Johnny Mnemonic.Yes it was.
How is zathura? Isn't that that new Jumanji movie?
I love Guinan. In the star trek TNG episode "Night terrors" everyone except data and presumably guinan are going insane, and a fight breaks out in ten-forward(a bar), guinan is the bar keeper, and she pulls out this huge rifle and fires at the cieling, and says, "That was setting number one, does anyone want to see setting number two?"That was a good episode.
I recall that series being scary.To Me not scary enough. :eyebrows:
I just watched an episode of star trek TNG called "The Outcast." I am... not going to go into details about it. For those of you who are fans, you might know what I am talking about. I may be wrong, but in relation to some of my most precious values and beliefs, I think it was the most consummate tragedy I have ever seen.Your funny.
Your funny.One is glad to be of service.
I was just watching the new. I am enraged now at Bush's plan to expand the military.Ouchy from USA Today. (http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2006-12-20-bush_x.htm?csp=24)

Ah someone else who likes 'House' ?
Are you in Uk or USA Kevv? Cannot recall. Just noticed you are watching a lot of the UK programmes.I live in the USA I watch it on Biography Channel.
Cool they show that there, my mother likes Midsommer murders. I like it but dont get a tv reception here. Have they ever shown Cadfael there?You also get other British shows on PBS too.
I have cable and get the BBC too. ;D
I like British murder mysteries a lot over American.I have cable and get the BBC too. ;D
Thats bloody cool. Do you prefer British to USA tv, or like both the same? I have a lot of BBC stuff on video, but mainly stuff most men wouldn't like, such as all the Jane Austen dramas and Narnia, although I have Poldark and Penmarric too.

A TV show about Brandi Blackbear, who was suspended from school because of allegations that she "hexed" a teacher and checked out a book about Wicca six times from the school's library.
I am so pissed about what that school did to her. Thank goodness we have the ACLU.
http://www.aclu.org/religion/schools/16295prs20001026.html
"These outlandish accusations have made Brandi Blackbear's life at school unbearable," said Joann Bell, Executive Director of the ACLU of Oklahoma. "I for one would like to see the so-called evidence this school has that a 15-year-old girl made a grown man sick by casting a magic spell."But in the next claim that they defend the rights of Wiccans.

Whilst I find her treatment awful I find it interesting that in one paragraph they can seemingly pouring scorn on the idea of magic:Quote"These outlandish accusations have made Brandi Blackbear's life at school unbearable," said Joann Bell, Executive Director of the ACLU of Oklahoma.

I noticed this case was from 2000, how did things end up? Did the school have to pay damages?
Watching 'Amadeus' . Forgot what a great film it is, and of course, he had Aspergers apparently. Doesn't it suck that only some are born with savant abilities, lol.

It's impossible to know. Maybe the character in the movie had AS, but who knows about the real thing?

Problem is, there's not a lot of information available on Mozart. I've always felt that the experts proclaiming him as an Aspie are guessing more than anything.

Too many times. I stopped counting four years ago. I'd say 500 times. My boyfriend used to tease me about it because he say "This is your 1 millionth oneth time," and the number go up everytime he see me watching it.
I'm watching it again. Fergusons. Sam is juggling the food.

I liked And Justice for All best, I think.
Dog Day Afternoon was close though.
I think I saw it.
And Justice... is fantastic.
He's a defense attorney.
I think that the judge is played
by Jack Warden, who is really
amazing. The interplay between
the two is great.
Adaptation and
Saving Private Ryan - such a great film!

I liked them both very interesting but then again I liked the movies when I was in school too. Most of the TV I watch is along these lines. Going to watch "Cheney's Law" now online. Watched it perhaps it should be President Cheney instead of Vise President he's been waiting a long time for this and found his man in Bush
For three decades Vice President Dick Cheney conducted a secretive, behind-closed-doors campaign to give the president virtually unlimited wartime power. Finally, in the aftermath of 9/11, the Justice Department and the White House made a number of controversial legal decisions. Orchestrated by Cheney and his lawyer David Addington, the department interpreted executive power in an expansive and extraordinary way, granting President George W. Bush the power to detain, interrogate, torture, wiretap and spy -- without congressional approval or judicial review.

Yes, exactly. It looks to me like Cheney and David Addington set Bush up to be his puppet dictator.QuoteFor three decades Vice President Dick Cheney conducted a secretive, behind-closed-doors campaign to give the president virtually unlimited wartime power.

Yes! I've watched bits and pieces of it just to listen to the sound mix. Fabulous.
she was better in DCD than solo, though.

The soundtrack of FFXI (Final Fantasy 11) is zone oriented (game is divided into areas). Most zones have some sort of looping music while running around. When engaged with a monster, zones have different battle music which obviously has more tension. The battle music is good in some zones, especially Dynamis-Xarcabard. There are other songs in instances and storyline cutscenes, but nothing with actual singing other than the ending of Chains of Promaitha. The Gladiator soundtrack went well with more epic end game encounters like Dynamis and Besieged. Those involve anywhere from 64 to 750 players though fighting monsters in the same zone. The music from those areas were already pretty good, but not the quality of the soundtrack to Gladiator. Mostly MIDI instrumentation, though some good orchestration in some instances. Only one track that has the warmth of actual instruments and that is the aformentioned CoP ending track (has singing too). The FFXI soundtrack is only good for a few songs for someone who didn't play the game at all. It doesn't make as much sense out of the context of the storyline in some aspects.the music in Gladiator is the best!!!We (my LS) had a music package for FFXI that had the Gladiator soundtrack.

If anything, try a terrific Russian film from 2003 named "The Return". Fantastic film, excellent DVD transfer without the eleventeen answer and intermediate prints to fuck up the quality.

I searched my local library database and found that they have two copies on order of the English language version. (No fair, I don't speak Russian! Actually, I almost always watch House of Flying Daggers in the native language and since I've seen it so many times, I skip the English subtitles usually. :D)
I got excited at first, because the library has a DVD by that title, but with a later production date, starring Sarah Michelle Gellar (:puke:) ... not the same film.
The Return sounds like a very interesting film. Terrible that one of the young actors drowned not long after completion.
I will look that one up for sure!
Thanks.
... but what I really meant was which "Dune" should I get.

