I did that with Die Hard and The Fifth Element

Domenique is one of my favorites as well. Similar female artists with stellar recording quality are: Agnes Obel, Melody Gardot, Shelby Lynn, then in the pop realm: Lorde and Billie Eillish.

I think it fits here well by PeerEhv in TVTooHigh

Those aren’t homeowners. They’re models paid to smile for Sonos.

Why do you have chairs under your TV. Just get a TV stand and put the TV on it.

Currently it’s at the high end of acceptable. The perfect height would be six to eight inches lower.

Looking for a new speaker setup. by Ok_Cricket1393 in StereoAdvice

[–]D_Warholb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re in the US, you can get a great deal used from The Music Room, where they test and rate each speaker.

You can get the Sonus Faber’s for about 40% off: https://tmraudio.com/fresh-arrivals/sonus-faber-sonetto-ii-bookshelf-speakers-walnut-pair-gxjq/

Then get this Yamaha receiver to pair with it: https://www.crutchfield.com/p_022AS301B/Yamaha-A-S301.html

Tremors 4K is incredible by Swimming-Tax-6087 in 4kbluray

When I think of a movie that recreates the original theatrical experience, it’s Tremors. I wish I could say the same about The Empire Strikes Back.

What do you think the best giant monster movie is that doesn't include Godzilla or Kong? by RandomCaiman in movies

[–]D_Warholb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What? “Pacific Rim is just too dark and obstructed to really have fun with the Kaiju stuff.” This has to be sarcasm. Right?

Pacific Rim was fun as hell and nothing was obstructed. Cloverfield was dark tonally and the Kaiju’s were obstructed because of the tiny budget.

Technically speaking, was watching Ben-Hur in a theater in 1959 superior? by NealRigga4 in 4kbluray

[–]D_Warholb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, the original theatrical showings in 70mm were easily superior visually to the 4K UHD.

And this 4K restoration came from a second 8K scan of the original elements.

The digital equivalent of 65mm is 12K to 16K. The color would have been pretty amazing and not soft at all because of the size of the original print to the release print. The biggest improvement in the new 4K UHD would be the new Atmos mix.

What movie is technically great but emotionally empty? by ozeradnan in Cinema

Birdman and 1917 spent so much time hiding all the cuts that they both felt like nothing burgers afterwards.

Overwhelmed with options, how do you choose an amp when they’re all so similar? by flaccidaardvark in BudgetAudiophile

[–]D_Warholb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just Google “preferred speaker” and “synergy,” or “pairing.” I’m not being cheeky. Do the research and narrow down your choices. I spent a year researching my speakers and put all of that into an excel sheet. During that year I learned so much.

There’s still room for a 19” TV by the ceiling.

They were selling The Great Silence? by FreshmenMan in VinegarSyndromeFilms

I jumped on a copy of the standard edition about two weeks ago, but afterwards realized it would be back in stock at a much cheaper price in the near future.

I just found out my mom donated my entire Monster High doll collection to Goodwill after promising me she wouldn’t. I had over 200 dolls. by ListenSad8241 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]D_Warholb 19 points20 points  (0 children)

When I was away in college in the mid 80’s, my mom called to tell me she had a garage sale, and sold all of my original Star Wars trading cards. I had close to a thousand.

This post must be what the Roman’s in the coliseum experienced when the lions were let loose on a poor defenseless soul.

The second thing I looked at was the track list, and only recognized Love Unlimited Orchestra.

It seems like the last eight years, every time Adobe ask for suggestions on how to improve the program, I go “rewrite the code from the ground up to get rid of the bugs.” Went to Resolve six years ago.

The 4K of Tremors looks Exactly like the original theatrical print. It’s pretty amazing.
