Some original songs that are decent, a bunch of covers that are awesome. You also get to hear Seth MacFarlane sing jazz standards.
Plus the movie is pretty decent. A story about how success doesn't just fall in your lap and that you have to work at it.

This is a better collectors' edition than the Steelbook was.
I'd know - I got both because someone didn't tell me she got me the Steelbook as a pre-order and I ended up getting this as my pre-order (and yes, I kept them both).
Also, the 3D was well done and looked terrific on both my Sony XBR850C 55" and my friend's BenQ DLP projector.

I'd just say Deadpool repeatedly, but the review would probably get blocked. Instead, I'll just say that Deadpool is among the top 10 superhero movies of all time. ALL TIME.

Fans of the original might wonder how this is even a sequel, as it's so radically different from the original. However, it's not to say a movie that makes you question how humanity will be defined in the future isn't a good movie.
I think it is.

These worked great with pretty much every 4k HDR device I threw them at. Terrific for connecting cable/satellite boxes, set-top boxes, 4k blu-ray players, and computers to a receiver in a home theater setup.

That moment when Luke chucks his lightsaber as if it were garbage? Totally makes sense. Yoda ran. Obi-Wan ran. All the surviving Jedi ran since Vader and his Stormtroopers were hunting them down and eradicating them.
Anyone that says this moment was what ruined this movie doesn't realize that a big portion of the Star Wars story is the Jedi retreating from their failures.

Apple - Remote Loop - Black
The Remote Loop keeps your Siri Remote safely tethered to your wrist so you won't have to worry about accidental slips or drops. The Remote Loop clicks into the Lightning connector on the remote for secure attachment and easy removal. And you can adjust the size for a snug and secure fit.The Remote Loop is compatible only with the Siri Remote for Apple TV (4th generation).
Not just for the Siri Remote for Apple TV 4/4K...

This is also great for those of you with an iPhone 5 or later, or iPod Touch 5th gen or later, or iPod Nano 7th gen that constantly drop it. Plugs into the lightning port. You have to squeeze the connector on its sides to release it, which may take a little effort, but otherwise it's easy-peasy.

Hisense - 55" Class U8 Series Mini-LED QLED 4K UHD Smart Google TV - (2023)
The Award-winning Hisense U8 Series Mini-LED TV just got even better. With Peak Brightness 1500 and more than double the local dimming zones as last year, along with Quantum Dot Color, Dolby Vision HDR, and Low Reflecton panel technology, the U8 delivers unmatched brightness, contrast and detail. And, with Dolby Atmos and an upgraded 50w 2.1.2 multi-channel audio system, the U8 creates an immersive cinema experience in your home. In additon, the U8 is compatible with the new Wifi 6E router protocol and includes a NEXTGEN TV ATSC 3.0 tuner making the U8 virtually future-proof. With the Google TV OS and Hands-Free Voice Control, searching for and playing all your favorite content is simple and seamless. Just say “Hey Google”. The U8 also got more upgrades for the gaming enthusiast including a 144Hz VRR panel, Dolby Vision Gaming and FreeSync Premium Pro for an enhanced gaming experience. And, be2er also just got bigger with the U8H now available in an 85” screen size.
There is a switch next to the microphone at the bottom of the TV in the center. Is the switch an analog switch that completely disables the microphone or is it more of a "soft" power off? I do not want to use voice commands and I have privacy concerns.
When you're going through the TV setup, you have the option of not enabling the built-in Google Assistant far-field microphone system (also known as hands-free). Android TV also allows you to completely disable all microphone access within the OS.

Can you connect the U8K to multiple (two,2) Bluetooth devices at one time? Kids sleeping...
You could share a pair of TWS earbuds, but you'd lose half the audio. A pair of headphones that allow pairing of a second pair of headphones would work, but those are rare.
Your best bet would be finding a Bluetooth receiver (like this one - https://www.bestbuy.com/site/aluratek-bluetooth-wireless-audio-transmitter-and-receiver-for-tv-and-other-audio-devices-black/5715709.p?skuId=5715709 - which works pretty well), a headphone splitter (like this right here - https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-3-5mm-stereo-splitter-cable-black/4399300.p?skuId=4399300 - that would plug into that receiver box), and getting two pairs of wired headphones or earbuds.

do you need a 48 GPBS hdmi cable or a 18GPBS hdmi cable for the best picture on the U8K hisense 55 inch tv
It depends on the source device. HDMI 2.1 devices generally require the 48GBPS cable for full feature support, like 4k/120 with HDR video and varible refresh rate. 18GBPS cables can support 4k/120 without HDR and 4k/60 with HDR.
Series X, PS5, computer with a recent AMD, Intel, or NVidia GPU, home theater receiver with HDMI 2.1 4k/120 or 8k/60 support, or Apple TV 4k generation 3? Get the 48GBPS cable and use HDMI 3 or 4.

I use only ether-net connections.I need to know if the WiFi setting can be turned off and not emit any EMF radiation. What kind of signal does the remote use? I can not have any Bluetooth EMF radiation.
Outside of non-Smart TV sets, you won't find a TV where you can disable Bluetooth and Wi-Fi radios completely.

Will not allow me to watch next gen dtv local channels. Keeps giving me “TV not supported???? What am I missing
You must be connected to the internet to watch NextGen ATSC 3.0 channels, as most broadcasters have implemented DRM on their broadcasts. Also, make sure the TV firmware is up-to-date before doing a channel search.

I just want to verify this will allow me to game on my xbox series x at 120fps correct?
Game consoles are supported at 120 Hz, PCs are supported at up to 144 Hz, and this refresh rate works with AMD, Nvidia, and Intel graphics, integrated and discreet.

eufy Security Outdoor Cam Pro 2K is a wired 2K Wi-Fi surveillance camera that is completely free of the bounds of an external system hub- instead storing all the information locally in the 32gb SD card that comes with it. Check your high-quality, encrypted, 2K footage whenever you need to via the eufy Security app and only be alerted of the things that matter with AI Human and Pet detection. Outdoor Cam Pro is not compatible with eufy HomeBase. The USB adapter is not waterproof, a cover is required for outdoor use.
will it work with windows 10 pc?
You could make this work with a Windows 10 PC in several ways:
1) You could use the Bluestacks Android emulator to run the Eufy app.
2) You could set the cameras up to run with RTSP video output instead of the standard setup they use and use an RTSP viewer to watch them.
3) You could run an RTSP server on your PC.
4) If you have a subscription to their cloud service, you can view the cameras that way.
You will still need an Android or iOS device to setup and maintain the camera, however.

When it senses motion and records for the 20 or 30 seconds... is there a delay before it will start recording again? Current cam has a long delay that causes things to be missed that could be beneficial.
I don't have issues with long delays between recordings. In fact, there are several nights where the deer in my neighborhood will trigger the recording and alert 5 or 6 times within a minute. I've even had blocks of triggered recording that were 20 minutes long as various wild animals would shuffle past by house.
