    The Horror Movie Appreciation Thread

    I have seen this movie twice. I don't consider it a vampire movie for it is more like the multitude of zombie movies, virus infection movies and slash and hackers. It focuses on gore with victims immediately transforming into blood thirsty creatures. That said, the story is well done, and the...

    The Horror Movie Appreciation Thread

    The Bloody Vampire 1962 (Amazon) This is the best vampire movie that I have seen. I prefer it over the original Bela Dracula film and its offspring. The theme is excellent and believable though it needs to be filled out. It's ending leaves it open to a sequel. I don't believe there is one. This...

    Scorsese's newest controversy about "Cinema" and Streaming

    In college humanity courses we used to dissect the meaning behind the great directors' (Fellini etc) films in the same manner we autopsied every word of the great poets like TS Elliot and Cummings. Today when people dissect film it is in regards to special effects or character connection "is...

    excellent review Josh. i didn't purchase the blue-ray. Last night I rented the HD version from amazon prime, The video was horrendous. One moment its crisp and detailed and the next moment pixelating or looking like the early Dark Shadows tv episodes. I stopped watching after ten minutes. I...

    Disney+ Marvel's WandaVision

    i knew Agnes had a secret side! I didn't know whether it was good or evil though until the witch custom foreshadowed evil. I love this show but having to wait for each new episode to be aired is painful. Next thing you know they'll throw in real commercials. Did anybody else see this? - 'cause...

    Looking for Advice on Ripping my CD Collection

    both record 0 Hz to 655,000 Hz way beyond our 20K Hz for those with good hearing. wav takes more space for it rips everything including the no sound areas increasing file size. File size does not equal music quality. Wav is not well suited to adding metadata as it is intended to record the...

    Disney+ Marvel's WandaVision

    well i finally watched WandaVision. it is peachy keen, cool, wicked awesome, groovy and a marvel in tv show production. The early sitcom mimics in B&W , 4:3 ratio were hilarious if you were old enough to have seen the original sitcoms. The scene in which they slide together their two beds was...

    Disney+ Marvel's WandaVision

    each to their own. Rules are meant to be broken and you can't judge a book by it's cover. This thread made me add this show to my watch list though the trailers have me totally confused. I watched the first few episodes of Dark and found it depressing, confusing and the constant raining...

    if my smart LG OLED tv with webOS has apps for apple. amazon, netflix, etc., why would i need a streamer? when i select amazon etc. the tv outputs via hdmi arc to my a/v receiver and i get the dolby, atmos etc. sound while the tv handles the 4k HDR+.

    The Expanse on Amazon Prime

    I'm a sci fi and Lovecraft lover. But mostly reading as tv/movie versions never seem to capture the real sense because it is sci fi. that said, i didn't know the video expanse existed until i stumbled on it on Amazon a month ago. I have to say, they are doing a great job of mirroring the images...

    Question about "The Avengers" TV series

    I purchased the "i love Ms Peel" megaset and S5 Blu-Ray. I watched the megaset up to S4 and watched S5 on Blu-ray and my heart was broken when she left Steeds apartment in her final episode. Their chemistry was amazing. I updated the Prisoner from DVD to Blu-ray. It's the way to go. The...

    Abbey Road Super Deluxe September 27 2019

    Mother Mary, this is going to be interesting. in the first LIB release we have the Phil Spector wall of sound that became a long and winding road that drags on forever . We have Maccas' remixing in the Naked LIB version that has more of a live band feel that Paul wanted. He was furious that...

    Diana Rigg passes away at age 82

    I thank Diana for lighting my fuse in 1965 that sparked the explosive release of two critical dormant hormones from my pituitary gland. I don't know how she did it but after my every Saturday night's wide eyed watching of her in The Avengers, she would then slip into my dreams. Dreams I never...

    Anyone remember Velodyne?

    i think it depends on the age of the products and the manufacturer's suggestions. My Polks and Velodyne CH-10 are 2004 era and my Sony STR DN1050 receiver is circa 2015 with 2019 firmware updates to handle the new sound formats, my Panasonic blue ray is 2019 and my LG OLED is 2018. I reread...

    Anyone remember Velodyne?

    I moved my system last month and had to read the subwoofer arguments on direct vs speaker level connections. It is what brought me to this forum years ago and I still lurk and learn from posters here. The "which player to buy for blue ray/UHD/HDR" has been my latest learning experience as well...
