Honestly, this is legend behavior
Whatever. She was better in Legion anyway
Fantastic work all around on that show.
Really. Hats off to everyone.
Explain to me, in small words, why that show isnât as widely known/quoted/beloved as âRick and Morty?â
Probably because Legion is a show thatâs harder to get into, and people might not find it as interesting as some other shows. But truly, I donât really know.
Edit: Or if you want it in a simple way. Weird show.
I just found a really obscure show on Paramount. âLionessâ with Zoe Saldana and Nicole Kidman.
Kidnappings, torture, assassinations combined with family drama and high stakes politics.
I can see why itâs not popular. Too much violence for a soap opera, and too much soap opera for the violence lovers.
Sounds like something Iâd maybe skip through half the episode, unless the drama part is actually well done.
Exactly my point. I was just looking for a shoot-'em-up. Found myself caught up in the plot.
Apparently it is getting another season, so it did find an audience.
Also, wandering further afield, Iâve noticed that thereâs now a genre of action/politics shows. âThe Recruitâ âThe Diplomatâ âMadam Secretaryâ âThe Night Agent.â
gifted and legion were both amazing shows that could have been great had fox bothered to actually promote them.
Sounds like somebody needs to hear of our lord and saviour, Jellyfin.
Do you know of a good guide? I want to get into high-sea streaming but Iâve been out of the privateer game for years and between all the different aspects of it like Stremio, Debrid, Radarr, (I donât even know what any of those even are) I really donât know where to start. I hear thereâs a way you can use it to browse shows like would a streaming service and just stream them to your device without torrenting them beforehand? I just feel lost every time I try to find out more information
Check here https://trash-guides.info and here https://wiki.servarr.com/
Probably canât talk about that stuff if youâre in the industry like her right?
Praise be
Jellyfin is so great. I switched over from Kodi & emby about a year ago now due to a combination of kodiâs mobile apps being way too resource intensive and emby locking to much behind paywalls.
Well⊠That sucks, weâve all been there
auat some pointMy thing is though that the DVDs actually are out there and she can buy them whenever she wants lol

Not having read the article, assuming this is just watching the ordinary program on the same streaming service the general public has access to, this feels more like she doesnât want to for whatever reason. She certainly seems like sheâs smart enough to figure out how to reset her password if she wanted to. Maybe there was some odd code she needed to use to get free access or something, but again that seems like something she could get resolved if she wanted to.
Similarly, she can surely afford to buy the show on disc. Iâm guessing she wants free discs but hasnât received them from the production. I feel like that would be a fair request for a production she worked on. If I was heavily involved in a show or movie I would like a copy on physical media that I could keep in my collection for the rest of my life, not some discount code for a streaming service that will inevitably disappear someday.

What does Australia have to do with this ?
Everything mwhahahah (honestly autocorrect decided to be evil today)
No, I know how to do account recoveries.
I feel this. I used to make software features for mortgage appraisers and I never even once got to use it to appraise a home!
Personally Iâm hoping Microsoftâs project silica takes off and replaces blurays. Having worked in a movie theater, I can tell you the files on blurays arenât the same ones that get played at a theater. Same resolution and framerate (probably), but dramatically higher bit depth (though I dunno if you could tell the difference normally). This could be a way of releasing master quality recordings for home use.
IDK what Project Silica is, but I donât want Microsoft in charge of the future of physical media. That experimental multi terabyte disc standard should be where physical media goes next.
I mean, iirc, Blu-ray was originally Sonyâs thing; VHS was JVC. Most formats were something a company came up with and then became so widely used that people thought they just sprung out of the ether.
The multi-terabyte disc thing sounds neat. Project Silica is the sci-fi crystal data cube thing, where they vaporize tiny bits of crystal with a laser to write data, and then read it back with a laser as well. I like the idea of project silica more just because âmuh sci-fi data cubesâ, but discs capable of holding terabytes of storage would be sweet.
I mean a 4k blurays can already hold like 100GB of data. How much more can you push through home connections like HDMI?
A lot more. A 4k disc has a bitrate of 128Mbps. Right now there are HDMI cables that can push 8Gbps and can be bought at Walmart.
The returns definitely are diminishing though. I am really struggling to see differences between 4k and 8k on an 80" screen at 6ft away â granted, I was looking at a floor model.
I think the real value is in archival though. If you have the true copy then youâll know youâre not suffering any generational loss whenever you transcode the file. Itâd also be nice to get the IMAX versions of movies with no loss of detail.
Iâm not sure physical home media has enough life left in it to attempt to change players/formats again, not for that small of a (noticable by end user) change. Thatâs the sad truth.
I suppose, but I was just answering your question.
Whatâs wrong with a harddrive?
Nothing really. But I doubt theyâd ship a whole hard drive for one movie.
Your hardware needs to support this though and itâs typically higher end hardware that can do this reliably
Some 8k things are barely noticeable and some are MAGNIFICENT. The best ones Iâve seen are nature shit. THE FUR
True. Especially in theaters
The most recent HDMI versions are limited to 48Gbit/s, so you could fit almost 17s of a movie on a 100GB disk!
Sorry I mean to say how much more meaningful data? Like with modern and upcoming common TV tech would there be much noticable difference?
Unfortunately physical home media is dying. I hate it but itâs true. I donât think it has enough life left in it to have another format/player change and it certainly wouldnât be worth trying for the limited return.
Afaik HDMI hasnât been a bottleneck for movies in a long time. The 4k masters I had when I was working at a theater averaged around 100-200 megabits per second, which translated into movies that averaged around 200-300gb. Larger WORM (write-once, read-many) storage would potentially allow for master quality recordings to be produced for cinemaphiles.
While you might think there isnât enough demand for it, you might also not be aware that movies from back-catalogs come on hard drives. When your company has an outing to a movie theater where you all watch Elf together, that movie was likely originally on a hard drive (afaik only new releases get the luxury of being transferred via satellite). Instead of shipping spinning drives, they could ship data crystals (project silica) instead. This would have the side effect of potentially making the crystals reasonably priced for collectors and enthusiasts, allowing them to get the master quality version of their favorite movie(s).
For archival purposes, you want a lossless master so that new copies can be made from the original using any new codec that is later developed, whether that codec prioritizes quality, file size/bitrate, encoding/decoding cost, certain hardware optimizations, etc.
That way a 1995 film can be shown using a 2035 codec when the time is right, rather than relying on a 2035 encoding of a 2020 encoding of a 2000 digitization of a 1995 analog master.
though I dunno if you could tell the difference normally
yeah, that. given the infinitesimal amount of people with the equipment and eyes to discern that difference, i doubt that will be a financially viable business. already most people are fine with streaming which is worse quality than 4k discs.
On a Blu-ray 1:1 remux, I definitely notice choppy gradients on my Sony bravia, and Iâm not much of a snob for video as long as itâs HD.
Okay boomer
So edgy
