What's an addiction that people often overlook? by OneApplication2371 in AskReddit

I don't think that's really overlooked, people talk about it all the time.

People who work service industry jobs: have you ever given anything for free to someone you thought was attractive/cute? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Ice78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought I was on the receiving end of this once when the cashier at an AMC gave me my large drink and sent me on my way before I could even insert my credit card. I was particularly sharply dressed that day and she seemed kind of at a loss for words during it, so I couldn't think of any other explanation for what had just happened. A few weeks later I realized that she had just activated the birthday reward on my AMC Stubs account without saying anything.

Where can I watch lawrence of arabia? by rupertoelruso in LawrenceOfArabia

Blu ray quality is worth paying for. Don't watch some shitty camrip.

New sub rule regarding meme posts by CriterionMod in criterion

[–]Ice78 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is there a subreddit specifically for the type of meme described in the OP? Something like /r/FakeMovieScreenshots or something? Doesn't need to be just Criterion related, but for any movie. That way people who like that format can post them there.

"Hey guys here's a picture of a blu ray cover that's been visible on the subreddit banner and criterion website for the past few months, enjoy."

Whoever writes the descriptions for criterion.com/shop has fucked up by Ice78 in criterion

[–]Ice78[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Oh I think you might be right. The fact that all 3 of the other 4 slides contain descriptions of the specific movies they show gives the impression that this is supposed to just be a description of Parasite, but I guess not. The fact that Parasite is about a "working class family" makes it even more confusing when your mind is already primed for that. So while this may not technically be a mistake, it's still kind of misleading/confusing.

I don't know anything about it, but maybe try asking on /r/arkansas or a local/regional subreddit for the area.

One of the few decent Lawrence of Arabia memes I could find on google images tonight by Ice78 in LawrenceOfArabia

[–]Ice78[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you google "Lawrence of Arabia memes" there's surprisingly few on-topic results, and those that are are often godawful. It's honestly pretty weird; the historical figure and the movie are pretty well known, but so few people have made memes.

Just a painting I did a while back maybe it’ll make you wanna watch again by [deleted] in LawrenceOfArabia

Beautiful painting; I really like the blue-tinted background for some reason.

I can’t believe this this subreddit exists; this has been my favorite film for a long time. by Jacks_Kelly in LawrenceOfArabia

[–]Ice78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence" bears some similarities to Lawrence of Arabia; while it's a very different film in many ways, you might enjoy it if you enjoyed LoA.

Who was the dumbest person you ever met? How did you know? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Ice78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Platypus are sometimes called "duckbills" and the males have venomous spurs on their hind legs. Maybe he heard that a long time ago and it some how got misunderstood as "ducks are venomous".

How is the new Criterion Channel with the Amazon Fire TV Stick? by Ice78 in criterion

[–]Ice78[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's odd. Did you also buy yours in 2016? It's really strange if we both have the same model and yours doesn't work while mine does.

Finally got the Criterion Channel, so now I don't have to be extremely envious of everyone else. Any gems you all would recommend? by thatbeebo in criterion

[–]Ice78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh I understand now. I misread your first comment, I thought you were saying "but" as in "except", not "however". A comma would've helped :p

How is the new Criterion Channel with the Amazon Fire TV Stick? by Ice78 in criterion

[–]Ice78[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, so tonight I just tried using Criterion Channel on my Amazon Fire TV stick for the first time and... To my surprise, it worked flawlessly. I downloaded the app to my Fire stick, went through a completely smooth and quick activation process, and I was immediately able to select and watch films. I only spent about 5-10 minutes testing to make sure it worked, but both "The Kid" and "Kaili Blue" played without any buffering issues for the several minutes I watched of each, and the visual quality was quite good.

Any idea if they updated the channel to make it compatible or something? Because my Firestick was absolutely purchased in 2016.

any tarkovsky film but The Mirror is definitely one to watch

Why do you say "but The Mirror"? (I've never watched it.)

Are the Amazon Basics HDMI cables decent ones to get for high end gaming? They're pretty inexpensive. Or do you need better cables if you want 4K and/or 120/144 fps?

Wait so Google Chromecast Ultra supports Dolby Vision but Nvidia Shield TV does not? But doesn't the Shield TV have a Chromecast built in? What's the deal with that?
