Binged the new show on PRIME called "The Bondsman" starring Kevin Bacon. It was an 8 episode season. Each episode was half an hour or less, so it was brisk. It's a gory mix of RIPD, Supernatural, Evil Dead, and Todd and the Book of Evil.

I hope it gets a S2.

For the ZIDOO owners, Here's the fix for the library matching issues with TMDB..

It took them a little longer to get this done because there was some kind of holiday in China..

And in typical Zidoo fashion as of late, reading some of the other threads, it breaks some other stuff.

I've got my Zidoo 8K boxed up (I still have about two weeks left to return to Amazon), but I've held off returning in hopes of a miracle - that they get their firmware issues hammered out (with the playback stuttering on the 8k units and so on).

Got back from my California Cruise, two days in San Francisco, San Diego, and Ensenada. Buena Vista Irish Coffees, Warf Bloody Mary's and Clam Chowder, and Scoma's Lazy Man's Cioppino...Nothing could be Better! Celebrated my Birthday with Beefeater Martini's and Drinks at Crooner's Princess Bar with Fantastic Dinners every night!

Watched Season 2 of 1923 Finale when I got home on Amazon Prime, will watch Bosch: Legacy Season 3!

Happy belated birthday to you! I am glad that you had such a great time during your trip and on your birthday.

I did watch

tonight. I could not resist an all new visit to Middle Earth.

I had more fun watching this movie than I thought that I would. The anime style of this movie looks much better in motion than what the blu-ray.com review's screenshots suggest.

A little bit of the voice acting was performed by four original cast members from the Lord Of The Rings trilogy. If you decide to watch it, see if you can spot them!

A new “GPMI” cable is in the works…with both a USB C compatible version and a proprietary version promising AV, power and networking via a single cable.

People should all celebrate up here, down there, anywhere and everywhere.

This will help with making a lot of things obsolete.

I understand the desire to make everyone rebuy everything every year however, I also hope people have most of what they need at the moment.

My theater doesn't need network connection and neither does my dishwasher or refrigerator. I guess I'm becoming more of a luddite but to me the Internet is only for some things.

Catch of the day so far.(currently $12.86 and $14.99) Could make a good double feature.

Some clarity, 1923 is only available from Paramount+. You can subscribe to Paramount+ via Amazon Prime but 1923 is not available from a Prime only subscription. We subscribe to Paramount+ but as a standalone app.

My favourite Tarantino and my worst nightmare..

I don't think either movie is really for everyone.

I should watch it. My son in law shares his Paramount+ subscription with me and I have never looked to see what is on there.

1923 is Yellowstone in 1923. I would start with S1E1. So far, we have watched Yellowstone and all the takeoffs, most have been fairly well made with cameras on fixed mounts, tracks or Steadicams. Too bad they did not budget for this in Taylor Sheridan’s Landman.

I subscribe to Paramount+ because they offer a very good discount to veterans and have a fair amount of good content. Unfortunately they have licensed some of their best CBS content exclusively to Hulu.

Apple TV+ is doing a new promotion, from now until April 24, new and returning subscribers can get Apple TV+ for just $2.99 per month for three months.

Just bought the arrow Children Of The Corn trilogy, Blu only but shamefully, as a horror fanatic, I hadn’t seen any of these three.

Opinions?

They're all corny.

You're welcome; I put a lot of thought into that review.
