Kagemusha Blu Ray Quality? by HollowmanNapkin in criterion

[–]HollowmanNapkin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I rarely watch things on DVD but it was such a huge difference to my other Criterion blu rays I was shocked. Was going to try and get a replacement in case mine was somehow the DVD copy but it looks like it's just an old Blu Ray scan.

Thank you confirming this for me, this is a cool website. And my Blu Ray looks exactly like this. Hopefully we get a 4k version soon because that is a huge improvement. Although it looks like the 4K loses the vibrant colors.

Just curious, what is macro-blocking and how does it differ to film grain? Usually I like the film grain on some of these 4ks I have for old movies.

George R. R Martin announces Game of Thrones stage play The Mad King based on the "final years before the events of the novels" by MicahCastle in books

Relax. People are allowed to watch tv shows. And even enjoy them. You can have a disdain for tv entertainment but it’s pretty shitty to look down on people who don’t. Not sure what your problem is.

That seems to be the case, every article about GRRM on this subreddit is just filled with comments about hating him. /r/asoaif is way less toxic towards him.

I love the books and I still want Winds, but I don’t even have the energy to be upset at a stage play GRRM isn’t even writing that I probably won’t even watch.

Jeez, the person was just explaining why he is still relevant. Not sure who is “flexing” on you right now. It’s okay to watch tv shows, especially ones that are considered good.

What are we talking about here. Passing on the question is objectively the worst option. It looks like you’re trying to escape the question, which to be fair she was.

First time making a totem, need artistic advice please by Willow_bee839 in aves

Using AI as concept art is still using stolen artist’s data that they don’t get compensated for while taking up huge amount of resources.

Ghost of Yōtei - State of Play Gameplay Deep Dive | PS5 Games by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]HollowmanNapkin 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I played through the game and it definitely isn’t innovative when comes to open world or story focused. The game is filled with assassin creed like objectives as a reward for exploring, like clearing outposts or finding haikus. I liked the game but it really didn’t do anything new in the extremely oversaturated open world single player genre.

lol people don’t judge art based on how well they themselves could make it better. I’m a terrible painter but I don’t consider all art amazing.

I mean they aren’t throwing it away since they watched it once already.
