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

when hearing a well-recorded voice reproduced in a theatre, it should sound S-C-A-R-Y how real they sound. like there's a person standing right in front of you.

soundtrack music should sound like real music, an orchestra or band live in the room with you. give me artifice or give me death.

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…

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

But but but my OLED 55” with my Bose ultra soundbar and 5.1 setup is so good 😭
