Dear Movie Studios, If I buy or rent a movie, be it DVD or BluRay, why must I be bombarded with stupid previews that I don’t want to see? I can understand it at the theater. Fine. That’s how people find out about the absolute latest movies and future movies. The previews on discs are for old things. Who cares? I got the disc because I wanted to watch the MOVIE. Not the stupid shit [...]
As some of you may know, I got my fancy new TV yesterday. In the dictionary, under the word “awesome” … there is a picture of this TV. Go ahead and look it up… I’ll wait. See, told you so. Moving right along to seriousness. This TV really is quite spectacular. But let’s back up a bit… if you remember a week or so ago, I posted about ordering my new TV. I ordered through [...]
What is going on with Netflix? Do they just hate me? Do they not want to send me the movies I want? Am I watching movies too fast? The top 4 movies in my queue are either Long Wait or Very Long Wait (3 of them are the latter). Yes, they’re recent movies… but come on. You can’t tell me THAT many people still are watching Funny People. It came out like 3 weeks ago! [...]
There’s something about Mad Men on AMC. I can’t stop watching it. It’s not like it is any crazy, action-filled show of madness and intensity. I don’t know if it is the writing or the actors. Is the story that good? Are they selling it that well? Strange because it often feels slow moving and boring. Then they just broadside you or something and I’m dragged back in. Can’t… stop… it. Maybe it is because [...]
So I’m a car person… I think that’s fairly obvious. I’m not the most educated or knowledgeable about cars. I haven’t always been a car person. But I like cars…. I think is what I’m trying to get at. I also like movies about cars. Some are better than others. Then there are some that are just so bad… they’re actually a lot of fun to watch. I’m talking about the Fast and the Furious [...]
The value of my PS3 has already increased significantly… or at least as much as the value of my (now) useless DVD player. Even with the PS3 taking over DVD upconverting duties from my (very recently purchased) DVD player, I still was leary of getting rid of it… mostly for its ability to brilliantly and easily play my entire collection of movies and TV shows on my computer. Only catch was I had to put [...]
When I upgraded my receiver a couple months ago, I didn’t go for the lowest possible one I could use… I figured I’d eventually want some more expansion abilities and went for the next step up. Good thing. I now have 3 different sources connected via HDMI and another pair of devices connected through component HD cables. Jen thinks I’m crazy. I tell her it’s worth it. Oh wait.. what am I rambling about? Jen [...]
