Thoughts on Entertainment

Some of the tidbits here about how the movie was being made at the same time at the same studio as Attack of the Clones were interesting, especially given that Ewan McGregor starred in both.

I’m apparently too old for Pop Culture Jeopardy!, because I was absolutely terrible at it the first time around. But I’m generally happy to see Jeopardy! trying new things.

I totally agree that custom players should be made to implement platform standards. The elephant in the room, of course, is: What does Apple do if Netflix calls their bluff and takes their app off of Apple TV? Does Apple need Netflix more than Netflix needs Apple?

Honestly, between the ever-increasing monthly prices and their complete refusal to be a good citizen on Apple platforms, let alone actively making their apps worse, Netflix makes me want to cancel so badly. (Recently my wife got logged out, and her first thought was that I had canceled.)

A couple years after cutting the cord, I finally fixed our flaky over-the-air TV and now have a reliable, free(ish) source for our nightly Jeopardy! habit. Hopefully this post can help anyone wanting to run their tuner on power-over-ethernet like I did.

While the First Doctor was never my favorite, this is still very cool. I’d love to see these early episodes.

Very cool! As a life-long viewer of Jeopardy! and a long-time follower of Snell’s, it’s fun to see those worlds cross over.

Finally!

Very cool! I loved playing that game back when I was a kid. It’s really neat that the pictures and video footage of the production exist.
