I have a small local ISP and a municipal shared fiber network here - my ISP does have bandwidth caps per tier for normal residential service but I've been using 1 gig up/down for several years and I never reached the 1.2 TB per month throttle threshold. They offer 10 Gbit symmetric service but...

At that price and with no stated space constraints, I can highly recommend a pair of Hsu VTF-15h mk2 subs. They are tremendous value, hit very hard and go quite low. Granted I'm biased as that's what I'm currently running, but in all fairness I had the first one for about 7 years before adding...

ah good catch, you're absolutely right - I must have not looked at the picture. In that case, he'll need something that can take the audio out signal either from the optical jack or the pair of RCA outputs, then transmit it over bluetooth.

Just popping in to say that this was thus far the best comic book movie I've ever seen - by a huge margin. It made me feel like I was reliving the last 3 decades somehow all at once and while not perfect - clearly knocked it out of the park. I'll still keep dreaming for a day when Marvel has...

the audio out jack for PC is what you would use. It's a typical headphone 3.5mm stereo mini jack. You then buy a cheap 3.5mm stereo mini jack bluetooth adapter and plug that into the TV - then sync your headphones to it.

Do I need to watch the older movie or read the books to understand this movie? I watched it once so far but didn't gather a lot of what was going on or who various characters/groups were with zero background.

that's true - as is often the case many of the 'news' articles first announcing Eden's casting focused more on their desired pronoun use and a 'hope' that Ed would be changed to a gender-ambiguous character. Not addressing any of the socio-political topics, but I do get annoyed when Hollywood...

makes me wonder if you saw a different film with the same title :biggrin: I don't remember her jokes at all, but thought that the friend and Paul Rudd's character were by far the most funny. The whole film felt like a love letter to the original.

I grew up with the anime so this has been very iffy for me. To be upfront, most of the casting choices didn't seem to fit the source material and despite news outlets claiming that disappointment with Daniella Pineda were over her not showing enough skin - that wasn't exactly the issue from my...

Definitely need a subwoofer. On a ~ $1000 budget for just that I might see what you have locally used - my own experience with home theater stuff over the last 25ish years has been that magazine recommendations are not a good metric. They often mislead folks to think that a 'large' subwoofer is...

I saw this alone in a mostly empty theater Sunday afternoon. As a kid who grew up watching the originals on VHS I was concerned that this sequel might be butchering things. To be fair, I never watched the 2016 'reboot' because the trailer looked terrible by my tastes. As for Afterlife... as...

funny you mention that - earlier this year I finally picked up a physical copy of of the collectors edition from around the turn of the century.

that's what I was afraid of. the intro was pretty cool, then the rest (I still have about 20 mins remaining) was terrible. I guess I'll just suffer another 20 minutes to finish it off. Glutton for punishment or something...

I was about to post asking if I should try to force myself to finish watching this - streamed part of it 2 nights ago, another 30 mins or so last night but it's been painful. Most likely looking at this from a nostalgia lens of the 1995 movie but I actually still like that original movie a lot...
