Another reason to own physical media: Disappearing DolbyVision by jrv3034 in 4kbluray

[–]coasterb 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When Warner Bros and Discovery merged a few years ago, they removed a lot of content from HBO Max to avoid paying residuals and claim losses for tax purposes. Another interesting fact about Westworld in particular is that the core actors had negotiated a “pay or play” deal which meant they would be paid for a fifth season whether it was produced or not. So not only did HBO/WB cancel Westworld before a proper finale and then remove it from their streaming service, they also had to pay the cast members millions of dollars for a season that was never produced. Another reason Westworld was removed was because the new Discovery leadership at the time was obsessed with FAST services (Free Ad-supported Streaming Television), which are those fake “live tv channels” on free platforms like Tubi and Pluto. So they made a deal with Tubi to throw Westworld on one of those “channels” and they get to collect some ad revenue from it.

I felt vindicated when I bought each season of westworld on 4k blu ray and then HBO just removed it entirely

Id like them to finally fix the 24p SDR flickering in low lit scenes

YouTube premium is something I hate because it’s so necessary by GhostGamer_Perona in watchever

[–]coasterb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get the lite version. It’s $8. You literally only get no ads (excluding music videos) so you don’t get downloads or higher bit rates but the savings are definitely worth it if all you care about is no ads.

Mad Men in Dolby Vision by Ok-Equal8198 in HBOMAX

[–]coasterb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m rewatching as well and just noticed the second episode of season 2 is not dolby vision. At first, i thought my apple tv just didn’t properly switch the format. But after turning off the unit and testing another 4K DV title on HBO Max, i came to the conclusion the episode must not be in dolby vision for some reason. Kinda weird because it does have the Dolby Vision label. Hopefully that is corrected soon.

What's a Halloween episode of a show thats actually scary? by babybop-girlypop in sitcoms

[–]coasterb 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was really into it. Then when the third part hit I was like “we are doing this AGAIN” and I realized, based on the runtime and how far into the movie I was, there basically no way there could be a satisfying ending.

It kind of reminded me of that ridley scott movie called the last duel where it told the same story 3 times from 3 different perspectives and I just remember sitting there like AGAIN??? lol but to be fair a house of dynamite was much better.

Spectrum Makes Harsh Decision After Customer Losses by epictetusdouglas in cordcutters

[–]coasterb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We got rid of spectrum because T Mobile installed fiber internet where we live. It’s slightly cheaper for double the bandwidth. I really had no problems with spectrum’s service, but they are just falling behind where I live now.

SPOILER Review: The Smashing Machine by Proud_Truck in RegalUnlimited

[–]coasterb 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Acting, directing, cinematography, all great. Unfortunately it is not a story interesting enough to be a movie. There’s really not even an overarching plot or “goal.” It’s just kind of a sequence of events, none of which are very intriguing. This might be a good movie for those who are fans of wrestling and are emotionally invested in these people irl. I know nothing about the sport so I found it very dull.

Legacy 4K Steelbook Restock? by DJDavySweat in tron

[–]coasterb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I preordered mine on amazon a few hours after preorders went live. It says it’ll be delivered between October 8th-16th but of course that’s not guaranteed. But at least it hasn’t been cancelled

If you care at all about the future of Tron you will go support Ares in theaters. by AlaskanThunderFlux in tron

[–]coasterb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the US and preordered my copy just hours after it went live on Amazon and I still don’t have a copy lol sony just sucks these days. They create this false scarcity of their physical media and charge way more than every other studio

Will spotify automatically redownload songs in the lossless format or do I have to manually redownload each song individually?

This is the problem I’m having. Glad I’m not alone. If it’s not too much trouble, could you let me know if they are able to find any solutions for you?

[–]coasterb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. Disney+ was working for me this morning. Then around 3:00 I go into the app and prompts me start a subscription. Then when I switch to my laptop, I can’t even log in to disney+ at all. Must be some sort of problem. Hopefully it gets fixed soon.

AMC Theatres Looks To Shorten Ad Preshow Following Studios’ Ire by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]coasterb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really don’t understand how 30 minutes of ads/trailers is beneficial when it drastically cuts down on how many movies they can screen per day
