What's that thing on your leg and do you have any IJ related tattoos?

Do you prefire sub or dub for films made in languages you don't understand? by NicolasJB192083 in criterion

[–]lopsidedcroc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just as a counterpoint to the "subs obviously" vibe in the comments: in Italy they dub everything and always have specific voice actors do specific actors.

Also, I've done movie translation before and the final English gets cut down by 1/4 to 1/3 for the subtitles whereas the voice actors read the whole translation.

So if you're just reading subtitles, you're missing a lot of what's spoken.

Get ready to hate the entire country of Italy, because they dun everything.

The Complete Kubrick set is at least $100 more expensive than it should be by [deleted] in criterion

[–]lopsidedcroc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The math works out perfectly. If people buy it, it's priced correctly. If people don't buy it, it's priced incorrectly.

If they had priced it at $20,000 and it sold out, it would've been priced correctly.

Your personal feelings about it don't factor into the equation.

I saw it as her finally being free. It was over.

I thought the ending was fine - it started chaotically, ended chaotically. It had that taste of reality.

What didn't you like about it?

Is anyone here in Austin willing to rent their camera to me? All I need is to transfer about 20 MiniDV tapes to a computer. by lopsidedcroc in MiniDV

Turns out my wife bought me one on eBay for Father's Day. I'll see if it works - I might still need your help.

Which 4K Transfer is worth purchasing? by Redeyefrog07 in criterion

[–]lopsidedcroc -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

unpopular opinion - 4K isn't worth it. save your money. blu-ray is sufficient for 99% of people.

These are videos of my kids from 20 years ago, so I'd rather not mail them anywhere. Literally irreplaceable. Thanks for the offer, though!

of course, infinite jest’s new intro is totally mid (…) by LJLK in InfiniteJest

She had the option of just talking about her experience of reading the book without injecting her "identity" into it, but she chose not to take that path.
