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. ;-)

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.

Bring vibrant visuals to your screen anywhere, anytime with the versatility of a 360 degree hinge, long battery life and simultaneous pen and touch support.
Can the battery be replaced? Is the battery rechargeable via USB? Can the RAM be upgraded? And finally, what is the rating on the NITS for this unit? My 4K gaming laptop is getting the battery replaced now by Best Buy and it is only 2.5 years old.

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.

Apple - iPhone 11 Pro Max 256GB - Midnight Green (Verizon)
Shoot amazing videos and photos with the Ultra Wide, Wide, and Telephoto cameras. Capture your best low-light photos with Night mode. Watch HDR movies and shows on the 6.5-inch Super Retina XDR display – the brightest iPhone display yet.¹ Experience unprecedented performance with A13 Bionic for gaming, augmented reality (AR), and photography. And get all-day battery life² and a new level of water resistance.³ All in the first iPhone powerful enough to be called Pro.
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!

Apple - iPhone SE (2nd generation) 256GB (Unlocked)
iPhone SE is the most powerful 4.7-inch iPhone ever.¹ Featuring A13 Bionic, the fastest chip in a smartphone, for incredible performance in apps, games, and photography. Portrait mode for studio-quality portraits and six lighting effects. Next-generation Smart HDR for incredible detail across highlights and shadows. Cinematic-quality 4K video. And all the advanced features of iOS. With long battery life² and water resistance,³ it's so much of the iPhone you love, in a not so big size.
Is Apple CarPlay any more reliable that Android Auto? Primary use is as a phone but when in my vehicles I use Android Auto for music and that app seems VERY "buggy", including connection problems out the wazoo! I have just about had it! Thx!

I just bought one today and it goes back tomorrow and all because it DEMANDS that I enter a credit card number and PII, Personally Identifiable Information. Why is this necessary to register and use a Roku or any device for that matter?

Hi! I bought the adaptor (at my local Best Buy) that allows me to use loose leaf tea or ground coffee. It works just fine for me. I have also put standard tea bags in my cup and then just let the machine pour hot water in there. And yup. It works just fine too.
Hope this helps!

Denon - Heos 1 HS2 Wireless Speaker for Streaming Music - White
Enjoy enhanced audio clarity as you listen to streaming music with this Denon HEOS speaker. A custom mid-woofer and dome tweeter pick up nuanced sounds, and a sealed enclosure provides protection from humidity, so you can use this speaker in any room in your home. With its compact size, this Denon HEOS speaker fits neatly in small spaces.
Would this speakers work as Dolby atmos ceiling speakers using a denon ace-x4300h, also who's ready?
I don't think so. I have that same AV Reciever and just hooked up all 9 speakers (plus two powered subwoofers) and there doesn't seem to be anything in the menu's setup guide indicating you could use Heos for the Atmos speakers. All the same, all the best to you in trying.
