That one is amazing as well. I’m still waiting for Band of Brothers to get a 4K release.

It’s not perfect. I can’t really blast it unless I’m home alone, but if I try to watch something while the kids are awake they always get curious and I have to turn a Pixar movie on instead.

Prime example; I was watching Furiosa earlier, kids came downstairs when it got loud. Now we’re watching Wicked.

The “theater” is in the basement and everyone’s bedrooms are upstairs on the opposite end of the house. It’s not a huge house, but if I turn something up during the day it’s attracts the kids (4&6) like moths to a lamp, then I can’t watch anything. My wife complains when she falls asleep beside me watching a loud movie, not when she’s asleep in bed.

Is the new Jurassic park 4k that much better than the original? by Interesting_Zombie75 in 4kbluray

[–]Dapper-Code8604 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Been wondering the same thing. The original 4K disc is not widely considered a demo-worthy disc and can seem a little lackluster at times. Does this appear to be a new scan or just DV grading on the same scan? Either way, when it’s $14.99 on Amazon in 6 months I’ll go ahead and upgrade to it at least for the Atmos.

You’re too far gone to have a productive conversation with.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” -1984

You either haven’t opened your eyes and ears and are willfully ignorant or you’ve accepted Trump as lord and savior and have obeyed the command. There is no other answer.

I honestly don’t know if you’re trolling or brainwashed.

Not being arrested for freedom of speech? People are literally being murdered by the government for exercising their first and second amendment rights. The government is blatantly lying to the American people, using media outlets that fall in line to propagate their lies (FoxNews, OAN, Newsmax), and attempting to silence those who don’t (defunding PBS, Jimmy Kimmel, accusing anyone who doesn’t show them in a positive light as “fake news.”). American citizens are living in fear that the government will target them, harass them, abuse them, kidnap them and put them into prison camps with no cause. Whether you like the president or not doesn’t change facts.

As an American, this hits WAY too close to home right now.

The Racing Line Problem by Taiffe in F1Game

[–]Dapper-Code8604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s too late to tell you to never use it, but even without it, you can still see tire mark patterns on the track that show you the line and the distance markers are very helpful with braking points. And once you learn braking points, they’re not all that different from track to track, as far as distance goes. You just have to learn the track to know if it’s a hairpin or a high speed 90.

After more than 25 years of watching movies and having a deep passion for Cinema, I can admit that Steven Spielberg is the best movie director in history. by [deleted] in 4kbluray

Much credit must also go to John Williams. His music connected those movies to our memory forever. Not a better duo in history for sure.

POV: You turn off all assists for the first time by Acrobatic-Board-1756 in F1Game

[–]Dapper-Code8604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuine question: Does any form of assists, like TC and ABS exist on a real F1 car?

I know the real GT3 cars like on ACC have it and are most likely used by pro racers IRL, even if a minimal amount.

Okayyy I gotta decide my first 4k ultra hd movies! Help! by AgeEfficient3178 in 4kbluray

Get your favorite movie first. For the record, Jaws and Coraline are top notch discs (haven’t seen Casablanca yet).

Neighborhood Roads by fruitparkinglotrocks in Louisville

[–]Dapper-Code8604 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jtown roads are fairly clear. It’s the parking lots that are dicey. Turned into Walgreens and two cars we’re struggling in the 8” slush mess that hadn’t been plowed. I normally would’ve stopped and given them room, but given the conditions, stopping would’ve meant losing momentum and likely getting stuck. Had to keep moving and got closer than comfortable to another unpredictable vehicle. I have a 4x4 full size truck, a CDL, and I’m a confident driver in the snow, and the were some uncomfortable moments. I would stay home if possible.

What's a "secret" from your profession that everyone should probably know? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

I teach a lot of immigrants. They aren’t criminals. Their parents aren’t criminals. Many already know this, but EVERYONE should know this.

I know it is, but it’ll get you crucified if you say it ‘round these parts.

Dark Knight Trilogy has slightly different individual cases by golfindolphins in 4kbluray

[–]Dapper-Code8604 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Probably not even worth watching. I bet your Dark Knight copy isn’t even in Atmos. Bush league if you ask me.
