Depends on whose word you believe
http://time.com/5105929/why-is-the-flu-so-bad-2018/
"The CDC estimates that the vaccine will be effective against roughly 30% of H3 viruses this year."

If you get the flu it's zero percent effective. If you don't, it's 100% effective. Those are the only two percentages that matter.

Oh Mike, take care of yourself! My partner and all is friends work in the hospitals and I keep hearing about is the number of people coming in with different forms of the flu. It's about as miserable as you can get.

Jigsaw and Goodbye Christopher Robin will be Redbox'ed or Netflix'ed at some point.Gone are the days of randomly buying movies for the heck of it, I guess. I think I got old.

FWIW I loved Jigsaw in the theater (Dolby Cinema) after having seen Saw 1 and skipping the rest. Recommended.

Hope to have my UHD reviews of Cloverfield and 10 Cloverfield Lane up later today or early tomorrow.

I got diagnosed with "Type A Rapid" flu." This is serious stuff. Do everything you can to stay away from it!

I'm sorry I'm late to the thread this week -- not sure how I missed it -- but a big THANK YOU for continuing to do this even when you are sick, which is both not necessary and really very kind to all of us here. Hang in there and feel better soon, okay?

Nothing for me this week.

 

[Todd Erwin]

Get well and stay hydrated, Mike!

My UHD review of 10 Cloverfield Lane is now live.

I got Geostorm 3D from Best Buy last week. Not sure why they had it a week early. If you like mindless CG natural diasters and things blowing up in space, you might enjoy it. But don't expect an award-winning plot. The 3D was also nothing special, so anyone who might buy it just for the 3D may be disappointed.

May pick up Jigsaw, but more likely to wait for a price reduction.

Was the Geostorm 3D version a one-time sale? I cannot find it on the Best Buy website or in-store.

When I ordered it a couple weeks back, it was for home shipment only (not in stores). I presume they only had limited stock and it must have sold out. I believe WB Shop still has it available, and it's listed at Bull Moose. Or you can order the region-free version from Amazon UK. It was also on the Walmart website a couple days ago, but I can't find that listing now.

Thanks Malcolm! Got it from Bullmoose cheaper than it would have been locally--free shipping, no sales tax!
