Watched this streaming on Max this weekend. Trailer made it sound like it would be quirky comedy and it did have some very funny moments. But honestly by the end it was leaning closer to a closet horror movie with some very dark imagery and very different tone. Then I saw that it was an A24...

Can't decide if I hate the idea of remaking this movie or not. Leaning towards hating it. Maybe as much as the pointless Oldboy remake. Some things should just be left alone.

Got tickets for opening night IMAX 2D showing of new Legendary Godzilla/Kong flick. Not sure if I am as excited about it as I might otherwise be after binge watching Toho's Minus One. Kinda half heartedly not so enthusiastic. The bar has been raised.

Heck yes!!!! Take that Tom Cruise.

Anyone else have mixed results with extracting proper discreet 5.1 audio from an Amazon Fire Stick? Depending on the system config sometimes I end up with down converted PCM 2.0. I am assuming it's the TV's fault which is neutering the sound as it passes through and out the TV's optical output...

Watched this caveman horror flick this weekend it had some degree of successful sense of dread and a decent creepy musical score, but overall it was just hard to look past the clean shaven actors looking totally out of place in the intended setting and the story just kinda loafed along to a...

I have been trying to find YouTube content that has no ads (rare but does exist)... so I have something... anything... to watch without ads on the treadmill in the morning. One thing I found by accident are the John Oliver HBO show segments which seem to have zero ads. And a few others I can't...

I have well over 5000 movies on disc (DVD & BluRay) honestly I have lost count. And that's not counting laser discs which (while nostalgic and a hefty investment back in the day) will probably never get watched again. So they just sit in storage maybe someday I will take them target shooting. Or...

This is a big part of why I hung on to my physical media collection. Monetizing my each and every viewing with forced ads is just not something I am interested in. Life is too short.

Funny you should mention this we hit Barnes & Noble last weekend and I bought seven books... all ad free. I (also) have a hard time watching anything with ads.

Finished season four of True Detective with Jodi Foster. Liked it much better than previous season three… it was mercifully shorter and while still a somewhat slow burn… far more compelling IMO and moved along at a much more tolerable pace. When it ended I was then compelled to rewatch Wind...

Bump: A little silly maybe but they do seem to have done a halfway decent job with the general style and look of things. I'll probably go see it.

When my trusty Panasonic plasma finally dies someday (hopefully not anytime soon) I have a 92" fixed screen with a nice frame in storage and will make the move to a front projector. So it will be a big size upgrade for me the plasma is only a 60". It's a dedicated movie room we don't watch much...

Mild Spoiler Alert nothing major just mentioning a particular scene... Watched Minus One/Minus Color in an XD theater with my son... my second viewing Minus Color. Was initially disappointed with quality of black and white transfer upon first/previous viewing in smaller local theater. But glad...

Bump: Watched Dunkirk bluray last night with DTS-Master HD encoding and it had zero issues with rear channel distortion so I am thinking (and thankful) that this is probably a disc specific software issue and not anything wrong with my processor. But I will continue to be careful with SPL levels...

This looks amazing thanks.

Can't blame you if I didn't need to kill time on the treadmill I probably would never have finished it.

Jomari... have you watched Season Three? If yes then read on I have some confusion about the ending and maybe some issues with some of the reviews and complaints that I believe may have gotten it wrong.

Seems like late 2024 is the word although no official release date yet. Maybe the will get it out sooner to capitalize on the buzz around the theatrical release.

US limited release date for Godzilla Minus One, Minus Color is Friday, January 26th looks like it will only run for one week in theaters. Scored dead center tickets for Friday opening night and again the following Tuesday night so I can take my son. That will make a total of six theatrical...