I actually think most of them are very good. You're supposed to watch them.
A select few are. Most of them are unbelievably boring.
watched loads of films recently (well, had to find something to do while the O Man was on holiday without intergeeks access :'( ).

only cos i couldn't aim straight. :smarty:
you know the answer to that, you daft finn. wasn't your mobile practically incandescent, at one point? :laugh:

i must try and remember my scathing and winning comparison of aldomovar and Shrek.
My father loves Moulin Rouge, used to watch it all the time. Coincidentally, he also loves Shrek lol.

Aldomovar did at least one good film, but I like Shrek, too. :)

watched "night on earth" earlier, and got a version without subtitles, sigh. i was astonished at how much finnish i could work out. wasn't actually much, but i got the gist of a couple of the conversations. yay, me! :woohoo:

Was the film any good, and why did you download a Jim Jarmusch film?
Yes, though I think Bergman was a greater artist.

ditto, at the moment. enjoying the new season of Dexter though. slashy slashy! :swords:
season 2. didn't know season 3 had even started anywhere, it hasn't here. ???
Not watching anything atm. :-\

nocti, you bastard! :P

'Torchwood' is supposed to be the 'mature' version of the Whoniverse. However, there is ten times more maturity to be found in a middle ranking Carry On movie... and one hundred times more fun.
Why have I watched every episode?... morbid curiosity as to how low the quality of the show can plummet.

You sir have mental issues.

Ish. There can be informed opinion rather than it being merely subjective alone. The writing and plotting for 'Torchwood' is generally of poor quality and the plots go after cheap titilation rather than substance. Its a lazy show in its writing, its acting, directing and its visual effects.

The episode about Burn Gorman's character dealing with being dead was absolutely top notch acting.
That is a fucking load of crap Nocti. Did you not see the last 6 episodes of Season 2? They were some of the best writing and acting I've witnessed in any TV ever.
I think its you who is full of shit.

Aww diddums. Have I upset your poor little applecart by not liking 'Torchwood' and seeking to explain why? Having trouble putting you case together in words are you. There there, mop your angry little tears.

No, but I honestly think people these days are too hard on shows. I mean c'mon, how many so called good shows have been cancelled after only 1 season lately?
I mean who is more upset here? I think it's you. You watch Torchwood and complain that its crap and not good enough, but everyone else seems to watch it and enjoy it somewhat. I think you are the one who has a bug up his arse about things.
Speaking of House I just wacthed the first ep of Season 5. It was good.

Good reply. (I'm glad you replied with balance, because I really appreciated your 'Stargate' tidbit in the other thread - and instantly regretted that 'diddums' stuff).
I only mentioned 'Torchwood' because of (was it Lucifer) mentioning it and wondering what people thought. Galileo seems to take these things personally and a lot of others do. Except when responding to things that are getting personal... I do not mean my dislike of 'Torchwood' to be a slight or whatever to anybody.
It is true that I find it difficult to fathom why anybody has so much time for the show that they get gnarled just because somebody feels free to say they dislike it... it really isn't very good... and I say this in the knowledge that I am entertained by many things which also are not very good... as well as things of quality. Heck, I enjoy 'The Phantom Menace' though I'd be the first to admit it is both a miserable effort and was a terrible disappointment.
However, I find 'Torchwood' to be a complete bore generally as well as being rather a poor effort at TV Sci-Fi (or any genre). I actually got quite excited at the prospect of the 'undead' thing being explored and developed... and then... thud... it wasn't. I would love 'Torchwood' to be a great series... but up to now it has been completely woeful.
Its not nostalga. 'Primeval' is just as new as 'Torchwood' and I love 'Primeval' (though many do not).
I don't have bugs anywhere... I use insecticide - lol :lol: I just feel free to express my opinion when asked. If folk get personal, I'll get personal back. If folk question my opinion... I'll seek to give some answer for myself. No bugs... honest :green:

An attempt to follow 'Babylon 5's lead. I know DS9 slightly predates Bab5, but in its first season or two it was regular Trek... though more grubby perhaps. When Bab5 got a following... all of a sudden DS9 manufactured a 'story arc' - a pale shadow of Bab5. ;)

Sigh! Couldn't think of anything original to say?
I think it was more of a case of anyone that cared left to do voyager, so the people who were left to do DS9 could do what they wanted, and it seemed they had more talent and ideas that the morons who went and made Voyager.

I don't think DS9's arc was stolen, or inspired by B5's.
Ah yes, the good old reset button. A trek favourite.
Ah yes, the good old reset button. A trek favourite.They copied that from 'Dallas' :eyebrows:
I don't think DS9's arc was stolen, or inspired by B5's.
A few years before 'Deep Space Nine' the producers of 'Babylon 5' pitched the series to Paramount (among others). Paramount wasn't interested in any non-'Star Trek' space series, but Warners eventually picked it up. Then Paramount's DS9 appears, similarly about a commercial/communial space station (run by the military) being a meeting place among races, near a hyperspace gateway. Even a character name is shared - Dukhat in B5 and Gul Dukat in DS9. Interesting eh?
J. Michael Straczynski (Creator and main writer of B5) has stated often that he believed DS9 (especially the second season) drew heavilly on the materials he presented to Paramount in 1989 while pitching Bab 5. Not exactly stealing from Bab 5... but using the confidential materials as a basis for DS9.

Pissed off cause Naruto wasn't on Cartoon Network tonight.
So I am watching a rerun of House on USA.

fuck me, that was one of the loudest claps of thunder i've ever heard! i jumped about six inches off the chair! :D

your brain will rot - dunno about jekyll, but house is utter bollocks. i loathed it within minutes, and only watched it through to the end because you'd tell me off if i didn't, and say i didn't give it a chance.

If you cut at 120Hz, I bet they'll change. IMHO, no more than 85Hz, and according to Dolby (and me, I think that's a bit low) no more than 55Hz.
but maybe I'm reading you wrong--your baffle construction would be of interest. I would love to bring a couple of CDs and an LP or two, to see what your setup is about.

The idea is to avoid using any electronics or even crossovers in the largest part of the audio band at the speaker level. As an analog system, everything you add to the signal path (even the direction, length and type of cabling used) makes a number of differences, some desired, some NOT. A crossover is a nightmare, because they alter the phase of the signal differently at different frequencies. Attaining the highest resolution in reproduction is only possible with the simplest possible system. A high quality analog source, a simple SET tube amp (mine has only eight solder joints in the signal path), a single driver for the entire audio spectrum would be ideal, but room-filling full range drivers are still a problem. They do not exist, so compromises are made.
Also, if I had not specified, this is not my surround system. This is my two channel stereo I am talking about. As far as Dolby's recommendations, I assume you are referring to movie soundtrack reproduction. I am still using a 5.1 system for movies. If you were talking about crossing over the LFE channel at a certain frequency, I have balanced mine with my fronts using an external EQ, pink noise and an RTA. I think the crossover setting on my LFE channel (which itself is bi-amped and equalised, quite complicated) is around sixty something Hertz. That entire system is so electronic that I could hardly call it a hi-res system. It's awesome for movie soundtracks, though!
We've been playing kid movies all day.
I've seen bits of a couple of House episodes. It looks interesting, but I could not play it around the kids.

