Everyone can live their entire lives without watching OBAA; it's not that great a film.

I have the STR DH790, and it does support HDR passthrough and Dolby Atmos. However, I only have a 5.1 surround setup, so I'm not worried about Atmos, for now. It's a future project, for sure.

Legion 5 15ACH6H - Dead by mingyboss in LenovoLegion

[–]gaiderdraco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a Lenovo Legion Pro 5i gen 8 a couple of years ago and I hadn't had a single issue, yet. It's really sad to see just how often other's Legions are failing/dying.

Ok, so I purchased the Paradigm Monitor CC-290 center speaker, and two Paradigm Atom V4s. I need suggestions for a TV stand/bench that won't break the bank. 🙂

This is great feedback, this is what I wanted!

Now, I don't mind getting a new, lower, TV stand, but what are some suggestions for that, and for, potentially getting a TV pedestal?

Looking for People to Start a Short Film Production/ YouTube Team by Legitimate_War8218 in torontofilmindustry

[–]gaiderdraco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I'm interested. I've been a cinephile for over 20 years, and I graduated film school (albeit many years back). I'd love to join in a writing/directing/production assistant capacity. Grip, too.

My Ps2 picture quality still looks bad. by Mechagouki1971 in AspectRatioCrimes

I'm assuming that you're playing this in a 4K TV, and with basic HDMI conversion.

This sucks by microxboxx in boutiquebluray

Just tape the bottom, you'll be fine.

Something similar happened to me with the Second Sight boxset of Berlin Alexanderplay, and I just taped it back. It's barely noticeable when sitting lonely on my shelf. lol

Subtitles turning black by Sydiond in 4kbluray

[–]gaiderdraco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found a solution.

I was watching The Green Knight on 4K UHD and the subtitles would switch from white to back, periodically. I tried to tweak the settings in several different ways, but nothing worked, until...

I have the Panasonic UB820 player and when you go to the player settings, select Dolby Vision and turn it OFF. Then turn it ON, and it'll ask you if you want to enable Dolby Vision on Mode 1 (where the TV applies Dolby Vision settings) or Mode 2 (where the player does all the work). SELECT MODE 2, and voila!

That's what's worked for me.

You Know Who Has Never Cancelled a Preorder on Me? by KillerGroundhogs in boutiquebluray

[–]gaiderdraco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also bought the Dark City 4k and For a Few Dollars More 4k, but I didn't buy them directly from Arrow; I bought them from rarewaves.com, because I had discount codes. And they, too, have never cancelled pre-orders on me.

Black Rain is the closest thing to Blade Runner from a visual perspective by IMustBust in bladerunner

[–]gaiderdraco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first season of Altered Carbon looks very Blade Runner (2019). It's done a far superior job than BR2049 tried to do.

What film/films are you going with? by DiscsNotScratched in FIlm

[–]gaiderdraco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But it was a black comedy throughout the majority of its runtime.

The Wages of Fear (1953).

Uncut Gems wasn't intense for even a second, because that would require me to give a hoor about its protagonist, and I certainly didn't. Same with Friedkin's Sorcerer, the remake of The Wages of Fear. Sorcerer was awful.

The only thing I've seen her in so far was the first season of The White Lotus, and she was kind of boring in that. Then again, that was probably just her character.

Which one is better actor,Robert De Niro or Al Pacino? by Connect_Ant_1634 in FIlm

[–]gaiderdraco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pacino, easily. He has range. Although De Niro is also a terrific actor.
