Depends, soybean based (Orville Redenbacher’s) oil can weld its self to surfaces and be very difficult to remove. Coconut (Snappy) oil is fairly easy to clean. We use Watchdog Concession & Equipment Cleaner to clean machine.

I need to put on several pounds; I've only gained back 3. I'll be right over to be both entertained and fattened up.

No employees at the moment, but I may have to look into outsourcing that task. 3 lbs is a good start. Hopefully pizza has contributed to that.

Coconut is the only way to go. I will definitely look into Watchdog and thanks for the link!

You may have also caused me to put on a few lbs in the process.

That’s great! Even more impressive stuff. Sorry about the weight gain!

Of particular interest to Wendell,

The ATV4k does a great job of HDR to SDR conversion.

Our Projectors can't really do HDR without some type of tone mapping or conversion. They are not inherently HDR devices. The Panasonic UHD players do a great HDR to SDR conversion and the ATV4K does great with it too. Between the two you have all the bases covered.

Because the Apple did not do integer frame rates I did not have any interest in one. It took them a long time but that problem has been resolved with a big thanks to Kris Deering.

Kris has stated some JVC projectors does a great job of DTM. With projectors it is more about dynamic range than peak brightness. Keep in mind many direct view displays can not do 1000 nits so they will clip highlights. Seriously doubt many direct view display owners know what PQ curves look like.

If money was not a concern then I would have a model of Christie Digital.

Amazon dropped the ball on my Quiet Place II UHD so hopefully that comes tomorrow.

Picked up A Quiet Place II 4K Steelbook at BB today and grabbed Saw 4K Steelbook too while I was there.

At the risk of being judged (And I probably deserve it) I finally started The Wire today. Hell, I even lived in Baltimore for a few years.

It's a great series. I streamed it awhile back and even though I found it to be excellent, it lacks replay value, IMO, as do all police procedural shows. I loved it, but I know that I will never desire to watch it again.

My chiropractor told me he just finished it for the 5th time. Plus it is a long series which makes that even crazier to me.

The show has very devoted fans, but shows of this genre just have no replay value to me. The time viewing it was time very well spent, but a case of "once and done" with me.

It’s released in September here, can’t wait.

Gutted that The Green Knight has been pulled from our cinemas. It’s been getting rave reviews everywhere. I hope it’s region free when it’s released on Blu-ray or 4K in USA. It will probably go the crap route with streaming here.

That is my thought going in too but still felt like I should own it.

My copy of A Quiet Place Part II 4K disc just arrived. I know what my next double feature will be.

First one is one of my favorite movies and a killer Atmos track. I hear the 2nd gives it a run for the money on both accounts. I am probably a month out from my viewing. Enjoy your double feature!

I hope that you got it while it was on sale recently for only $50. I was tempted, but I could not justify buying something that I would not watch despite the bargain price.
