Yes have I have prime. Tend to prefer Movies over tv shows due to the plot having a resolution personal preference. But If just killing time tv shows are great can watch full seasons if a show is really good tons of content. Am guilty of binging prison break and game of thrones though. Any thoughts on Billions?

bishopshodan Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) I think I am going to watch 'Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy' again at some point over the holidays. So much fun. Still have watch the new Dune too. For none spacey, If you have not ever seen 'Snatch' that is one of my fav movies of all time. Oh, I have a yearning to watch 'The 13th Warrior' again too. Shot up here on the Island. Good flick. Edited December 20, 2021 by bishopshodan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other hilarious shows (to me): Blackadder, Extras, Life's Too Short, An Idiot Abroad. As far as movies: Maverick, Mean Girls, What We Do In the Shadows (TV series is awesome too), Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead, Wedding Crashers, Starsky & Hutch. None of these are particularly new however so I don't know how they'd look on your fancy TV. It's tough finding good 4K content outside of steaming services Netflix and Amazon prime. On regular cable tv channels I mean sports wise they don't even have all the big NFL games or Canucks games in 4k yet. TSN has only 1 decidated 4k channel same as Sportsnet... I mean we have 8K tvs now and high end computer's with unbelievable graphics and picture quality. I originally wanted to get an OLED but realized it was pretty pointless with most content these days still at 720P and 1080P at best. I know it can up convert the signal so it produces a slightly better picture but it's not comparable to a true native 4K signal. Watching regular shoes and movies on tv vs watching on Netflix or Amazon the picture quality are like old DVDs vs a BlueRay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 4k 49inch tv and, watching a hockey game for instance, I sometimes switch between the 4k Sportsnet channel and the high-def channel and I honestly don't see very much difference in picture quality.

Sp3nny Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Very underrated show that I never see anyone mention, but its newer and on Prime I believe. Its called 'I See You'. Fantastic thriller, with a plot that keeps you guessing until the end. Have told a handful of people to watch and every one has come back saying they liked it.

It's supposed to be 70inch diagonally it's a Sony Bravia the X900H to be specific. In order to see the difference it's not a huge difference honestly like it was going to HD finally after all those standard definition days. Apparently you have to sit much closer to the screen and have a comparatively closer viewing distance to see the different pixel quality difference. There is a chart somewhere but basically at a certain distance of more than 10 feet away from the TV you dont see much difference. The best picture I from new Netflix movies and Amazon prime. They have 4k content specifically optimized for modern tvs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billions is solid. The Expanse is a good sci fi show. Don't recall which service shows it. Most of my favorite movies are dramas, but here's a few action and comedy movies that I recommend (I'll stick to 10 of each). Action: Braveheart Drive End of Watch Sin City Man on Fire Django Unchained Payback Boondock Saints Eastern Promises The Dark Knight Comedy: Van Wilder Office Space Napoleon Dynamite Galaxy Quest The Other Guys Monty Python and the Holy Grail Zoolander Groundhog Day Harold and Kumar Go To Whitecastle Blast From the Past 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very kind of mellow movie on the outside but has some good meaning and life lessons the deeper you get into it. Free guy was OK too. Ryan Reynolds is great in most every comedy movie. Have to say though the best movie of 2021 that I have seen so far is King Richard about the father of the Williams sisters in Tennis. Some movies I thought were way to overhyped like Dune. Suicide squad was a major disappointment. Just don't understand the inflated rotten tomatoes scores from critics and audience alike. James Bond was good but thought the ending was a little cheesy. On my list to watch at some point will be the new Spider-Man , Matrix movie and the long awaited sequel to Top gun Maverick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
