Even if they keep the same creative team, it's most likely not gonna come that close to repeating that kinda success anyway. Its incredible success may simply be due largely to some rather unique, contextual, pent-up demand for exactly some version of this and might not be remotely repeatable...

I wrote that back in March. Guess there's not much hope for that better, more enticing deal coming... unless maybe Amex offers it instead... :P Ah well, probably just gonna do a month at some point for House of the Dragon and a few other exclusives. There really seems not much on the service...

Just realized there will be the Summer Olympics this summer... and it'll be on Peacock again, so there's that. Probably will be the most I ever use it, heh, as I also did for the last Winter Olympics. :P _Man_

Disservice? Do you still find the audio very satisfying? That's probably what matters most. But... sure, why not upgrade the audio if you're spending well over $3K on the display... if you can afford to do so? I'd probably start w/ better speakers, probably especially better subwoofer as...

Hmmm... seems like I actually haven't received any since Jan. Had thought it was more recent than that... _Man_

Let's face it. Skynet is coming, LOL! :P;):laugh::laugh::laugh::rolling-smiley: _Man_

In fairness, they are getting "better", ie. more human-like, and you were probably just (far) more amused than anything to (care to) pay all that much attention to that aspect -- and this is true in other respects about AI/bot usage too... I'd say there really could be some real (but not...

Meanwhile, sadly, (increasingly many) some seem to want (even demand) us to forget much going forward (instead of learning from the past w/out necessarily canceling it) in the name of progress... :huh: _Man_

So maybe see Furiosa an extra time and save this for D+? :P Too bad it doesn't look like the No Way Home re-release this week is the extended version -- I still have never seen that version yet... although I'm apparently in the minority for not really loving NWH, so... :P Think I'm also gonna...

Hmmm.... Maybe I should try Alamo Drafthouse (near Wall St) instead of Regal (at Union Square), especially since I already missed the weekend window for a good crowd... Interestingly, just noticed that even Alamo apparently started doing value Tues too these days. Unfortunately, the prime...

True dat... although at least some of their (but maybe not Sony's) recent uses of AI probably contributed to bloated budgets. Didn't much of the age-related CG manipulations of recent big budget movies like Indy 5 and Furiosa use AI for such or am I mistaken? Of course, there's usually a lot...

Oh, hmmm... it's another NetFlix film? Guess this might not show up at an AMC theater again (at least over here in NYC)... It's showing up at one Regal and some Alamo Drafthouse around here on top of The Paris, of course, which NetFlix operates specifically for such... Maybe I'll try to catch...

Yeah, I realized that maybe a couple weeks into my membership I think, so I've been doing just that (and usually make sure I use up all 3 allotments every week, LOL). But I've forgotten to actually use my Fandango rewards a few times before they expired, especially earlier on, heh... But yeah...

Maybe I should just use all 3 of my AMC A-List allotments to see Furiosa on premium screens again this week, LOL. I was considering The Dead Don't Hurt and Young Woman and the Sea for the other 2 -- probably not interested enough in In a Violent Nature (and most of the rest), which I passed...

I almost never use Peacock... and now, even less so since they decided not to broadcast any Sunday MLB games this summer... Too bad I forgot to look into my (annual) subscription situation before it auto-renewed very end of last year... :P _Man_

Yeah, probably (waaay) overkill if that's all you do (unless your video files are straight rips from 4K discs or the like perhaps). _Man_

Get a more comfy (enough), perhaps reasonably reclinable, chair, haha! That's definitely what I'd do in your case. :cool: _Man_

Wait. You're just using a 42" 4K monitor to watch movies from your computer? Presumably, you're not 2.5m away when actually doing "computing" stuff (on that size monitor), so why sit that far away for watching movies? OR do you actually not use that monitor for computing at all? _Man_

Yeah, definitely don't understand why people would hate the actors in that way, especially for a character like Jar Jar, not just the characters or narratives (or whatever perceived hidden agendas), NVM whether they get particularly aggressive/hostile in doing so... but I guess at least some of...

I agree they shouldn't worry about that, but they did also spend so much to make Furiosa, so I could maybe see them not wanting to take any (further) risk on that at all. Of course, the young people who originally saw Azkaban during/around its original release are all adults now (and some might...

^I (and probably some in my extended family) would probably go see Prisoner of Azkaban at a good re-release screening, especially since I have AMC A-List these days, if they do that here. There isn't exactly a whole lot else particularly good (and new-ish) around now I'd rather see instead. I...

Hope there's a good 4K disc release here at least by end of summer... _Man_

FWIW, if you have a 27" monitor for your desktop computer, which has become fairly common nowadays, and sit a typical 2-2.5ft away, you're probably already experiencing viewing angles we're talking about in the 43-to-52-degree range, so that could give you some readily available, real world...

^Ouch! Seemed like Means just barely completed his recovery and finally returned to prior form from TJS just 2 years ago. And Wells also had TJS several years ago before reaching the Show (and finally seemed to be coming into his own last year or so)... At this rate, every team might only...

Wait. He actually mentioned @Joe Wong's "pilgrimage" in his reward acceptance speech or something??? _Man_

I probably need to finally revisit Fury Road (as it's been a very long time), but offhand, I probably actually like Furiosa better... and will definitely see it again on a premium screen -- I was dead center in 2nd row at the Times Square AMC's Dolby screen, which felt perfect (and pretty much...

Not quite sure why I never bought the old Shout BD of No Way Out, but will definitely remedy that w/ this Kino release (assuming it equals or surpasses the quality of that old BD)... _Man_

Probably sit something like 3-7ft from you 42.5" display, heh... https://www.projectorscreenstore.com/viewing-distance-calculator.html For me, I'd have to sit about 3-3.5ft from that size display. My current viewing angle at home (for 120" FP) is ~47 degrees, which would require ~3.5ft from...

I guess part of the problem is the original rule makers/writers for that rule felt/believed they don't want to rely on umpire judgment of intent (or the like). Unless they change/update that rule, the runner probably needs to get back to base faster to establish he's already standing on the...

Well, that just might put a stop to my consideration to switch to Apple/Mac in the near-ish future, heh... but will one have to repurchase all/most Windoze software to use an ARM-based Windoze PC/laptop/surface? And what's the foreseeable future 3rd party software support landscape looking like...
