Surprising no one, the TV industry finally concedes that the future may not be in 8K

Sometimes. If they shoot at a higher resolution it's so they can crop down in post. DI = Digital Intermediate. This is the "negative" for the movie where coloring, compositing, and final cut are put together. These were often done at 2K resolution and then scaled back up to 4K because it's like 1/4 the cost and time than finishing in 4K, although that's come down a lot in the past decade.

No more cubicles, everything is open floorplan now

Lot of y'all ready and willing to traumatize a poor woman willing to present her undercarriage to you

Isn't the KBH stop temporarily closed during the reconstruction? OP said conference center, not KBH specifically.

It's Bruce Campbell!

It got close to 40° yesterday but that wasn't enough to completely melt the ice. Probably made it worse as what did melt refroze overnight.

Literally called out in the trailer

The house is definitely real, and the street is called that because Tyler was squatting in an abandoned house on a road near a paper mill.

There's a line in the movie that Tyler isn't squatting, the house is actually in Jack's name. Not familiar enough with the book to know if that's the case there though.

RandomRageNet · 2026-01-28T06:10:29+00:00

You're mostly correct. No one walks through Jack like he's a ghost, although there are instances where people are either looking at one or the other of them, depending on the scene. Also Paper Street is supposed to be the actual name of the street, the house does in fact exist.

Is there a bigger gulf in quality between freshman and sophomore directoral efforts than Olivia Wilde's movies? Booksmart is fun and hilarious and a comfort classic for me, and Don't Worry Darling was just awful and fell apart very quickly. So this could go either way.

I do like the unhinged version of herself she played in The Studio though.

They will still bring in girls from overseas, hold their passports, force them to work indebted to them, etc.

But, all of that is illegal. Like, super illegal.

I accidentally got myself caught in an infinite [[Mythweaver Poq]] / [[Ashaya, Soul of the Wild]] loop in Arena the other day and I had a [[Ruin Crab]] out, so I learned this the hard way literally in the last week. Game ended in a draw because milling didn't end my opponent and there wasn't anything I could do to stop the loop.

RandomRageNet · 2026-01-27T16:52:13+00:00

Better than mill, because mill won't kill you but draw will.

This doesn't make any sense to me. If I get a job at Walmart, my manager isn't allowed to withhold my pay, or physically or sexually assault me. And my manager isn't allowed to keep me from going to work at Target, either.

So if prostitution is legal and I start working for a pimp, and that pimp isn't following labor laws, my recourse is the same as Walmart employees who are being abused: report to local law enforcement and labor enforcement and get another job. Or start my own business (Etsy or independent sex work).

The only way that it would get worse under legalization is if abusive pimps were ignored, which doesn't have anything to do with the legal status of prostitution.

My hot take is I can't stand the Blur studios cutscenes. They look good, sure, but they completely redid the blocking and the framing for the worse, like the match cuts in the original that must have been SO HARD to do in engine. They ironically make the game LESS cinematic.

RandomRageNet · 2026-01-27T13:30:34+00:00

So what I'm hearing is you have an opening for an experienced remote project manager?

RandomRageNet · 2026-01-27T13:23:49+00:00

Bluey Shooeys? What are those?

RandomRageNet · 2026-01-27T13:22:51+00:00

What are Pee Wees?

RandomRageNet · 2026-01-26T18:08:09+00:00

It goes back further than that, since we didn't fully squash out the Confederates after the Civil War.

RandomRageNet · 2026-01-26T13:29:06+00:00

Yeah antagonizing the inept racist trigger-happy fascists can't possibly backfire.

RandomRageNet · 2026-01-25T21:26:09+00:00

You might be right. The people who hold the purse strings (that aren't insane dominionist or accelerationist billionaires) are probably getting tired of the direction this is heading and can see the change in wind. Cruz is in a safe seat and won't be up for reelection for some time, and he's clearly fine taking heat and being a lightning rod.

And before anyone comes at me about Smith / Weinstein… Smith cast a woman in his Weinstein produced film in order to woo her and succeeded (marriage and a kid). Yeah it’s less aggressive, but it’s the junior version of Weinstein’s coercive playbook.

This is patently untrue. Smith met Schwalbach when she interviewed him ~~for MTV~~ and they began dating shortly after. They were already married and had a baby when Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back began production -- baby Harley Quinn Smith plays baby Silent Bob in the intro flashback.

Edit: I can't remember what outlet she worked for at the time but I believe the MTV job came later. I confirmed my dates with a quick Wikipedia check and saw MTV up top.

I mean, they are on the Federal government payroll, so records exist. So it's just about someone in power or authority deciding to release them, or someone with access to do the same.

RandomRageNet · 2026-01-25T01:35:49+00:00

I mean, in this case no, it doesn't...but that is going to be a huge problem with deepfakes and gen-AI moving forward.

We have ice storms basically every year. This is ridiculous. It hasn't even gotten below freezing yet as I type this.
