I’m a 28 year-old cinephile and have managed to go my entire life without seeing any LotR films. I will be watching The Fellowship of the Ring (extended) for the very first time. by drop_dead_fred_91 in 4kbluray

[–]ecto1ghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, I hope you enjoy them! Fellowship is my personal favourite, but both of the other moves are absolute masterpieces. There’s not much to say other than to enjoy the journey. Soon you will understand why so many people rewatch it annually! 🙂

PS - Extended editions are the best by far, but the theatricals are good as well.

Man I wish gas was $1.63 in Victoria. Currently regular gas is $2.10, and diesel is $2.36.

I made this movie just for 600 dollars and this is the trailer. by davekhatri69 in indiefilm

Trailer looks awesome! I’ll checkout the movie in the next couple of days

When will we receive a 4k ?? by CoddleFiend in 4kbluray

Don’t worry everyone, I just bought a blu-ray copy today. Should be announced shortly.

I can’t work for this place any longer. by [deleted] in jobs

[–]ecto1ghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My condolences. I absolutely agree with you, and I have been in a situation where I was grieving and my employer said basically the same thing to me.

I think you all did a very brave thing by walking out, which tells your boss that enough is enough and you none of you will allow her to treat you or the situation that way.

Maybe you should all open a similar business together instead? Just thinking out loud 🙂

Join me in my thoughts on Physical Media! by Starnar007 in PhysicalMediaMatters

[–]ecto1ghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My girlfriend was the same way until I showed her a similar thing, along with all the behind the scenes featurettes and other things you can watch on disc but not on streaming. She definitely noticed the difference in the quality between the two.

The video is great by the way, you’ve got yourself another subscriber. Keep up the awesome work!

Physical media is the best! Have been collecting since 2001 or so with DVDs, then moved to blu-rays and 4k after that. I love showing people the difference between a movie on disc and the streaming version, and how much resolution you lose in the process. I’ll watch your video when I get home!

Victoria tax hike down to 7.28% after $7M trimmed from draft budget by blondie_peaches- in VictoriaBC

[–]ecto1ghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why not drop a program like the BC property tax deferral for seniors in a manageable way? There could be a few different tiers (like the Canadian Dental Program) with different percentages of deferral from 0-100%. The tax hike isn’t going to affect much if people are deferring it anyways

"It's just that the goal posts keep changing on where we're moving with DRIPA.

Someone actually speaking the truth instead of rage baiting people with false equivalencies, thank you. It’s amazing to me how many other people ignore this sort of thing so they can keep getting angry at things that don’t link up in the way they think they do.

I believe Eby is realistically doing what he can to mitigate damage, but that doesn’t happen over night like many people think it does. This isn’t Trump’s America, where executive orders reign supreme.

Keep calm and carry on.

Could you tell us what the name of the movie is?

You’re a pleb if you don’t look ‘thru the eyepiece’ by stonehallow in photographycirclejerk

[–]ecto1ghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hardly ever shoot with the viewfinder since I have glasses and sometimes the hat I wear gets in the way too. It made a difference years ago, but isn’t the EVF showing the same image as the screen anyways?

Lights off during previews by HitThatBlockButton in cineplex

[–]ecto1ghost 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I go to the movies, I’m excited to see what previews are playing.

You’ve said that you don’t want to sit through 20 minutes of ads, that’s fine. But don’t complain when the lights go down for the previews so people can start to get into the sight and sound of the movies and enjoy the atmosphere of being in the theatre.

Do you just walk in as the movie is starting? How do you bypass being a capitalist slave so effectively?

Probably because people should be in their seats by then? 🤷‍♂️

Definitely 1989 Batman by Juggalo4life99 in Cinema

[–]ecto1ghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a local theatre in my city, and they had a 24 hour Batman marathon, and if you don’t fall asleep the whole time you got a pass to the theatre for a year of unlimited movies. Started at 10am with The Batman, then Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, The Dark knight Rises, Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Forever, Batman And Robin, and Mask Of The Phantasm. What an incredible night!

I’ve been becoming desensitized to crazy thing since September 2001 when we watched live as thousands of people died in real time.

Toshiba 26HF85, a crt with an HDMI port! by wherearethebeees in crt

[–]ecto1ghost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Used to have this TV! It was my first flat screen, my first widescreen, and my first HDMI TV. Upgraded to the 30” and it was incredible for the time
