It picks up once the kumite starts. Evidently, it's might be based on a true story, and JCVD's character was a real person, but it seems like quite a few people doubt his stories and believe them to be tall tales, including his description of the kumite and his role in it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was decent but it could have been better I thought with a few changes. I thought they crammed too many characters into the movie, so most of them (even though the audience knew them already) had very little character development. It was like, the 'bones' were there for a good story, but they never really developed it that much because every 5 minutes it was 'time' for another star to get some screentime. I was still entertained though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Series seems to capture the vibes. Might have to restart it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampD Posted Saturday at 01:11 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 01:11 PM Definitely going to watch Fallout. Watched Three Body Problem. It was great, but I think I’m going to switch over to the book series. Then it will be longer until I have to find the next thing to watch.

bunomatic Posted Saturday at 05:21 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 05:21 PM Loving the limited series thing on Netflix. Just don’t have the time nor the desire to invest in season long series. 8 to 10 episodes is so bingeworthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a fun experience, and the movie wasn't half bad either. The last time I was at an Imax was for Top Gun Maverick. I get the big screen, the more powerful sound. But to me it's kinda like 3d....it's kinda fun to get the 3d effect, or the louder sound, the huge screen for the first few minutes, but I 'adjust' to all of that 5 minutes in and then don't notice much of a difference. Its kinda like what happened with a TV in our house. We don't have so much a 'man cave', but we have an extra room in the house where I keep my computer and have a TV in there, a nice chair and couch, etc. its a small room, but I used to have a 65" TV in there with a surround sound system. Don't ask me why, but when the Tv started 'acting up', I replaced it with a 50 incher and a basic soundbar (no subwoofer even). At first I was like...why did I do this, its not as good, but by 2 days later, I was totally fine with it and didn't even miss the old tv or sound system. As for as Dune, I'm going to give it a try again. I remember years and years ago seeing the original, and wasn't a fan of it. When the remake came out a few years ago, I thought about going to the theater to see it and didn't...then when it was available at home I watched it for about 20 minutes and didn't get into it and never finished it. I think its just the type of thing I have to commit to, so in the next month or so I WILL watch the first one (from a few years ago) all the way through, and then get ready for Dune 2.

This is how I feel about resolution, but not sound quality. I just bought a new tv that apparently is significantly better than my old in terms of picture quality, but I don’t see it. Things just look the way they do. Sound quality I notice immediately though and will usually pay for if it’s affordable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you know that they’ve done tests, and better sound quality fools people into thinking that the picture is clearer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfreeman Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago I'm kinda lukewarm on "3 Body Problem." Still very high on "Shogun." Will probably try "Fallout" next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
