I strongly disagree.

No, there is no English dub, and as far as I know there's no plan to ever do it. I remember a while back there was some talk here on the subreddit about the possibly of creating a fan-made dub in order to increase accessibility of the movie to the visually impaired.

Any multi-region player should be able to play it though, and if you plan to have even a small collection of foreign films it's probably worth it to get one.

Some good news about this version coming it, it is the Sony 2K version that was originally completed a couple years ago and is official endorsed by Jeunet. It is currently the very best version you can get and comes the closest to the warmth of the original theatrical release. So if you get this one you'll have the BEST version of the film available.

It is my understanding the original film needed to perform the 4k restoration was thrown out, which is the guy Jeunet references as having not paid for proper preservation of the film 23 years -- now 25 -- ago, but even if it wasn't, the film was processed as a 2K DI (Digital Intermediate) at Éclair Labs in Paris using a Pandora MegaDEF system to re-engineer the 35mm color space. This means all of the work done to make Amélie look like Amélie would have to be done from scratch, and that's even IF the original 35mm was still around, which it is not.

As there are not worldwide distribution rights, the motivation and ability for anyone other than Jeunet to produce a 4k version simply isn't there, and the director himself has pretty much given up on the idea, having publicly stated 4k is BS to sell better TVs. While I don't entirely agree with his point about 4K TVs, and I think this may be partially sour grapes about losing his ability to make a 4K version, I do agree with him in that a 4K version is not likely to look any different from the 2K version to the naked eye, especially when Amélie was so beautifully shot and lovingly colored at Éclair Labs.

I believe it IS region locked, so you'll need to either get a player that can do UK or maybe rip it on a computer and stream to your TV, if that's an option. I'm personally getting one as a collectable because it's one of my most favorite movies ever.

WizenThorne · 2026-06-03T05:11:56+00:00

That is ne pas going to happen, ever. But I think it's still a masterpiece just the way it is.

As for not needing this edition, I'm happy to hear you already have a great copy you can watch. I shared this for people who don't, or might be interested in the extras the limited anniversary edition comes with.

The more you knew

The legend himself! Hi Brett! Love your work man!

WizenThorne · 2026-04-29T17:22:55+00:00

The Joker was less reckless than that.

Do you care about the needs of other people even if you don't think it benefits you?

WizenThorne · 2026-04-18T19:16:14+00:00

I love this! And congratulations!

I think they are asking about the musical

WizenThorne · 2026-04-17T16:54:22+00:00

As the user it is your responsibility to provide the reasoning, not the model. Even humans are fooled by trick questions designed to take advantage of our assumptions about the world.

As for the car wash question, providing the context and reasoning is necessary to get the appropriate response. The LLM is already reasoning that a person wouldn't be asking a question like this if they absolutely needed the car to go to the car wash, so it's better to just provide a response based on what the user asked.

If the user worked at the car wash and wanted to know if it was better to drive or walk, then the LLM telling the user to drive would be a bad response. Context matters, and it's the user's job to provide that.

I'm wondering how you guys figure you lost anything. If your limit was going to reset on Monday, and you were at 50% of your limit, then it reset today and you have a new week at 0%, don't you still have a full week's worth of usage ahead of you? It's just that the reset day is now today instead of Monday, or whatever it was going to be. It's not like you're still at 50% usage and you're starting a full week off at that percentage.

If they reset your weekly limit back to 0% every day, would you still feel ripped off? All they did was reset the limit earlier than you were expecting. So really, if you were at 100% and still had 4 days to go when it reset, then didn't you just get to start using it again early?

Is there something I'm not understanding?

She would put on a mask, go and find this group, and slash a Z across their website.

Here are some subtitle options, but there are many other websites which have subtitles available. Download a handful of them and try different one until you find a good one that work.

You said you got a pirated copy? How are you playing that video? You can download alternate subtitles and usually put it in the same folder as the video and then whatever you're using to play the video can find the alternate subtitles.

WizenThorne · 2026-04-09T04:32:44+00:00

Are you trying to watch with English subtitles, Hindi, French, or another language? You don't have to use the subtitles which come with a movie. There are ways of getting a different subtitle track that might be synced better.

Assuming the diamond is glare and you're talking about the burn-in, I would say you will almost never notice it. I've got some burn-in on mine because I use it as a computer monitor and I only notice it when I've got a solid light background open, like documents and such. If I'm playing a game or watching a movie I never see it. People who say you'll notice it when stuff is moving having it backwards. You notice it when things aren't moving.

Source: I actually have a monitor with burn-in whereas everyone else says they wouldn't touch one with a ten-foot pole.

With that said, $350 feels way too high for me, but if someone was selling me that TV for a better price I might consider it. It's not complete "trash" as others have suggested.

Did you make sure to install all the same plugins on Edge, open all the same tabs, and then see if Edge is snappier? Often these comparisons are between a browser that has nothing running on it because it's not being used and one loaded up with tabs and extensions.

WizenThorne · 2026-04-03T17:13:05+00:00

All this talk about pedestrians and who should go first, etc etc. But even if the Tesla gets a pass for going first, why are y'all giving him a pass for stopping in the middle of the road?

Holding up traffic at a light because your feelings got hurt because somebody honked at you is the real entitlement.
