Random Non-Political Thoughts

So, McDonald’s now his it’s own $5 meal, with a small drink, small fries, 4 piece nuggets, and either a McDouble or McChicken. But, how does this stack up to the Wendy’s meals? To get the same for the burger you need to get the $6 biggie bag. Fries: when they’re done right, McDonald’s is […]

Hollywood Is Forgetting To Put ‘Climate Change’ In Movies Or Something

Hollywood is already having enough problems in putting out good movies that people want to see. People are leery about paying all the money to go see movies that can have all sorts of Woke garbage in them. And that the ideas are pretty repetitive. So, hey, yeah, let’s add climate cult business into it […]

Bummer: Very Few Top Movies Mention Climate Doom

Well, why should they? What if they have nothing to do with global boiling? Are they supposed to just interject the cult for the heck of it? Just randomly have a character make a Speech? Only 32 of the Top Movies in the Last Decade Say Climate Change Exists — Study Last month, non-profit group […]

It’s been awhile since I did a post on books and video. Thought I would try and get back to that. Books wise I finished Echoes From the Moon (The Token Book One) by Nathan Hystad Nurse Alissa vs. the Zombies X: Endgame by Scott M. Baker. Satisfactory ending to the series. Not particularly memorable, […]

My Netflix Thoughts

I recently changed my T-Mobile plan, which gets Netflix free. I was excited, because it gives me another movie and show outlet, and I love watching movies. It’s the basic plan, which means only 720p, which I can live with. Only one stream at a time, I’m OK with that. No commercials. But, would it […]

Hollywood Seems Surprised That Highbrow Films Meant To Win Oscars Don’t Do Well

There’s a couple problems with making these films. First, those highbrow films aren’t really that good. They’re no better than lots of independent films that end up going right to streaming. Although, some of those low budget indies are actually good. They’re just missing that certain something (sometimes it’s money, sometimes experience, maybe something else) […]

Soundbar: Samsung HW-Q700A 3.1.2 With Dolby Atmos

This is the fourth soundbar I’ve tried. I gave the Vizio M512a-H6, which is a 5.1.2, a try. It went back. I did not like how the voice was really centered , was distracting. Plus, the volume was problematic. Then the LG SP8YA. It went back. Same centered voice issue. Then the Philips B8405, which […]
