tl;dr version: Loved it. Longer version: I know most folks weren't waiting on yet another Toy Story movie- TS3 seemed to wrap things up quite nicely. I don't know that we needed to know where Bo Peep went. Thing is, the entire TS series has been about Woody and his own journey of maturity- from...

The Xbox One X supports Atmos, but not all games do (not sure about the One S). As far as streaming Atmos, I know it's theoretically possible, but I never saw it with Netflix (granted, we never used it much so we canceled it), but hopefully there will be more availability as time goes on.

RIP. He played a role that millions and millions remember fondly, and yet most of us never saw his face. Or heard his voice.

Ultimately, the only claim to the throne that matters is the army that keeps you there. That's now things went from Targaryens to Baratheon. Gendry doesn't have an army. Cersei does. Daenerys does. John Snow could step in there with her, but who knows how that's going to pan out. Right now...

As the bastard of Robert Baratheon, he theoretically could. Thing is, he's never been legitimized, so it's not all that great a claim.

They certainly can vote with their dollars. And they can critique all they like as well. If the artist has freedom of speech to create, others have freedom of speech to voice their opinion. Art is not above reproach or commentary.

Art is a form of communication. If the artist cannot manage to convey meaning to the audience, then it’s nothing but a private form of art. And this is broadcast on HBO. Made for broadcast, as a matter of fact. There are characters, plot, all those things. The whole point of it is to tell a...

Yeah. It made me wonder if he understands how people consume media these days or if he thinks he's the only one who watches. As a communicator (and one who teaches same in undergrad), it is incumbent upon the person providing the communication to ensure it will be understood and comprehended...

He may be right about people not tuning their sets properly or watching it as it is "intended" to be seen. YET, if he knows this (and I fail to see how he couldn't have known this beforehand), it's all on him anyway. If you know people will receive a given communication a certain way and that...

You can find guys who do in-wall wire runs- if you want it done right, quickly, and to not worry about it, it might be worth the money. We found one through a network outsourcing company we used in the office.

Ha. It was part of a complete speaker upgrade. Luckily for me, this was in the basement and two whole walls of my theater are accessible from the unfinished side. Running the speaker wires for the ceiling was as simple as just using a long enough stick to run them between the joists. Making sure...

They do make some in-ceiling speakers that have slanted/tiltable portions to beam things in the right direction. But yeah, wiring it will be a pain.

I've always been a fan of Denon, even over Yamaha. IMO, either one is rather better than Onkyo. When I upgraded to Atmos (the thread about it is on here somewhere) I went with Marantz- it's a sister unit to the Denon and from Accessories4Less the price was excellent. My only complaint about the...

Yeah, that would get me to move out into the country rather quickly. Not that I don't like suburban living, but the ability to move out a bit and have some room would be lovely.

That's good to hear. I have no problem believing the news stories are not giving the full story (do they ever?). If they can also utilize the VHF bands for this it would indeed give what is needed to get out to more rural places (at the cost of some bandwidth- lower freqs can't transmit as much...

This. It's already a better game viewing experience to sit at home and watch it in HD with surround sound. But people pay for tickets, go downtown, and risk getting shot (remember, I'm in STL) because there's something special about watching it with 40,000 of your closest friends.

I hope this is the case. You know this far better than I do, so I am not a complete skeptic. Yet, I notice that even here in the suburbs I don't always have 4G LTE connection speeds. I read that 5G is likely only to be rolled out in major population centers because the frequencies don't have the...

At the moment about the only 4K content that's widely available is either streamed or via disc. I quit paying attention to DirecTV's 4K capability because it was so limited (I check back every 4-6 months and that never changes). My local cable company's view of 4K is along the lines of LOLWUT...

We're still enjoying it. It's fun, and while Seth may not be a great actor, he's no worse than in many other TV shows.

No argument. But if they can undercut competitors to grab market share because they're more efficient at production, that is also exceedingly common. We call it competition, you lovely capitalist, you. I agree that this is probably an introductory rate, but it does look like Disney wants to...
