New Cloverfield movie that was shown during the Superbowl for the first time is premiering tonight on Netflix after the game. What a baller move from Netflix. Excited to watch it. There was a rumor they were going to do this with Punisher after showing the first episode at the NY Comic Con, but tha...

I have a Korner system. Its essentially an internet connected version of the $10 chirpers you can buy at Home Depot. An alarm fob plugs in to your router, then you stuck a little tag on each door and window. You can arm/disarm/and be notified via their web app. The cost to connect thru their servers...

I went to lease o...

i have the t-mobile free version of the above Asus router and I highly recommend it. guest network and ability to easily set up a VPN connection to your home network are my favorite things. from my phone I can easily connect to my home network and pull files off my server. its also consistent enough...

will there ever be a time where you can stream new releases for paying a fee rather than going to theater? with enough money you can now (google Prima Cinema) beyond that Hollywood doesn't know what to do. they kind of want to experiment more with that, but they still rely on the theaters as partne...

Without even reading the article my immediate thought was anti-trust. EA is too big. The idea of shutting out Playstation, Nintendo, Steam, iOS, and Android would really have to weigh heavily on a regulator.

I knew that most digital files delivered to theaters were 2K. And I also knew that most source files for UHD bluray are 2K. But I didn't know until right now why. Its because of GCI. Even when something is shot a 4K it is downrez'd to 2K for effects work. Rendering Transformers and third acts of Mar...

yes.

they have chips in each end, and each connector is labeled as source or display. the chips pull in more power from the source and try to stabilize and error correct the signal.

it allows for longer cable runs or to use thinner wire for short runs.

before you go drilling holes in walls connect everything locally and make sure the splitter works. hdmi is terrible, and splitters can wreck everything. get an active hdmi cable coming out of the splitter for the long run. redmere is one branded technology to look for. thats what i use coming out of...

Lion's two claims to fame are that they featured Doug Aldrich (future Whitesnake guitarist) and sang the metalized theme song to the insane 1986 Transformers animated movie

im currently on day 5 of my stupid idea to clean up all my music metadata and file names. 1400+ albums. im using musicbrainz picard. a little bit of a learning curve but its pretty good once you get used to it. best is finding some gems i forgot i had, like Lion's Dangerous Attraction and the Vinnie...

At Best Buy today to get new phones. While we were there, I picked up an Audio Technica AT-LP120-USB turntable. It was a lot of fun to set up, brought back some memories. Of course it's a cheap knockoff, but it's certainly not bad for what it is. I broke it in this afternoon, while we set up our ph...

yea. i havent set emulators on kodi up, but i know that was a major feature in the newest version. that would allow you to set up the library with all the cool images and metadata.

would it be possible to use an emulator through google play on my Sony Android TV? I don't know why it wouldn't work, but I honestly have no idea how to go about trying something like that. Any ideas? that should work, and you should probably be able to do some really cool stuff through kodi in the...

Spielberg was a producer on three of those. But beyond having a throwaway cameo in Blues Brothers he had nothing really to do with it.

He was buddies with Landis, but completely let him take the blame for the Twilight Zone fiasco

that would bring me to my next question

in an electric smoker, exactly how much wood is necessary? i always see "not soo much that it over powers the food" but i dont know what that point would be.

did you ever try using the chuck? I considered pork shoulder too.

I'm going to walk up to Wholey's and see what they have if we ever get a day above freezing to go for a walk.

I'd like to make burnt ends for the Steelers game this Sunday, but from my research online it looks like it might be difficult, if not outrageously expensive, to acquire just the point. I haven't really shopped for brisket before but I assume people usually buy the entire ~10 pound slab. While I cou...

The Nolans were involved, to some level, with Man of Steel. It was supposedly Jonathan's pitch to WB that got the ball rolling and they were listed as producers.

The QC on these was fantastic. Everything I've ever read has been to the contrary, but good for you guys. In December 2014 I thought my 50" Panasonic TC-P50S1 was going bad, and knowing that Best Buy and Amazon had just got the final shipments of Samsung F8500 plasmas (the last great plasma) I orde...

theyre notorious for buttons wearing out, so 2010 is impressive. my basement 650 is just about 2.5 years old and its going.

For a winter project I started on a large scale media metadata clean up. I've used several metadata managers over the years in addition to the built-in scrapers from various software. Movies went pretty well. Now I'm trying to figure out the most efficient way to tackle music. Any suggestions? Media...

My well meaning wife bought an Echo Dot for the bedroom, not realizing it wasn't compatible with the Google Home system through the rest of the house. Still though it can connect to all the same systems so we can adjust the thermostat before getting out of bed and turn a bunch of lights on and off. ...

i got excited for a second and thought you either meant saludos amigos or the three caballeros

Cinemark's recliners are about $8-14, depending on day and time.
