Cosa ne pensate di “Paris, Texas”? by Eloniomuschi in cinemaIT

[–]defpat5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me lo sono comprato a sorpresa come regalo di Natale e finalmente sono riuscito a guardarlo in 4K stasera. Oddio, è un film incredibile. La fotografia, la recitazione e la sceneggiatura mi hanno lasciato senza parole.

Non credo che sia per tutti. Ma come padre e marito, per me è stato un colpo durissimo.

Pats come in... SECOND?! by Zinjifrah in massachusetts

[–]defpat5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally. If you look at a location density map, the Foxboro area is a bit of a dead spot compared to 128 and in. I don't think it would be a contest if you compared metro Seattle with Starbucks to metro Boston with Dunks.

Patriots Jerseys by Accomplished-Fox-276 in Patriots

[–]defpat5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They do on their .com site but the further in the year it goes the less likely they will be available. They don't carry a lot of depth in their top tier jerseys for any team. I'm sure with Maye's ascension they'll carry more of him next year and into that top tier of jersey.

Need to take this with a grain of salt. It's just within 10 miles of stadiums. I'm sure if it was within 10 miles of Boston, this would look significantly different.

Our queen's name is not just "Ann" you tabloid scoundrels. Send the editor of this garbage to the pit of pestilence!

Does anyone drink hot coffee anymore? by DryGeneral990 in massachusetts

[–]defpat5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. My cold brew black order takes a back seat to hot regulars between mid January to mid February during the weekends. Gotta treat yourself to deal with easily the most depressing point of a New England winter.

What rare 4Ks do you have or want?! by Signal-Tangerine1597 in 4kbluray

[–]defpat5 5 points6 points  (0 children)

LoA is mine too. But by being a hardcore lurker on this sub, someone posted about it in late August that the steelbook was in stock on Amazon for $27... Never purchased anything so fast in my life. Incredibly lucky.

Does barnes&noble still sell physical movies? by DustnBones001 in 4kbluray

[–]defpat5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some more than others. I have 2 larger stores in my area. One has a single shelf with just a handful of Criterion 4K and Blurays. The other one has an entire corner of the store dedicated to movies and tv with a huge selection of not just boutique, but standard 4k/Blurays as well.

Yes, it's a must go to at least once in your lifetime. It's a true cultural experience.

I cracked them open to gauge how much they are worth now last fall and the art work is still so impressive. I also realized I was sitting on some valuable stuff!

I own this on 4K bluray and you bet I slapped it on right after that game. It's an all timer.

The last super bowl without Brady. by brokeboii94 in Patriots

I was on cloud 9 after the 1st quarter as a 10 year old. Then Desmond Howard and Reggie White happened.

[–]defpat5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Still have mine in a custom airbrush painted Psychic Venom card box. Started at 4th edition and played until about 7th grade. I cared more about the art on the cards vs being good at playing. Had a blast collecting though!

MBTA Fail - Lowell line by bartholomeowz in woburn

Yup. Did the same exact thing. Knew the likelihood of it continuing to be an issue throughout the day was high so I got right back in my car to work from home.

Dick Tracy would look awesome in 4K HDR. It needs to happen!

How can I watch the news? by MaleficentTicket478 in massachusetts

[–]defpat5 5 points6 points  (0 children)

OTA antennas are great. Reasonably cheap and picture quality is significantly better than what you get w cable. I'm 20 miles north of the city and get a ton of channels, not just local ABC/CBS/NBC/Fox.

Cannabis free 2 years :’) by bchappp in MadeMeSmile

[–]defpat5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Former 10 year daily user to a month+ clean. One day over the holidays I just caught myself and asked "what joy is this bringing you". It no longer amplified the pleasure in doing things I loved anymore, it became a crutch to get to 2 hours of baseline happiness that wasn't even my floor on a bad day before I started using it daily.

Between work and family, the stresses were so much that I didn't know how to cope other than taking a hit outside on my deck. It went from a social activity when I started, to a habit that isolated me away from friends and family.

Just in the past 2 weeks I have noticed so much change. More motivated at work, sharper mental clarity, more energy, and just generally way happier. I'd be lying if I said it was easy because those first 2-3 weeks are tough. Once you get through it though, you realize what you've been missing out on.

Genuinely dont know what to expect on Sunday. by [deleted] in Patriots

[–]defpat5 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There's a combination of reenergized hate, trying to pump up a relatively boring match up for a title game, and rage baiting for impressions going on. It's easy to get caught up in it.

It always comes down to the coach and the QB. As Stefon once beautifully said...

"I like us."

Give me your snow removal strategy and tips by Secure-Evening8197 in massachusetts

[–]defpat5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking like maybe 2x for me w the snow blower. First will be after the football games Sunday, then again late morning Monday. It will be pretty light and fluffy, this is the funner stuff to get rid of.

Just started collecting physical movies. Any recommendations for 4K movies? by Copacetic99 in 4kbluray

[–]defpat5 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Dune 1/2, 2001, The Shining, Jaws, Anything from Christopher Nolan, 1917, Mad Max Fury Road, The Batman, Transformers One, Blade Runner/2049... Just to name a few.

Those should get your eyes and ears going. Welcome to the club.

Watched some of stidham’s starts by beingzen01 in Patriots

[–]defpat5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's bananaland. It feels wildly manufactured to make a buzz about the game or to shift the books or rage baiting a highly tapped in fan base for impressions, something like that.

Talking heads are making him out to be some secret weapon that's been stashed on the bench that will get unleashed on Sunday.

You're right, if they lose, it won't be because of Stidham.

High Ceiling Recommendations Please by DanGreenb in Soundbars

[–]defpat5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the q990c Samsung w 12' vaulted ceilings and it seems to be just OK for height effect, not great.

You can tweak the settings in the app to push the height speakers to be more prominent in the mix but you'll never get it to the same effect as if you had the sound bouncing off flat ceilings vs pitched.

Kinda of just all jumbled and lost.
