Unless the Nokia 215 is aiming to be the next Obamaphone
You mean Reaganphone, since it was Reagan that signed the law creating "Lifeline service" not President Obama.
Even when signed in, I could not play any games, due to a too-tight reliance on PSN's services.
"Any" games? Or just multiplayer ones, because single player games and single-player modes worked just fine. I played Diablo UEE on the PS4 during some of the outage, it defaulted to LAN mode when it couldn't reach PSN.
1) Facebook but with the posts in chronological order messenger built in.
2) A keyboard that's the same as the default, just with a row of number keys on top.
3) A video player that can reliably stream any video file that's on my Mac to my phone if I'm in wifi range.
The "TEAM" owns the original rights to that video and they have probably sold the viewing rights to another company (Perhaps a sports broadcaster/TV network/website) You've probably seen the disclaimer at the end of live TV broadcasts referring to rebroadcast/retransmission.
If that team is american it has probably sold the rights to an american company...who may not have the rights to "re-broadcast" in Canada.
Not that one. This one is the closest to me now:
On New Years, one of my digital sub channels had a Cary Grant day. No action or violence, no CGI, no gratuitous nudity, just a story - and they were wonderful and funny.
I think he himself said he was a comedic actor trapped in a leading man's body. Pair him with some competent co-stars, like Kate Hepburn in her rapid-fire delivery prime and watch magic happen.
The only time my wife and I go to the movies anymore is to the drive-in.
What is this "drive-in" you speak of?
All kidding aside, I live in a town that once had one...decades back. Horrible horrible sound though, even compared to crappy small town theatres.
and I got a Sony DTS receiver at the flea market
Lucky find and good you had the skills to fix it. I think it depends on where you live, and how affluent the area is. Haven't seen any good deals like that locally...yet. (small town illinois)
There's just so much good stuff that other people are treating as crap out there.
Indeed.
That is true.
just left a bad taste in ones mouth (Ender's Game).
You could say that about the LDS propaganda that is the book. Yeah "Kid born to LDS parents who flouted the overpopulation based rules to have him, saves the world, by comitting genocide." How subtle.
Sorry but bluray sucks. Sony sucks.
Blu-ray is a consortium format, Sony alone didn't create it.
Also the fact that 99% of bluray disks have previews that cannot be skipped or fast forwarded
Most blu-rays make it EASIER to skip previews than DVD
Most people are happy with DVD quality and see no reason to buy bluray disks.
The difference is quite noticeable. Perhaps if "most people" didn't buy crap blu-ray players and hook them up via RF.
The only way that bluray disks sell at all is that these days you have to buy the bluray disk packaged with the DVD disk to get the DVD disk much of the time.
I wish they'd stop packing in the DVD's. I just want the blu-ray, not a DVD. The only reason I would get a DVD is if I can't get a Blu-Ray. That's been the case for me since 2008.
But you have to wait several months and avoid spoilers in the meantime.
Not a big deal for most films. It's not like most are "The Usual Suspects" or "The Crying Game". And that really doesn't matter for a film like...
the film Hop
Hop? Hop? Are you 8?
And most people's audio systems are likely not up to par with that of a theater.
A lot of theatres have crappy sound...even compared to the built in speakers on a TV.
The musicals of
Stop right there. Musicals don't appeal to the 15-25 year old male demographic. While women will watch movies made for that demographic, the reverse isn't as true now.
It's part of the dudebro-ization of American culture, and musicals have been partitioned into "things for women and the gays"....by Madison Avenue no less. While that tendency has always existed to a certain extent, it's being encouraged more these days. The Tony's once had viewership of 20 million...back in 1974. Now it's around 6 - 8 million. I'm old enough to remember when TV in general made a big deal about Andrea McArdle being cast as Annie in the Broadway musical.
It's even affected PBS. No more Classical music, not even the "Flying dutchman", Shakespeare, or I Claudius, or Nutcracker production at Christmas...it's Red Green, and Dr. Who.
When I was a kid we had a 24-inch low-def tube with two front-facing speakers.
Dagnabbit spoiled whippersnappers. Criminy, I can remember when back in good ol days when 21" and ONE speaker was the standard, and we liked it by gum. Now get off my lawn.
It wasn't that long ago that 27" was the standard with 32-36 being the deluxe size. I've joked that the housing bubble was caused by people buying houses larger than they could afford just to have a living room large enough for their oversized TV.