The Dolby way (and yes, I tend to think of movie soundtrack reproduction; bad habit, I know) works very well when you run AC-3-encoded sound (i.e., Dolby Digital) in a theatre, but 55Hz is far too low for a home setup, IMO. Most living rooms lack the necessary space, not to mention that you can't build a proper baffle for the front speakers. My crossover is around 85, which seems to be a reasonable compromise between 5.1 and 2 (.1) for my Dali speakers.

I have some ten inch JBL "full range" drivers, but they are designed for high output. Using under one watt (which is likely to happen at the listening level I normally enjoy. The JBLs are extremely efficient. One watt produces ninety eight dB from sixty Hertz to twelve kH at one meter.) they do not have the sound I need. I built a D' Apollito arrangement with one bullet horn in the middle ( using one simple capacitor in series with the bullet, 6dB per octave roll off) between two tens. They are amazing outside, especially with about forty watts on them, even though they can take over four hundred watts in the box I built for them.
They are just not for home use.

My living room is actually not bad. I also have a sloped cathedral style ceiling (eight feet on one side, rising to twelve feet on the other) which helps to control certain standing waves. At fifteen feet by twenty two feet, I have enough room in the corner for a serious LF system (bi-amplified, with four fifteen inch drivers below thirty Hertz powered by an eight hundred watt amplifier and two fifteens for the next octave up with two hundred watts on them). No, you can't really hear it - you feel it!
Most of my "friends" do not understand what I am doing. They are happy with their little cubical, commercial home theatre "subwoofer" units, only capable of fairly loud thirty Hertz range noise. (sorry, but thirty Hertz is NOT sub-audible - I'm an asshole about this stuff! They don't have subwoofers on their HT set-ups!)
cpu usage and physical memory, to compare vlc usage to winamp (winamp 5 sucks >:()
vlc player takes up a lot of space, even just playing music! i might need to get a different ogm player...
The idea is to avoid using any electronics or even crossovers in the largest part of the audio band at the speaker level. As an analog system, everything you add to the signal path (even the direction, length and type of cabling used) makes a number of differences, some desired, some NOT. A crossover is a nightmare, because they alter the phase of the signal differently at different frequencies. Attaining the highest resolution in reproduction is only possible with the simplest possible system. A high quality analog source, a simple SET tube amp (mine has only eight solder joints in the signal path), a single driver for the entire audio spectrum would be ideal, but room-filling full range drivers are still a problem. They do not exist, so compromises are made.
There are some JBL drivers that almost do this, but not quite.
And yes, I agree with you that crossovers are a nightmare.
I have some ten inch JBL "full range" drivers, but they are designed for high output. Using under one watt (which is likely to happen at the listening level I normally enjoy. The JBLs are extremely efficient. One watt produces ninety eight dB from sixty Hertz to twelve kH at one meter.) they do not have the sound I need. I built a D' Apollito arrangement with one bullet horn in the middle ( using one simple capacitor in series with the bullet, 6dB per octave roll off) between two tens. They are amazing outside, especially with about forty watts on them, even though they can take over four hundred watts in the box I built for them.
They are just not for home use.
98dB at 12kHz sounds like an ordeal. How's the linearity, especially around 3-4kHz (where my ears always catch the slightest problem)? TBH, I'd prefer a crossover to ensure that the speakers won't have to compromise around there.
I like JBL speakers but I've never come across any good ones for home use.QuoteAlso, if I had not specified, this is not my surround system. This is my two channel stereo I am talking about. As far as Dolby's recommendations, I assume you are referring to movie soundtrack reproduction. I am still using a 5.1 system for movies. If you were talking about crossing over the LFE channel at a certain frequency, I have balanced mine with my fronts using an external EQ, pink noise and an RTA. I think the crossover setting on my LFE channel (which itself is bi-amped and equalised, quite complicated) is around sixty something Hertz. That entire system is so electronic that I could hardly call it a hi-res system. It's awesome for movie soundtracks, though!I realise that it isn't your surround setup, but I only have one setup at home so it's a compromise between two different philosophies.
The Dolby way (and yes, I tend to think of movie soundtrack reproduction; bad habit, I know) works very well when you run AC-3-encoded sound (i.e., Dolby Digital) in a theatre, but 55Hz is far too low for a home setup, IMO. Most living rooms lack the necessary space, not to mention that you can't build a proper baffle for the front speakers. My crossover is around 85, which seems to be a reasonable compromise between 5.1 and 2 (.1) for my Dali speakers.

What's your LF thing doing in the corner? Don't you get problems with standing waves or plain old interference with the rest of the setup?
I still don't own a good subwoofer--it's my 5.1 system's weakest link. I want the Dali sub that goes with my speakers but I can't afford it atm.
Ouch. That explains it--about the sub being placed "in the corner". I'd love to listen to your setup. Maybe not beyond 100 dB, but loud. ;D
How much is the roll-off around 12.5 kHz?
My daughter is watching Grinch movie I can't look I find it way to disturbing for some reason :-\

