Hope to check it out this week.

Good luck with your move and new setup.

Very excited for Furiosa

gotmule,

Do you have any plans to deal with going from having a spectacular theater to temporarily going without ?

I tend to think if I had to part with my setup for a while, I would want a Apple Vision Pro because of all the 3D movies you can watch on it. It's a drag it's not wireless yet and costs all too much but I am hopeful a new version will improve on both of those concerns.

I appreciate the thought but will just go without it. I had to do it once before about 14 yrs ago when I lived in Houston for work while my system sat boxed up. I will be occupied with setting up the new house and focusing on that first, but for sure be walking downstairs planning and visualizing the whole level. I already ordered a new set of outdoor speakers for the deck and putting together the whole house audio setup at the moment.

Side note is that this will be the last movie I watch before I break down my system for the move to Delaware, and the last movie I watch until some time next year once I have everything built and setup in the new house.

Looking forward to see what you cook up in the new place..

Good luck gotmule.

These days, if I don't watch someone alone, it's likely I won't watch it at all. My wife isn't interested in seeing films in the theater that much anymore. She probably goes about half a dozen times per year. Since I'm retired I like to go to matinees and my "movie" friend works late hours so generally doesn't want to go either.

When I use to go to the Cinema it was in Palm Desert, CA and they were matinees I'd go alone. Here I just wait till they come to Streaming, either Subscriber or EST. I can watch all the latest Movies and Series, like Kevin Costner's Horizon: An American Saga!

I have never landed on that site before. Thanks for sharing.

I meant to start watching Furiosa on 4K disc but got derailed with the excellent Warner Archive BD of The Hidden. I also re-watched the excellent 4K disc of Robocop 2 and I watched it with the Laserdisc audio track it is in included with - it's a stellar release. Furiosa 4K disc is on for today!

Disney wants to dismiss a wrongful death lawsuit because of a Disney Plus agreement

(use streaming at your own risk!)

Almost off topic but insane story about Disney+ terms and conditions. ...

https://www.theverge.com/2024/8/14/2...cription-terms

"Disney wants a Florida court to dismiss a wrongful death lawsuit at a Disney-affiliated restaurant based on terms of service for the entertainment giant’s website and streaming video services."

So if I read this right and I have to keep double checking because it's nutty as can be. Someone dies from allergic reaction at a restaurant in Disney but said person had a free trail of D+ long ago and at that time the T&C means they agreed to not sue Disney and only deal with Disney preferred resolution.

So for anyone in the camp of the T&C means nothing - take note... it means considerably something.

Actually, I think the outcome of this case will be the final arbiter of whether or not they are considerably something... or absolutely worthless..

It's truly a reach that the terms of D+ apply to things beyond the use of D+

[Wendell R. Breland]

For home entertainment I started reading the TOS/EULA when Netflix started streaming and the start of UV (UltraViolet). Little has changed, they have been, are and will continue 100% in the drivers seat. And if they find they are only 99.9% they will change the TOS/EULA and the end user will do nothing about because the user agreed they could do this.

You know almost any streaming service has turned a profit it if it makes a massive corporation impossible to sue by like 80% of the population. I imagine youtube has the same clause which means if they let it stand then alphabet can only be sued by the Amish I guess.
