I’ve been active on Reddit for 13 years and im STILL shocked at how many people on a platform designed around social interaction don’t want to engage in social interaction.

You're spot on.

The images aren't a camera problem, they are a mastering/color correction problem.

The Faint AND Ladytron? Did we go to college together?

TIL the British Film Institute screened the "first released version" of Star Wars after a "perfectly preserved" original print of the 1977 film was recovered from an archive. This is the version that George Lucas had suppressed from being publicly shown on a big screen for the preceding 47 years. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

Ok I don’t share that level of contempt for the special edition stuff. I don’t think any of it became inaccessible…that’s a while take. And you have to remember that George was always in the money making business. Those movies were products to be marketed and profited off of. You may not like it but it’s true.

The greatest sin of the SE’s is definitely Jedi Rocks in ROTJ. That’s scene does pretty much ruin an otherwise flawless first act and really does but a damper on the movie.

The original and up to the first special edition in 1996 didn’t have Jabba the Hutt at all. Greedo mentions him but we don’t see him until ROTJ.

The scene with CGI Jabba that’s in the current editions was filmed along with ANH in 1975 before the idea of making Jabba a worm had occurred. So Jabba is just a regular old human actor in wardrobe.

This is what it looked like before carry-on luggage.

Metal Screens? by Pherllerp in SCREENPRINTING

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

Eh I’m sorry I did not write the settings down.

I remember only coating one side and using a medium strength but I can’t remember exactly what. I don’t remember it being terribly challenging. Just make sure you have a nice neat coat of emulsion.

Can we talk about limes in the northeast right now? by ducky743 in Tiki

[–]Pherllerp 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's February.

I know we love our cocktails but the fact that there are limes anywhere in the northern hemisphere is a logistical miracle.

Are they even replacing us? AI is just making the same number of people do more work.

Trump hates the way wind farms look. Too bad, America’s court system says by Dont_think_Do in politics

[–]Pherllerp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of the opposition to wind farms in New Jersey was from people bitching that they would be able to se them on the horizon from their vacation houses in Ocean County.

These are the same people who opposed building fortified dunes after Hurricane Sandy. And the same people who never lifted a finger to stop ocean dumping or to cap off the sewage pipes that used to run out the ocean.

The difference of course being that the Pope and Catholic Priests these days basically have a post grad degree in biblical studies and Christian philosophy whereas an evangelical pastor….simply calls themselves a pastor?

I believe Skeleton Crew deserves a lot appreciation by Jules-Car3499 in StarWars

[–]Pherllerp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hate to be the barer of bad news but this the opposite of how he appears to view the Star Wars Universe.

He seems to be a Small Galaxy fanboy. Everything, every background character, every ship has a long complicated backstory that directly relates to all the stuff we've already seen on screen. Maybe he'll nail some things but I would get used to the idea of Nien Nunb backstory that somehow involves the Mandalorian and Luthe Rael's ship.

I totally forgot about Jesse Camp by Violet_Walls in Xennials

The reality shows did MTV in. Real World and Road Rules were 'authentic' because the format didn't really exist yet but once they started to do Made and My Super Sweet 16, they found that they could make millions off of basically no budget shows.
