They are speakers... Just very, very small ones.
 
 
 
 
Whoa! Alex, that is one seriously good, and good looking, piece of kit!

I have always wondered about that myself. It's like they lost the original recording and therefore used the backup on cassette tape instead. 
 
 
I think I've seen the same 70mm blow up in Antwerpen. 

Believe it or not, but everybody claims that about the sci-fi movie they like. "Over 10 years (fill in title) will be considered a masterpiece, just like Blade Runner ... blah, blah, ..." I've read this a thousand times. But in the case of 2049, it will be the other way around. The film is critically acclaimed and liked all over the world. However, it didn't break any new grounds. It's not a milestone. It's not ahead of its time. Loved today, forgotten tomorrow. Much like 2010: The Year We Make Contact.

Some of it looks wannabe Game of Thrones. My kid has faith in this (then again, he thinks GOT is overrated). I'm afraid that I'll always see Henry Cavill and not the character he's playing. Does anybody have the same problem?

I'm glad that at least one person saw what I was doing there. 
 
 
 
 
It's probably the moment where you woke up. 

Yes, no subs. Of course, it's an open-back headphone. Closed-back headphones have always more sub-bass. However, some reviewers talk about deep bass, others say not to expect a lot of bass because of the open-back system. They sound really impressive on the Pioneer A9 but I feel the bass could have done with 2 or 3 dB more. Again, bass is more pronounced on the Denon (a brand famous for warm its sound) so it's probably just a matter of buying the right headphone amp. 

I've been recommending these for years on here Alex but gave up because the KM's of the world only want headphones that cost four figures.

Who's the more emotionally inept? Those who need melodrama or those who prefer subtlety? 

Actually, that's the '70s, like those Pioneer receivers I posted not too long ago. 

What an unusual but lovely design this vintage Philips receiver has:
 

Am I the only one who loves the look of these classic Pioneer receivers?
 

 
You want to touch them, feel them, caress them ...
 

Over the years, speakers have become smaller and thinner because people didn't like how it destroyed the look of their living room. But to be honest, I don't understand that at all.
 

 
Big speakers enhance the living room! 

It's more than good enough for the human hearing. Remember, tests have shown people don't even hear the difference between good or superb MP3 files. 

A reason why so many people don't find The Shining scary is because it can be just as easily viewed as a dark comedy. Jack Nicholson's performance is pretty comical. You don't need to feel scared in order to like this film. Indeed, there's the special atmosphere, but also the entertaining dark comedy aspect, and above all, Kubrick's cinematic mastery. That's why I watch The Shining, never because I wanna feel scared.

Not too long ago we all agreed that The Shining was never scary. 

Perhaps calling it a film is too generous, but it's more like an extended episode. I don't know if it could be called an epilogue either, because it pertains to Jesse's character alone. 
 
I think what might be disappointing to some is that it's very bare film and smaller in scale - it doesn't present a full story arc like the series either, it's just 'more' of Breaking Bad. 

Watched two episodes of that with the kid and we thought it was pretty bad. Very annoying characters. Is that a Netflix production? The Boys is way better. Hopefully The Boys will get a bigger budget for its second season.

Too bad Criterion likes to do region locking.

Of course he's right. Personally, I don't have a problem with superhero movies, but the thing that worries me is how boring cinema has become when it comes to diversity. That's why I am glad that streaming services such as Netflix have become the new risk-takers.

A severe case of Discoitus.

he's right you know 

They need to sort out the title cards for these YouTube trailers, the play button is strategically placed over the characters' faces!

He's running with the playbutton!
