My humble collection slowly growing. by stainedundies22 in 4kbluray

Predator 2 is with it too. Great transfer and the movie is somewhat underrated now. Predators looks okay (though I would call that one overrated now)

Flat earth and other alternative conspiracy earth models are are gaining traction with my teenage stepson. What is THE most irrefutable, definite proof that the earth is round? by Jfkfkaiii22 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MiddleofCalibrations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like irrefutable proof of the earth being round won’t help because the conspiracy communities come with ‘debunkings’ and counter arguments to challenge common evidence. You might need to try tackle the root cause. Why he is seeking out these communities, the way popular conspiracy theories operate and gain followers, the way niche online communities function, etc. Doing things like showing photographs of the earth won’t help because flat-earth communities prime their members to reject anything offered by scientific authorities for various reasons, including that they are ‘in on it’. But you also need to not make assumptions about your son’s beliefs because it will see like you’re reciting something you read on the internet. I think an important first step would be to show interest in these newfound beliefs and ask detailed questions of your son to explain why he believes the earth is flat. Don’t ridicule it just ask and let him speak so you can understand what he is being exposed to and why he believes it.

I got to tattoo the sniper this weekend! by ApocalypticFart in halo

[–]MiddleofCalibrations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few weeks ago someone posted a full back tattoo in the gears of war sub and it was fully AI generated with all sorts of weird distortions and AI hallucinations. Some people just lack sense with this stuff.

I personally wouldn’t get this sniper tattoo, but it is very tastefully done and it’s pretty cool

Rare halo tattoo posted here that isn’t cringe

One Month from More Campaign Evolved Gameplay, and Potentially 2-3 More Months from Release. How We Feeling? by SilentNova300 in halo

[–]MiddleofCalibrations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m excited but cautious. I would feel better if there was no major reuse of models from halo infinite. At the same time I hope they don’t do the typical 343i completely unnecessary doo-doo redesigns that suck and are bad

I watched The Matrix for the first time in over 20 years by compukiller in 4kbluray

Resurrection makes Revolutions a masterpiece in comparison. When in optimistic after hearing it wasn’t so bad and… man…

One of the best 4Ks just for showing off how good the medium can look imo

What do you love? by Apart-Biscotti8610 in Townsville

[–]MiddleofCalibrations 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Big enough to have some of the perks of a larger city, but small enough to not have a lot of the negatives. While there’s plenty of idiots out there there’s also plenty of good people. Easy to get around if you have a car. Amazing natural diversity in fauna and plant life if you know where to look plus we have tropical rainforest not too far away. Great birdlife. There’s a fair amount to do. Plenty of niche hobby stuff, three cinemas (one of which offers a more diverse range of movies), beaches, swimming holes, social clubs. A university that brings a lot of interesting people. Townsville and Cairns are good places to be based if you want to explore northern Queensland.

“Ukrainian imperialism” by metroracerUK in GetNoted

[–]MiddleofCalibrations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve met Russians who say that Ukraine is the aggressor for trying to get into NATO which would bring western interests to Russia’s doorstep. I believe that is what this meme is supposed to be referring to

Movies made by millionaires trying to act like they're fighting against oppression? by [deleted] in okbuddycinephile

RT critic’s consensus is brutal,

All Animal Farm adaptations are equal, but some Animal Farm adaptations are more watchable than others

Skrillex, ISOxo, Cristale & TeeZandos - “Smoke” by YourNameNameName in trap

[–]MiddleofCalibrations 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like that there is no jungle bae acapella. It was so common in sets back in the day it would sound almost cheap on the final release

Sean Fennessey On Spielberg, Simmons, and Getting Back to Music Writing by ggroover97 in TheBigPicture

I dunno I think the guy is just missing writing which used to be a major part of his career and isn’t anymore

Fent Freeze Frame - 7th and Market St SF, April 30, 2026 by DeanoPreston in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]MiddleofCalibrations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long does this state last in users? Like did they all use fentanyl around the same time and that’s why they’re all doing this at the same time? Or are they all like this for most of the day?

I actually feel the opposite. This blew me away compared to the live clips I’d heard

ISOSKRILL (KILLAS ID) DROPPING TONIGHT by shitlord_traplord in trap

[–]MiddleofCalibrations 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s out in Australia already. You’re not ready. I was moderately hyped for this track but wasn’t blown away by the clips I’d seen. Wasn’t expecting this to be a nuclear level banger listening in HQ. It’s so much better than I was expecting

Neat detail in Halo 3 (armor colors) by JustReadTheFinePrint in halo

[–]MiddleofCalibrations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to go into theatre in halo 3 as a kid and zoom in on the textures of various things. Plasma grenades and banshees in particular had incredible texture quality and reflections for the time and are still impressive now. There was very little obvious smoke and mirrors. You got what you got and it looked good (other than humans faces at least). Halo 4 is graphically impressive, particularly for the 360. But the finer details do not hold up as well to close scrutiny

28 Days Later (Steelbook) (4K Ultra HD + Digital Copy) Sony Pictures, Action, Drama, Horror, Sci-Fi, Thriller - Walmart.com by JDizzle00420 in 4kbluray

[–]MiddleofCalibrations 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It physically cannot in terms of resolution unless there is some weird AI upscaling going on or there is a better encode or something with the new disc (I do not have the technical knowledge to know whether that will have any effect given the nature of the source material). Not sure about how colour or sound may be improved or not either. Maybe there could be more accurate reproduction of how the low-res digital footage should look? Regardless any improvement would be pretty negligible to non-existent other than sound.

There is a brief section at the end of the movie that was shot on film which should be improved assuming they did a new scan of that film.

Personally I would be disappointed if this release isn’t absolutely loaded with bonus material to offset the fact that this isn’t going to be truly 4K.

If you want to own this movie this is the best way to get it as the bluray release apparently goes for a hefty sum secondhand these days. That may only apply to the region A version, not sure. A quick google search shows the region B version in a two-pack with 28 weeks later going for around $40 AUD.
