    The One...The Only...JAWS

    Same thing when I took my daughter, the actor who played Hooper did not come out as well. This was in October if memory serves.

    Blu-ray Review Starting Over – Blu-ray Review

    Great review! I bought the disc because I loved this movie back when it first came out. I watched it with my wife last weekend and it does hold up. Excellent performances all around.

    The One...The Only...JAWS

    Yep I had read an interview after I had seen it twice where he didn’t like the play and I had the thought he might not the first time I saw it. However I am still glad I saw it as I enjoyed seeing a lot of the things I had read about play out on stage. Was also nice that my daughter and I got...

    @Tino - Any new stories or tid bits that were new for you? There's been so much written about Jaws I am always on the hunt to learn something I haven't heard about before. Thx

    The Conversation 4K UHD 50th Anniversary Limited Collectors Edition

    Ouch 90$ if buying from Zavi has it for $90. Ouch. Even $80 seems like a lot. I like the film and the video extras but I am not sure I need an $80 version.

    The Exorcist: Deceiver (2025)

    I agree the Doctor Sleep is a good film. I enjoyed the throwbacks to The Shining. The death of the child was particularly disturbing. As for The Exorcist sequal(s) I think it is going to be next to impossible to come up with something compelling after the original, the latest sequel and all...

    McMillan & Wife complete series question

    On the 2nd season Australian BluRay of Columbo the episode "Etude in Black" is available in a 70 minute cut that has the MM opening on it. I kept that version from my old rips when I replaced what I had from the new Kino set I just bought.

    I think the new iPads will be running an M3 variant. M4 will likely start on the new Macs this fall / early winter.

    The Apple Vision Pro buyers and owners thread

    I also recall hearing somewhere or reading that there wasn’t supposed to be a hardware update that would be at a lower price for potentially 2 years.

    The Apple Vision Pro buyers and owners thread

    The headline say it has canceled an update to the headset but in the article it says "may cancel" so I am still in the wait and see camp. I always thought that they would sell about 500K which seems to be where things are ending up. On a recent MacBreak Weekly there's was a good discussion...

    Blu-ray Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Columbo The 1970s-- in Blu-ray

    One thing I noticed is that on the shorter Etude in Black the episode does not have Mystery Movie opening like it does on the second season Blu-ray set I imported from Australia. Too bad Kino didn’t do it the same way.

    "Then there was the annoying flyaway hair that suddenly appeared on Paltrow’s face during that intimate diner scene with Freeman. “You couldn’t even see in the film version that it cuts right through Gwyneth’s eye,” Fincher said. “And I don’t think I’ve ever seen it in 1080p. But in 4K you can...

    Best Buy To Exit Physical Media Business In 2024

    I miss the artwork on Albums just as I do on LaserDiscs. It was neat to pull out the Album put it on, read the linear notes, display the cover etc. However I would never want to go back to the hiss and pops introduced by the medium itself.

    R.I.P Dickey Betts (The Allman Brothers Band)

    Saw him play in NYC back in the late 80’s. Actually bumped into him in the place when he wasn’t on stage. Was very nice to us.

    Marantz AV 10 - Initial Impressions

    I use MultEQ-X on my Marantz Sr-8015. The ability to label and retake measurements as well as exclude measurements and easily try out settings changes is a game changer. It took me some time to learn but with it I was able to get my system to perform in ways the built in Audyssey never could...

    Blu-ray Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Columbo The 1970s-- in Blu-ray

    I just compared Dead Weight on the Kino Set to the same episode the Australian Madman Release of Season 1. The Kino Set is using DTS for the soundtrack and the Madman release is using LPCM Stereo. It is the case that the level of dialog on the Kino release during the boat trial scene is lower...

    Blu-ray Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Columbo The 1970s-- in Blu-ray

    My set just showed up. Very nice packaging and the artwork on the outside box is nice. I do recall that Falk was a drawer and had a number of drawings on his website. One was a really nice drawing he did of himself as Columbo. That would have made for interesting box art.

    Check It Out!

    I’ve been watching it on t Tubi. This show is nothing like Barney Miller. It’s almost slapstick comedy with lots of sexual innuendo.

    The Latest from the Apple Rumor Mill

    I suspect they will try and release base and pro chips at the same time so the don’t have a situation (again) where the base Mx is faster than Mx-1 but the Mx-1 Pro (& Max) is faster than the Mx. current gen.
