Screens

A place to talk about movies, TV and videos on Farcaster.

"People don't want to go to the movies anymore"

Correction: people don't want to go to the movies to see slop on multiplex screen. They can watch the slop on Netflix at home.

Build more 70mm IMAX theaters!

for the love of god, why do I feel like the lone japanese soldier after the war has ended advocating for high-quality audio and video standards? 

movies sound different when they're not played on shitty PA speakers
movies look different when projected from a print or 4k laser

people want this stuff, they do not want generic experiences

most good OLED screens are better than the average cinema projector fwiw, very few have current barco 4k laser models that can offer decent contrast ratios

Something something physical media, especially discs, where never made as a way to preserve the media on them, rather only a way to consume the media.

Outside of that, I am not sure, but he’s been enjoying doing it and has learned quite a lot about servers, LLMs, coding and about that side of his “industry” in movies, so whatever makes him happy I guess lol.

interesting, why ripping to play via server rather than playing via disc?

happy to hear it though, OLED is awesome. we have a 65” LG C9.

The BF has been buying and ripping Blu-ray Ultras to our lil home server and it’s been a treat to watch things recently.

Only gripe is Dune 1/2 not being the IMAX formats…
