    The Marvels (2023)

    In neither poster does Ms Marvel look anything like Iman Vellani.

    The Flash (2023)

    As Michael Keaton's Bruce Wayne explained it, making a change creates a nexus point, so all events after and before will change. He illustrated that by crossing two strands of dry pasta. Changing the changed the outcome in the present but also changed the timestream leading up to the present...

    The Flash (2023)

    Saw the movie again on streaming last night. It was even better the second time around, and I was able to rope my daughter into watching it with me. A lot of the jokes landed even harder, and the goofiness worked for me. It baffles me that the movie is getting so much hate online. I appreciate...

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (2022) - Season 2

    :rolling-smiley: My wife and kids were in the bedrooms down the hall and could hear it. They implored me to turn it down when they discovered it was SNW and not some sort of electronics malfunction They had to have that moment where Pike does not possess his memories and then snaps back to...

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (2022) - Season 2

    Consider that you are the combination of one singular spermatozoa and one ovum. Even if someone were go back in time to prevent the moment you were conceived by even a few seconds, and you aren't you anymore because the sperm would be different, so you're something closer than a brother but not...

    The Flash (2023)

    I had a total blast watching the Flash. I consider Flashpoint Paradox the best animated super hero movie, and while the bones are still there, they did change around enough things to make it unpredictable. I laughed my ass of quite a bit, and I enjoyed all of the set pieces. I understand the CGI...

    The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

    I am many dozens of hours in TotK, and probably like 20% complete. I finally upgraded my battery so I can now build vehicles that travel for more than 5 seconds. But I still haven't done anything complicated or cool yet. After shaking off the early stages where you die (a lot) and feel like...

    The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

    I have been playing BotW for so long and logged like 400 hours, so I know that game inside out. I have restarted multiple times and can zip through a lot of the game with just three hearts up until it's time to get the master sword. The last game I restarted ended up with me killing Lynels for...

    Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)

    It was a forgone conclusion that Banshees and Fablemans were going to be shut out and Tar's only chance was best Actress, and Yeoh looked like the favorite after the SAG win. Elvis getting skunked was surprising though. Ultimately, RRR won more Oscars than Banshees, Fablemans, Tar, and Elvis...

    Official 2023 Oscar Nominations And Discussions Thread

    As has been discussed, ranked choice works by eliminating the movies that have the least amount of #1 votes and move up the remaining votes on the ballot to the #1 spot. This keeps happening Highlander style until one movie has 50% + 1 of the "#1 votes". But these aren't really #1 votes, they...

    Official 2023 Oscar Nominations And Discussions Thread

    I think you're a little off. You can't game the voting with rank choice by playing around with your ballot choice order. What good does it do to put the movie you want to win as #2? The only way your vote will count for the film you want to win is to hope the #1 film gets knocked out and then...

    Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)

    I had a tepid reaction to EEAO my first watch, so I saw it again with my daughters. They both loved the movie and shed some tears. I though the movie was fun and I definitely picked up on more plot things this time around. But I still didn't love it. I just didn't have any emotional connection...

    65 inch OLED TV or 75 inch Regular LED?

    DVD looked like ass on my VIzio P-75. I just chalked it up to the larger screen. I upgraded to the LG C1 77"in July and I was shocked at how good DVDs looked, even at 77". So they can look good with the great upscaling and processing.

    The Whale

    The only thing I knew going in was a clip from the BAFTAs where Hong Chau tickles Brendan Fraser, and I was like, "WTF is this?" This is also after the horrors of sitting through To Leslie, which is the worst movie I've seen all year. On many levels they are similar movies except one wants to...

    Avatar: The Way of Water (2022)

    That's why I was hoping for 60 fps upscale, it's the only HFR format for UHD

    I hope they release a 60fps version for home video. The whole movie, not just some scenes.

    Babylon (2022)

    I enjoyed many things in Babylon but most of the parts I liked felt like a Coen Brothers movie, and very specifically felt like Hail Caesar (there's a scene with take after take that has a great button, but has nothing on, "Would that it were so simple"). I know I'm probably in the minority...

    Triangle of Sadness (2022)

    The first act of Triangle was belabored and boring. I fell asleep at one point and had to go back to find my place and then fell asleep again. So I called it a day and restarted when I felt a little more energized. After fighting through the first act again, the second act really picked up...

    The Quiet Girl (2022)

    The Quiet Girl is my hands down favorite film of the year, with an extraordinary performance by Catherine Clinch in the title role. She has maybe a dozen lines the entire movie but is in every scene. She conveys everything with her eyes and facial expressions, and it's a truly remarkable feat of...

    2022-2023 NFL Season

    The Panthers have the worst record in football, they won't have to trade up for Stroud or Young. The Giants would have to trade up to get into that spot.

    2022-2023 NFL Season

    There's really no QB coming out that is worth the king's ransom of picks to move up for. Jimmy G and Cousins would be $35-40mil to sign. Jones looks like he's an above average game manager, but not the kind of QB that will elevate the kind of offense Daboll wants to install. Instead, the Giants...

    Vengeance (2022)

    Very good movie, lots of insightful commentary and some very funny parts, although the story felt more like a vehicle for the commentary than an organic movie, sort of like a movie based around someone's stand up bits. Don't let that dissuade you, it's well worth watching.

    For All Mankind (2019) - Season 3

    Margo and Sergei are truly star crossed lovers. The interesting narrative changes between seasons due to the decade time jump means that even if Danny found the gun, it would be past history by the time season 4 begins. It's interesting that they have cliffhangers at the end of the seasons...

    New LG C1 OLED owner thoughts

    Even OLED won't have 100% gray uniformity out of the box, but the amount that it is off by is much less than the variations found in a typical LCD screen. The new LG sets will actually correct uniformity issues over time, as usage and pixel cleaning will even out existing irregularities. But...

    New LG C1 OLED owner thoughts

    I had initially decided to get the 85" Samsung QN90A as a TV upgrade but came to the unfortunate conclusion that it was simply too large for the TV area, and would have resulted in people brushing or bumping into the set while heading in and out of the front door. It just seemed like a tragic...

    New LG C1 OLED owner thoughts

    I just found my new reference material that shows off the OLED's deep, rich blacks and infinite contrast ratio -- For All Mankind on Apple TV+. Now, the show is excellent and the period costumes and set design look incredible on the C1. But the scenes on the moon -- oh my god, the freaking moon...
