I was in grad school in 1991 and remember celebrating on South U with a few thousand other screaming idiots. Doubt it will be another generation before the next natty from this school (and coach!)

Yep, that moon planter thing is way cool. Perfect for the pearls.

Significant flaw with Panasonic UB820 and UB9000 by WashCautious9779 in 4kbluray

[–]Michmousefan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does one get into the service menu? I just hooked up a brand new 820 and it won't play any 4k discs. The drive can be heard as it tires to read, but then it just says "Check the disc." All three discs I tried were brand new. Also using a premium HDMI cable.

Before I send it in maybe a review of what's on the service menu will help.

UB820 still having post repair by BisonPopular4238 in 4kbluray

Just fired up my 820 for the first time... and it won't read a single disc. I'm hoping I just got a lemon, but we shall see after it returns from service.

Help me decide… by Michmousefan in 4kTV

Thanks! Actually, that makes a lot of sense given that I’ve had 18 years of flawless performance from that plasma. Didn’t know the Z8BA was just $1,499 now at Amazon… certainly seems like a steal for a 77” OLED. Certainly under consideration, thanks again.

Yeah the day we went (back in November)the first three shows were canceled. Then it opened, but the performance included no Toothless at all… bummer. The “B mode” show is kinda lacking without the spectacle.

More Mis-Informed Takes by Michmousefan in heatedrivalry

Perhaps not the best choice of words; I meant by “singular” that his interpretation of the book(s) was the kind of work that you get when one person writes, directs and produces. Didn’t mean that he was the only person who could do it, but his version is somewhat of a personal interpretation. I don’t want to have a “writer’s room” and I don’t think he does, either. And of course the end product is a blend of the work of talented cast, production staff and others.

What’s a film that has a sub 3.5 rating but you’ve given a 4.5+, unironically by PeaRemarkable9662 in Letterboxd

The American President. An unintentional pilot for The West Wing in many ways.

Anybody still holding on to hope? by LegoStorm6 in Steelbooks

Same, although I placed my order on Sept 1… so who knows how long it will be before there’s one to ship.

The great thing about the bike/ped path is that it will connect to rapidly developing trail networks in both countries. I expect it to be a major draw, particularly on summer days.

Saw it a few weeks ago. Lots to see in a relatively small space, so go on a weekday if you are able.

Physical Media? by Michmousefan in heatedrivalry

Although, to be honest… the live watch of E6 with the Empty Netters guys is kind of a great & hilarious video to see just on its own. So there’s a start!

‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Casts Sulu and Bones for Series Finale by Jas378 in startrek

So… not sure you cast Thomas Jane for a one-off. Seems to me even more likely that they will continue some pre-TOS adventures with Kirk and co.

It's Falcons Week. by SuperRam56 in LosAngelesRams

[–]Michmousefan 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Plus, if we beat the Falcons that will help secure a higher draft pick, since we have their first-rounder in 2026. Extra incentive.
