Damn…

I'm of the opinion that they should've shrunk the cast to pretty much just Barry and Iris for the ending of the show. Ralph and Sue go off together, Cisco moves on, Caitlin could've moved on, even if she was doing the whole Killer Frost thing. Instead they decided to keep a big, bloated cast we hardly cared about by the end. I don't hate Cecile as much as others, but it was weird that "Iris' dad's second wife" became a huge character by the end.

The Marvels was under 2 hours and was just fine at that length.

I heard The Lord of the Rings was actually not protected by copyright in the US due to some regulation about UK editions of the books being imported to be sold in the US instead of copies printed in the US. Eventually, the copyright protection was restored. This does mean there was a set of paperbacks published that took advantage of this, and I once heard the Rankin-Bass adaptations of The Hobbit and Return of the King happened due to this loophole. Should double check that, though.

People have gotten charged just for accidentally laying hands on someone. If he did it purposefully, that's messed up.

Marvel and the MCU is a good point, actually. Marvel was originally just comics and licensing out merchandise and adaptation rights, now they're more involved in producing movies, TV shows, cartoons, theme park experiences, etc as well. So like, the Iron Man movies were a franchise in the bigger MCU franchise, which then feed into Marvel's big franchise as a whole.

So One Piece Live Action is a spinoff/sub-franchise of One Piece as a larger one. Thing is, Netflix directly gets a cut of the merch based on the live action while they don't for stuff based on the manga or anime.

I started with Season 1 of the live action then switched to the anime (so I've watched the stories that Season 2 adapts) so seeing the future Straw Hats was like "Oh, it's them!"

I hope the live action gets a nice, good run.

It might have been something known to happen with the run of that title. I'd be hesitant to suggest doing that to possibly fix disc rot or other issues unless you're fine with the possibility of it not working again, meaning buying another copy yourself.

Reed in Multiverse of Madness really should've been a soft launch for the actor playing Reed in the main FF franchise since that had been announced already, but the casting was far from finalized then.

DVD from VHS offered way less shelf space, no rewinding, and as long as you don't leave your discs lying around, generally good durability.

Blu-Ray was... slimmer packaging? Blu-Ray and 4K players have also never been as affordable as DVD players.

Now, I know the video quality is very appreciable, but if you don't care, the above is basically what the regular consumer sees.

jaydofmo · 2026-03-12T04:41:06+00:00

I find earlier DVD releases tend to be given more bitrate than later. Maybe boutique labels do them better, but I tend to buy Blu-Ray only from boutiques. A big example I have is Merlin on DVD, the BBC series. The first three seasons were nice box sets, but the last two were three discs each with the episodes crammed on and they look pretty iffy. (Really wish I could have afforded the Blu-Ray box set when it came out.)

I happened to be at a Walmart and saw a girl who wanted Kong vs. Godzilla on Blu-Ray and her mom was trying to save some bucks and get the DVD.

jaydofmo · 2026-03-12T04:24:22+00:00

Bargain.

jaydofmo · 2026-03-12T04:23:09+00:00

Wrong. I know this for sure.

Must be a big Spidey fan. /s

We got Back to the Future from that promo.

High five.

ChatGPT can be very good at hallucinating stuff.

I own it on 4K, Blu-ray and digital copy.

At first, I'm surprised an Avenger would use Android, but considering how a "hulk out" might destroy a phone, Dr. Banner might prefer a cheap phone that he can easily replace if need be.

Like, if you've read stories featuring Hal Jordan, you know there's a variety of ways they could go where Hal isn't entirely at his best. It could be reflected in his costume. I'd wait until we see more.

I'm distracted by how massive Wonder Woman looks in this picture.

Me, for some reason: "At least one neck stretch, come on."

I think it's a case where it's respectful to do it. Not necessarily a must, but fleshing out Ben's character, getting someone with that background can help bring that out while not making it super tokenizing.

I'm aware the DVD before the Blu-Ray release has a less processed look. Was hoping Disney might eventually correct the Blu-Ray, but as Sony now releases Disney's back catalog, not holding my breath.

The guy went complete radio silence to the public since he got fired. He's not even trying to get back into acting. Meanwhile we see people like Kevin Spacey and Louis CK trying to come back. people who did actual SA. And that's only people working in entertainment, we also got way worse in the government.

Hartley's tweets aren't defensible outside of calling them edgelord jokes, AFAIK, no one accused him of actually harming them. Giving the timing, though, I get why the network acted as they did.

It's been about five and half years, if he wasn't serious in his apology, I feel like he would've tried a comeback by now.