Why ouch? Even my tin-eared wife understands that this pursuit is a part of me that will never go away. Well, it will stop, but when it does, you can steal my toe tag.
Above 12kHz the JBL tens drop like a rock. It's been a while since I powered them, but it was around twelve dB per octave, quite unlike the roll off at the lower end of the spectrum. I set a cap in line to bring the bullets in at around 9kHz and there is no ill effect. Bullets are good above normal human hearing, but with titanium/beryllium diaphragms.
My monitors (the ones I use for movies - they are too "clinical sounding" and a little to inefficient to work with my SET amps) are good to 22kHz, but I have lost some hearing in that octave, since my fall. The sound is perfect for movie soundtracks though.
My Visatons are really only good to around 18KHz, where they have a slight (but, pleasing) peak, then a rapid drop in response. Most of the music I listen to privately (jazz) has little in that range, but a few classical and acoustic recordings benefit from one of the three different Heil tweeters I can throw in there when I want.Quote
Are you telling me that you can hear sounds around 20kHz? :o What are you, a dog?
:P I know--a Dawg.QuoteI have just not ever fallen in love with the ribbon designs, though. It's their un-natural propagation patterns that are offensive. On axis, they are very nice, but there is more to music reproduction than a sweet spot. Few other dynamic systems can reproduce the ultra-highs like a ribbon, though. I wish I had paper drivers from end to end, but the only paper drivers capable of reproducing tones above 20kHz with authority, I can not afford, realistically. (before you admonish me, I know I have little hearing ability above twenty KHz these days, but I also KNOW that I can still hear a remarkable difference in music when I have a super tweet running, In fact I can easily tell the difference between two of my Heil drivers, when the only real world difference is one of them has response to twenty five KHZ, while the other boasts response to thirty two KHZ. Again, it's in the music that requires more listening and recordings that are done acoustically where you can sense the difference.)
Yes, I have tried to re-do some of my JBL horn drivers (which have incredibly fucking powerful, well machined magnet structures and highly sensitive voice coils) with paper diaphragms. What ever magic the JBL wixards have created with their aluminum membranes, I can not yet achieve with paper or leather. Another back-burnered project.
I would think that you can't, with paper. Leather, OTOH, I have no idea.QuoteIf we watched "Master And Commander," with the center speaker set at eighty seven dB (which is where I prefer action movies) you would experience low frequency pulses in the ten Hertz range in excess of one hundred twelve dB when they fire the cannons. It moves you.
87 dB average?QuoteLast night I was watching the (jim carey/ron howard) Grinch movie with the kids and I had forgotten how seriously Ron had lain in the LFE at certain times. I didn't get out my meters, but I was listening to Yngwie on the headphones and suddenly my chair quaked. (the tiny car had exploded :D)
I don't think most people can conceive of what sub-audible tones can do for a movie lovers enjoyment. Only a select few have ever heard/felt what a DVD movie is capable of re-producing. They put the shit in there, but you need "speshul stuff" to experience it all.
The sub-audible tones are all right, a lot of the time, if the mix is good (considering that the actual information takes very little space and thus can be handled well enough in a good processor) but AC-3 sometimes makes a mess of bass around 40-50 Hz, lessening my enjoyment, at least. Compare, say, "Titanic" in Dolby with the same film in DTS. There is a very clear difference.QuoteI am just beginning to look into Blu-ray, but it seems that the sound stream is the basically the same. Only the vid has been upgraded.
I am sorely disappointed.
My understanding is that the so-called 7.1 thing does not improve on the basic AC-3 algorithm, it only adds two channels. Don't know about DTS but suspect it to be the same, since the movie mixes are still done with the same equipment as before.
In other words, it's a marketing ploy. IMO, there is no need for 7.1.
When Dolby introduced EX (a third, matrix-based surround channel) there was no actual need for it and so the industry ignored it, for the most part.

I love that stupid movie. It has everything - stampede, fire, train, desert, shoot outs, NEW guns (if I can remember correctly, it was a Henry rifle) ...
I like Silverado. Not a great film, but an entertaining one. :)

'Armed and Dangerous' starring John Candy & Eugene Levy. Quite funny.

My buddy who works at the PBS station cut me an AVI of "We Remain." I can only watch it on my computer, though. (that's why i am planning to build a media PC, soon)
It is fairly interesting - kind of docu-artsy, if there is such a thing.

I agree, a victorious Third Reich would have been a very strange place. Also if anything the victorious third world would have boasted about their extermination of the European Jewry, saying they did the whole world a favor.
The Roman Republic and Empire would be a good example of an victorious Third Reich, the Romans were very brutal lot, they celebrated what we see today as war crimes or crimes against humanity and made human sacrifice into mass entertainment.

Battlestar Galactica's got graphic sex scenes in it? :o
For a ten year old, seeing a hot, blond, extremely sexual Cylon effectively raping her male partner, while her backbone turns red hot is a bit much. (even though all we see is her naked back and all we hear is the deep, DEEP breathing)
I don't think of it as graphically explicit, as in porn, but for a maturing, (immediately pre-pubescent) virgin male with social difficulties, approaching "The Sex Conversation" with his dad ... it is a bit much.

Mainly because 1080p rips are much larger and take longer to download (not really a problem) and they eat away at my diskspace and internet data allowence quicker.
Also they seem to split 1080p rips into 2 to 3 files and I just know there is going to be a mess trying to re-join them to eliminate the stutter when MediaPortal switches between files while you are playing them.

That's the one. Don't know if the DVDs are made from the restored 70mm prints or not but I hope they are. Lawrence was actually shot in Ultra Panavision, with an aspect ratio of 2.66:1 (instead of the usual 2.21:1) so the "letterbox" should be even thinner than usual.

As I said, I don't know if the DVD is scanned from a 70mm print or not. It should have the intermission music intact if that is the case, and it should have an aspect ratio of 2.66:1.

It clearly states on the disk liner that the the aspect ratio is 2.55:1, nothing about how it was scanned, except that it was "restored from the original film" what ever the fuck that could mean. I am now wondering if it was "digitally anamorphosed" or if it was simply cropped.

Just watched District 9 and Push.
How good is District 9? I've been hearing it's great.
Yeah, and what's up with "imagine greater"? It's syntactically confusing. I remember the disgust with which aficionados of the genre always regarded the appelation "Sci Fi." It was thought cheap and demeaning. The preferred alternative was SF, which could stand for "science fiction," or for "speculative fiction" or "science fantasy," depending on your preference.I don't mind the term Sci Fi at all, like How do you like me so far? I detest the Sy Fy name change.
Myself I haven't been watching much lately, except for the footy. We're into the rugby-league finals, and the Dragons are playing tonight. :headbang2:

Oh yeah for sure! It's beautiful what they've done with it. They've cleaned the prints up real nice and the remastered effects are done tastefully.
I read it was mostly just upscaled to 1080p like just about everything that wasn't shot with HD cameras (most movies are analog). I won't be purchasing Blu-Rays of any movies that were not shot with a 1080p camera. Makes as much sense as watching a movie in a 3d theater with 3d glasses when that movie was not originally filmed in 3d. Hollywood is full of a bunch of money grubbing assholes.Is it worth the extra money?
Oh yeah for sure! It's beautiful what they've done with it. They've cleaned the prints up real nice and the remastered effects are done tastefully.
I think most of the episodes were shot on standard 16mm, meaning that the negatives are probably pretty crappy by now.

