Hope I look this good when I’m 70.

A necessity for any fan of historical science fiction film and VFX—George Pal, the film’s producer and special effects designer, was a master of optical compositing with miniatures. This 4K restoration makes the film look like it could have been released a decade ago rather than in 1954. Amazing.

I didn’t think I would like the braided style, but it looks pretty good. It’s so easy to change bands on an Apple Watch that if you’re just looking for variety, this is fine. Pretty well made, too.

Come for the sepia, stay for the color.

Beautiful restoration--almost TOO beautiful, TOO spotless (no one would ever have seen such a flawless print in 1939 or any year after, not on celluloid film anyway). On the other hand, it doesn't suffer from plastic-looking noise reduction or digital over-smoothing; it looks like a filmed image, and the Technicolor grading is gorgeous. I'm bummed that there's no original mono sound mix on the 4K disk (though the included Blu-ray has it, and it's lossless, I think). Worth your time and money.

You might want to consider a new watch band
on November 10, 2023

Verified Purchase:Yes
For years I've gotten by with a silver "link" bracelet that was missing one link (no Darwin jokes, please) and was therefore slightly too tight; it was also the wrong color because my partner had given me a newer, black Apple Watch to replace my original silver one. A couple of weeks ago I couldn't stand it anymore and purchased this black mesh band with magnetic clip. I LOVE IT. Finally, my watch looks, feels, and fits like it was meant to be this way. Word to the wise: you can only settle for a mismatched watchband for so long before you go berserk from repressed watchband rage. This Insignia is a little expensive and a little difficult to get around my hand without unlooping it every single time, but it looks pretty darn good.

Good, solid MagSafe charger

Verified Purchase:Yes
I don’t have experience with wireless chargers, but this one does the job well. The folding stand isn’t immediately intuitive but once in place, it props up my iPhone at two useful angles while charging. My only beef is that the charger itself is more or less depleted by the time it has fully charged my phone; however, this was a refurbished item that cost a fraction of the list price, so I don’t have much cause to complain.

The funny one.
on April 23, 2021
Posted by: filmguy
Verified Purchase:Yes
Unlike Romero’s half of the LIVING DEAD franchise, which is, well, dead serious about its social commentary (and very good at it to boot), the half that Dan O’Bannon got to work with in this film heads straight for the satirical end of the spectrum and nails it. Gross, sloppy, sometimes genuinely scary, and hilarious. But don’t expect to sympathize with many of the characters—most of them get what’s coming to them!

Board games for couch potatoes

My 11-year-old son and I enjoy playing Monopoly this way because it’s as easy as lying on a sofa: you “shake” the dice via the Switch controller and it does the rest. But be warned: it doesn’t allow you to play by any house rules, so if you have your own in-family ways of dealing with property sales/trades, bankruptcy, etc., fuggedabouddit. Risk is slightly better because the automation of army allocation moves much, much faster

(Even) Better Than You Remember
on April 23, 2021
Posted by: filmguy
Verified Purchase:Yes
This movie still cracks me up every time. And my eleven-year-old son loved it for its randomness and meme-worthy bits (Vote for Pedro, Your Mom Goes to College, et al.). John Heder’s climactic “hip-hop” dance routine is still genius—better than you remember. The entire film is a kind of testament to the real dreams behind empty advertising promises of a better life through consumerism, and I’ll always love it for that.

A-1 Transfer
on February 12, 2021
Posted by: filmguy
Verified Purchase:Yes
Not for everyone, but it’s the musical that showed the way toward a new future for the genre—not escapism, but something approaching realism. Joel Grey is magnificently arch, and Liza gives it, to coin a phrase, everything she’s got. The image is pleasingly film-like and the sound is near-perfect.

Worthy historical film

Not Fritz Lang’s best, but important and arresting for many reasons: Brecht story, Eisler score, OSI-approved wartime storyline about the Polish resistance, and arresting low-key cinematography. The transfer and restoration are solid.
