But I do get lazy now and again, or just in the mood to listen via the DAC. I play my vinyl more than my digital, despite the fact that my digital collection is far bigger.

If that combo is just average or below, a digital recording will sound better. My question is, why record vinyl to digital exactly? In order to get great sound from vinyl, one needs a great playback system (cartridge, arm, table, phonostage). Jeff, I tinkered with this a while back, but I dropped the project pretty quickly.

The ability of the state to deport Albanians who do make the crossing is still in question though, with the immigration minister yesterday admitting that only hundreds had been sent back since a new "gold standard" deal was signed with Tirana in December. Nevertheless, the statistics Mr Sunak quoted regarding Albanians do appear to show a significant drop in both asylum claims being accepted and individuals arriving on the south coast.

As it stands, he saw himself in little Danny’s attempts to do things by himself, without help and to assert himself as the smallest person in a large household and in a big house. I would have paused it - or stopped it - if my 6 year old got any more agitated by the storyline. This is not a film I would allow my children to watch solo with no discerning adult nearby. This freaked him out, so I held him in my lap and assured him all would be well in five movie minutes. As for my youngest child, he curled up in my lap at certain parts and was afraid when the lizard men came upstairs, hunting for human meat. And for my oldest child, it’s a trip because he has yet to see their more adult films, and when he does he will have a better understanding of their career trajectories.

The portrayal of sibling rivalry was astutely written, not over the top and completely relatable for all of us. Older brother is physical and into baseball and football and ESPN Sportscenter and little brother is trying very hard not to be considered “a baby.” Upon re-watching this, I felt like someone had been in my house and was writing a story for my two little boys, a story about brotherly love and teamwork. The then-children in the film - Josh Hutcherson played the older brother Walter - and Jonah Bobo portrayed little brother Danny - are entirely different types of kids.
