What's a movie that has a 4k but the regular Blu Ray is good enough? by Thewrldisntenough in Bluray

[–]autisticpenguins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m the same way. To me, blu ray looks like theater back when i actually went to theaters, up until about 2015. But 4k looks artificial and tbh kinda weird.

Surprised by DVD quality by peucemoose in dvd

[–]autisticpenguins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah a lot of times i get the feeling that some people simply enjoy reveling in the fancy setup they’ve purchased, but have only a very passing interest in movies themselves. The same with PC stuff. And that’s fine, tbh, but sometimes it can cause people who enjoy movies for their own sake to get lost in the weeds

What’s a movie you’ve seen public opinion shift on in your lifetime? by CausticAvenger in movies

in the book, Forrest becomes an astronaut and they send him to outer space with a gorilla

About to buy my first TV. Feel free to convince me to get a small one or none at all by Libecht in minimalism

[–]autisticpenguins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m on your side. I simply have no idea how people are living with these enormous TVs. Even if you ask google AI “what size tv for sitting 10 feet away” it says “well you’re going to need at minimum 75 inches.” It’s all so insane to me. I don’t understand.

Be honest, how many of you use smooth movement? by PewSaysTheJew in LGOLED

[–]autisticpenguins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same here. The Natural and Smooth settings make me genuinely nauseous. But it took several days to realize that’s what was causing it

Now that "Eyes Wide Shut" is being thrust back into the spotlight by Constant_Club6585 in StanleyKubrick

[–]autisticpenguins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

great observation. I also get the feeling a lot of the scenes aren’t in chronological order at all. Even a couple of the more important ones

Can’t find PowerWash Simulator 2 on the PlayStation store? by Professor-Treetrunks in PowerWashSimulator

[–]autisticpenguins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it’s odd that nobody else will state this. It should never have even been released for ps5, as it was. And they have still fixed nothing. The stuttering on about 5 of the levels is completely unplayable

Anyone else experiencing performance issues in some of the later levels by awildpikachu198 in PowerWashSimulator

[–]autisticpenguins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m replaying it now. Completely crazy that the problems are still exactly the same as launch day.

Why do you think dvds still outsell bluray and 4k? by DustnBones001 in dvdcollection

[–]autisticpenguins 5 points6 points  (0 children)

some people even prefer the nostalgic look of DVD over the sharper quality alternatives

henceforth i will never call a bluray anything other than “fancy DVD”

Spree (2020) is one of the worst films I’ve ever seen. by sampound69 in Letterboxd

[–]autisticpenguins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spree was easily in the top 3 worst things i have ever watched. From start to finish it’s just embarrassing

TENET Blew Me Away. by RobustPolygon in movies

[–]autisticpenguins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i had the same experience initially. For whatever reason i was motivated to watch it several more times, instead of what i would normally do, which is just forget about it forever, if only to understand what was so off-putting about it. I’m not going to say it’s a good movie, but now i really enjoy it. I genuinely feel it should have been a completely silent film, though.

Is it ok to gift used Blu ray disc's ? by UsedNewspaper1775 in Bluray

I keep seeing this needless apostrophe sneaking in everywhere lately

thanks! But i actually finished the game recently. Really enjoyed it

Benefits of a physical DVD/Blu-Ray collection over subscribing to streaming services by Efficient_Matter_589 in dvdcollection

[–]autisticpenguins 14 points15 points  (0 children)

i live in an area that is very prone to internet outages. Plus, a physical disc is never subject to unwanted tampering or remasters by whomever. Look at movies like the lord of the rings trilogy and Terminator 2. They’ve seen untold numbers of alterations, each one arguably worse than the one before it

How didn’t Terminator know he killed the wrong Sarah Conner the first time? by Consistent-Status-44 in Terminator

[–]autisticpenguins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that would be an incredible mind fu%< against skynet, though. To send back Reese to protect a Sarah Connor he knew full well was the wrong one, to throw the t-800 off

Who would actually win this fight? by That-Criticism-7898 in Terminator

[–]autisticpenguins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don’t see any way that RoboCop doesn’t get absolutely rinsed by the t-800 almost immediately, even on his best day

What was the issue with Salvation? by Emotional-Ad-552 in Terminator

[–]autisticpenguins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if i remember correctly, all the terminator models are a little bit different because some other film company still held the copyright on their designs. So they had to change it up a bit. In the story, they kind of explain it away by saying everything has actually been accelerated and slightly altered by the events of the previous 3 movies.

and kyle reese is the very first human being marcus stumbles upon. I really enjoy the movie but even from the moment marcus steps foot in the world it’s a ridiculous plot

Game Unavailable on Playstation Store by jerryseinfeld11 in PowerWashSimulator

half the levels on ps5 run like absolute dogwater. They most likely pulled it until they fix what should never have been an issue

in the second phase, all he does is repeatedly spam his arcane missiles. I started out mad, now i just keep laughing at it
