Mr. & Mrs. Smith. I didn’t watch the 2005 movie, so I have nothing to compare to. But this is odd. I’ve watched the first two episodes and I’m not sure I’ll continue. It’s intensely awkward: the story is grounded on the discomfit of two people who don’t know each other and are both now married...

https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/218961-drops-of-god I heard somewhere that Drops of God is the best TV show no one has heard of. I finally got space and opportunity to watch it with my wife. We're halfway through and it's a fascinating story. It has a significant plotting misstep in episode two...

I built my theater in 2016. I upgraded to 4K in 2022. 2024 - 2025 I’m thinking of doing a variety of minor and major upgrades. I had a home theater consultant out last night, and we spent 90 minutes discussing my theater, my roster of desired tweaks, my longstanding frustrations, and interest...

The Diplomat was on my watch list when I first heard about it last year, starring Keri Russel and Rufus Sewell. But as it goes, I’ve only now started watching. And halfway through the first episode I was hooked. This has aspects of what made The West Wing and The Good Wife and The Americans...

Blocks of text randomly change, delete, rearrange, and restore while typing. I see this on my iPad. I think others like @Ronald Epstein have experienced this too. I don’t think it‘s an iOS autocorrect behavior because I don’t see this only in HTF’s text editor. I’ve experienced this the past...

I drive a 2016 Subaru Legacy. My biggest complaint is it doesn’t have Apple CarPlay. It’s a model year too early. I’m thinking about replacing the stereo head unit with an aftermarket unit to add CarPlay. Has anyone researched this and got a recommendation for the best unit? I’m looking at the...

Get the price under $10,000 and I’m seriously looking at direct view re-work of my theater in a couple years. I could probably tolerate dropping down from 120” for all the benefits. The real challenge are my LCR speakers...

A light fixture catastophically failed and the electrical noise killed my bedroom TV. It was an LG 49" LCD from 2020 and fit exactly in my bedroom hutch. The hutch is 43.25" wide. That 49" fits precisely. Unfortunately it LG seems to have killed the 49" class and gone to 50", which are 44" wide...

The past month or two, I’m hearing intermittent popping from my 2 year old SVS SB3000 subwoofers. But I haven’t contacted SVS yet because I’m not yet sure if it’s the subwoofers specifically, or something else. Including possibly my pre-pro (really hope not!). I’m hoping there are some ideas on...

Extrapolations (2023) is a new AppleTV+ show extrapolating the future of our world, societies, politics, personal lives assuming a global temperature increase of 2º by 2037. Based on watching the first two episodes, it’s a semi-anthology: each episode is set further along in the timeline (2037...

Rian Johnson’s Poker Face starring Natasha Lyonne (Russian Doll) debuted tonight. The first four episodes are out on Peacock+. I watched the first episode. I had expectations, and this show met none of them, aside from giving me quality Lyonne. I‘d imagined Poker Face as being a...

Does anyone use the GeForce Now service for gaming? There were some hands-on articles about it this week, and it hit me that this might fit me well. I’m kinda getting in the mood for more gaming this year. And I’m interested in current high end graphics games. But I don’t want to spend for a...
