Anyone else watching The Flight Attendant on HBO Max? It stars Kaley Cuoco. We just watched the first episode, but it was quite entertaining and it sets up a good mystery.
Hello all,
We recently moved into a new-to-us house, with a room off the foyer that the previous owners used as a theater room. I'm trying to decide how workable it is moving forward. If it can work, I'd like to make it work, because something is better than nothing. I'm looking for advice as I...
From the /Film article:
"Netflix plans to explore creating mobile-specific cuts of its original movies and TV shows, which could transform your experience based on the device you’re viewing it on. Is this the evolution of how we consume non-interactive narrative stories…or is this the pan and...
Anybody interested in seeing this? The early reviews have been a bit mixed (especially concerning the lead up to the actual high wire walk).
This is interesting and a potential warning to some...
So, Blindspot premiered last night, but I didn't see a thread for it. What did people think?
I enjoyed the pilot enough to give it a go and I'm glad to hear that the producers have a long-term plan.

"So maybe the reason why people seem to think visual effects are ruining movies isn’t really a problem with the visual effects. Maybe it’s a problem with the movies themselves."
This is a really good video piece by the folks at Rocket Jump Film School about the use of CGI in movies.

So the LCD screen on my Harmony One, which I loved, has stopped working. That tends to happen when your kid decides to stand on it. Evidently the screens for it aren't available either do I find myself looking for a new remote. I've looked at the Ultimate, but was unsure about the layout if it...
Hello all, I'm looking for a decent 32" display. It is not for home theater use, but I need fairly accurate color at a modest price. It will be used in an office setting.
Well, I've never had a problem like this, but today the light and camera on my iPhone 5s decided to stop working. It was a desperate situation and I broke my own rules and tried to run the 7.0.3 update wirelessly. This led to the phone locking up on a blue screen. I finally had to give up and...
Hello, I'd like recommendations for an inexpensive Blu-ray player. It will be a gift for my in-laws. They are not HT enthusiasts like most of us here nor do they have discerning eyes. I'm looking for something functional, reliable and pretty easy to use.
The 24-105L is a great all-around lens. I love it. And as far as the mkII, it may be out classed and 3.5 years old, but it can be used for a very long time to take wonderful pictures worthy of publication or giant fine art prints.

Should we start a draft/off-season thread? There are now rumors that Detroit is looking to acquire Baron Davis for Rasheed Wallace. I'm not sure what I think of this. Thoughts?
There has been some discussion of these programs recently in other threads and I have been trying to follow the discussion, but it has been hard to keep track. I thought it might be easier to discuss these two programs in their own thread. I am trying to decide between the two and am seeking...
I have for trade the Blu-ray of Talladega Nights. It is still sealed and it is the version that was included with the PS3. There are many HD DVDs or Blu-ray discs that I would accept for it.

Ok, I noticed an interesting problem last night and I am wondering if anyone else has run into it. I was watching Pirates of the Caribbean on my RCA player last night upconverted to 1080i when I noticed the color was shifting/cycling within scenes. It was slight and most noticeable on skin...
I just got the "Slippery When Wet" DualDisc and it will load, but will not play on my Pioneer DV-563A. I have never had any problems with DVD-Audio or SACD discs before. Any thoughts?

After getting lucky enough to find the Criterion version of Charade at Border's after months of looking (I had a gift card to use), I opened it tonight to watch with my wife. Imagine my dismay when it begin to stutter and pixelate at the very start of the movie. It seemed to get better for a...
