Oh man... they released the movie on HBO Max so I'm glad I didn't have to pay for tickets. I love Dune, but this movie was way too damn slow and it was only half the movie. I don't get why the hell they decided to try and drag out Dune into a Lord of the Rings style duology or trilogy. The special effects were top notch and the actors nailed their respective roles, but there isn't much to talk about if you've seen the original movie because they basically rehashed the first half of the original movie, except slower with extended scenes to fill an entire 2 1/2 hours. The best thing about Dune (2021) is the CG and costumes. I wish they'd have finished the entire movie.

The final season was good and I'm glad the show got a proper ending. Netflix did great.

I finally watched the second and third Matrix movies a couple months ago.. wow the plot and quality of those films dropped off a cliff compared to the first movie. Its like they decided to make Nero the equivalent of Jesus while at the same time having the plot so chopped up that it must have inspired all kinds of theories about how Nero and all the humans must have been born repeatedly going thru a loop of man vs. machines and the machine powered city of Zion was powered and controlled by the machines just to keep the experiment going.. or maybe all of them were technically in another simulation that was making them believe they were living outside the matrix, like a matrix within the matrix. lol. So we get Matrix Resurrections last month and it was kind of boring to me. I know Keanu is getting old now, but he is still able to do action based on the recent John Wick movies, but the lack of him doing a bunch of kung fu battling really thru me off. I'm still surprised humans can actually live in a real city outside the Matrix. In one of the sequel movies it looked like they were all too busy having a city wide orgy party to really care about fighting for the survival of humanity.

Season 4 was better than season 3. The third season had too much high school drama and constant fighting. The season 4 tournament was really good. My quote from season 3.. lmao! They literally threw this statement about who the favorite kid is right in the parent's faces. I'm guessing the son will now start to learn karate so he can fight the other kid.

Alot of the movies and tv shows filmed during late 2020 and 2021 during the peak of covid are so obvious to me now. The minimal cast members, the lack of extras, filming in locations that don't need alot of people in the background. This trailer screams covid protocols to me... that and Silent Hill. I don't know what they have planned with this haunted house or why their story brought them to this location, but at least Stranger Things writers aren't ripping off "Beyond: Two Souls" anymore. I was looking forward to seeing Eleven join the CIA and go on some awesome missions but I guess that wont happen, unless they decide to resume copying the game and they do that in season 5 which I still think might happen because they have to wait for the actors to age a bit more.

Twilight Princess was an awesome game. I might have to pass on buying a Switch and buy whatever the next Nintendo system will be and buy all the switch games I want to play on it. I'm tempted to watch a play through of BOTW but I'm still holding off because I want to play it myself someday. That's actually a good point. I always thought of them more like beanie babies with a fancier scan-able tag.

Congrats on making good money! When a truck breaks down do you just stay there on the side of the road waiting for the company to send a repair crew out or do they send another truck and load all the stuff onto the new truck and off you go to finish the job? 🤔

Not on the modem or router as long as both are relatively new in the last year or two as well as any ethernet cables you have connecting them to each other and to your PC or other devices. The majority of them, like the one I linked to can easily do "up to 3 Gbps Speeds, (2402 Mbps on 5 GHz band and 574 Mbps on 2.4 GHz band)" in all directions, downloading, uploading or transferring between computers or devices on the same network. The biggest issue with uploading is the maximum upload speed of your internet connection. Like I have spectrum internet 200mpbs internet. But even though that download speed is great for me, the upload speed for that tier of internet is only 10 mbps. Its horrendously slow for uploading. When I would upload video clips of gameplay to youtube, it could take a while. Thats how alot of the internet companies get upgrades is because people like to stream their games on twitch or youtube. Alot of those people will pay for the next tier or two higher account just for the better upload speeds. Generally 10 mbps upload is fine for most people since its all thats necessary for all the devices in that home to send out requests to websites, like a click, or typing in a website address or sending a couple pics in an email. But in terms of viewing streaming content, netflix recommends 10 mbps download for each tv streaming in HD and I think 30 mpbs download for each 4k stream. So if someone wants to stream their game online to twich, they should have a minimum of 20 mbps upload, 10 for regular use, and 10 just for that stream and even then there could be some potential pixilation. I wish Verizon fios would be available near me so I could switch to them. Fiber optic internet plans have the same upload speed as the download, so a Verizon Fios plan of 200mbps would be 200 mbps download and 200 mbps upload.
