Thoughts on Entertainment
“The Splay is a Subpar Monitor but an Exciting Portable Projector”
The Splay seems interesting in that it packs up small, so that it would be easy to pack and transport safely, but big enough to be a useful display in the van. It’s pricey, and its bulk when set up means I’d really like to try one before thinking about purchasing one.
“The Sound of A Charlie Brown Christmas”
This is a lovely article about a beloved show and, in particular, the music that defined it.
Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair in 70mm at the Alamo San Francisco
Ainsley and I went to see _Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair_ last night, and it was simply fantastic.
“Scarlett Johansson to Join ‘The Batman 2,’ Zoe Kravitz Not Likely to Return”
I wonder who she’ll be. Vicki Vale? Poison Ivy? 🤔 On a tangential note, I’ve been belatedly catching up on _The Penguin_, which has been fantastic so far.
“Netflix Kills Casting from Phones”
Netflix continues to make its service worse for users, while raising prices.
“New ‘Star Trek’ Film in Works from Jonathan Goldstein & John Francis Daley”
Oh, man, yet another reboot? That seems like a bad idea. I’d rather see a _Strange New Worlds_ movie.
“YouTube TV’s Disney blackout reminds users that they don’t own what they stream”
It really sucks that people who have “recorded” shows on their “DVR” have lost access to those “recordings”. It’s just another reminder that these services just aren’t as good as ones that actually put a recording on a device you own, like a TiVo.
