Too bad......Not so good

I love Thickers and these are a great color... HOWEVER, I ordered these and they arrived looking like the photos. I figured it was a fluke and asked for them to be replaced.  Today, I got the second set and they look like this again... Completely unusable!  OK - it is really hot, and maybe that contributed,so be forewarned... maybe don't order Thickers if it is hot?  I don't know, but I won't be reordering again.  Sad, too, because they are really cute!

greg kinnear / alan arkin , good stuff (little miss sunshine pair), wanted to like this story.  the story of greg's demise as he makes strings of bad decisions with bad luck is ok.  the final "gotcha, nothing was what you thought" was pretty bad and annoying, and one could blow a hundred holes in the idea, but it's not worth the time.  I guess the ending is supposed to explain why alan's acting is so ungodly bad in the movie, however it doesn't take back the pain of the tacky performance.  It seems like he almost broke out laughing in a few scenes because his character and dialogue were ridiculous.  Greg and Billy tried to bring some drama, but the script and concept are really a dog overall.  Don't watch this movie... it may give you a case of hypothermia... uff !

Lost interest when the au th h o r had Casey killed off.  There just wasn,t any need for  that.  If I read the  rest o f the book maybe Danny will lead a rebellion against  the evil Lot...maybe not......I will never know or care....too dark...too ...warped for me.  There must be a niche for that kind of stuff. ...... and maybe Walh has targeted it.  Too bad since it appears that this author Walh has talent......but this story just rubbed 'm e the wrong way....so it,s not the book it,s me.

I for one was dissapointed.....not even close to what the original was.....This lacked Oomph, Panache what ever you want to call it.....What happened to the rest of the old crew, they could have came back as parents at least that would have helped this thing.....What happened to Santa Carla...Now Malibu....they tried to make up for story with campyness and sillyness,too much damn gore and nudity.

The screenplay by Hans Rodionoff was terrible....What a waste of 21 years....I am a "B" Movie lover but this this was a complete "F"

Sorry, My Opinion...

This was a product I was wanting to like, really.  My first non-PC-based mp3 player was something I really looked forward to.  Unfortunately, despite some truly attractive and useful features and generally good performance, I have now shelved the unit for good and will likely return it to Amazon.
First, the Good:
* The SmarTrax navigation system worked tolerably well, a must when playing disks with 200 or more tracks on them.  Enough of the track info was displayed to know what I was playing and moving through the list was easy, though sometimes a bit slow.
* Playback was of generally good sonic quality, though it became a little ragged at upper volumes on particularly "hot" tracks.
* The bass boost mode was very helpful when using earphones that are lacking at the lower end of the audible spectrum.
The Bad:
* Setup menu navigation is at times frustrating as the software constantly insists on taking you back to the play screen, forcing you to invoke the menu system over and over to complete your setup.
* The track list doesn't show track titles for CDs, only mp3s.  I'm sure such data are available, but the RCA just calls them track 1,2,3...
* The unit turns itself off after only a couple of minutes paused.  I don't know if this is a technical requirement to avoid damaging the disc, but I do know getting to track #127 again is a hassle after you pause it to go get a Coke down the hall.  RCA might tweak the next generation to allow the unit to remain powered and in stand-by if it's on the AC adapter (as mine was).
The ugly:
* The headphones.  Ugh.  Non-adjustable, flimsy, poor phone-to-ear connection (indeed if you can even get a connection...I was only able to get the earpads to my ears when I put the 'phones on from the back of my head).  If you simply have to have this player, do yourself a favor and get a decent set of 'buds or 'phones.
* Here's the thing that disqualifies this unit, IMHO: it skips.  Yes, I know it has a 3/6/13 minute anti-skip, but I'm not talking about physical shock-related skipping, but software glitch skipping.  I used this player at my desk at work and it never experienced a shock greater than a dropped pen or telephone handset hang-up. Yet every few minutes a 0.5 second dropout or omission occurred in the music. At times there was a short silence, but most of the time it was as if an entire quarter note was missing from the song.  The drop-outs happened on both CD and mp3-encoded discs, home-burned and factory-burned media alike.  CD players have been around for 20 years or more...I don't think anyone need tolerate this sort of defect anymore in a player.
Normally, I would have said that for the relatively low price I could live with the quirky menus, irritating automatic shut-off and mystery track names on CDs...I was even willing to pop for a set of good earbuds.  But when I found my teeth grinding at yet another sonic hiccup in the middle of Warren Zevon's artful piano riffs in "Frank and Jesse James," I knew this player's days were numbered.

these headphone`s are horrible...waited for the warm weather  to use these...decide to go shore fishing with them ...first they kept on cutting in and out before it finally paired up..started walking the shore line and the music kept skipping...and skipping and skipping....so I figured maybe because my phone is in my cargo pants side pocket that might be a problem....so I decided to stop at a bridge and fish from there without moving....except to cast my lure ....placed my phone on a rock approx 3 maybe 4 feet away....still the music`s cutting in and out...decided to shut it down unpair it again and start over...paired up once again ....same outcome...the sweet sound of music skipping...but this time the volume is down low...tried to turn it up....nothing...shut it down...turn it back on ....it decides to unpair from my phone...pair it back up...get the volume to work...music is still skipping...oh...wait ...just caught a fish...now I`m deciding ...maybe this fish can get more use from this device than me...so I ask...fish do you want a pair of wireless headphones slightly used ..as I looked into its marble eyes...thats when I knew...even the fish knew I was an idiot for buying them...

