  1. More details at their site. It's tech heavy but it doesn't have anything that wows me in comparison to the competition. I'm all for EVs but the hype train ended 2 years ago and I think many of the new expensive EVs are doomed just like the Fisker Ocean but probably not as spectacularly. Especially since you can get a pre-owned EV for significantly less which I'm looking at buying probably this year. https://www.shm-afeela.com/en/
  2. Very interested in the nVidia RTX 50xx GPUs to finally replace my 5 year old gaming PC with RTX2060. Also, apparently EVs are still a thing at CES and Sony is stupid af expecting people to pay $90K to $110K for their EV when you can buy a LUCID Air for less. https://www.engadget.com/transporta...-1-ev-reservations-at-ces-2025-011826937.html
  3. $23 is a ridiculous price for Netflix 4K imho. I think streaming (satellite radio included) is hoping subscribers won't care or notice in their monthly billing or... are too lazy to put in the effort to pause/cancel a subscription. I cancelled my SiriusXM satellite radio subscription last year. Even though it was about $12/month it was still a waste of money as I work from home and never listened to it at home too. It's much how I felt about the excess streaming (Prime, Apple+, Netlfix and Crunchyroll) services I had till I picked what gave me the best value which was P+ and the MAX/Hulu/D+ bundle and cancelled the rest. We'll periodically sign up for certain streaming services to binge a series we really enjoy but will it be short for a month or two. New seasons of Squid Game or Stranger Things on Netflix is an example.
  4. You can find streaming deals here and there. For example I have the MAX/Hulu/D+ bundle for $30/month however I read it doesn't support 4K. I also have a yearly subscription with Paramount+ for $60 year, I was able to get that price when I was in the midst of cancelling the service over a month ago. You may be able to find streaming promotions or cash back deals with your credit card too. I earn 6% cash back with my American Express Blue Cash Preferred for streaming services. AE also had a promotion for P+ (ad free) where I earned $13 cash back last month so in total it ended up coming to $44/year which is an amazing deal!! I currently don't have the other services as we don't watch that much TV because of time.
  5. Watching LANDMAN on Paramount+, really good Taylor Sheridan modern western series that keeps us hooked. Billy Bob Thornton and Ali Larter are great, especially Ali who has aged amazingly. Highly recommended.
  6. Very much so. NOSFERATU is the rare anti-Hollywood vampire film meaning it won't make vampires mainstream again which is a good thing. That being said Lily Rose Depp and Nicholas Hoult both deserve Oscar best acting nominations. Eggers for best director and for best make-up nominations too.
  7. Just returned home from seeing NOSFERATU with my wife. Good movie just like Egger's previous films. Though its not for an audience that is expecting typical vampire films of the past. I had friends that didn't like it for that reason. Oh well.
  8. While I'm sure it will be well made but can't we get something original from Hollywood please??
  9. LOL, the same can be said about the last Superman, Henry Cavill, who is also a supernerd and Warhammer 40K.
  10. We have Samsung Android Galaxy Tab A7 tablets for our children. Its good enough for them to watch Youtube, play games on and such. Much more affordable ($100) than iPads but can't compare tech wise since we're an Android house. Recommend checking out local tech hardware stores to compare.
  11. Dafne Keen is a much better actress than Amandla Stenberg who was so wooden and unlikable in both her characters. How come they didn't give Dafne the starring role?? So many mistakes in this series but I place most of the blame on Kathleen Kennedy giving the wrong show runner the job. To this day. How does KK still have a job at Disney??!!??
  12. Ehhh, HBO also gave a second season to Raised by Wolves before cancelling it. I'm one of the few that did enjoy that series tho. Oh, and it also starred Travis Fimmel too!!
  13. It'll be interesting to hear John Murphy's take on the new Superman soundtrack. Will he create a new theme or "borrow" John William's?
  14. I do dislike Clark Kent's curly mushroom hair style. Don't know why young men think its cool because like most fashionable hair styles it won't age well.
  15. Its a new direction by going full comic book. Maybe something I can take my kids to? We shall see.
  16. l expect this film to make mad money.
  17. Came across this game trailer that looks very much Zoids (among other things) inspired, May check it out soon.
  18. No surprise. Its been years since I bought a blu-ray. If there is a movie I truly love I'll buy a digital copy, which I hadn't done in years too. However not every movie is on digital.
  19. A new AMERICAN PSYCHO film?? Mind you this is not a remake of the original film with Christian Bale but a fresh adaptation of the book its based on. I never read the book but the original film is so iconic and meme worthy. Austin Butler is an excellent actor so count me in as... interested. https://www.ign.com/articles/austin-butler-to-play-patrick-batman-in-luca-guadagninos-new-american-psycho-movie
  20. No hard feeling on Big s, LOL. It's all good here 🙂
  21. IGN gave this a 5 out 10. Basically summarized this as a glorified and shorter than expected game trailers which is very disappointing.
