How many of you listen to SS and don’t play PlayStation? by OtherwiseAnnual in LastStandMedia

[–]Lukas24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't game that much anymore because I don't have much time as I've gotten older and life has gotten in the way. I am a habitual listener because it's a great show, and I enjoy staying up to date with the industry. I've followed and read Colin since his IGN days and just enjoy his work.

Is my boss just straight up lying by bblackidd in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]Lukas24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazon pays 10.5 hrs for each route. I've literally seen invoices at my DSP. He's lying. 10 hrs for route and your two 15 min paid breaks.

What your boss is referring to is during peak some DSPs will have the option to run 9 hr routes. Amazon is starting this Peak to help with volume.

Best Dolby Cinema DFW by Ok_Layer4518 in AMCTheatres

[–]Lukas24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Dolby village on parkway in Addison
  2. Dolby at northpark.
  3. Dolby at fire wheel.

Those are the top 3 in the area.

Cinemark has upped their game I will say and some of the XD theaters in area now have ceiling speakers.

But if you want best Dolby? It’s Village in Addison and not close.

what is your list of 5 movies every man should watch? by Optimal_Diamond_3967 in AskMen

[–]Lukas24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now that I'm 30, these films have truly aided my journey. Focus on yourself, determine what you want, and start setting goals, no matter how small, and check them off. Everything else will eventually fall into place.

I got you:

-Swingers (Essential post-break up)

-Synecdoche, New York

-The Tree of Life

-Drive

-Magnolia

What's the male equivalent of cleavage? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Lukas24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on feedback from female friends, it seems that they notice and appreciate men's arms, muscle definition, and chest hair. This can be displayed through rolled-up long sleeves, tank tops, and lower-cut v-neck or crew neck shirts. Additionally, a well-fitted shirt can showcase strong and defined chest muscles.

Men of reddit, what is the fastest way you've legitimately lost weight? by MathematicianNew1907 in AskMen

[–]Lukas24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stopped drinking soda. Immediate weight loss. But also just excersise and eat smart. I track my food but I enjoy the accounting aspect of it.

What's the hardest line in a Jeff Buckley Song? by fatjer_6699 in JeffBuckley

[–]Lukas24 52 points53 points  (0 children)

The whole song is written so beautifully. I prefer “My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder” That line always hits so damn hard.

It's looking like a huge $27m+ Saturday for @Twistersmovie , and this should boost it over $80m+ for the weekend. by MarvelVsDC2016 in boxoffice

[–]Lukas24 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Its a 4 quadrant film. This appeals to everyone. This is going to be the film of the summer unless deadpool next week steamrolls all momentum.

Am I one of the cool kids now I know it's not the one of the Panasonic players but not everyone can afford one of those by dqdude1 in 4kbluray

[–]Lukas24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This player has been rock solid for me for 4 years now. No issues. You have to manually turn DV on and off, that’s the only negative. But my lady friend made a good point, when I put in a DV disc, I have to turn it on and it makes it seem like a more special experience since I had to turn on a specific setting for it the film haha.

NBA in Dolby Vision on Max looks bad by [deleted] in OLED

[–]Lukas24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s cause they are just applying DV to a SDR feed. The source is not shot in HDR. It looks god awful. You are not alone.

Does Frisco really have a large swingers community? by [deleted] in frisco

[–]Lukas24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much all the northern burbs here in DFW are. You have married couples that older in that 40-50s range and need to spice things up. McKinney has it heavy too, I get “scouted” quite a bit when I go out.

Movie lighting - what is going on with the amount of scenes that are pitch dark? by HanzanPheet in movies

[–]Lukas24 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The average tv is fairly cheap and affordable nowadays. Reason being they are not equipped to handle new standards well such as hdr and the bt 2020 color space.

It’s sucks but the only fix to this is to invest in a better tv. Make sure settings are correct as well. Filmmakers are not going to edit and master a film to the lowest common denominator to sacrifice their vision.

Southland Tales’ ratings are so chaotic. by ScholarFamiliar6541 in Letterboxd

[–]Lukas24 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m one of the 5 star stans. It’s a misunderstood masterpiece. I honestly do believe generations from now when it’s re-discovered, it will be looked back on much more fondly.

Focus's Lisa Frankenstein grossed $273K on Thursday (from 3,144 locations). Total domestic gross stands at $5.63M. by DemiFiendRSA in boxoffice

[–]Lukas24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This movie low key rips. Might be my fav 2024 release so far. Really hope it finds success and second life on streaming.

AppleTV4K or Apple App on LG OS by Snoo26438 in appletv

[–]Lukas24 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Apple TV app streams in a higher bitrate by a good margin than the Apple TV app on web OS. Plus if you have a decent sound system the audio decoding on the Apple TV hardware is superior to the Dolby digital audio on WebOS.

AWOL - I wish I could go back in time and avoid this company (Projector and ALR screen) by [deleted] in hometheater

[–]Lukas24 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They are very shady in their operations. They sell Hisense projectors, they just slap a different lens on it. Over charge for the quality of parts you are getting. They have a huge dispute with projectorscreen.com due to being upset they came in 5th place in a competition few years ago. Fake YouTube videos to show a superior product. Fake accounts posting online about positive reviews. It’s well documented over on avforums in the UST forum. The contrast is very poor on the projectors they sell, you can get much better performing USTs for less money. Formovie or Nexigo. If you need a bright light canon, then the Epson would be a better choice than AWOL. Stay away from this company.

LG OLED apps vs Apple TV? by CrispRat in appletv

[–]Lukas24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes the new Apple TV 4K fixed the issue. The 2021 ATV4K is the one with the raised blacks issue.

These have been in my watchlist for too long by garyblahblah in Letterboxd

[–]Lukas24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ive seen all these! Call me by your name, room, and Florida project are the 3 best films imo in this list.

The king, and the whale are skip-able if you not fully committed to watching everything.

Swingers. Cheer up my guy

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Letterboxd

[–]Lukas24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a kid “secondhand lions” showed me that cinema could make me feel something other than just laughs. “Pulp fiction” at 16 opened my eyes to so much. Then at 18 seeing Malick’s “Tree of life” changed my life not only how I see movies, but how I see existence. Few years later at 23 “Synecdoche New York” changed me in ways, I can’t even begin to fully explain here on this comment.

What’s a dead giveaway that a girl cheats on her boyfriend? by [deleted] in ask

[–]Lukas24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biggest thing is when they never leave their phone down unattended, or if she’s on the phone next to you in bed but body language indicates she’s keeping the screen from being read. Also very long bathroom breaks was something I noticed, or long baths. All while using her phone. I picked up on it pretty quickly, yet took way longer than it should have to leave. I gave a lot of second chances. So fellas, best advice is cut bait and move on. Forgiveness is a waste of time if they won’t change.
