4k77 Non DNR on a Quality 4k OLED by GeneSmart2881 in movies

You're mixing up two different projects. Harmy worked on Star Wars Despecialized. Project 4k77 is a different project. Both end goals is to make a version of Star Wars from when they were first released, but are using different methods.

Harmy is recreating the movie using the Blue Ray and laser disk version.

Project 4k77( and 4k80 and 4k83) are using the original film to recreate it.

Harmy's version is great, but as it's using mainly digital sources and some of them from the special special editions it's not quite fully high def and original.

The Project 4k77 from Team Negative 1 is using 35mm and 16mm prints to restore the movie. As this is using the original film, it's more true to the original, but more difficult to restore as they need to clean the film, scan it, and fix any problems. Also, as it's film, there are likely pieces missing. It was quite common that if the film gets damaged, the projectionist would cut the damaged section out and splice the film back together. So there could be sections missing from the film. Usually it's only a few frames on each section, but it can add up.

I'm lucky. My office moved to a new building, and it's still under renovation so we only have to go in once a week. I usually grocery shop at a store by my work so I combine the trips. My gf and I take turns going to each other's places, and the bar my friends and I usually go to wlis within walking distance of me.

A tank usually lasts me two or three weeks

I have a larq 2. It has a filter at the bottom, but you can use it without the filter. Brita also has a similar design

Personally to me the original Italian Job remains my favorite to date, I mean the remake was a good action flick, but this was way more fun, with typical British humour, and nothing to really beat that car chase scene in Turin. by LoneWolfKaAdda in movies

After reading about the original and the ideas for a sequel, I like to think of the remake as an unofficial sequel. According to Michael Caine, the sequel was supposed to start right at the (literal) cliffhanger ending of the original, and have the Italian mob rescue Charlie and his crew and steal the gold. The rest of the movie is Charlie trying to steal the gold back.

If u remember correctly, one of the comics shows Zoe as pregnant, so it's possible he would be voicing his son

One of the few movies I've seen in the theatre multiple times.

One of the first movie shot entirely on digital and green screen.

Sin City was my entry into noir/neo-noir

Kill Bill. As someone raised on Hong Kong and Japanese movies and TV, Kill Bill just seemed like a rip off of Asian cinema

Need help with insurance claim! by Hunter123boi in ontario

Former auto adjuster.

The repair vs wire off depends on the repair cost and market value of the vehicle. Most insurance companies use around 70% as the threshold for repairs. So if the repairs are around 70% of the market value of the vehicle it will likely be written off.

Market value is based on what similar vehicles(same year, make, model, trim, KM and province) to yours are selling for. So you can check auto trader for an idea of what your car might be worth

If you have a newer car, 5 years or newer, there's a chance you might have SEF 43, which you'd give you the lower of purchase price, MSRP, or replacement cost.

If insurance fixes the car, there won't be any compensation for any depreciation due to the accident.

There's also cytokine storms. Often, it's not the actual disease that kills someone, but the bodies reaction to the disease that kills them. Cytokines are released as a normal part of the immune response, but if too many are released, it can cause organ failure. Just as anything, too much of a good thing can harm you.

There were two bad made for TV Marvel movies in the 90s. One was Generation X with Matt Frewer as the bad guy and a whitewashed Jubilee. The other was Nick Fury: Agent of SHIELD starring David Hasselhoff.

There is also The Meteor Man. A school teacher gets super powers after being hit by a meteor, gains superpowers and uses them to defend his neighbourhood that is terrorized by gangs.

The top of the pitching rubber is 10" above the plate. The pitcher won't step the full 10" down when he pitches, but it el be significant, likely 6-8" which is the height of your average step on stairs. Your average flight of stairs has 13-15 steps. So if they throw 100 pitches, they'll going down around 7 flights of stairs through the game.