Well try and find a 1080p torrent of one of the episode and see for yourself. Personally I think they look pretty damn good.
Just to note, they have the remastered video with new cgi effects & 7.1 dts-HD Master audio, and remastered video with original effects and original audio. So no one is missing out on either one there. You can flip between each one with the angle button while you are watching them.

That's certainly interesting enough for me to have a look. :thumbup:
It doesn't really have a resolution until it is converted to digital in the first place Most of the Blu-Rays that have come out of older films have not looked much better than their DVD counterparts upscaled to 1080p, which is very sad. The show was shot in 4:3 aspect ratio as well, so you get those fun black bars on the sides.I read it was mostly just upscaled to 1080p like just about everything that wasn't shot with HD cameras (most movies are analog).

I think most of the episodes were shot on standard 16mm, meaning that the negatives are probably pretty crappy by now.
Actually the resolution of 16mm film is more than good enough for high definition. The problem, as I indicated, is that the negatives are likely to be in poor shape, meaning that they may be very difficult to restore.
"Analog" film, as you say, is still superior to any digital format, including the so-called 4k technologies. The 35mm film stock used for most feature films has a vastly superior dynamic range, in addition to superior resolution. The problem with modern feature films in cinemas today are that a) the show prints are mass-produced and several generations down the line, and b) projection technology in most cinemas today is sub-par at best.
Of course it's got a resolution before it's scanned. Film stock behaves differently from pixels but there is a practical limit to the available resolution set by the size of the grain. Standard 16mm also uses a ridiculously small frame and therefore has lower resolution, as it simply has fewer available grains, but the image steadiness is probably as big a factor in the relative lack of quality.
One should also keep in mind that TV cinematographers would light their scenes very quickly, often using too much light because the TV sets at the time didn't handle darker tones very well, and because quite a few sets were still black and white.
Not to mention the fact that the scanners were sometimes of fairly poor quality.
And yes, most TV shows were indeed shot in, or at least composed for, 4:3 until the late 80s or early 90s, even when using 35mm cameras (in which case they would commonly use something called "full frame" and compose the image for both the 1.33 TV format and the 1.85 aspect ratio in theatres). Spielberg's "Duel" is an example--TV movies of the week were often shot with 1.85 in mind in the hope that they could be released in cinemas overseas.
And yes--old films often look crappy in Blu-Ray. One reason is that sometimes the negatives are in bad shape (or were crappy to begin with, which is often the case with really old films where the film stock was often of very poor quality), another that a crappy TV scanned print (or even some old tape) was used, a third that some old DVD or tape scan has simply been upscaled to 1080p. They wouldn't have to be, most of the time, but that would require a proper rescan of the original master negative.

Indeed...why are you in Ireland now, Butterflies? Any plans for the bunch of you to move back to Scotland?
My aunt is fron N.Ireland and an only child, and she was born into extreme wealth. When she was in her late teens she moved to London to rebel, get away from the troubles, and escape her dickhead parents. It was always expected that she'd return home one day to take over affairs from her parents. My uncle (my dads brother) moved to London around the same time to be a punk, deal drugs, and become a heroine addict. They got together, got married, settled in Scotland, and had my cousin.
Recently my aunts mum developed Dementia, and it was felt that it was the right time for my aunt to return home and spend the last little time with her mum. I've always had a very close relationship with my aunt, uncle, and cousin, and that has caused a lot of resentment with my dad, so I decided to move over with them.
All of us would prefer to be in Scotland, but my aunt and uncle were expected to take over family affairs, but they're both getting old, and are in bad health, so have started to speak to my cousin about him taking things over instead. He doesn't want to do that, so he's started trying to talk me into running things with him. I don't really want to. All of the family interests are in N.Ireland and so we'd really have to stay here to look after things. I really don't see any way for us all to move back to Scotland. I could move back myself, but I'd be all alone. Even my best friend's moved over here, but she likes it and has no plans to move back to Scotland.
It looks like I'm stuck here. It's not all bad. I'm surrounded by all my favourite people, and I am very happy, even if I bitch about living here. It's just, #i'd rather stay in Scotland.

None :( Too many local businesses. TBH it wouldn't be right to try to anyway. Some stuff's been in the family for well over a century.

Thanks, although at the moment I'm not participating in it at all. My great uncle is in total charge, but he's around 83. We don't know who's going to take over when he dies or gives it up. It's just looking increasingly likely that it's going to skip a generation and go straight to my cousin, and I'll be roped into helping him run it. I would prefer not to be involved. I have my own business and that's more than enough for me, and I'm totally anonymous. I have severe social anxiety, and the last thing I can be bothered with is lots of the town gossiping about me. Especially as my Great Aunt and Great Uncle are such incedibly unpopular people in the area.

I would be behind the scenes. I wouldn't actually do work. The problem is that my Great Aunt and Great Uncle have quite a high profile, and whoever takes on their affairs will be well known.
They loved being the centre of attention and flashing their wealth everywhere. Both myself, and my cousin are the total opposite. Both of us would rather walk down the street and have nobody recognize us. Neither of us want to be thought of as big shots. We're both aspies. If people know you own large businesses they expect you to act in a certain way. Neither of us could possibly act in that way. We wouldn't even know how to :laugh:

Well, is there anyone else in the family who could take over these businesses? :toporly:
Well, is there anyone else in the family who could take over these businesses? :toporly:
That's why all of this is a big problem. There is nobody else. My aunts an only child, and so's my cousin. The plan was always for my cousins parents to take over for a good few years, and he'd have time to get used to things. Sadly, they're both old, have their own businesses, and have badly deteriorating health and don't feel capable of taking anything else on.
We don't really have a choice. We're just going to have to get on with things when the time comes. I just wish I didn't have to bother with it. Obviously we'll hire people who'll run things on a day to day basis.
I'm just lazy, and I would rather leave it to my cousin, but he doesn't want to do it himself, so I'll have to do the decent thing.

I'm just lazy, and I would rather leave it to my cousin, but he doesn't want to do it himself, so I'll have to do the decent thing.
Hey, with the right people running things under your supervision, it might not be so bad. Just keep your eyes on them at all times! :police:
Well, is there anyone else in the family who could take over these businesses? :toporly:
That's why all of this is a big problem. There is nobody else. My aunts an only child, and so's my cousin. The plan was always for my cousins parents to take over for a good few years, and he'd have time to get used to things. Sadly, they're both old, have their own businesses, and have badly deteriorating health and don't feel capable of taking anything else on.

