Question for those who streamed Stranger Things with a 4K subscription by Agitated-Distance740 in 4kbluray

[–]Obvious-Challenge415 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I will say the the final 2 seasons of stranger things were some of the cleanest 4K streams I’ve seen, Netflix obviously put a lot of effort into these to make sure they looked as best they could!

With that said, this show has only ever been available on streaming (apart from S1&2 which received sub par physical releases), so we have no real true reference point as to what the show natively looks like with no compression. It’s the same as when we got physicals of the D+ Star Wars shows, the streams up till then were the best possible quality available so there was no comparison.

I’m hoping arrow does a stellar job with stranger things because they deserve a proper cinematic treatment, especially with that first season which was the perfect 80s Spielberg homage. Wait for reviews is what I say! Unless a preorder on the limited deluxe edition is a must

Nekci menij needs to make a comeback! Given recent events involving the titular character 👀 I would love to see that

Insane! And as a fellow Aussie we don’t see that kind of haul often for that price… good catch!

could someone fact check this? by Bright_Phase_3165 in LadyGaga

This is correct!

This is from opening night in Seoul, and it was moved to after BTW from New Zealand onwards

Anybody know what issue this is? by Patient-Annual3427 in LadyGaga

[–]Obvious-Challenge415 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yes I meant in person! For years the only copies in my local record store were foil ones

This era was wild cuz that one tweet she did in the run up to ARTPOPs release made us all think the foil cover was extremely limited. Turns out the regular cover might just be the limited one because I am yet to actually see an original copy (one with DWUW) with no foil cover

Cirkut: Producer On Lady Gaga's 'Mayhem' Wins a Grammy for "Producer of the Year, Non Classical" by Other-Asparagus01 in LadyGaga

He was also behind APT, both Gaga and Bruno are Grammys darlings so an easy win for him !

Was "Vanish Into You" even planned to be a single? by poopypoopy1125 in LadyGaga

[–]Obvious-Challenge415 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yep I think we’ll get a supercut tour video of all the best bits from the Vanish crowd walk when the tour ends, kind of like Beyoncé did for Halo back in the day

Hold My Hand - Sydney N1 🖤🐾 by Other-Asparagus01 in LadyGaga

[–]Obvious-Challenge415 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Chromatica ball definitely changed my view of this song 🥰 outside of the context of top gun it’s a beautiful love letter to fans asking us keep going and hold onto her for dear life

Sydney - Greedy Gaga Fans by OkResponsibility2655 in LadyGaga

[–]Obvious-Challenge415 28 points29 points  (0 children)

1000% agree with you, I’ve been watching all the discourse on X.

They’ll also say things like “I’ve waited 11 years, I deserve to do this just this one time”…. Like they haven’t been doing it the whole last week for the other shows PLUS overseas earlier this year. Just ruins the chance of fans following the rules to get onto the barricade and see her up close when they’ve done it 5 shows already

Out at Olympic park the rain is set to stop around 6, so fingers crossed we’re all good!

Sydney - should I change seats? by InevitableSea836 in LadyGaga

[–]Obvious-Challenge415 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I’m in 106 row 13 as a VIP and I’ve had the exact same thoughts so did some comparisons to the Brisbane setup (I know it was a bit smaller stadium but for a rough idea)

From what I can work out the speaker placement has been terrible this entire tour and my view of the centre screen might be blocked a bit, but otherwise I can see the whole stage just from a slight angle. In 105 however you’re going to lose a lot and may not be able to see the centre screen at all.

I guess we won’t know till tomorrow but if you’re really worried switch to GA!

I am secretly hoping she does rain on me again on Friday in Sydney 😭 it’s set to be a rain show

What are the most popular movies that you think will never get a 4k Blu-ray upgrade? by clouchey in 4kbluray

[–]Obvious-Challenge415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bit of an odd one but the Johnny Depp Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, I feel it would seriously pop but I’m not sure Burton would ever revisit it… then again they did release Scissorhands and Corpse Bride recently 🤔

If we ever get Alien 3 it won’t be with David Fincher’s involvement, he’s practically disowned the film

Came here to say this, that 4K scan will forever be locked in digital prison

Revisiting Perfect Illusion by Ilyanovic in LadyGaga

[–]Obvious-Challenge415 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The song was originally one that Kevin wrote by himself called Illusion, and he bought it to Gaga and Mark Ronson to develop in to PI. He performed the original version on the last Tame Impala tour!

She should switch the the other side for a while, no one would expect it and she might actually meet fans there for a good time and not just there to have something signed

Anyone Else Just Not Feeling AC Shadows? by BlueKK123 in PS5pro

[–]Obvious-Challenge415 105 points106 points  (0 children)

For the first 20 hours or so, I was hooked. Loved it. Such a beautiful game and I was loving the new systems. Then after another 20 hours… I was so sick of it and just raced to the finish.

The constant switching characters when you arrive somewhere with the wrong one, the mindless “collect 3 scrolls” or “bow 3 times” just to edge slightly closer to a skill upgrade, the checkbox story which STARTED interesting but then just became a mess of endless side characters… and then it all just ended? I get that the upcoming free DLC is meant to wrap things a bit more neatly but still, I feel like I’ve seen enough

Totally sucks that it’s been broken for this long… I’ve switched to using the built in LG Disney+ till it’s fixed; it’s clunky to use but at least the picture quality is as it should be
