The Music. It's about what it was like for America when the so-called age of innocence was reaching twilight. The Music was fantastic and this film catches a glimpse of what that was like. What passes for music today is cRap. There. I said it because it needs saying.
Not everything about the 60s was great but the early Music of the times including the Beach Boys, the Beatles, and so many of the great "Girl Groups" like the Ronettes made music that gave meaning to those years. T
his film captures that time. It is worth the price of admission, whether or not you were there.

It looks are period piece perfect. It's reproduction of music is excellent!
I have paired it (fittingly) with a Crosley Keepsake Deluxe for vinyl listening and it does a fine job! As for digital music?
Amazon Music Unlimited plays superbly as do a whole bunch of other sources. At this very moment I am enjoying Harry Belafonte's joyous singing of "Dance Senora". It sounds wonderful!
This was a purchase I made for me. It's not always about me but when it is I get what I want. I think some of you may want this speaker too.

A love story that like so many before it, is at once predictable and altogether engaging. The two leads are wonderful and the supporting actors and actresses are more than believable in their respective roles.
I have seen this many times on TV and since I no longer watch "TV" (just movies!), I bought this without hesitation.
Highly recommended? Yuppers!

This is an excellent film with fine performances all around. The Blu Ray edition is more than sufficient. I say this having purchased a few 4K versions of older films only to find that the results do NOT justify the added expense of 4K.
I only purchase films I either know I will watch multiple times or at the least hope to. Having already seen this film a few times I knew it was the latter of those two possibilities.

This Western is one of the top ten of all time and Val Kilmer's performance is praise worthy beyond the silly Oscars. The Blu Ray is more than up to the film and even were it to come out in a 4K version I would not be interested in trading "up".
Very highly recommended.

...This thing would not work! No electricity except for the kind where Benjamin Franklin and his kite were concerned. Having said something ridiculous to get your attention I shall now be serious.
Oster's Air Fryer Toaster Oven (aka the OAFTO) is fantastico! Superb-A-Mundo! Excellente'! Totally bitchin', dude!
It does exactly what it claims to do. Cooks and cooks well. The timer works. The temperature settings in nigh on spot on (checked it myself with a gauge!) and here's something it never claimed that it does well.
Chicken wings? Check!
Steak? Check!
French Fries and Tator Tots? Double check?
Ice Cream? Ummmm...Don't ask. ;-)
Makes me happy I bought it. Highly recommended? Indeed.

Look, I despise being MADE to give out PII (Personally Identifiable Information) and on top of that my credit card # and code for sue but that is exactly what Roku demands for setup of this device.
Not comfortable with doing that at all and so I returned it the next day. To Hades with that.
I think Roku does it so they can get a kickback from service provides by billing them "for you". Again, no thank you, Roku.
So long as this is the way they are playing, I ain't playing. If this doesn't bother you, fine. I imagine it's a good choice although I must admit that I NEVER claim to "love" an inanimate object like this device but here we have people saying they "love it!". Pfffffft! I reserve love for family, friends and maybe pets, but a Roku streaming device? Ridiculous.
I'm taking my credit card and PII and going home to listen to music instead of watching stupid TV.
For the record, this was to be for my wife. I HATE television, LOL! I do NOT recommend this at all.

The Pioneer GM-DX874 four-channel amplifier will deliver up to 150 watts RMS to each of your front and rear speakers for powerful music. Highly efficient Class D technology keeps this powerful amp running as cool as it looks, and allows for a compact chassis that fits in a lot of out of the way spaces. The frequency response of this amplifier stretches up to 50,000 Hz, for Hi-Res Audio Certified playback. Pioneer uses high-grade electronic parts and gold-plated RCA connections to ensure maximum performance. Speaker-level inputs allow you to install this amp in a factory system with no RCA connections. The amplifier switches its input mode automatically when it detects the high-level signal, eliminating the need to run a turn-on lead to your receiver or fuse box. Built-in high- and low-pass filters let you adjust the sound for your vehicle's interior, whether you're driving speakers or subs.
 

Does this amplifier make a loud "POP!" when turning the audio system off or on, or does it have relays to prevent this annoying problem. I ask because the last time I put an amp in my truck (albeit years ago), the speakers did just that.

Would anyone care to remark on how Apple CarPlay is compared to Android Auto? I have the latter and it kinda SUCKS as it often doesn't recognize the phone is plugged in or when I speak to it it will turn the radio UP LOUD and not hear me, etc? Thx!

 Denon - AVR-S660H (75W X 5) 5.2-Ch. with HEOS 8K Ultra HD HDR Compatible AV Home Theater Receiver with Alexa - Black
Denon - AVR-S660H (75W X 5) 5.2-Ch. with HEOS 8K Ultra HD HDR Compatible AV Home Theater Receiver with Alexa - Black
The Denon AVR-S660H 5.2 Channel AVR delivers extraordinary sound quality from music, movies, and games. Ushering in a new standard for fully immersive, high-resolution home theater and listening, this AV Receiver supports Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Surround, DTS-HD Master Audio and DTS Neo:6 and delivers an unparalleled audio output. Featuring 6 HDMI inputs and 1 HDMI output, the AVR-S660H incorporates an advanced 8K video section that supports 8K/60Hz or 4K/120Hz video pass-through., BT.2020 Wide Color Gamut, High Dynamic Range (HDR), 4:4:4 Pure Color sub-sampling, along with support for 3D content. The AVR also allows high-resolution file playback with FLAC, ALAC, and WAV support, as well as DSD 2.8/5.6MHz. Built-in HEOS technology lets you enjoy your favorite music anywhere throughout your home and connect to other HEOS-enabled speakers. This high-performance AVR allows effortless and flexible voice control on all the major voice agents like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Josh.ai, Apple Siri and AirPlay 2.

