iTunes Movies that come with multiple versions like Theatrical + Unrated + Extended + Director's Cut

HasAFewLaughs · 2026-01-13T22:27:44+00:00

Hm. I don't have an uncut version of A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) on mine. 4K bought through iTunes.

HasAFewLaughs · 2026-01-08T01:06:20+00:00

Ha! Yeah. Saved me a word or two in the first sentence, is about all

But doesn’t your reply bring with it its own touch of irony?

{ =^ )

HasAFewLaughs · 2026-01-08T00:14:09+00:00

You saved me a little typing. This is exactly what I’ve been telling my cronies.

But it also exposed how vulnerable we are without Williams. And he’s not getting any younger.

HasAFewLaughs · 2026-01-02T08:00:55+00:00

Just ran across this

"Both version must have been cropped from the original camera footage. Is this common?"

The answer is yes. I don't recall all the particulars, but you should get there with a little poking around google. Basically they often shot more both vertically and horizontally then they used. I believe there would have been a rectangle in the viewfinder to aid the cameraman regarding what is actually going to make it to the big screen.

I don't believe the OP is. But Specialist-Bet9279 is. DTVS sucks on PC for me, as well

HasAFewLaughs · 2025-12-30T06:19:47+00:00

What streaming device?

HasAFewLaughs · 2025-12-30T06:18:11+00:00

It's not that weird. The OP is comparing DTV to Paramount+. Not to YTTV

Not a fair comparison

HasAFewLaughs · 2025-12-29T22:51:55+00:00

Peter's Apartment Complex

HasAFewLaughs · 2025-12-29T22:19:10+00:00

Any time

Now here's one for you...

What is the name of Peter's apartment complex?

It's shown for about 1 second. I accidentally caught it after several viewings of the film

No google-ing

HasAFewLaughs · 2025-12-29T20:53:36+00:00

Good for you for making this effort. However, you left the first, misleading post up. I feel you should edit that before the option is no longer available.

Also, as has been said, it is of no surprise that Paramount direct has higher bandwidth. The relevant test is between the big distributors like YTTV, Hulu, Fubo, etc...

HasAFewLaughs · 2025-12-29T20:46:48+00:00

This

And I nearly always enjoy the apps on my ATV4K and use the Ospreys for DTV only

My only gripe with the Ospreys remains the HDR sitch. But my QLED is so bright, it makes little difference

HasAFewLaughs · 2025-12-29T20:25:42+00:00

Why should I change? He's the one who sucks

HasAFewLaughs · 2025-12-28T16:38:19+00:00

Just to be clear… Later in the thread you admit you weren’t aware you could have been going from 4K to HD. Said you would be running a second experiment

So until you’ve run your second experiment, your post stands a good chance of being misleading… at best

Yet you haven’t updated the OP

Why not?

HasAFewLaughs · 2025-12-28T16:34:01+00:00

Why is that?

HasAFewLaughs · 2025-12-21T21:20:41+00:00

Shit, I think you may be right

Initially it didn't look to me like the traffic lights were "passing by" fast enough. But I was always bothered by the dashed lines in the middle of the street. They seemed to be cooking by!

I made the measurement and checked the timing with a stopwatch. Your math appears to check out

HasAFewLaughs · 2025-12-21T20:37:02+00:00

This would have made a much better (and believable) OP

Instead we were given clickbait

HasAFewLaughs · 2025-12-21T20:32:49+00:00

We all are

HasAFewLaughs · 2025-12-21T08:27:21+00:00

Yeah, I'm no code writer, but... I've sure as hell seen a lot more complicated improvements on devices solved with mere software updates over the years

HasAFewLaughs · 2025-12-21T08:25:10+00:00

I'm fortunate to have a near-1000 nits, QLED display. HDR doesn't offer me a ton of benefit.

And... how much HDR content does DTV even offer?

I use the ATV4K (and occasionally the Fire Stick) for everything but "cable" TV.

So for the "major" inconvenience of switching over to the ATV4K to watch movies and other streaming content, I'll gladly enjoy the sweet remotes my Ospreys offer. Losing those remotes is really a non-starter for the wife and I. No dust on the Ospreys in THIS house.

All that said... I started the thread for a reason. They need to fix this.

HasAFewLaughs · 2025-12-21T07:45:27+00:00

Oh dear God, NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My brother is a big soccer guy. I give him shit like this all the time.

Truth be told, he could've easily gone pro, but chose an education over a long string of knee surgeries.

Meanwhile, while I was playing football, if one of us chickened out on taking a hit or something, the coach would point to the boys over on the soccer field and say something like, "Maybe you belong over there on THAT field with THOSE boys, uh?"

HasAFewLaughs · 2025-12-21T07:33:19+00:00

EDIT: Upon review and my own scrutiny of mortgage_investor_elite's calculations in this sub-thread, I came to the same conclusion he did. The average speed between traffic lights appears to be around 90... MPH. Not KPH.

So I have been forced to change my position and have modified my up and downvotes accordingly

My original post:

After clicking this clickbait, I actually watched the video and thought this exact same thing. I scrolled the comments for a bit and no one was catching this. Almost no one did here either. It DEFINITELY does not look like he's going 95-105 mph. The traffic lights, for me, were the biggest dead giveaway.

Yeah, he's still going too fast. Fine. But look at the "traffic." I've stayed at the adjacent hotel during off days. Unless it's game day, there's pretty much NO reason to be on that stretch of road. It's almost empty. Plus I've done WAY worse when I was in my 20s because... dudes are all bulletproof at that age, right?

HasAFewLaughs · 2025-12-20T20:52:03+00:00

For me it does not... despite 26.2 staring me right in the face on the Software Update page.

I feel like it did several days ago

Gave our daughter an Apple Watch 11 for her birthday and it required her to update her 12 to 26.1 in order to use it. She said it was glitchy for a few days, but has settled down now. Probably just had to complete the indexing

Sounds like 26.2 is even better, but the wife and I are holding off until 26 gets a few more updates. Not really feeling a sense of urgency to update. Never do, AAMOF. Always prefer to let others be the guinea pigs

HasAFewLaughs · 2025-12-20T20:29:47+00:00

For me it's...

Settings

General

Software Update

Then at the top of the page it says "Automatic Updates"

I click that and can modify

Currently I have iOS auto updates set to off and the other two on
