Sunday Books And Video

This past weeks stuff Movies Code 8 part 2 – good Black Crab – interesting Godzilla (2014) Hercules (2014) Meh. Surprised I made it through Phantasm Remastered – great as always. Might have to pay for Phantasm 2, no one ever has it free The Hollow – turned that off. Very silly, too much Generic […]

Sunday Books And Video

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, […]

Learn To Code: Hollywood Actors Join Writers Strike, Say They Can’t Make Money

So the actors guild have joined the writers strike, and many have failed to learn the lesson from the fast food folks who pushed for $15 an hour (then $18, $21, $25) ‘It’s a constant hustle’: Hollywood actors join writers on the picket line It’s been a hot, frustrating summer on the picket lines in […]

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 […]

Miscellaneous: Vizio Soundbar And Latest James Bond Movie

I’ve had the same 2.1 Samsung soundbar since about 2014, though it was time for a new one. The sound is OK, good for TV shows, OK for movies, not quite as immersive. I’d love to be able to use my Bose 301 speakers with the stereo, but, have to use a converter, change a […]

Wonder Woman 1984 Is All About Climate Crisis (scam) Or Something

This is, again, what is called Climarette’s, similar to Tourette’s, but, while the latter is a natural disorder, the former is driven by mental illness from the beliefs of a doomsday cult, where they just cannot help dragging their cult into everything ‘Wonder Woman 1984’: Patty Jenkins Says the Movie Is Secretly About ‘Climate Change’ […]

Oscars Will Now Require “Diversity”

Why yes, the ubur-white elitists in Hollywood think that minorities, especially blacks, cannot succeed without their helpful hand Want an Oscar? Better be inclusive. Academy to make diversity requirements part of awards eligibility.
