   I hear it's going to be in 4K with HDR.  Hopefully that also applies to   
   the commercials since the movie trailers are the only part of the super   
   bowl I care about.

   On Sunday I went to the movies and watched:   
      
   Sentimental Value - New movie from director Joachim Trier.  The movie   
   stars Stellan Skarsgård as a famous Norwegian film director who is   
   estranged from his two daughters, but pops up in their lives again after   
   he writes a semi autobiographical scripts and wants his actress daughter   
   to star in it.  This was not on my radar at all, but then it went got 8   
   academy award nominations, so I was obliged to give it a watch.  I knew   
   almost nothing about the movie going into it and was more than a little   
   annoyed when it turned out to be a foreign film with subtitles.   
   Although the movie also stars Elle Fanning as a famous American actress   
   who Skarsgård's character approaches to star in his movie, and all of   
   her scenes are in English. Anyway, this movie was 100% pure pretensions   
   art house Oscar bait.  I'm not saying it's a bad movie, but the *only*   
   reason I went to see it was all the nominations, and now that I've   
   watched it, I can make an informed decision to root for something else   
   to win the awards on Oscar night.
