Yeah, I’ve seen a fair amount of toxicity elsewhere. I always crack me up when the pros (self-ascribed and otherwise) get bent out of shape over a new 4K that looks beautiful while in motion but may look less than stellar when paused and go into the bit rates and nitpicking and and and. And I’m like, well, who the hell watches these movies just one frame at a time? 😂 I know there’s all kinds of technical whatsits to be explored, but that’s not where I’m at. That said, even I could tell Terminator 2 looked pretty janky. 😂 And likewise with my new little vinyl hobby. Yeah, I’m not a pro, and I’ve seen redditors ragging on others with my system because it’s entry-level, but… that’s where I’m at. I don’t need anything more than this little mainstream doohickey for the masses. It sounds good to me, and I’m having fun with it, and it didn’t cost me thousands of dollars and require a new room to be built. 😂 As for RSD, I’m keeping my fingers crossed! My local shop is supposed to put their list up tonight for what to expect. Worst case scenario, I just have to wait a bit for the iTunes release of the new Garbage EP. That’s not a bad first world problem to have. And thanks, man, I appreciate it. If any questions occur to me, I will certainly hit you up! Happy shopping tomorrow! I hope we get to see your haul.

Audio-Technica AT-LP60X. Snob away and judge me! (But to my ears, and as a vinyl no-nothing newbie, it works pretty well hooked up to my receiver and was decently priced.)

I'm keeping my fingers crossed I'm able to grab a copy of the new Garbage EP tomorrow, too. I've only just gotten a record player, so this will be my first RSD. I'm excited!

Okie dokie! 👍 (god, I hope it’s not a long wait for the next season…)

Bummer. I was really looking forward to The Movie Critic and dug the premise. But I also wish Quentin wasn’t calling it quits after his tenth flick…

Seriously. It seems like they only have WB now. Otherwise, I just don’t understand why it seems like they’re doing everything in their power to not announce Oppenheimer after teasing it last year. And what happened with their discless CP line? Feels like an age since they announced anything for that, too. I wonder what’s going on over there.

Thanks, man. Hopefully they release some details on what the Amazon exclusive actually is, but right now it’s about $10 bucks cheaper than the standard 4K release, so I’m happy to lock that price in. If JW4 was any indication, Amazon’s edition is only going to get more expensive. 😂

Just hopefully with less singing. 🤣

I haven't watched it yet, but for another take on Liu Cixin's material, season one of the Chinese adaptation is on Amazon Prime and runs for 30 episodes. I think that covers only book 1 in the trilogy, but should be quite a deeper dive than the Netflix. I'm interested in checking it out, but... 30 episodes. Good lord. I've gotten spoiled by the 8-12 episode seasons! 🤣

They changed up quite a lot from the book character-wise. In the book, the detective primarily works with a single male scientist. That one scientists has been divided up into four or five characters for the show, one of which is partly inspired by a character introduced in book two, which I'm reading now (and nearly finished with). They're very dense books, but well worth it, I think. Lots of big ideas in them.

‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Renewed for Season 4; ‘Lower Decks’ to Conclude With Season 5 (EXCLUSIVE) Nice to see Strange New Worlds renewed (I was expecting it, but good to have confirmation), but given Discovery and Lower Decks both axed after five seasons I'm guessing SNW won't be long for this world following season 4. Looks like 5 years is the new Trek show standard.

‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Renewed for Season 4; ‘Lower Decks’ to Conclude With Season 5 (EXCLUSIVE)

‘Monarch: Legacy of Monsters’ Renewed for Season 2, Multiple Spinoffs in the Works at Apple TV+ Great news, IMO. Season 1 was damn good stuff.

Holy crap! They better not screw this up.

Thank you, sir! Get some rest, you've earned it! I wonder what you guys will be cooking up for us next year...

‘Megalopolis’: After Wild Speculation, What Exactly Is So ‘Bats—’ About Francis Ford Coppola’s Opus? "Batshit" and "unconcerned with conventional storytelling"??? OK, I'm sold! Bring it on, Francis!

Robert Eggers’ ‘Nosferatu’ Debuts Terrifying Trailer at CinemaCon With Bleeding Necks, Scurrying Rats and Unseen Evil

Looks good to me! I was interested beforehand but the trailer definitely sealed the deal. The musical elements should make for an interesting expansion and commentary on Joker’s psychosis, IMO. After the first movie, this creative team has definitely earned their fair share of trust, I think.

@extantsrevenge for one-click consideration:

@extantsrevenge and these two fully-loaded motherboxes should be enough to net me the Treasure Hunter award, as well, right?
