@voodoo Those are Sennheiser RS 175 RF.
Never tried headphones with the TV. Bluetooth?
Keys in the name RF, rather then Bluetooth. Bluetooth does not have a good enough bandwidth for decent audio without clever compression algorithms. So you plug your analog or digital audio out into the box, it transmits it to the headset.
can they pair to more than one headset? There's often two of us wanting to watch films when kids are in bed - if the audio is great, coudl well be tempted as long as we can do more than one headset
I'm picturing you guys sitting there watching some great action movie together, headphones on, turned up loud, oblivious to one of your kids screaming for you from the bedroom after a nightmare...
they are old enough to be self-ambulatory. But yes, one did sneak down once a few years ago when we were watching, sit off the end of the sofa and watch with us. Got caught when he let out an loud, long and impressive flatulent noise. Busted!

It seems you can have 2 headphones connected with this model.

1917 - great film, only time I picked up my phone was to see if there was a map of his route out there

Yep, I definitely wanna see that again. I love me a good war flick….and that one is so well made

@mn5 don’t get me wrong, there are places where you know they cut it…but there are loads of long sequences with no cuts and even just the idea of following one character as if one long shot, was so well done

….and lets be honest, the idea of following one person for an entire film has the potential to be really shit and boring. This never was though.

Went to see Dune.
Figured I'd watch it on a big-screen, I typically don't bother, but I was optimistic about this particular project, and hungover, with poor decision-making skills.
Earlier - my lazy-brain had been trying to talk me out of it, with one of the arguments being... "It's half a story, the shit/boring-half at that, just wait until the entire thing's ready, and then watch it all in relatively-quick succession."
My rational-brain argued "nah, fuck it, we've got a plan. And by the time Part-Two becomes available, we won't be able to watch Part-One on a big-screen."
My lazy-brain was correct.
I can see that the entire story, once available - is going to be a sweet watch. But watching 2.5 hours of "developing the scene"... without the 2.5 hours of epic awesomeness climax - was just... "meh" - as the kids said 5 years ago or so. -

@kirwan said in Movie review thread...:
@kruse pretty common now for part ones like this to be released when the second one gets released.
You mean re-screened.. at the cinemas?
Yeah - I wondered about that, but...As I was writing that up earlier, I was also thinking... by the time Part Two is released - cinema-sized screens will probably be relatively common in people's houses.

@Kruse going to have to disagree, finished it about 20min ago, still on the tram home, loved it and thought they made the set up really exciting
Wife humoured me, hadn’t ever heard of dune before apparently and said she really enjoyed, she said she was sad when aqua man died but he was a long way from water….
From memory the rebellion is a pretty small part of the book anyway, by that point he’s pretty over powered and effectively walks in
I do hope the second half comes quick though, it’s not a sequel so should be able to go straight into production

Disagree?
With me?
You fucking stupid fluffybunny! DO YOUR RESEARCH!

@bovidae can’t upvote that
I really don’t understand why we don’t get more series released like LotR or some of the potter films, consecutive years really works with building the hype
A bit more now I’m home, visually spectacular, almost every shot, Special effects pretty much flawless, faithful to the book
Considering I read the book in anticipation, was underwhelmed and so was cautious, I’m looking forward to the next one

@kiwiwomble Filming doesn't start until July next year, so a lot of preparation of sets etc over the next 7-8 months.
Dune definitely needs to be seen on the big screen. Hans Zimmer's score is fantastic too.

Yeah, obviously I understand if they haven’t filmed it yet, was meaning I wish they filmed them at the same time like LotR and just released them in consecutive years

I think Dune might be a bit thought provoking and A Grade given the movies that @Kruse usually reviews.

I was soooo fucking tempted to watch Samurai Cop this evening, to wind the brain down... but decided on Venom: Carnage instead.