The M in Texas A&M University stands for Mechanical, not Mining. It used to be called the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas many years ago.

Thank you for the correction. I knew that, my brain took a brief vacation. All the A&Ms came about from "Morrill Land-Grant College Act of July 2, 1862, which provided for the donation of public lands in a quantity equal to 30,000 acres for each senator and representative in Congress to a state for the establishment of at least one college "where the leading object shall be, without excluding other scientific and classical studies and including military tactics, to teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanic arts."" - Wikipedia.
It's late. Cheers is on. Haven't seen it or heard that theme in years and years.

I am excited to report that there is a whole cooking show marathon on this afternoon, followed up with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory tonight.
This fits in with my plans to cook a nice sloooow curry...and basically sit on the couch and be a slob for the rest of the day.

Clarkson is a very intelligent, witty and funny kinda guy. i love him to bits. His sarcastic comments really make me giggle. I could not, however, picture myself waking up next to it - for although he has some boyish charm and reels off one liners til the cows come home, he has got a face like a robber's dog!!!

I can't watch any novel I enjoyed made into a movie, with few exceptions. It always ruins it for me.Bladerunner is actually better than Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep and The Outlaw Josey Wales is better than Gone To Texas. Both are definitely exceptions to the rule. I can't imagine Ender Wiggins being portrayed well on a movie.

House - Lines In The Sand
The episode is about an Autistic kid he saves House makes references to envying him because he doesn't have to deal with the nonsense of social conventions. Later, Wilson tries to diagnose House as having Asperger's with Cuddy to help House get his way and get his old bloody carpet back. He reads from a diagnosis book and describes House's antisocial behavior exactly from the diagnosis. Ha ha! If I was to describe myself in general terms I would say go watch House.

She was named after THE Ripley, but I didn't name her. She had an owner who was abusing her when I "confiscated" her at the age of 5 months. She lost the deadbeat, but kept the name.

I agree, Ian is probably Aspie! I had a dream a couple of weeks ago that I was in the BB house with the current season's contestants and Ian and I were best buds, Shane hated me, and Danielle and I were shacking up. Looks like Shane is going next and then they will go after Ian. Jen needs to go. She'll get some jury votes.
I'm watching Louis Theroux' program about autism (again). At the moment with a tear in my eye, tbh. LFA kiddo Joey is having a violent tantrum and is hitting his sweet/very sympathetic mother. She can hardly handle the 13 y/o boy.
Mmmm, I've had quite a few tantrums (tot. frustrated) as a kiddo too but I never ever went violent towards my parents or sisters. But ja, I'm not LFA of course.

He was actually in Italy before the Romans. I was surprised to find out that the "Romans" (Rome didn't exist back then at all) settled down in Italy as late as 1000 B.C. In comparison Germanic or Proto-Germanic tribes settled in what is now Sweden 6000 years ago or even 10000 years ago.

I am curious just how that show is viewed in other parts of the world due to it being about US military and the somewhat dim view many have of it in other parts of the world. I know it's a crime show but they do touch on some sensitive subjects at times.
I'm watching 'Seven Pounds' on the telly at the moment (um, lousy commercial break now). Totally missed the beginning of the movie but stayed cause I saw Rosario Dawson on the screen and ja.. she's quite a sexy lady (imo).
Well, turns out the movie is a bit of a tearjerker.. and although not really a cry-baby.. I had to emo-swallow a couple of times.
Plus, since I missed the beginning.. I have no idea why, the character Will Smith plays, does what he does. An IRS agent goes philanthropic? Um, he now is going to try to fix her Heidelberg (press/printing machina).

Yes, they had that in the museum which was built where that happened. What impressed me the most was the building right where the bomb detonated. It was an exhibition hall before it was bombed.

Yeas, that building was left standing while everything for miles around was flattened/destroyed. I have been right up close to the building and while I was there they were doing some restoration work on it, I think it was crumbling and they want to keep that from happening.Yes, they had that in the museum which was built where that happened.

Persona (1966) [Ingmar Bergman] with eng. subtitles (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuVVlrM0hic#)
The doctor smokes at 19:40. I love it :laugh:
The sex talk in Persona is really lame, though. I don't think sex talk IRL was so lame in 1966, but maybe it wouldn't have passed the censorship if it had been more authentic.
I hadn't seen this before. I'm a bit pissed now. Typical for a Swedish film that the man is a weakling and the woman strong. The guy Max von Sydow is playing isn't BRAVE! :thumbdn:
And the enemy propaganda team is killed by Swedish machine gunfire, but Max and Liv are totally unhurt :facepalm2:

Dubio. My grandfather was born in 1920, and he told me some things they said in the 1920's, so I doubt very much that people were so lame when talking about sex in 1966.

I will probably watch a bit more of Top Gear (although I know the men here wish it was called Topless Gear with playboy bunnies as the drivers.) I imagine it's the sort of show that grows on you.

I tend to avoid those because I fly often and my OCD sometimes gets into overdrive with too many air crash investigations in my head. I remember one where the aircraft mechanic had taped over a sensor inlet resulting in the wrong data being fed into the flight computers and the plane crashing. I still obsessively check those inlets when boarding a plane because they tend to be clearly visible below the cockpit windows.

There is a huge Dr. Who fan base. Worldwide. I just don't really 'get' it.
However, Tom Baker is brilliant. I love his voice. Very distinctive. He does the intro on 'Little Britain' and sometimes presents 'Have I got News for You'. Tom Baker is a national treasure. :thumbup:
Agreed. You know, years ago I was a visitor at the BBC Center in Bristol. I had to sign a 'confidentiality' agreement about Dr. Who!
Was my visit in any way related to Dr. Who? Nope. The only thing I could see was a 'Dalek' in the reception area...WTF? Why does anyone give a shit about it?
Anyway, I have not discussed it (until now :zoinks:)

No, never. What is it about?
It's a show starring the actor who plays Hotch. It's a comedy.
I don't know if i would like to see a funny Hotch. If it comes on the telly I would have to have a gander, though, just because it's Hotch. There is also something called 'Homelands' which apparently casts another profiler from criminal minds. 'Gideon' he left in series 3 i think. Is 'Homelands' any good?
Since I downgraded to the cheapest cable plan, I have been watching Law and Order reruns round the clock! :tard:
That sounds like an excuse to stop postwhoring. :police:

Also find some of the handpan music quite fascinating, I must say.
Wow, that's pretty awesome. A lot more melodic than I was expecting.Yeah, kind of amazing what awesome music they can get out of an upside down wok or whatever they are.

