on October 25, 2023
Posted by: DMVDB
Fantastic 4K release of a classic movie. Lionsgate knocked the SteelBook release for this out of the park.

Lionsgate does it again
on October 25, 2023
Posted by: DMVDB
I have yet to watch this film, but as a SteelBook collector, I have to say that Lionsgate is hands down the leader in teh SteelBook clubhouse. The included PET slip with graphics takes their SteelBook releases over the top.

Easy smart lighting. Add color to any room with a single smart bulb, which offers warm to cool white light as well as 16 million colors. Use Bluetooth for instant light control in one room, or connect to the Hue bridge (sold separately) to unlock the full set of smart lighting features.

Finally back in stock!
on April 5, 2022
Posted by: DMVDB
I've been waiting for these Philips Hue White & Color Ambiance BR30 bulbs to come back in stock for almost a year now. As soon as I saw they were back in stock, I jumped and ordered eight of the single packs (I had eight recessed lights installed last spring). About a week after I put my order in, the Philips Hue White & Color BR30 bulbs TWO BULB PACKS came back in stock. The two packs are $10 cheaper than buying two individual packs, so it was a no brainer to reorder and save $40. I returned the eight single packs to Best Buy, and waited for the four 2-packs to arrive.
The 2-packs arrived in a shorter amount of time than it took my initial order to arrive, and I excitedly got to setting up the BR30 lights in my living room. Four boxes of 2-packs were shipped snugly in one box. Everything was copacetic as I set up the first six bulbs...until I got to the last box...which turned out to SINGLE bulb pack.
It may be hard to believe, but the box sizes for the single pack and the 2-pack are EXACTLY the same dimension! The single bulb is packed inside the box vertically, while in the 2-packs, the bulbs are packed horizontally on on top of another.
The issue was ultimately resolved (although it took two separate online chats with Best Buy supports) with Best Buy refunding me for one of the 2-packs and me sending the single pack back. I had to place a separate order for another 2-pack.
The Philips Hue eco-system in my house consists of eight BR30 bulbs, eight Philips Hue White & Color Ambiance A19 bulbs, two Hue Play bars, one Hue Edison bulb, and one Hue Go. While expensive, the bulbs are worth it in my opinion. Looking at the E12 candelabra bulbs net for my dining room chandelier (need five of them)...and maybe some outdoor lights, LOL.

Enjoy hot meals and snacks with this 0.9 cu. ft. Insignia countertop microwave. The six automatic cooking options take the guesswork out of heating different dishes, and the defrost function adapts to the weight of food for efficient performance. This 900W Insignia countertop microwave has electronic controls and an LED panel for simple use.

Does the job
on February 24, 2022
Posted by: DMVDB
Needed a temporary microwave as our microwave/hood combination crapped out after 10 years, and they new one I ordered was delayed. Best Buy's Insignia brand was an economical choice, and served us nicely until our new Whirlpool microwave/hood combination was delivered and installed. The Insignia microwave has no bells and whistles, but does the job and it economical. Ended up giving it away to a friend's mother who needed a new microwave.

Better than the theatrical release
on February 23, 2022
Posted by: DMVDB
While I've always be more of a Marvel fan since my childhood in the 80's/90's, Batman has always been my favorite superhero. And anytime there is a successful comic book movie, ALL comic fans win.
I though the theatrical release of Justice League was okay. It ws good to se the JL on the big screen, but I wished WB could have taken the time to world build instead of rushing the JL to the screen.
The Zack Snyder Cut fleshes out the movie more (of course the 242 minute runtime helps), and the post credit scene teases DC fans (if only another movie could be made...fingers crossed).
As far as the SteelBook, I lucked out and was able to get a copy.

A great end to Daniel Craig's run as 007
on February 22, 2022
Posted by: DMVDB
This movie was better than I expected after the average Spectre.
My only complaint? Not enough Ana de Armas!
I was also happy I was able to snag the SteelBook of this, as it seemed to be hard to get.
If I had to rank Daniel Craig's run, it would be as follows:
1. Skyfall
2. Casino Royale
3. No time to Die
4. Spectre
5. Quantum of Solace

Made my wife happy!
on February 22, 2022
Posted by: DMVDB
Bought it as one of my wife's birthday gifts. She's constantly re-watching this show on NetFlix. I've only ever seen a few episodes, even though I was just starting college when this show began.
But Legos are awesome (if pricey!)

