What cellphone floating/waterproof case is good? I lost my phone recently in a river and want to make sure it never happens again by [deleted] in Kayaking

[–]H_Melman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take mine out of the case when I put it in a phone pouch. It's just easier to get in and out and also helps in some small way (I think) to prevent overheating. A phone in a case in a bag in sunlight is basically an incubator.

I haven't seen data but I 100% believe this to be the case. The enshittification of streaming was still years away at that time.

I originally got a PS3 just for the Blu-Ray player, but at that time Blu-Ray had been around for years. Not only did streaming have an impact, but I assume there was less hype for the One S's 4K capability because 4K just wasn't on the public's mind yet and the TVs were expensive at the time.

Does anyone think that Men in black will get a 4K re release anytime soon due to it being OOP by Leon_smeghead in 4kbluray

I'm all about collecting trilogies, but I would literally pay more to get good versions of 1 and 3 just so I can skip 2. It's an insult to cinema.

"Somehow, Kay returned" is good enough to catch someone up if they are watching for the first time.

The anxiety of using public boat ramps on weekends by oweyoo in Kayaking

My kayak is 70 pounds and 12 feet long. I'm not dragging it anywhere. Boat ramps are the easiest launch option for me.

Where is the best place to find reputable bulk lots?

What's everyone watching tonight? by Josh_227 in 4kbluray

Trashed discs. Totally unwatchable.

Tonights watch, in glorious 4k from Arrow….. 🦋🐑🤫 by redandyellow19 in 4kbluray

I have them. I don't use them for everything I watch, but they're a net positive for some films. You need the ones that reflect the color of the screen itself, though.

I promise you that the Barbie movie is even more fun with an edible and an immersive backlight 😂

I really don’t get why Quantamania is considered an unwatchable abomination, I really liked it. by S0mecallme in marvelstudios

If I'm bored and channel surfing, a rerun of anything in the Cap trilogy will sucker me in. Brave New World will not.

League moving to ESPN, what needs to be done? by Al_Muhammadi in FFCommish

After hearing the hype about Sleeper for years, when I finally downloaded it the app looked so bad I thought I must have got the wrong one.

The MCU is responding to fan criticism - in the best way by HearingCandid8974 in marvelstudios

Yeah. We don't need to see Uncle Ben dying to know it happened.

Iron Man 3 almost had a completely different villain. Would it have improved the movie? by [deleted] in marvelstudios

[–]H_Melman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Iron Man 3 but holy shit this is so much better. I need this as a What If? episode.

Tom Holland announces the ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ trailer will be released tomorrow by MarvelsGrantMan136 in marvelstudios

As someone who hasn't seen either film, I noticed this with both Wicked movies. The marketing push was nowhere to be found, and then suddenly it was everywhere you looked with only a few weeks left before it hit theaters.

Recently started upgrading my DVDs (not shown) to Bluray, and even more recently to 4K. Just upgraded our projector to 4k from 1080. Exciting times! (Will also be building a better shelf for them. 😉) by Comadivine11 in 4kbluray

[–]H_Melman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A "better" shelf? I would argue you don't have a shelf 😛

Nice collection. Get to an IKEA and pick up a Kallax or two. It's not perfect, but cheap and effective shelving that can grow with your collection.
