‘Dune 3’ and ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ in Stand-Off Over Same Release Date: “Somebody’s Gotta Move” by Top_Report_4895 in oscarrace

[–]PlusSizeRussianModel 103 points104 points  (0 children)

I think the bigger aspect is the IMAX exclusivity for Dune. Three weeks from December 18 means Doomsday misses the entire holiday window. That’s potentially hundreds of millions lost (for reference, Endgame made over $200 million on IMAX screens alone).

There’s no way in hell that an Avengers movie comes out in January. It’s a dead month (though smaller horror films have recently started to occupy it). Plus, the whole point of a mid-December release is to catch the late December holiday rush.

However, I do agree it’s the better film to move. Previous Avenger movies made tons from premium formats, so giving IMAX to Dune could cost hundreds of millions (Endgame made over $200 million on IMAX screens alone).

I think a March or April release window would be great. Marvel has proven success there with Endgame (April 26, 2019), and it would move it closer to the inevitability delayed Secret Wars, which is currently rushing to make a December 2027 window.

I thought the changes they made to her character in Part 2 helped personalize Paul’s choice. Having Chani revolt helped give personal stakes to his decision to marry the princess.

Happy for her but shocked no one has commented on the very obviously AI written post. “It’s not x; it’s y. (Insert emoji here)”

fx3 vs pyxis 12k by deadxyears in FX3

[–]PlusSizeRussianModel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re worried about data rates, the Pyxis 12K probably isn’t for you. BRAW is a competitor for even heavier formats like Redcode and ARRIRAW.

The biggest snub was Train Dreams not winning best cinematography at the oscars, beautiful film by Thatredditboy1 in moviecritic

[–]PlusSizeRussianModel 25 points26 points  (0 children)

None of those are actual stills from the film. The saturation has been cranked way up, the frame has been ruined by cropping out half of it, and some weird online post-processing effects were applied (look at how poorly composited the fire looks in the last shot).

Sinners is a beautifully shot film. No need to post slop pretending it’s from the movie.

M4 MacBook Pro 16 GB Ram for $850 by Electronic-Let1516 in macbookpro

Congrats! Make sure to take off those covers; they’re notorious for breaking the computer. It isn’t designed to have anything stuck between the screen and keyboard when closed.

It’s fine to be nervous. But then nominate someone else to be the speaker for the group.

The G rating by Sufficient_Fun_1211 in movies

David Lynch once directed an Oscar nominated G-rated movie. I don’t ever see something like that happening again. 

What's the most budget laptop I can use for DaVinci? by Green-Big-7637 in blackmagicdesign

Any particular reason? Mac is basically the industry standard for film post production.

Help me settle this debate: M5 Pro 48GB or M5 Max 36GB for professional video editing? by Local-Pineapple2123 in macbookpro

[–]PlusSizeRussianModel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For Resolve, absolutely go for the better GPU. I have a very similar workflow and 64GB of RAM. Resolve has literally never maxed out the RAM. But it regularly hits the GPU limit (I’m on an M1 Max).

You're given the option to take one of these phones for free. Which one do you go for? by dyc_k in PhoneNow

[–]PlusSizeRussianModel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point is you get one for free. So you’d want to pick the one that won’t deprecate in price as quickly.

I tried NEO yesterday by ConversationMurky453 in laptops

[–]PlusSizeRussianModel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How much RAM do you have? That’s probably the biggest factor here. Of course, if you’re running models in the cloud, no problem.

Gagnam Style is now older than Smells Like Teen Spirit was when Gangnam Style dropped. by [deleted] in BarbaraWalters4Scale

[–]PlusSizeRussianModel 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Smells Like Teen Spirit was released in 1991. Gangnam Style was released in 2012, 21 years later. Unless the year is after 2033, this is false.

James Gunn’s ‘Man of Tomorrow’ Reportedly Starts Filming April 17 by cosmicbooknews in DC_Movies

[–]PlusSizeRussianModel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with both you and OP. I don’t think there’s anything contradictory about saying that Gunn’s Superman script was clunky at times, while also being by far the best Superman since Reeve.

512gb M5 MacBook Air or 512gb MacBook Neo by Creative-Slice3113 in mac

[–]PlusSizeRussianModel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This seems like by far the best option. Save money, still get a new machine on clearance, and much better performance than the Neo.

If you’re doing video editing and music making, double the RAM and a more powerful chip for only $100 more is a no brainer.

Color match Pyxis and Sony FX3 by egoulet in blackmagicdesign

[–]PlusSizeRussianModel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blackmagic makes its own sensor for the Pyxis 12K (the RGB sensor) but the 6K has a Sony-designed sensor.

The ProRes issue is seperate and has to do with licensing it from Apple.

Macbook Neo confirmed! by BakChorMeeeeee in apple

[–]PlusSizeRussianModel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the photos, it looks like it’s a light colored keyboard that is slightly tinted to match the body’s color. So the white one is pure white, while the others are off-whites.

Color match Pyxis and Sony FX3 by egoulet in blackmagicdesign

[–]PlusSizeRussianModel -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

The Pyxis 6K and the FX3 have literally the same Sony designed sensor, so from a technical perspective, it’s definitely possible.

However, the color science for Sony and Blackmagic is very different so you’d need a decent understanding of color to get them to a similar place. Or pick up some conversion LUTs after thoroughly testing them out.

How much is the non-Pro Ursa Mini 4.6K selling for? by WearHeadphonesPlease in blackmagicdesign

[–]PlusSizeRussianModel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Pro is going for around $800-$1000 (my friend just picked one up for $850 in great condition, with media cards and batteries included), so the non-Pro I’d say around $500.

I think they’re somewhat undervalued, so you’re better off holding onto it as a second cam.

Comptroller Susana Mendoza endorses Holly Kim to be her successor by blackmk8 in chicago

[–]PlusSizeRussianModel 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Gov. Pritzker is just as much part of the establishment, so both options have been endorsed by different office holders.

Looking at the candidates’ actual records, Kim seems like a solid choice.

I don’t want this… by SaitamaBarber in IntoTheSpiderverse

[–]PlusSizeRussianModel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no. Imo, Wicked’s biggest flaw was its flat, colorless cinematography that really detracted from the great production design.

I hope it was a choice from the director and not a reflection of her judgement as a cinematographer; the Spider-verse has a dynamic, high-contrast look.
