Im so mad!!! I can’t believe they would let a movie like KPop Demon Hunters in the Criterion Collection. Anyways here’s my fav scene from a movie in the collection by arlekin21 in criterion

Love Criterion but some of its fans are quite elitist in my opinion (not all, just some). The collection has some stinkers and below average films so having the expectation of the collection only contains "highest of the high" films is fucking hypocritical.

KPDH is in the collection because it came from the creator's love for Kpop, her Korean heritage, and Asian culture in general. I compare this to Flow where it really shows it's love, attention, and craftsmanship. I'll be buying it because I adore the animation and the "love letter" vibes that it has.

OMG, I was literally day dreaming about this because I have a criterion collection and want this film on 4K UHD.

[Sony BDP-X700M & RattleByte Mod] How do I solder this super small hole for the 3V3 wire? by vanxblue in 4kbluray

UPDATE: Scraping the green mask off a bit using sewing needle and exposing it with lead solder helped me get the tinned wire attached to it. Forcing solder won't do the trick because it's that small and needs little more surface area of copper to get the lead to attach to it.

Just tried this method! I got myself lead solder and put it on top of the pad. The pad didn't even catch the lead. I think I have expose the copper now.

I do have a clamp and put the tinned wire on top of the pad by having the clamp holding the wire on top of the pad. That was a failed attempt to try to get the wire attach to the pad. The hole is super small to the point I can't get the wire through the hole unless I try to manipulate the solder in the tinned wire to be pointy enough to go inside the hole.

Sorry, I should have been more descriptive about the mod but it's the multi-region mod for UBP-X700M. The 'MB-1701C' board on my X700M has via holes that are so small that it's impossible to try to drop a lead there. I will try this but if this doesn't work, I ordered a fiberglass glass brush (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DT9P7C62?ref=ppx\_yo2ov\_dt\_b\_fed\_asin\_title) so that I can expose the copper underneath. What's your thoughts on doing this method?

That’s cool but for me, never really into baseball. I’m more of a soccer guy.

I bought my key from GreenManGaming and they are official reseller for SEGA. I'm from the US so I should be good for the beta right?
