@JonesTheBond2 This was the best Sir Roger ever looked as Bond in his 7 films.

Can’t get ‘Flight into Space’ out of my head after Sunday’s concert, so #NowWatching 1979’s Moonraker I’m really looking forward to just sitting back and really drinking this one in Stunningly beautiful to look at and listen to this one #JamesBond #BondFans #Moonraker

@monstroso Great news!

I told you I had an announcement to make.

@anishmoonka I always watch the 1080p Blu-ray of films. Sound and picture quality are far superior to streamed 4k. I find Disney the worst, Netflix mid ground and Prime best in terms of audio/picture quality.

Your Netflix "4K" stream and a 4K disc put the same number of pixels on your screen. But the disc version of a two-hour movie is about 70 gigabytes. The stream is about 14. Same pixels, roughly five times less data filling them. You see it first in dark scenes. The stream doesn't have enough data to tell dark grey from black, so your TV just mashes it all into chunky blocks. Then you notice sunsets looking like a paint-by-numbers, with visible stripes where smooth color should be. Film grain is probably the biggest casualty. Directors add that slightly textured look on purpose to make movies feel cinematic. Streaming compression reads it as noise and wipes it. That's where the weirdly plastic, waxy look on a good OLED comes from. One comparison I can't stop thinking about. A regular 1080p Blu-ray (the older HD format, not even 4K) pushes about 40 megabits of data per second to fill 2 million pixels. A 4K stream pushes 15-25 to fill 8 million pixels. Four times the pixels. Less data. A plain HD disc from 2008 can look sharper than a brand new 4K stream. Sound is worse. Netflix sends "Dolby Atmos" audio at about 768 kilobits per second, compressed, with parts of the original permanently deleted. A disc sends TrueHD Atmos at up to 18,000, lossless, nothing removed. Up to 23x more sound data. If dialogue sounds flat when you're streaming, that's not your speakers. Netflix is getting better at this. As of late 2025, 30% of their streaming runs on a newer compression method called AV1, the same picture at a third less data. They also strip film grain out before compressing, then rebuild it on your TV during playback. Saves over a third on file size for most content, and up to two-thirds for really grainy movies. The rebuilt grain looks solid. The tradeoff won't go away, though. Netflix has to deliver a file that works over spotty rural Wi-Fi and gigabit fiber, adjusting quality frame by frame to whatever your connection can handle. A disc reads plastic. Same quality every time.

@PotterWorldW Plenty of time for them to sort the colour grading out.

Completely different vibe with the Dursleys now compared to the Dursleys back then.

@G33kyMick Terrible stories and writing started with discovery series 3.... SNW is fun, but not exactly challenging. As a sequel to discovery I gave this one a miss... The trailers and marketing did it no favours either.

Upsetting news to hear #StarTrek Starfleet Academy will not go past Season 2. The fandom's inability to embrace any new storytelling outside of nostalgia might as well be the death knell for the fandom.

@dublin_damo This will be a good!

Working on a list of my top 10 favourite pubs in Ireland that I've been to so far, people love a list, and it's been too long since I did one.

@BBCSportWales Only one Scott????

@BBCSportWales 🤔🙄🤣🤣 Gas stuff.

Former Wales captain Sam Warburton has named his 2026 Six Nations Team of the Tournament - with three Welsh players included! 🏉 Agree? Disagree? Let us know your thoughts! ⤵️ #BBCRugby

The older I get, and see modern film making (some good, enjoyable etc). But I appreciate more and more films like The Towering Inferno, The Lord of the Rings, and GoldenEye! (To name a few). Less and real spectacle. #lotr #007 #movies

@LeeJarvis10 Terrible today, interfered with both teams at the breakdown. Only plus was not using the TMO.

Luke Pearce 👌 Best Referee in the World 🌎 Convince me otherwise ? Always enjoy the game when he refs as he doesn't make it all about himself instead he puts the players at centre stage.

@slatterywill Doris and Beirne!!!!!!

That Ireland win ticked every box Scrum stood up Attack looked slick Crowley kicked much better Doris & Beirne immense Sheehan back to his best Bench was a bomb squad McCloskey in Player of the Tournament form Wings carried on from Twickenham Paris feels a year ago

@CorkGourmetGuy Ireland put him under immense pressure in the first half. Forcing a number of errors. He was significantly better in the second half though, and really caused problems for Ireland.

Finn Russell has been comprehensively outplayed by Jack Crowley today. Ireland have done a great job of keeping Russell quiet for the most part but Crowley has had far more influence on the game with an assured, mature performance. #IREvSCO #SIXNATIONS

@GRCinemaTicket My tied favorites!

Pierce Brosnan or Roger Moore ??

@jim_demps Best 6 in the world

Tadhg Beirne is a one man wrecking crew. Made the tackle after the bump on Furlong and won the penalty in the Irish 22 with Scotland rumbling. He’s worth points on the scoreboard.

@CianTracey1 Fixed his kicking. Great to see

Statement performance from Jack Crowley today. Ran the team brilliantly, attack hummed, kicked beautifully, stood up defensively and came up with a brilliant try-saving tackle at a crucial stage of the second-half. Best out-half on the pitch.

@rugbyontnt Scotland were great!

A 12th successive defeat against their Irish nemesis. Scotland fans, what's your three word summary of that campaign? ✍️

@Richie_Allen I disagree with you on Sexton (Farrell was a much better tackler though).

Tadgh Beirne is the best player I've ever seen wear an Irish jersey. Sexton wasn't better than prime Farrell. JGP wasn't better than Aaron Smith or Dupont. While there isn't a better 6 in world rugby than Beirne. Simply none. Outrageous player. #SixNations #IREvSCO

@Richie_Allen Beirne had to double effort today to get over the ref.

@KarlBrophy 100% of 50/50s went to Scotland. Interfered with both teams at the breakdown. Beirnes efforts unrecognised. On the plus side he avoided the TMO completely.

@KarlBrophy Like Pearce had a mare, Ireland wine despite his best efforts!

Tadhg Beirne walking around the pitch with a baby in his hands after the match. I think it’s his but there’s a very good chance he stole it from the Scots. #IREvSCO