I wanted to like this movie.  I really did.  The idea was a good one - unfortunately it is poorly executed.  From the slow moving script, to the 70's era back music, to the bad acting - it was all just too much to suffer through after about 30-40 minutes.  I'm sure there was redemption but I (and the rest of my family) needed to be redeemed from the agony of sitting through the entirety.  It was that bad.  Every stereotype is overdone and the guy who's supposed to be the most sympathetic character comes off as a scary stocker.  He's begging everyone to give him a chance to do an honest day's work to earn a meager wage, with an appropriate bible verse ready to roll off his tongue at all the right moments,  but he's confrontational, aggressive and nearly yelling at everyone he's asking help of - most of whom are the among the most downright heartless people imaginable toward him.  Even so, I would call the cops on him too if he persisted in my personal space after ambushing me at the back door of my business - yes, even though I'm a Christian.  It was almost laughable. Though we didn't make it to the end, I'm confident that everything was wrapped up in a neat little package and everyone lived happily ever after.  Surely there are more excellent modern day representations out there.  Much more enjoyable, with still not the greatest acting overall, was The Secret of Jonathan Sperry.  Our 10 year old son especially enjoyed that one.  I imagine I'll catch flack about this review but I'm sticking to it.  It could have spread what Jesus in action looks like today in an excellent way but it falls short.

Yeah..... This wasn't that good of a movie.... I hated it.... And I've seen much better. I don't see why its rated 4 out of 5 stars. Just saying.

I really wanted this book to be good and fun to read...but it just didn't happen. I struggled with the writers style and thought the book was poorly written overall.  The fight scenes lack luster and many of the small story lines unfinished and not thought out. I will not be reading anymore of these books unless they are forced upon me. Major let down.
  Refund anyone?

So I loved the idea of them, but the execution is not good. VERY overpriced. Everyone is right about the bluetooth being so terrible, which wasn't a huge deal because I just uploaded my music, but when paying this much for a headphone the bluetooth should be better. The controls are a bit finicky.  My biggest issue is that while swimming the sound cuts in and out. Then I was swimming on saturday and the left bud just fell out of its casing and floated away. I am so disappointed. I can't figure out how to report this and to make a request for a replacement one. I hope that they will send me a replacement bud so I can at least use them to run with still.

They sounds quite good.....but......

1) Don't seat well in ear- I tried every earpiece in the set- none of the pieces gave me as good of a fit as other headphones
2) Not good for working out- bulkier than I expected. Slide all around with the least amount of sweat. Audio gets janky with fit not being "perfect"
3) Bluetooth connections is spotty- audio constantly cuts out and back in while in use. I use Android and have not experienced this issue with other headphones
4) After several months of use, the headphones started to give a 100% volume hiss and crackle at random times several times/song. Obviously, this could damage hearing. Ripping the headphones in half seemed to solve the issue.

Time for a new pair.....from a different brand.

I really tried to like it more..... but really, this is the sad story of a sad family of almost Greek tragic proportions.... - Bad things getting always worse.  At times it was boring and even though the author tries (and it certainly looks like - she can not hide it) to surprise you, after a moment a tragic existence became more tragic, and more tragic.... and so on.... The plot in itself is good. The possible intention of overwhelming the reader with the fact that racism is a terrible thing, gave the book another connotation.  And did not contribute to the quality of the book.

Really wanted to like this product, but unfortunately it has too many problems.  Seems like those of us that own it are beta testers for a promising product.  Cannot recommend this at this time.

Everything seems right about it but, after buying this device just barely 2weeks ago, it began to fail and one day after failing, it wouldn't charge anymore. Completely dead. This is just after a maximum of one month's purchase.
Poor, too bad.
Don't buy!

I am dumbfound right now. I can't belive this one hold that many positive reviewes.
at firstt. looking good. even my wife, who abhor any more gadget around the house, liked it.
but soon we found the speaker is not enjoyable at all; my iphone/my kindle tablet speakers are much better than this.
and what the heck is the microphone feedback; it's not usuable;

...and that's where this book will leave you. I'm obviously in the minority here but this author's books have become way too dark and depressing. I didn't care for the characters and found it such a chore to continue through this book that I stopped halfway. There are too many good books out there to waste your time on bad ones and this was definitely a bad one. Don't waste your money.
