Stupid question but is this more of a tension thriller or a jump scare movie? I'm not a huge fan of the latter. Despite the low budget, I thought Open Water was a fantastic movie. Not sure if anyone has seen that one.
I saw this Saturday night with my wife for date night. It wasn't the main feature... we did the wine and paint place and dinner first but kind of on a lark went to see this. The problem is the books are rated XXX and the movies are rated R. I think if they made these NC-17 women would have...
I'm typically at 80-100 down and 10-15 up. I think it will matter a lot more as streaming kills off physical media for non-hobbyists. I'm hoping that the ISPs can make some fundamental improvements to the networks. I'd live to see something more mesh oriented or like bit torrent behind the...
I did end up seeing it yesterday with my middle and youngest daughters and my sister. It was pretty good. Not quite as good a The Lego Movie but still good. Both kids (6 and 10) really liked it.
This is a topic that came up on a forum I run regarding Android / Kodi boxes that are being sold and hook into all kinds of illegal streams of movies and even live content. The point was made that with some of this, a whole generation may grow up pirating content without even knowing what...
I hope they maintain SOME continuity of style regardless of who directs. I hate to see someone coming and and deciding s/he needs to make his/her mark and ruining any congruity.
Yeah, I'm generally still excited about this and will take my kids regardless, but I'm more worried about not being able to get past Hermoine than anything else.
They do it because they want to listen to tons of stuff. I pay $15 for a family Apple Music plan. If I bought everything that we all listen to it would be $100-$200 a month. Hell we STILL sometimes have a triple digit iTunes bill in some months.
We will not decide the fate of physical disks. We are small minority. A perfect example of market forces is that fact that audiophiles did not bring the resurgence of vinyl, hipsters did. Extending that analogy, physical disks likely won't die, but they'll become a (possibly rare and...
Watched this one last night with my 10 year old. I really enjoyed it. The story, both in tone and pacing, may be a bit dated for today's children (or some adults apparently) but I'm glad someone is still making movies that don't feel like 2 hour Happy Meal advertisements. The movie does get a...
My family has been wanting to see this one since we saw that trailers. We all went Sunday, myself, wife, and three kids age 12, 10 and 6. The movie ultimately felt like a Hindu turn at God's Not Dead or Heaven is for Real but with dogs. More emotional manipulation (this was seen a mere 16 hours...
Maybe, but with all due respect this statement isn't very helpful. They do Bluetooth how? Like they control Bluetooth components? I mean, some of them do Wi-Fi technically too but that doesn't address the facts in the video because they use Wi-Fi to update the remote, not to control my Vizio...
The Xfinity X1 and Cox Contour 2 are the same thing (or at least use the exact same remote). I don't have an issue with channels per say but speaking a show name instead of "typing" it in with the remote is a killer app that I don't want to forgo.
Great thread Brian. I also recently added a sub to my GoldenEar Triton setup for similar reasons. Although I have Triton Ones and only the L/R pair. The rest of my system is the SuperCenter XXL and Aons for surrounds. I lived with just the Tritons, no other sub, for over a year. They...
The issue that I detailed more in the video is replacing remotes that aren't just IR. Apple uses Bluetooth on their new 4th gen remote. They also have a built in mic so you can use Siri voice commands to search for content etc. My Vizio M series TV has a basic remote that does 4 things and...
I created this video yesterday after being frustrated that I find myself frequently having to pull out another remote in addition to my Logitech Harmony One. I typically never programmed my universal remote with all the keys and functions needed to do things like setup and configuration...
A little thin on details but I like the Echo integration. My kids like to use the Echo to play music in the kitchen because of the voice control but I prefer the Sonos Play 3 because the sound is superior. Of course I also am fully Apple integrated which Sonos supports (e.g. iTunes and Apple...
I probably wouldn't worry about it. If you are considering room acoustics and installing treatments, you're doing better than most. As you saw, I wasn't able to install my panels in the exact perfect position either but the definitely made a big difference and I'll be consulting with GIK about...
Ideally the center of the panel should be near the ear height when seated and or near the tweeter height (which should be close to the same height ideally. Sometimes you have to compromise as I did in my room due to construction elements. See this video if you're curious.
I haven’t posted here in quite a while but I’m a long time member and can provide references for sales I’ve made in the past. I haven't used my Home Theater in months. I still watch movies from time to time but its not in the HT room. In fact, there has been a photography backdrop in front...
