So just eat more slices.

Yeah, yeah, but what did you have for dinner?

Cowboys and blackholes? Interesting double bill.

If you're buying pizza by the slice you are spending way too much anyway.

Move somewhere sane if it comes to that.

Just remember to look for really good pizza joints and fast internet as your top priorities.

Buy 8 inch. 4 slices. I would need to spend a lot more money.

Too small. Go large or go home.

How dare governments tell people how to spend their own time and their own money!

That's your job

Pretty generic fast food dinner. My MiL had surgery this last Tuesday and just got home tonight. Hopefully we’re back to home cooked meals from this point. The less I eat fast food the less of a fan I am when I do

I am glad that she is doing better. I bet everyone is happy that she's home.

I redeemed 27 digital codes from just a few of my 4K discs and blus. I am certain that makes me a bad, bad person. I did so partly out of boredom, but I also did it to have access to them when I visit people. This way, I can leave my discs safe and snug at home. I have a whopping 132 titles redeemed in total; three of which were freebies from various rewards programs.

I was irritated that some would redeem in 4K here, but in HD there. I know there is some spreadsheet that people visit to determine the best location to redeem 4k codes, but I was far too lazy to look it up. A couple of codes wanted me to create a UV account and that seemed pointless now that they are closing. In short, redeeming these 4K codes should be a lot simpler to do and the correct resolution should be obtained without having to consult some oracle spreadsheet with each title.

The standalone DVD should have been gone years ago.

To me Subscription Streaming and Digital Purchases are all the same, because the latest Movies are not available right away. All my Streaming Providers except Netflix carry my Movie Collection, and I just added Google Play too. Like I said, Streaming is Hot right now and Sony with the latest update gave me a ton of options with a Fantastic Interface. The Donster was talking about Open Range, I love that Movie but it's not in my Movie Collection. YouTube has Movies you can watch, and that one was available and I watched it the other night. Yes, Streaming is King!

And here is its throne:




You think that subscription streaming and digital purchases are the same? I can't say that I'm at all surprised that you would believe that with your "it's all digital" refrain.

Made it again somehow...

I did tell you, didn’t I? It’s just sneaking up on you. Knew I should have bet serious money lol.

Only if you don’t like the best. I do, therefore it is more like the court Jester.

I just warn of the consequences, that’s all. Imo, most of you guys are sheep. You do, because others do. I step outside that box.