Epic Sci-Fi Masterpiece
on February 22, 2022
Posted by: DMVDB
Denis Villeneuve is a fantastic filmmaker. Just like his fantastic Blade Runner 2049, Dune is a masterpiece. Villeneuve does a fantastic job re-making a classic Sci-Fi story with an excellent cast. The movie features a fantastic cast: Oscar Isaac, Jason Momoa, Dave Bautista, Rebecca Ferguson, Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin, and Stellan Skarsgard are wonderful as supporting actors and bring their characters to life.
I have to admit I'm not too familiar with Timothee' Chalamet's work other than his role in the Showtime series Homeland and in Interstellar, but he does great work as Paul Atreides.
I eagerly await the second film.

Great film...representation MATTERS
on February 22, 2022
Posted by: DMVDB
Fantastic movie with a diverse cast. Representation IS important. I don't get the hate; yes, it's not your typical MCU film, but it has a fantastic cast, is well acted, and beautifully shot and directed by Chloe Zhao.
As for the SteelBook, I prefer this design versus the standard portrait designs of the Black Widow and Shang Chi SteelBooks (yes, I'm aware those are movies focus on single characters versus a group).

Another home run for Guy Ritchie
By Binkxsmom
I love all Guy Ritchie movies, and this one doesn't disappoint! So many sub plots and subtle comedy throughout. Highly recommend. Not suitable for younger people.

Step up to great sound with our TCL 2.0 channel S Class sound bar featuring Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual:X. Easy connectivity with HDMI eARC, Bluetooth, and more. Enjoy your favorite entertainment with crisp, clear sound making movies and music truly come to life.
 

I am trying to use the sound bar with the hdmi cord but it says there is no connection found when I switch to the hdmi port that it is connected to, resulting in me using the Bluetooth but I found that using it results in a delay if the sound to visual

Make sure the HDMI cable is connected to a HDMI port labelled HDMI eARC on your television.

Equipped with a solar panel, the Renogy E.Lumen 500 Multi-functional Flashlight harnesses the power of the sun to light your way in the dark. A built-in rechargeable battery is at the ready to power up your mobile devices at any time and an integrated seat belt cutter, glass shattering hammer, magnetic attachment.
 

I am supposed to receive 3 flashlights as shown and I only received one? It says 3 and has a picture of three. Please send the other two.

Yeah, you need to call or chat with customer service. You were supposed to get three flashlights in individual packages (which is what I received).

I previously had three of these flashlights which are great to have in your vehicle(s).

With upgraded chip technology, VanTop HF609T mirror dash cam fulfills Ultra HD video resolution up to 1920*1080P@30fps for both front and rear view camera, presenting remarkable HD images and videos.
 

Does it record with the screen off and plugged in?

Yes. You have to go in the settings and adjust it so that it is not constantly playing back on the screen. The screen can be utilized as a "regular" rear view mirror, but will record from the front and rear cams.

Sorry if this question sounds silly. Would like to purchase this kit if I wanted to purchase say maybe 15-20 bulbs separately do i need another kit to control all the lights or what would I need to control them from room to room? Want a rgb smart home

I currently have nine bulbs, a Hue Go, and two Hue Plays set up to the same Hub. I’m not sure if there are any limits to the amount of bulbs you can link to it.

If money weren’t an issue, I’d outfit my entire home in the Hue Ecosystem. My dining room light has six candle bulbs. At the current price of $50 a pop, that’s too cost prohibitive! Would also like Hue bulbs in recessed lighting. Sigh...if only I was a millionaire (yep, millionaire not billionaire...I’m not greedy).

how is the Switch powered? does it need to be hooked up like a regular light switch?

The switch is battery powered, and is actually removable from the wall plate. You can mount the wall plate on the wall with the attached adhesive strips, or drill holes and mount the plate with screws. There’s no hardwiring the switch at all.
