    Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver (2024)

    It looks like it'll be fun to watch it viewing-party-style where folks lambasts all of the various tropes at hand as the film rolls along in April.

    Poor Things (2023)

    On other social venues, it's funny to read about how parents aren't able to show this film to their children, even though it features Emma Stone, a 'favourite' amongst a younger demographic, and when they ignore the R rating, the rush to shut down the film is afoot as the film progresses. :):):)

    I'm there on opening weekend, Garland as director is all I need to know.

    2023-2024 NFL Season

    I just hope Cousins doesn't go down for a number of games because I doubt the rest of the QB room will be able to put up productive numbers like Capt Kirk would.

    Dune: Part Two (2024)

    When the AR is wider, your eyes will go left and right to take in the image on the screen. When the AR is taller, the image feels zoomed in and your eyes are more static while watching the film, giving that claustrophobic feel at times with the close-ups.

    Dune: Part Two (2024)

    Used my AMC A-list to throw some more $$$ towards D2's box office tonight. I think I like the Dolby Cinema presentation a little more than the Faux-MAX presentation, just for the wider aspect ratio for this kind of film, more scope for its landscape shots.

    Dune: Part Two (2024)

    Saw Dune 2 a second time at an AMC Faux-Max theater. For what I could tell, the aspect ratio remained the same throughout its running time and filled up the screen, guessing 1.85:1-ish (except when Margo was looking through her "binoculars/viewer", which made for a more tight, zoomed in field...

    Netflix Maestro

    Did not much care for this film, needed a better script to tie things together.

    Dune: Part Two (2024)

    Saw it on a Dolby Cinema AMC theater. Lots of rumble in the seats, solid video presentation. There was a lot of cover, and for the most part, the first 2/3 of the film are fine (solid composition featuring scope and scale), but the final third had me experiencing reactions I rarely get anymore...

    Did PG wear a special contact lens for the wonky eye?

    Dune: Part Two (2024)

    It's mostly just the trailer from part 2 featuring Paul's attempt at riding the big sand worm creature as a rite of passage amongst the Fremen. There's a info card that last for about a minute before the start of the movie to alert attendees about the extended trailer at the end of the...

    Dune: Part Two (2024)

    Sorry, mistype, just saw it in a Dolby Cinema presentation, not IMAX, so just on the big screen, not a really big and tall screen, appeared to be around 2:35:1 AR. I plan on seeing Dune part 2 on an AMC FauxMax screen in March.

    Dune: Part Two (2024)

    Watched the Dune Part 1 reissue last night, and enjoyed the scope and scale and sound of the preview for part 2 after the credits. Very satisfying. I'd forgotten how loud part 1 was with all of the musical cues and themes.

    Disney+ Echo (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

    Felt like it was 2 episodes too long for me. It could have just been a solid 2-hour movie.

    Budget printer with low ink cost

    Over Christmas, I ended up looking around for a printer, was going to go with a laser printer (was getting tired of having to replace print heads due to ink drying out in the heads from lack of printing on a regular basis), but in the end, decided to give ink printers one more go, so I snagged a...

    Argylle (2024)

    Saw it on AMC Imax with their upgraded laser projection, and it looks pretty colorful and sharp. The movie had some patented Vaughn humor and laughs, but it is a bit too long, maybe chop out 15-20 minutes and it would have flowed better.

    Godzilla: Minus One (2023)

    Just visually, a matter of contrast.

    Godzilla: Minus One (2023)

    Godzilla-1-Color was tonally better, acting-wise, for me. I enjoyed both version, giving the -Color version the slight edge.

    Back in the summer, I had a sneaking suspicion that Gosling would nab a best supporting actor nom, and I was right. Gosling was Kenough!

    Hardware Review Sony UBP-X800M2 UHD Blu-ray Player Review

    I can't remember why I moved off my Sony X800M1 for a Panasonic UB420 3 years ago, but I kept the X800M1 as a backup as well, and now that I have a 3D-capable projector, I've decided to use the X800M1 as my dedicated 3D blu-ray player for the foreseeable future. Still no DV-capable display, so...

    Amazon Prime Reacher (2022) - Season 2

    I wish I was loving S2 as I did S1, but I find Reacher to be more compelling as a loner protagonist, vs this season's "Reacher and the Outsiders" we're getting in order for it to be a more personal situation for him and the 110th. The writing isn't as good, and the kill count is crazy high...

    BenQ HT1075 DLP Home Theater Projector Review

    Let's bump an almost decade old thread. I finally joined the projectors owner group. Having accumulated a lot of 3D blu-rays (I think over 65 3D titles now) in the past year, I thought it was time to get something so I could actually view these 3D titles in my collection. Since 3D TV sets are...

    Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (2023)

    Even I'm not going on opening night for AQ2 (I rarely miss super-hero movies on their usual Thursday night openings), but gonna eat a ton of KBBQ tonight instead, and that is more appetizing than a viewing of AQ2 that's not lighting the world on fire.

    Wonka (2023)

    Hugh Grant was born to play an Oompa-Loompa. Overall, "Wonka" was mostly okay, pleasant.