On my break (from painting/coffee at hand) I'm watching 'Counting Cars'. Um, not this episode but in an other one Danny said in reply to something.. ' Amen, brother, man!'Ha! I can hear his voice in my head when I read that. I love that show. I want so badly to go see his work in person. He seems like a really cool guy. The whole crew is fun to watch.
.. and I just laughed my socks off..
(well, you had to be there, I suppose) (lol)
Yeah.. but what's with that Horny Mike fellow.. (nah, never mind).You and I have similar taste in cars!!! I agree wholeheartedly.
I particularly love US cars that were originally build in the 50s and 60s.. and to not pimp them like crazy but stay as close to how they're suppose to look like originally. They trying to do such, I mean.
Ja, show is cool.

Young Sheldon might be a regular watcher.
The Good Doctor (about a new surgical resident with Autism). Credible acting on Freddy Highsmore's part. And Richard Schiff is always intensely gruff.

I loved that BBC ? show where they put two teams in a junkyard and they had to construct a project from the items there.I had always thought that bodge was an Australian word. To "bodge something together" is how it's used.

Watched "The Cloverfield Paradox". I wish I hadn't.Just watched too. Also disappointed.
Wonder Woman. Much better than I thought it would be.It's not bad is it? I was expecting to have trouble sitting through it (like I usually do during movies) but I was entertained throughout.

Lip Sync Battle. The fact that Ben Kingsley agreed to be on the show is hilarious.
Yes. There's episodes on YouTube. The host is LL Cool J and there are two stars. They lip sync one song normally and then the next song they have backup dancers and a set change and whatnot and go all out, and then the audience chooses who was best overall. It's only 30 mins long but most times it's comical. It's one of my go to shows when I (rarely) watch tv and can just put my brain in a box and not have to concentrate very hard on content. :PLip Sync Battle. The fact that Ben Kingsley agreed to be on the show is hilarious.

I watched Theory of Everything last night. I couldn't get over how well Eddie Redmayne did in playing Hawking.
Yeah, I enjoyed the movie, but I really was most spellbound by his performance. I read an interview with Stephen's first wife Jane and she said she walked onto the set one day when they were filming their early years and she was blown away when she saw Eddie because "it was like there was Stephen, standing right there in front of me like he did all those years ago."I watched Theory of Everything last night.

The End of the F***ing World is a British dark comedy-drama television programme, based on a graphic novel of the same name by Charles Forsman. The eight-part programme premiered its first episode on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom on 24 October 2017, after which all eight episodes were released on All 4. It was a co-production with Netflix, who released it internationally on 5 January 2018. The programme follows James (Alex Lawther), a 17-year-old who believes himself to be a psychopath, and Alyssa (Jessica Barden), a rebellious classmate who sees in James a chance to escape from her tumultuous home life. Gemma Whelan, Wunmi Mosaku, Steve Oram, Christine Bottomley, Navin Chowdhry, and Barry Ward appear in supporting roles.
The show is based on Forsman's mini-comics The End of the Fucking World, which were collected into a book in 2013. Series creator Jonathan Entwistle contacted him about making a film, and a short was made in 2014. Instead, an eight-part serial was commissioned, with filming beginning in April 2017. It was written by Charlie Covell, and episodes were directed by Entwistle and Lucy Tcherniak. In August 2018, Channel 4 renewed the programme for a second series.
The programme has been met with critical acclaim, and has been praised for its writing, execution and subject matter, as well as for Lawther and Barden's performances. It was nominated for the 2018 British Academy Television Award for Best Drama Series.[1]
Watched "Shazam" on the plane while crossing the Atlantic. Not brilliant but entertaining.

It's more of a kids/teens movie. I saw it with my kids at the cinema and we absolutely loved it.
If I saw it by myself on an airplane I wouldn't have enjoyed it nearly as much.
Maybe that's the mark of a really good movie, if it's still good when you the first time you watch it is on an airplane.
Decent Films gave the film an "A-" grade, saying "Stations of the Cross is among the most insightful and devastating cross-examinations of religious fundamentalism that I have ever seen, certainly in a Catholic context. The film is not so much an attack on faith or religion, but an examination of how faith goes wrong."And here are some more notes from Wikipadia:
Maria (Lea van Acken), is a 14-year-old Catholic girl in a religiously fanatic family who has dedicated her life to serving God. She is preparing with a group of young people for confirmation in a southern German town. Their church belongs to the Society of St Paul that rejects the more secular rulings of the Second Vatican Council, and holds to the Latin mass. Learning of the 14 Stations of the Cross that Jesus endured on his path to Golgotha, she thinks that this is what she also must go through in order to reach Heaven, and potentially cure her younger brother's autism.
...
The fictitious Society of St Paul is based on the Society of Saint Pius X, a traditional Catholic Church organization of which the German co-writer Anna Brüggemann, and her director brother Dietrich Brüggemann, had first hand experience.
A couple of people on this board were recently speculating that the horrors of WW2 had left a lasting imprint on the American psycheNo doubt about that.
A couple of people on this board were recently speculating that the horrors of WW2 had left a lasting imprint on the American psycheNo doubt about that.
But proportional to its population, AFAIK the US lost significantly less lives than any other major combatant. In fact, the world lost about 2.5% of its population in the war and the US lost about 0.3% (by my rough calculations).
Not saying the horrors weren't real for the US. But with a slightly larger population the Soviet Union lost about 60 times as many lives. It was horrible all over.
I remember my uncle, who fought the Japanese in Papua New Guinea, telling me about how the Aussies were living on the most basic, barely palatable army rations while the American servicemen had plenty of cash and fresh food including things like tomatoes.

Long Lost Family. I can only watch it with the SO isn't around. He's adopted and I know he has zero interest in finding his birth family.This stuck a chord with me, cos my Dad was the same. Couldn't blame him. He had scars all over his body when he came to Nan, as a toddler, on account of physical abuse (by stepmother, as it transpired) , He knew he's had an older brother and older sister, but felt bitter towards them because they hadn't bothered to trace him, as he supposed.
Very true, you really don't ever know until you find it out for yourself. SO was lucky in that he was adopted by a wonderful family. But he was given up at birth and in his mind he wasn't wanted and that has prevented him from seeking out his birth Mum. He knows he has an older brother. I told him I would look if he ever felt ready but he has a bio daughter (whom I adore) and that seems to be enough for him. He needed one person he felt blood connected to in the world to feel okay.Long Lost Family. I can only watch it with the SO isn't around.

