I happen to be moving to Europe for unrelated reasons, unironically you should consider something similar if you can. Fuck this place.

The hardware definitely is worth it. I have one and absolutely love it. Most people just customize it after the fact. I haven’t yet, but plan to. Especially with retro achievements.

Yeah I remember that post on Reddit. Holy shit my mans literally ran like 1000ft of copper through his ceiling into his house’s plumbing lmao. He also had a WILD monitor setup, was more like a pit than a desk.

You shoot HDE files on the Alexa35? My post team recently got back a mag that Premiere (even Beta) absolutely refused to read even after trying it run it through Arri’s HDE decoder software. Couldn’t get it to load on Avid either, but could just be lacking some weird extension. Had to make ProRes transcodes through Resolve which was painful af to toss all that quality out.

“Wait it’s not just shooting brown people?!”

Just another Tuesday for speedrunners. They built different.

I can that dude is rocking a pretty cool overcoat

Hell or High Water is a pretty accurate depiction of how shittily our government treats our vets I’d say though. The small town struggles of everything that isn’t owned by 3 corporations closing is pretty realistic too. Just needed more meth/heroin to be authentic.

Yeah fr mad respect for Kim on this.

Lmao I feel ya man I played that when it first came out, it really was strangely addictive.

Damn are you me? Like literally my go-to for lunch too haha

Walks in, assumes you’re stupid, adds nothing, leaves.

On the knife bit it’s no huge deal, it’s not ruining anything, just hone them often. Our knives would get gangbanged all night in the kitchen, they’re designed to have the angle of attack adjusted. - ex chef

Since production companies never release the IMAX DCPs of their screeners to like BD/DVD printers, I’d guess it would be pretty hard to find outside a leak from their own offices (IIRC DCP drives sent to theaters are encrypted ROMs).

For other examples I’m pretty sure The Dark Night and Dark Night Rises had 1:1.43 scenes in it. I feel like Blade Runner 2049 should’ve been IMAX if it wasn’t haha. Not sure if it had the budget though.

Dude Zendaya’s so galactically out of your league Neil deGrasse Tyson could do a StarTalk episode on it.

This is unsettling

Yuh glad I got my Miyouu before they get sued into the shadow realm

Also ExFor series where the UN’s only starship is run by the US Army. But that’s more… a consequence of events that lead an infantry soldier to inexplicably be in command of a starship. He even mentions how unusual the whole situation is, and to be in command over actual UN Navy officers. But he remains in command through being the only experienced skipper of a space warship in all of humanity regardless of being in the Army.

He also muses that starships wouldn’t be best to be crewed by blue water navy forces, but rather submariners because they too cannot go above deck and are accustomed to long deployments in a tube. A lot of space warfare in that series is sensor evasion and standoff engagements, also like subs.

Haha also has funny lines like “I tossed the ball against the wall. I guess I should call it a bulkhead but I’m in the Army and we call them walls”

Hmmm it’s hard to say because its theme is definitely similar to The Wind Rises in that it’s semi autobiographical about his childhood during WWII. However it has more of Myazaki’s trademark mystical elements than TWR.

For me I genuinely loved it and thought it poetically blended aspects of his real childhood and how time distorts memory. It’s kind of a culmination of his old work and his more “realism” movies like TWR. In the end, it stands as a unique work of art as anyone would expect from a Miyazaki film. Highly recommend it.

As a note, Mark Hamill and Robert Pattinson were particularly exceptional performances in the Eng version.

Yep exactly this. I’m pretty tech oriented and even I was confused about the concept of instances at first.

Highly recommend sitting in a cafe in Montmartre Paris. Especially one looking down those spindly small roads. Excellent place to watch humanity on a micro scale.
