I haven't moved on to anyone... It takes two, Slimjim has been engaging me, he has a choice not to respond... As I stated to him not many posts ago, it's a public forum, and if he is going to respond, then expect a reply back.

Secondly, in his previous post to me, he said that I insult people, but then in the same post, he threw out an insult, and told me to go play with myself... My response to this was befitting of what he said, and he walked right into it.

Some discs are just made bad. My copy of 2 Headed Shark Attack has a few spots where the video goes garbled or jumps a few seconds ahead. This is a bad encode. It is mentioned in the review of the disc on this site.

I'm not sure it will be recalled.

I keep thinking I'll check the version of Tubi to see if a better encode exists of this true gem of modern cinema.

It's not so much a game as you may think. We aren't all trying to agitate one another. No one respects you for disrespecting someone else.

This is kind of a "smackdown" thread of two options to it works like that a bit but there's no need for it to get personal ever.

Grown men that have never met each other who come to a forum and jump on each others posts to tell the other that are right and the other is wrong about something, generally does become a game. What was Slimjean's purpose today, to try to defend his position and demonstrate his dominance, because he believes his experiences are more valid, that he is more knowledgable, and he has all the facts.

No, everyone certainly isn't, only some.

I don't know any of you personally, so why should that be important to me?

ATV D+ Atmos issue looks to be fixed.

I must clairify this warped twist. You mentioned "porn" after the fact.

When I said play with yourself I was referring to enjoying your one sided hostile discussion.

If it came off that way that is not what I meant.

This will be my last response to you because you are unreasonable.

Fair enough, if that's what you meant, I can accept that. I'll apologise for my comments. Though just so you are aware of where I was coming from with my initial comment, in your prior post to this, it come across as though you were trolling by not providing the information that I asked for regarding a previous post of yours that I missed, and also you accused me of trolling, when I wasn't (Personally I think the term trolling gets thrown around far too often in genuine discussions), so in my follow up post, because it seemed like you were trolling, and you accused me of it, I thought I may as well make a troll comment of my own, to match and since you were accusing me of it. Anyway... I am happy to leave it here, enjoy the remainder of your day

Agreed. Plus from the rules:

If you can't contribute anything positive to the thread don't respond at all - just report the post if you think it should be reported.

For those that may not know, to report a post just click the small triangle in the user area of the post in question.

IMHO, it appears some come here just to with others. This thread was locked recently and a warning was posted by the mods.

OT

We had our 2nd Moderna COVID-19 last Wednesday and it made us feel really lousy Thursday and not so great for a couple of more days. Seems like a very small inconvenience if it reduces the risk of CV-19. We have and will continue to use mask plus continue all our other safeguards.

Time for a break so we are departing for central Florida and will be here. Really nice place but no internet, will have to use phone hotspot.

Last week I was on an island off the gulf coast and internet was there but so bad we ended up relying more on our cellular if we wanted to do anything.

Speedtested at 3Mbs and 0 for upload.

My kids wanted to watch movies and also Wanda Vision so in the evenings we would dis-able wifi on all of our phones, tablets, ect and restart the router to try to accomplish watching a movie on the living room TV which had an old Roku via Wifi only.

This week the entire family is home for the full week 24/7... at these times I'm very happy to have content I can enjoy without using any of the bandwidth the family is using for work and school. Our home has bonded DSL which is fine most of the time but could be a little lacking if everyone wants streaming video. Thankfully we don't have shared bandwidth with our neighbors or data limits which is what stopped me from pursuing Cable internet to get better speed.

It looks like it has been a busy morning here at the happiest thread on Earth.

Well, you know what they say: if at first you don't succeed, try, try again.

I own that DVD myself; I will have to check my copy tonight.

Congratulations on your new pair of subwoofers!

After you have had a chance to try them out, let us know what you think of them. I am always happy to see people upgrade their home theater. Enjoy!

I'm holding out for either a 3D or 4K edition myself.

The Criterion Collection flash sale is live and I have made my one and only order for it.

Scooped up:

Amores Perros
The Parallax View
Essential Fellini

Since I subscribe to the Criterion Channel, they had sent me a $10 gift certificate, so threw that on the pile to bring the cost down a bit.

Yep, I picked up:



Plus I got my $50 gift certificate after this order so now I'm shopping some more!

What could be sweeter than a couple of free Criterion blu-rays? Bravo!

[Ender14]

Just added these using my gift card:



Now I have to force myself to stop buying for a while. I went a little crazy on region B releases since I got my region free player. Between those orders and these I've added about 21 titles over the past week.
