Eric,
Sorry, not much time for the forum. My yard could host WWII trench reenactments. Traded off some of this major ordeal to afford more revamping (need new retaining wall next) as soon as we can. I helped fill in a 6’ deep 50’ trench this weekend. Today I can’t move! Am getting new sewer, gas, water, to main house (cottage) and ½ bath up + utility sink down in new-ish 2 story garage 100 ft away which never had water to date. Project will go on while longer. Have One trench left all around garage, and major shopping for odds/ends, before the plumber and inspector can all finish. Then I get to cut/paste TILE!
The night we saw the film, I was more than ready for distraction and I enjoyed it thoroughly going in with my much lowered sequel-itis expectations. The guys with me that evening stated, - It was Okay and shrugged, but following week when discussing it they seemed to decide they had really enjoyed it. And since acquiring DVD have all played it a couple of times.
Never seen a groundbreaker action-adv or sci-fi, fantasy, - topped by its sequel (s). (Alien, Predator LOTR, SW’s etc). Part of what you enjoy, sets, costumes, monster physiognomy is old hat and not so awesome second time around.
The ST is a fun/fun demo, for my 950/770 and a couple of floorstanders with SW. For the guys who enjoy thundering the HT area with some busy surrounds at moments, - it’s a disc worth owing.
Have a nice kiss :}
and welcome home…!
