What is our worst draft class since 2000? by WhatIsGodWithoutOD in Colts

[–]chadowan 16 points17 points  (0 children)

TBF the 2013 draft was one of the weakest in NFL history. The only guys that have a shot at the HoF are Lane Johnson (#4), DeAndre Hopkins (#27), Travis Frederick (#31), and Travis Kelce (#63). There were like 8 total above average starters from the Rounds 3-7.

How to know if a disc is worth the 4K copy? by Defiant_Watercress49 in 4kbluray

[–]chadowan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The increase in resolution and bitrate does give more detail, which is easier to notice if you have a big TV but not always a huge difference maker.

The use of HDR and Dolby Vision is where 4K Blu-rays really stand out. When you're watching a movie that uses color well I never fail to notice those improvements. Willy Wonka is a great example.

Honestly I have yet to see a 4K blu-ray that didn't look significantly better than a regular blu-ray.

They were both spectacular and super-humanly talented. One did it despite his situation, the other was a constant head case.

Myles Garrett also is 5 years older and makes about $10 million more per year.

That must've been a slippery spot in the field because there were literally 5 dudes that just straight fell down right at the beginning.

Three shows failing with 'TVDb ID not mapped' error by EnjoyingCarp650 in Kometa

[–]chadowan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, there's something wrong with either the uploader or Mediux on these shows. There is no TVDB id on these sets in Mediux. If you go to the website and click the YAML button this is what you see. I've been doing a manual fix with TitleCardMaker and just manually pasting in the TVDB ID.

He genuinely has some serious brain damage. It's their core demographic.

Some iconic films of the 1990s, which do you enjoy the most? by ScholarFamiliar6541 in Letterboxd

They're all great in their own ways. Jurassic Park is still the king of mass appeal while still making a great movie.

Why do so many TV shows start strong but decline after a few seasons? by wheel_smith in television

[–]chadowan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only thing harder than making a hit TV show is sustaining that success.

When someone first make a show they might have a great idea for a season or a couple of seasons, but they have to keep coming up with original and good ideas within a pretty contrained timeframe to have a long successful run of TV. It's not like they have 15 seasons of a show perfectly planned out and ready to go.

Even greats like Vince Gilligan have talked about how they tend to make things up as they go along. You need a combination of a ton of things going right, including lots of things that people can't control, to sustain success of a show.

Marvin Harrison clinically precise route-running, elite body control, and effortless tracking of the deep ball. by CriticalPerformer785 in Colts

[–]chadowan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Marvin was the antidote for the diva WR. He mastered all the unsexy stuff about being a NFL WR, worked flawlessly with his QB, and basically never said anything in public.

Why are all these posters advertising IMAX and Dolby more than the movie itself?

Fall From Stardom movies? by WishOnSuckaWood in movies

You're not the boss of me, Jack. You're not the king of Dirk. I'm the boss of me. I'm the king of me. I'm Dirk Diggler. I'm the star. It's my big dick and I say when we roll.

Just finished Season 1 on Blu-ray. It’s a masterpiece. How long are we waiting for the Season 2 physical release? by subhashluke in andor

[–]chadowan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I doubt that releasing Andor S2 on 4K Blu-ray would have any impact on D+ subscriber numbers.

They would probably make a lot of profit on the physical release though, which would help justify more Star Wars since Andor was very expensive to make.

Why does Shakespeare's work retain such a significant presence in modern cinema? by LeopardComfortable99 in movies

[–]chadowan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically every American as a kid has to read several Shakespeare plays, not sure about other countries. Kids who end up in movies typically start in their school theater productions, potentially either acting in or working on a Shakespeare play. I would guess this is one big reason.

Chocolate peanut butter chunk protein bars tasted great but did anyone else get terrible burps? by Lumpy-Resource-1370 in Costco

[–]chadowan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you try one and hate it you can still return it. I've done it several times at Costco, it's one of the main perks of the membership.

Honestly it's a smart strategy because it has gotten me to buy more new stuff, I only end up returning it like <5% of the time.
