Sorry Bill. :( ...Next year perhaps, against the Habs, in the finals. :)

Time for some golfing...

Thanks for your kind wishes, NorthStar. It was a crushing defeat and it's hard to accept, but LA has a great team and will represent the Western conference well in the finals. They're calling this 'Blue Monday' in Chicago!
 
Bob,

Please hold on, it’s going to take a little while to get to my point, if you don’t mind. I love my BLU RAY discs and really feel like I am in a theatre when watching them. Slowly, I have been replacing many DVDs with their blu ray counterpart and discovered if I took my time I can get the cheap, very cheap.

For example I would be able to get the 4 1980-90 Batman movies for a total of $11. A Bargain. Almost.

The first movie was good, the second okay, the third fair and the fourth, awful. So I began to wonder, what were the worst real movies that I have seen over the “home theatre” period. That started for me about 1981 with Laser Disc.

But they have to be real movies. I don’t consider any Ed Wood, or Japanese horror movies “real” movies, if you know what I mean. I mean studio pictures with real stars, writers and actors.

Well, Batman Forever starts it.
Superman 3, 4 and Superman Returns would be on my list.
Blade III
Every Die Hard movie after the second one.
The Spirit, the worst of them all.
War of the Worlds (Tom Cruise)
Pacific Rim
John Carter
Prometheus

Any movie with Adam Sandler
 
Hi Barry, nice to see you. :)

Like with anything else in life that we like; after a while, and experience, we're getting simpler, and just get what we want irregardless of price.
We go to places where we feel welcome and comfortable, and don't miss a thing about the rest.

I'm like that with movies too. ...And music. ...And people.

Hi Bob,

Let em say two things. First, by be aware of price, I generally don't usually spend less, I get more. I have more movies because I don't necessarily pay the top price. I went to Barnes and Noble to buy a book that I wanted to read. it was #30, Amazon had it for $18. I got the book from Amazon, but did have to wait an extra day to begin reading. But, that give me a chance to buy more books.

Also, there is value. When i was a kid, a slice of pizza was 15 cents, Good Humor is cream was also 15 cents and comics were 12 cents. Now Pizza is $2.50 a slice, ice cream is about $3 and I think comics are $4. I still get the first two. But some things cost so much that even though I have the money, I'd rather spend it on something else. Would I spend $10 for a slice of pizza? I don;t think so. $10 for Ice Cream? (If it were Haagen Das Chocolate Chocolate Chip, maybe.) But by just checking out a few places on line, I have been able to get a lot of good movies on Blu Ray and feel great about it.
 
There are times that we don't care about prices; we just get what we want when we want.

Other times we are simply more discriminatory; we take the time to check and compare.

There is not one way better than the other; only the final satisfying emotional outcome counts. ...Not the financial one.
And the road to get there is stress-free; both ways.
 
Don't get me wrong; I love peaceful, intelligent, romance, true stories, comedies, animation (PIXAR), 3D (IMAX), foreign films, good action, spaghetti westerns, good sci-fi flicks and all that great jazz.

And last night I just happened to watch a war movie based on true facts; only smoke! It was awesome!
...Not for the falling from the mountain and all the bruises and blood and shooting and killing, yes some great pieces of action here, but for the real message.
...The mission, the denouement, and its final outcome in that small Afghan village with father and son.
It's a must see in order to expand our knowledge on them people and appreciate their values that deserve the highest respect.

 
'Le Scaphandre et le Papillon'

Late last night I watched an excellent French flick ::



* Don't miss it, even if it's in French (English subtitles). ... Cinematography by Janusz Kaminski.
And starring (among others) la belle Emmanuelle Seigner and the great Max von Sydow.
 
Last night I watched This Is It again, because it is really good. I am no big MJ fan, but he was a crazy genius. Of course, Orianthi makes the 2nd half of the show most enjoyable along with the better sets of tunes. Sound from this is also better than the average.

What a shame for what he became and how he went out. I really wish he could have pulled this set of shows off.

I'm no MJ's fan either Brian, but this documentary is first class. The Blu-ray is top-notch; hisstory, picture, and audio quality wise (♪).
{I do have a dozen of his albums, from back when I was ..., and also his latest/newest 2014 album's release: Xscape}

* MJ's music is still alive. ...And will for a very long time.
 
Do you guys remember the flick 'Robocop' (1987) directed by Paul Verhoeven ('Showgirls')?

Well, last night I watched this one (2014) ::



* I wished that they would have made it in 3D.
...Still decent 2D entertainment with a nice polished picture. ...The sound? ...Well, as unrealistic as it can sound (hyper-processed).
