That was fast! Weren’t we > 13,000 views short of reaching the 3 million viewership mark as of just yesterday?

achieving that 3 millón milestone means I can take some time off (posting) in August/September!

My wife and I won’t be heading over to Amsterdam to attend IBC this year, as in the past, but for those readers who are, press Dominic - https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...c#post16564888

to go deep dive and think during his session by asking him how bakelite was of value for Toy Story 4.

As I’ll be around these parts during the time of IBC –



but if I remember to, I’ll pop in here to at least say hi.

Anyone? or do I need to post a framegrab from the trailer

nobody, yet?
hint, the cast member is a female aviator
diversity, be it gender, ethnicity, etc. is good

P.S.
full disclosure: as to referencing her brother, I do have a documented soft spot in my heart for USC, e.g. -

Oh…..stupid me
On 2nd thought, I guess you were probably referring to unique (discrete) contributors to the thread. Well, it is a bit intimidating to think that such a huge audience is tuning in to this thread daily to hear only you, me and a handful of other inspired souls wax on regularly.

Cutting edge nuggets of info have been tossed out here and there - https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...e#post16445932 for which you won’t find posted by any AV reporter as they are not practioners, but it might help though if Waboman would have a heathier breakfast - https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...t#post16043142 so as to chime in more often. Sheesh, we've given him utility poles, steel beams, etc., must I come out with a Venice on a go kart next?

P.S.
All things considered, I think it is rather amazing that given the relatively low number of discrete contributors as compared to the more chat-room type threads where everyone is compelled to offer their opinion, that we’ve tacked on another million views in less than 6 months - https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...n#post16059461

The rare, extremely very rare few others, are just a minuscule spec, tiny blue pixel in the universe.

Any Brits/Irish planning on seeing this match in HDR? I checked out the The British & Irish Football Thread and it remains inactive (last post 7-3-2019).

No, just plain old UHD!

Rivals BT sport are about to offer new season matches in HDR however. Come on Sky, pull your finger out!

Hope you well Penton Man.

Ryan and the folks at Method - https://www.facebook.com/MethodVFX/p...33480183352996
should take a bow for the F-14 scene over the mountains at the very end of the trailer which viewers seemed to enjoy.

Other than impatiently waiting for the English Football season to begin, I’m quite well, thank you . Which league are your mates in this time around? Any upward mobility since last we spoke as the football (soccer) thread in the Sports forum is brain dead now?

No, still stuck in league 1, albeit with 33,000 crowds. Absolute madness and it’s testing my loyalty to the limit. We need to get rid of our manager and appoint a dynamic, attack minded, forward-thinking boss.

You were so right when you told me that once a team falls out of the Prem, it is truly difficult to climb back up into it.