His siblings actually had tried and tried, but it wasn't so easy back in those days, especially not in the event that his new parents had changed his forename as well as his surname. My sister took it on herself to track them down, just a few years before Dad died. And he died a happier and much less bitter man after hearing his older sister's story (the brother was dead by then, sadly)

It is not easy to play this game.
I mean, even being petty can count as a distracting humorous thought for a moment. For instance, did you know that not only Madonna but Justin Bieber have canceled concert tours. Yes, I lower myself for a few ticks and tocks. Knowing how to spell "Bieber" disturbs me at first, but you have to use the talents you have striven to perfect.

I hadn't watched it since the early 80s. My sister and I had the giant Eagle 1 spaceship. I am actually enjoying it in 2020, but given my background as a theoretical physicist studying astronomy and the workings of the Universe, it is pretty far fetched the Moon left the Milky Way from a nuclear blast from the stored nuclear waste. They'd be going so fast, they'd never have a chance to explore these planets they keep coming up on. That being said, and suspending the disbelief, it is kinda fun. They do have a bit of trouble with the way they advance the plot too quickly with aha moments way too early and before they have enough data and information. I also wonder why the keep getting printouts from the computer. How much paper did they store onboard Moon Base Alpha?

We've been watching the first season of The Magicians. A bit gory for my liking but I'm enjoying the story.
Started watching a series - Lucifer.
The election results, it's a trainwreck in slow motion. :bigcry:

With endless reruns but no end. :GA:
How many times have you heard the word "Pennsylvania" today?
Incidentally, Pennsylvania is named after William Pencil, the inventor of the pencil. True story.

Ahhh...no.
That wasn't what I learned anyway. :laugh:
William Penn, a Quaker was given the deed by King Charles II...he settled it with a group of other Quakers in an attempt to avoid the religious persecution they had been subjected to back in England.
He wanted to name it Sylvania...which means in Latin..."of the forst" or "woodlands".
King Charles II dubbed it Pennsylvania....ie: Penn's woods
It was nicknamed "The Keystone State" because it was the middle colony of the original 13 colonies.
...or you can refer to it as Pennsyltucky like I do most days. :zoinks:

^That looks worth a watch. :)It's such a good watch, ended up watching the whole series again. Can't wait until series 2 comes out.
American PickersI've seen an episode of American Pickers. Geez, people keep entire barns full of junk! And then they drive a hard bargain when it comes to selling it!
I've seen an episode of American Pickers. Geez, people keep entire barns full of junk! And then they drive a hard bargain when it comes to selling it!Hoarding is a mental disorder often triggered by trauma. Not only do they believe their possessions have unrealistic value, but also don't really want to get rid of it. The inside of their home probably looks similar to the barn.

I am a hoarder, flat out, no question.Occasionally watch that show too, but have to avoid the ones about hoarding animals. Sometimes think the show picks certain cases for the shock value. People who live in garbage and fecal squalor don't strike as hoarders and seem to have different problems than people who are disabled by acquiring and keeping too much. See these tendencies in husband but there are designated spaces where it's tolerated, and a minimalist paired with a hoarder balances to appearing somewhat normal. :laugh:
I would say I struggle, but most of the time I'm too busy/lazy reading to do anything about it. I'm in a productive mood right now (about 3 or 4 days a year), so hopefully I can stretch it for more days. I watched Hoarders for years and it did help me some, but not enough to make a difference.
At least I've differentiated between cleaning the house and clearing the house. I have to clear my house before I can clean my house. (I just made a mini breakthrough. I changed the "the" to "my" in the preceding sentence.) Small step to taking ownership of "my" situation.
Youtube clips. It's all I can bother with.Sometimes when we sit down with dinner, Kayleigh asks what I want to watch. A lot of the time I say just YouTube clips. It's all I can be bothered with. I don't want to have to fix my attention on something for too long.

Finished Season 3 of Luther

MSNBC and their summation of the trial. Some republican supporters of trumpolini are wavering. But, the A'hole from Missouri, hawley, sits at his desk doodling. The footage and vocal recordings are clear........trumpolini tried a "beer hall putsch". Except like Mussolini, he's even a worse incompetent.

The evidenced is indeed damning. Of course, the Republicans will acquit him anyway. It's what they do.
Getting bored of watching US politics now. It's like watching other peoples kids kids fuck around. You want to wsay something but your waiting for their parents to step in and take control. And you're waiting. And you;re waiting. And you;re waiting...
FOR FUCK SAKE TAKE FUCKING CONTROL OF YOUR BRATS - THEY'RE THROWING THEIR OWN SHIT AT PASSING TRAFFIC!

I figure it will take about three months to fully switch over, but I'm so glad there's a new president to complain about. :woohoo:

Or just ignore. The last four years of American "politics" has been a shitshow like never before. This one might just do his job so people can focus on other things. Heck, even George W managed to just do his job every once in a while.
I doubt US obsession will stop being other county's pastime just because Trump is gone. :lol1:

3 brand new episodes of The Handmaids Tale. Certainly leaves one with an uplifting mood before bed....Not :kapow:
That's pretty good.
Just started on The Witcher. Liking it a lot so far.

I have watched the commercials for The Foundation series......it looks like they have. I loved the trilogy as well and read and reread it so many times. I have it mostly memorized.

I loved the books, too. Really wondering if I should watch the series.
I'm watching "Y - The Last Man".Was thinking of watching it. Any good?
We're 6 episodes in and the only living man on the earth hasn't got laid once. That would be my luck.

It's hard to say. Gender completely aside, if half of the population were suddenly gone then things might break down fairly quickly. Might watch the first episode this weekend and see if it captivates.I'm watching "Y - The Last Man".Was thinking of watching it. Any good?

You have to really take your brain offline to watch it. Personally I reckon women would keep shit together without men longer than a couple of weeks before it all went Mad Max. I'm assuming that this was written by a man and he intended to pitch it to Fox first.
Young Sheldon on NetflixWelcome back.
Crazy kat screensaver on rokuHave been thinking of trying Roku. Like it?
