking Still worth watching.

That's what I'd expect. While the BD was superior on my aged 1080p equipment. I'm actually quite surprised how good the streaming video quality was.

You should just skip this one then. It's just like the first one only more so. Whatever turned you off about BP will be here just turned up.

I had similar experiences and TBH I'm still not a fan at all. I won't use it often. I suspect I'll find myself in the same pattern of streaming most of the time and occasionally renting at Redbox for not wanting to buy a disc at full retail, then buying at full retail for not wanting to deal...

I learned today RedBox also sells used copies of BDs for $5. While I still don't think I'll watch repeatedly it'd be worth the extra $2 to not bother returning it.

I remember when the lossless formats Dolby TrueHD and DTS Master were all the rage for BD movies. And yeah, there was a slight but noticeable improvement with them over the "lossy" formats. But much like the reduced PQ of streaming 1080p vs. a BD, I'm not sure it's enough to detract from the...

I don’t want to upgrade but only because I’m broke. Despite many assertions that 4K wouldn’t be perceptibly better on a 72“ or 65” screen I do believe that they’re better than what’s they replaced. I’d expect that to be even an more evident upgrade for my 12 year old projector. When mine was new...

Roku appears to support lossless audio but I’m seeing that 5.1 Dolby Digital Plus seems to be the default when streaming. I don’t think I’ve come across any titles with lossless audio. At least not on the services I use; Netflix, Disney, Amazon Prime. Some streaming titles show to have Atmos...

What’s everyone’s media of choice for movies? 4K discs? BD discs? Streaming? Does the preference change depending on the display (TV vs. projector) or screen size? I’m not one to re-watch movies so spending $20 or more on a disc was never all that appealing but it was the only real option back...

The other day I was watching a movie on my 12 year old 1080p projector. I’m still quite happy with it but started thinking about a logical upgrade path if/when the time comes. One challenge I can see with a USTP would be placement of the center channel speaker. Assuming the screen is on the...

It's been a very, very long time since I've fired up the HT. Fired the old girl up with a showing of Top Gun : Maverick. I dug it.

Ohhhhh ... Yeah. I was/am not a fan of the old color wheel DLP. I haven't consciously seen one in years so I dont know if they've improved in that regard, but back in the day I was extremely sensitive the "rainbow effect".
