    New OSCARS Category: "Popular Film"

    Tino, The talk is just because the Oscars are now part of Hollywood's "politically correct" show. Reminds me of when MOONLIGHT won for 2017. There's NO WAY I can see this depressing film having won over films like LA LA LAND, HACKSAW BRIDGE, HELL OR HIGH WATER or ARRIVAL. Since my teenage...

    Deadpool 2 (2018)

    Saw it yesterday afternoon and enjoyed it. Unfortunately the novelty of the first film has worn off. If the first film had a rating of 10/10 for me, this one is around 7.5/10.

    Any Chance of 21st Anniversary HTF Meet in 2018?

    Even if a complex HTF meet cannot take place this year, I wonder if a smaller affair could be coordinated with a visit to 2-3 studios and a technology place with a smaller number of participants.

    Apple TV 4K official

    One problem I have with my AppleTV 4K is that it does not recognize 4K or HDR on my Samsung 4K UHD set. Don't know if the fact that I have the Apple TV going through my Yamaha Aventage RX-A2060 receiver first. It's supposed to pass through the 4k HDR signal. My OPPO 203 goes directly to the...
