I still watch Shrek every few years and it somehow never gets old. When I was younger I mostly laughed at Donkey and the obvious jokes, but watching it now there’s a lot more in there that I completely missed as a kid. I’m not sure I’d buy this release again if I already owned the previous UHD, but the Atmos track and all the extras are tempting. Donkey is still probably my favorite part of the movie, Eddie Murphy just makes every scene better. Did anyone notice a real difference with the new Atmos mix in any specific scene?
If you already own the 20th Anniversary edition, I'm not sure I would pay full price for the Atmos and slightly crisper video. All but one of the supplements are the same. When I did my comparison, I watched the opening chase of Donkey when he first meets Shrek, the Dragon escape sequence, and the brawl and the differences were very subtle to my ears. Both the DTS:X and Atmos sound very good.

My neighbor just bought a Samsung from Costco (not labeled for outdoors, but he figured for $300 if it lasted 3-5 years he'd be happy). Granted, I'm in California where we don't get snow and in his case his TV is covered 100% by a patio cover and never gets wet (outside of fog and dew, which we get throughout the winter). I think it's been 5 years already and the TV is still going strong.
My neighbor's TV is still going strong. Granted, being in California helps because we don't have snow were I live. Just sun and rain.

A friend of mine put a normal TV on a covered patio and for the first few months it seemed totally fine. Then after one summer it started acting up, probably from the humidity and temperature changes, and during the day the screen was pretty hard to see anyway. Since then I would probably buy an outdoor model if the TV is going to stay there all season. If the patio is really well covered and you can bring the TV inside for winter, a normal one might still be enough

“ in the brightest day, the blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight”
Let those who worship evils might be wear my power, Green Lantern’s light.
If you don’t mind, there is something very disturbing to me about the Green Lantern TV show. Throughout its history, DC Comics. (and other publishers) have deprived their creators of their proper credits, and, frankly, the proper compensation.
For over 30 years DC Comics did not acknowledge that Siegel and Schuster created Superman and deserved compensation for it. It took a huge effort by many people in the industry to have the two finally acknowledged and they got a credit in the 1978 Superman movie.
Bill Finger was the co-creator of Batman and they took DC about 70 years to acknowledge that.
H.G. Peter was the co-creator an artist for Wonder Woman. He created her costume and the look of the strip. And he drew this trip for about the first 20 years. But his name was not put on the movie.
Even recently, on the movie, Supergirl, her creators were not mentioned as her creators. The movie at the very end of the final credits, where most people have left the theater, just said thank you to Otto Binder and Al Plastino. They are not mentioned at the beginning when they give the major acknowledgments.
But at the very beginning of every Spider-Man movie, for example, when listing the credits they always mention “ Spider-Man created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko.
Well, the original Green Lantern of the 1940s was created by Bill (Batman) Finger and Martin Nodell.
The series was revived in the 1950s by John Broome and Gil Kane. They are not given any credit whatsoever on the Green Lantern TV show.

So, my wife and I have made it to Season 7, and the Christmas episode is our favorite of the series. It turns out, the story was done by a 10th grade English class out of Los Angeles. Here's the backstory that's well worth watching:
Great story!

Greetings,
Nice review Dave. I found the Atmos track to be an improvement over the DTS:X track. Not night and day, but more nuanced with pointed use of nearfield effects. As for the video, I agree, this one offered a noticeable improvement in the areas your mention.
Regards,
Hmmm...any particular scenes that stood out?