Featuring wireless streaming through built-in Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and HEOS, this AVR allows you to seamlessly play music from your favorite streaming apps like Spotify, Tidal, TuneIn, Deezer, and Pandora.
 

What kind of subwoffer do I need for bass and how do I hook it up too hear it

There are two (2) SUBWOOFER pre-outs on the rear of the unit. You will need a self-powered subwoofer (they come in a variety of sizes and power outputs!) for this and an RCA type connector cable (all of my new subs came with a cable in their box) that has one male end plug for the AVR subwoofer output and either one or two male end plugs for the input on the subwoofer(s). Once installed, go into your AVR's menu to set up for the subwoofer(s). It really is easy to do and as I said, you can hook up two subs (again, if you unit has two!) if that is something you desire. I have two 10 inch subs on my home theater setup from my Denon AVR-X4300H that I bought at my local Best Buy a couple of years ago (Two 10 inch subs!) For my new Denon AVR-S660H I am using a Martin-Logan 10 inch Sub that I also bought a few years ago at Best Buy and it works great with this AVR. All the best!

Does this reciver have a center speaker hook up??

Nope! It is 2.2 Stereo (meaning 2 channels and up to 2 powered subwoofers). For that (i.e., the center speaker) you would need to move up the Denon line to one of their excellent AVR models!

I just got this model but when I plug my DVD player to phono input the sound is distorted. Is there something wrong on it? The cd and the other input is fine but I have to turn up the volume every time.

The phono input is designed for the low output of a record player (not using a built-in phono-preamp!) so you should be using one of the HDMI inputs for your DVD player (it will be marked on the HDMI Inputs as "2 DVD").

Doing so will pass video and audio from your DVD to your DRA-800H and from there via the output to your TV. marked as ".Monitor"

 Apple Watch Series 7 (GPS + Cellular) 45mm Midnight Aluminum Case with Midnight Sport Band - Midnight (Verizon)
Apple Watch Series 7 (GPS + Cellular) 45mm Midnight Aluminum Case with Midnight Sport Band - Midnight (Verizon)
The largest, most advanced Always-on Retina display yet makes everything you do with your Apple Watch Series 7 bigger and better. Series 7 is the most durable Apple Watch ever built, with an even more crack-resistant front crystal. Advanced features let you measure your blood oxygen level,¹ take an ECG anytime,² and access mindfulness and sleep tracking apps. You can also track dozens of workouts, including new tai chi and pilates.
 

Does it connect to your current phone? or does it need its own line?

As it is marked as GPS + Cellular, it has the necessary hardware to have its own cellphone line. It just means you don't need to carry your iPhone with you to make a call via this watch. I have a GPS only Apple Watch and when the iPhone is nearby and connected via Wifi?Bluetooth I can answer the call via my watch. Kinda sorta like Dick Tracy's 2-Way wrist TV. Well...kinda. Not sorta. LOL!

Either version of this watch will serve you well. So far, I don't really miss not having a watch that is also a standalone cell phone as I have my iPhone with me most of the day. And yes. The extra phone line for the watch will cost your whatever you carrier charges for another line.

 Insignia™ - 33-Lb. Portable Ice Maker
Insignia™ - 33-Lb. Portable Ice Maker
Only at Best BuyChill drinks at your next party with this Insignia portable ice maker. The compact design fits easily on the counter, while an included scoop and basket make it easy to fill drinks and empty leftover ice. With a freezing time of seven to 13 minutes, depending on cube size, this Insignia portable ice maker ensures you're never out of ice.
 

Is this portable Ice Maker easy to clean? We've had issues with a similar product in the past that made it not worth the hassle.

I have no clue if there is an official procedure but...When I am done for the day making my ice, I simply turn it off, unplug it and face the drain plug toward the sink, remove the cap and let it drain. I then dry out the easily reached areas and let it sit with the lid open for a couple of hours. That's it. It seems to work for me and I use mine a LOT.

Can be left in the back yard (patio) is it weather ( sun , rain , dust )resistant.

Ummmmm...I would NOT leave anything like an electric fan to be soaked by rain. Otherwise, my son has used ours outside while washing his truck. And no, he does not get the fan wet too, LOL! It is an electric device. Electricity and water do not mix. It is however, an excellent fan!

Bring down the temperature and improve air circulation with a reliable, high-velocity fan that works just as hard as you do. The motor is IPX4 water-resistant and outdoor rated to withstand wet outdoor conditions and tough indoor work environments. Its powder coated steel construction protects against scratches and scuffs, making it a durable option for your workshops, garages, or barns. Use it anywhere: mount it to the wall with the included hardware or use it on the floor with the included stand.
 

Do you have to plug it in a wall socket.

Yup! Cuz it's electric! And it is an excellent fan!
