I've liked all 3 JW films. The best part of 3 was the dogs. A well-trained dog is an amazing thing.

Final thoughts (this is merely my opinion, so take that it for what it is worth, which ain't much): Started out great but had too many filler episodes that did little to advance the story. Ending was great.

We watched this a couple of weeks ago, bottom-tier MCU for us. It was just kind of "boring", for lack of a better term.

I thought all the boys had dragons at this point?

I think it was kind of a "power move" to not do anything at the end. It's a bit of "I have you, you're toast if I choose, and there's nothing you can do about it". Probably a tactical error to not finish them as we know how the war plays out, but was a really cool scene regardless. Plus...

We caught this last night on D+. It was pretty good, mid-tier MCU for me.

May need to adjust it in your display menu, rather than AVR.

I read the first 4 when I grabbed a paperback set off Amazon, and the 5th came a couple of years later. Still waiting for the last two lol. The part about the same story being told from two different sides was an interesting concept, I didn't mind it. Obviously, there are certain characters I...

I thought it was a good first episode. Unless I'm mistaken, GRRM has only written the first of the planned 2 Fire and Blood history books. Kind of like we've been waiting years (and years) for the final two A Song of Ice and Fire books.

Yep, I run my center a little "hot" because I can't hear well at all. My vote would be a 2nd sub.

So, problem solved. The solution was to get rid of the sound bar. I put my old AVR and a L/C/R (Boston Acoustics CRC and CR75 bookshelves) in place, and the issue went away. I'm using the same digital optical cable from before. I must have been asking "too much" of the Cinema 400, but it was...

I would put the repair money towards a replacement AVR, personally.

Hi John - it's a 55. Unless I totally overlooked them, the only inputs I saw outside of the one connect box were a USB and an ethernet connection. I'll try to look again when I get home tonight.

I'd have to pull the TV off the mount to verify, but I think it only has the one connect option for inputs - I didn't see any stand-alone HDMI inputs because I remember sweating because I couldn't find the one connect cable after the move. Luckily, I found it. The PS5 is sending Dolby Atmos...

Just noticed an issue with my PS5 and my Samsung 8000 series TV. I'm getting what I would describe as "poor" sound on Blu-Ray movies from the PS5 to my Klipsche soundbar (Cinema 400). It almost sounds like a low-res MP3, very compressed sounding if that makes sense. The issue is not present...
