home theater, cord cutting, video streaming, a/v tech, and more!
I love my Apple TV. The video quality is so much better than the Fire TV I was using before. I sold off all of my DVDs, around 1500, last year. Kept the blu rays and still keep buying more of them and 4Ks. Streaming is fine, but as someone who rewatches movies a lot, I like to own them rather than d...

Randomness Dos
My spazzy dog who is terrified of loud noises decided he had to go outside at 11:59. I didn't even realize what time it was so I let him out, then I too went to take a leak. As soon as I started going, someone must have shot a block of tannerite. The boom was so loud my house shook. I'm surprised my...

Don't forget that HBO (or Max) has been removing some HBO original content and farming it out to other services/ad supported streamers. They shipped Westworld off just a couple weeks after the series finale aired.Doesn't that include CNN and Discovery? I don't want those.

Streaming companies (aside from Netflix) lose billions in 2023. It's almost like fracturing the streaming market and every studio trying to have their own streaming service was a bad idea. Who would have thunk it... The world’s largest traditional entertainment companies face a reckoning in 2024 aft...

Yeah, I won't be surprised if the streamer make ad free programming prohibitively expensive in the coming years. Just like traditional TV, the ads are there the money is at.

Looks like Prime is going to add commercials/ads to their programming. Or you can pay $3 a month for an "ad free experience."

I received The Goonies on 4K for Christmas and gave it a watch for the first time in probably 35 years. Man, I must have watched the hell out of that movie when I was a kid because I remembered every single thing that happened and probably 50% of the dialogue. I had mixed feelings about it watching ...

Blackjack's Thread of Illness and Ailments
Just found out a friend of mine tested positive for COVID today. She was at my house for about 30 min Weds. Andy idea how long I reasonably need to wait before I'll know whether or not I'm in the clear.

I subscribe to Netflix (for a few more days), Paramount+, Max, Hulu, and Shudder. Maybe something else that I'm forgetting too. Yet, 80% of the time, when I look for a specific "catalog" movie, it's not available on any of those services and is usually only available to rent. Blows my mind.

i actually wouldn't argue that the highest law position in the land should get some more cash. 300K in DC isn't a lot. It's not nothing, but still. Our county judges in Mercer County get like 150+ I think The POTUS gets $400K. I know it's not huge money for a lawyer, but I don't buy that it's not e...

This doesn't do anything. Unfortunately, what it does is feed directly into the Republican/Fox News/far right propaganda that the courts are crooked and the Democrats are stealing elections. And with Biden's approval ratings dropping by the day, it's just going to push more people in other states w...

Those poor SC justices, struggling to get by on almost $300,000 a year. My heart aches for them.
If the pay is so awful, you wouldn't think they'd keeping holding onto those jobs like grim death.

Exactly. They all wanted Epstein's money and connections. Were some of them pervs? Absolutely. Were most? Highly, highly doubtable.A man who had that much cache was bound to get the ear of many different people even if just to hear a pitch.

Fetterman is a sort of Sherrod Brown type that cuts traditional cultural polarization. He's a candidate that will do well to keep the margins reasonable in the rural PA counties. I didn't read your post before I made mine. It's interested that you mentioned Brown as he's one of my favorite (not tha...

This is really weird with him just coming out and saying "I am not a progressive", but his entire campaign was progressive. I wonder what happened... what changed? I think (speculating) that he's just saying that he isn't 100% married to any political agenda and is willing to stand against the thro...

A great flick.saw the original Black Christmas for the first time. Only one eye-roll scene which is pretty good for a horror movie
I’d rank it as one of my favorite horror films. It was very well done
The director also made A Christmas Story and Porky's.

What time do you eat dinner?
Usually 5 to 5:30, but closer to 5 most days. Some days as late at 6, but rarely any later.
