What Are You Watching Now?

Forgotten how good this is. Very enjoyable.
Too long for me to watch the third tonight I think.

Damn Smaug movie was engaging..technical spec up from LoTR too.
•••••

Not quite as graphic as Surgeons but well done real life trauma cases.

After talking to my financial guru friend - who was in the very epicentre of 2008 - I was inspired to find a documentary on American cults

Was MAGA one of them?

So I'm undecided as to watching the whole LoTR cycle next but I think not not now.
This was well done. The improvement in the craft over the years very evident.



Well that was unexpected to segue directly into Rings of Power
Maybe a good idea


Terrific casting

I first saw Lawrence in **Winterbone** and was very impressed.
I thought later work she ended up over exposed but enjoy her in **Hunger Games** which really reminds me of the original **Roller Ball** .

Switched out from completing Surgeons on Prime to Critical on Netflix for the real life medical episodes.
Amazing what can be done...fair bit of motorcycle traumas in the mix.
Reattaching finger, bringing a hand with the nerves, tendons and both artery and vein severed back to to function....unreal.
Very engaging...takes my mind off my own current issue that has not resolved.

Forgot I bought a used standard Blue Ray set of GofT was annoyed as the first disc was very hiccupy tho it always recovered. It had some handling marks on it but think the rest are fine.

Second half of the disc and the second disc are fine and questioning my decision to buy 4k Blu Ray instead of the much less expensive standard Blu Ray.

I finished reading the cycle and watched it on the laptop but the upscaling on the new 4k screen and the HDR makes for a much more satisfying cinematic experience.

Terrific sound too.

Either the player or the TV upscales 1080P to near 4k...there is lots of chatter on line if 4k Blu Ray is enough of an upgrade. :unsure:

Certainly in this case even sitting near file at a meter I'm completely engaged and immersed in the sound and image and have no technical annoyances at all.

No grain in the image

This is mind blowing
