I’m curious if others recieved this survey from the US Census? I received a card in the mail to go online to fill out a survey. I also received a paper copy as I didn’t go on-line right away to do it. I worked on it over the weekend and I felt some of the questions were invasive, such as yearly...

I wanted to start a thread to discuss the Star Trek series on physical media of the Paramount Plus/Kurtzman era. Each Paramount Plus series has its own thread, but it occurred to me while taking stock of the Blu ray and 4K sets I own now, I was surprised by a trend I found in the packaging. In...

I thought I’d post this here as it might not be of interest to many. This weekend was the Heritage Auction for the Greg Jein collection. Greg Jein was an Academy Awards nominated model maker and special effects technician known for building the mothership for Close Encounters of the Third Kind...

For the few who are interested, I’m seeing the ABC promos for the upcoming season. What’s interesting is the changes. The new host is Alfonso Ribeiro. There is an interesting symmetry here as Ted Bergeron was hosting the America’s Favorite Home Videos show and doing Dancing with the Stars...

Not sure anyone cares, they named Ryan Seacrest to replace Pat Sajak. I’m a little surprised. I guess being west coast based, it’s easier then when Ryan was doing Live with Kelly. This guy has enough to do though...

Guys, while I’m not in the market now, I have a friend who told me he looked into buying the Apple Studio Display and asked the Apple Store staff if they can change the stand out to a VESA mount. He said they could not answer that, they did not know. Then I did a little searching as I was...

Hey guys, I wanted to post a quick question about this weekend’s big motor sports events. As a little kid, every year I watched the Indy 500 on ABC broadcast before there was ever cable. And it was probably my teens when I discovered there was a race called the Monaco Grand Prix and that...

I just saw a story on ABC World News Tonjght about a man who had accumulated the actual sets from All In the Family, the bar from Cheers and Jeannie’s costume that Barbara Eden wore is selling his collection. He had hopes to create a museum to display the items, but he wasn’t able to get that...

Hey guys, I recently picked up a very used 30” Apple Cinema HD Display. It was in the e-waste bins at work! I saved it from the crusher. I have always wanted one of these, in my work as an industrial designer, I saw another designer who works in the film industry designing vehicles for films...

Hey guys, I know I may sound nuts, but how do you guys sterilize your mobile devices? Actually I know I’m nuts. Ever since the Pandemic hit, I’ve made a ritual of whenever I go out, and touch things and use my iPhone and MacBook Pro at work, when I get home, I use alcohol and a paper towel and...

Hi everyone, I was curious about the sound quality of recent remasters of Fleetwood Mac albums. As has been the trend recently of box sets of albums like Dark Side of The Moon and the Beatles albums, I read about new remasters of 1977’s Fleetwood Mac Rumours and the self titled album from...

Guys- With the sad news of Sidney Poitier’s passing, I was looking up his titles that are available on blu ray. I remember seeing The Defiant Ones as a little kid and it stuck with me. I’ve wanted to see it again but I never got around to getting it on disc. I see there is a region B blu ray...

Guys, nothing to really say except that it’s been annoying to be getting repeated calls from a local number claiming to be Apple on my iphone. I never picked up because it wasn’t a number I knew. The voicemail left said something about calling Apple at 312-232-8257 to talk to an Apple Support...

Hey guys- I seem to be in a TV series collecting bug! There’s a few series I’m considering to collect and I see they are from Warner Archive. And they are MOD. I don’t think I have many MOD discs from Warner. Though maybe I do, I bought many many movies via Amazon that are Warner Archive discs...

I saw the thread about the Criterion upcoming release of Merrily We Go To Hell and didn’t know Cary Grant was in the cast. It reminded me of other Cary Grant titles still not on HD. A title I thought is still pretty popular is Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House. I took a look at the Warner...

Hey guys- I was thinking about these two shows suddenly. I did a search and did not find any posts about some recent complete series sets for The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show and Underdog. The later being from Shout and Bullwinkle from Universal. I grew up on these cartoons. I hadn’t really had...

i was thinking about a few Jodie Foster titles I like such as Contact since the news of the Arecibo radio antenna collapsed last week. I have Contact on blu ray, but I wondered if that might ever be re-released as a 4K disc. Then I went looking for Panic Room on blu ray and I see that title was...

I plan to pre-order an iPhone 12 Pro. Likely the white version with regular stainless steel sides. And I’ll max out the memory. I’ll likely keep the iPhone 12 Pro for three years, so why not max it. I was torn about which size iPhone 12 Pro or Pro Max to order, so I decided to draw up the...

Syd Mead is probably not a known name to many but his work is seen in films like Blade Runner, Tron, 2010 The Year We Make Contact and Aliens. I just read that he died. When I was in college studying industrial design, Syd Mead was a one of the designers we looked up to. He started as a...

i got an email notice of replies to a thread I’m subscribing to. When I clicked the link, I got a page called Dev.hometheaterforum.com where I had to enter my name and password. My password did not work. Is there a new separate walled off section to the HTF? Or was this Phishing spam? thanks...

I got an exciting email from La La Land Records that the original 1935 Franz Waxman score for Bride of Frankenstein is released today. First time in any format. Though the score is not complete due to missing elements, this is still exciting. I’ve been listening to a re-recording that’s well...

Wow, I got a phone call from Apple Inc on my iPhone. It said that my iCloud account has been breached. I hung up but I think it said I can talk to a rep to discuss what needs to be done about my account. I was pretty sure it was a scam and I thought, why should Apple call me? I looked it up and...

Hey guys and Neil S Bulk too if you’re around- I’ve seen that there is a 3CD set of Superman The Movie soundtrack at La La Land Records. There’s also a Superman 2 and 3 soundtrack set and Superman 4 from La La Land. What I’m trying to understand is the difference from the earlier Film Score...
