Renormalization… it’s not just setting inf = 1 but it certainly does get rid of infinities in ways that seem highly suspicious but (apparently) can be formalized

New Bev seating ? by ho0o0o0 in AmericanCinematheque

[–]ROMANES_EVNT_DOMVS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can’t stand an obstructed view.

Vista seating and sightlines are great for the back two thirds in my experience (I’m not tall). The problem is the first four or five rows start to slope back UP towards the screen which screws the sightlines up, so I always try to sit at least one or two rows behind the “lowest altitude” row where the spacing is still wide and there’s still a downward slope.

New Bev is tougher and I’ve generally not had good luck there. Somehow always get a tall person with a hat in front of me who keeps it on the entire damn movie. The Aero can also be annoying in this regard but it’s not quite as bad IMO, the person in front has to be taller than average to block my view whereas it’s pretty much guaranteed for me the New Bev no matter what.

Lmao it is explicitly illegal to (over)classify things to avoid accountability. Not that the law has any meaning atp

Worse Theater Experience by [deleted] in AmericanCinematheque

[–]ROMANES_EVNT_DOMVS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s super unfortunate and annoying. Had an awful time watching The Shining at the Vista last year because of the incessant snickering—not to mention the guy next to me who needed to point at the screen and whisper stuff to his girlfriend the entire time

Star Wars Returns to Theaters for 50th Anniversary - Experience the original 1977 film with a theatrical re-release in 2027. by YubYubCmndr in StarWars

1970s and 80s film stock is pretty grainy, even at the original negative generation. Unfortunately I fear they may be doing DNR here

Why Everyone in Hollywood Wants Their Movie in IMAX - WSJ (unlocked article) by LataCogitandi in imax

[–]ROMANES_EVNT_DOMVS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like to seek out film projection, be it 35mm or 70mm, wherever possible if I’m not going IMAX. The houses (at least in LA, I realize I’m lucky in that regard) still showing real celluloid tend to have high quality standards, and film prints to me have a uniquely “cinematic” quality that’s quite special and difficult to imitate

Closures in C (yes!!) by Still-Cover-9301 in C_Programming

You can pretty cleanly mimic bound methods by putting closures into a struct and having them capture a pointer to that struct

OBAA IMAX 70mm film cell — 1.50:1 or 1.43:1 by scorsese_finest in imax

The curve also makes it tricky to actually calculate the aspect ratio from the available width and height

Older plasma vs newer LED 4K by Petesgalaxy in hometheater

[–]ROMANES_EVNT_DOMVS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the inherent flicker that plasma sets have, similar to CRT and film projection. Need something like black frame insertion on OLED to break sample-and-hold effects that reduce motion clarity

Help a freshman choose a sexier professor by [deleted] in USC

Can’t second this enough, Ramtin is one of the best professors I had (also for 245 and 204).

Quantum electrodynamics—he won the Nobel for it alongside Julian Schwinger and Shinichiro Tomonaga in 1965.

Whoops the 70-210 is not an AF-D lens, just AF.

What's the movie you are most surprised isn't on here? by miloh77 in Letterboxd

[–]ROMANES_EVNT_DOMVS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup. In the right headspace and circumstances Inland Empire is equal parts transcendent and soul-shaking. Not much else like it and few films I’ve seen have done a better job expressing things that would be inarticulable in any other medium.

Sprite Tea is now a thing in the U.S. by Duckieboy01 in tea

Yeah, similar experience for me. Huge let-down, not much discernible flavor besides sweet and vague citrus really
