That Thing You Do - Home Theater Movie Review
Click to expand...
Great movie. Love it. Currently crippled on K following the HD Compatibility Update. Here's what's STILL missing:

Extended Version (!!!)
Music Video: Feel Alright
The Wonders! Big in Japan!
The Story of the Wonders
Making That Thing You Do!
HBO First Look: The Making of That Thing You Do!

It's unfortunate that more than two years after the release of the Strato V we still have titles like this missing significant components.

@thrillcat as you mention the Extended Cut in the video you obviously still have it on a Terra. Don't delete it! You'll lose the Extended Cut. Also, if you decide to move to a Strato K you'll lose the ability to play it. It sucks that owners have to make these decisions.
 
Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense

Edit: I see you did list one song from Stop Making Sense.

Hans Zimmer, Eric Clapton!

I have a different view (likely unpopular) of the Hans Zimmer Live in Prague BluRay which I own and regret buying. The spectacle is impressive as are the numerous famous musicians/artists.

I don't understand all the enthusiasm for this recording. Yes, the song choice is impressive but it just doesn't sound as good as it should. The music itself is a mishmash of flat sound with everything overlapping resulting in indistinct instruments and overshadowing of other musicians. I think it was recorded poorly or the microphones were not set up properly or perhaps it was the mix. This is not an uncommon result in recordings of live concerts.

Furthermore, while HZ is an incredible talent, he is a "jack of all trades master of none" when playing lead on multiple instruments himself. Why did he need to do this when he had world class musicians on the stage?

He listed the concert at #4 then mentioned two songs that were particular favorites of his. He mentioned his favorite track on all of the concerts.

I don’t watch a lot of YouTube videos, although I have watched a few by @thrillcat . In this case, I just looked at the script list and initially missed Talking Heads. I might have to watch the video now just to see what he has to say about Stop Making Sense because he picked a deep cut for his script.

Okay, I watched the video. Nice job! Lots of good discussion about the selections. I was convinced to add Muse: Simulation Theory to my watch list!

I've been on K for over a year and don't recall ever seeing concerts on sale.

Now that I think about it, I think you’re right. For movies, patience can be rewarded, but concerts seem to be “take it or leave it” pricing.
 
In the 13 months I've owned my system, the only concerts from my wishlist I saw pop up on sale were:

December 23, 2025
4K Stop Making Sense $24.99 $14.99
HD The Last Waltz $24.99 $14.99

Sep. 2, 2026
4K Billie Eilish: Hit Me Hard and Soft — The Tour $19.99 $14.99
