  1. Say I was to get into this composer, what "greatest hits" album is recommended? Or what are the titles of some of Shostakovich's finest, most accessible works/cues? I always like anything that I hear from this man.
  2. Really? What's he been saying? Does he have a Facebook presence?
  3. I think you're just making shit about this up aren't you.
  4. The older blu-rays aren't necessary for comparison; the differences in the DNR can be seen in this five year old compressed YouTube clip of the same scene. And anyway, is Cheno seriously denying the loss of detail in the Eowyn banner blowing scene? Yikes! The analysis in the YouTube video is correct - that scene does now take on the appearance of video tape.
  5. Eh, I can literally see Theodon's stress lines disappearing and reappearing - on my tiny phone screen! Lmao come on
  6. It's good and bad but for me it's bad enough not to buy, and just a great pity. I honestly think PJ has lost the plot.
  7. Surprisingly, Cobra Kai has a similarity with Better Call Saul in that whenever the story switches over to anything related to Daniel San I go Zzzzzzzz just like I do whenever BCS shifts to Mike's thread.
  8. Aside from the dead, weirdly blurry eyes, the other main problem with Disney's effort, as is regularly the case with these things, is lighting, or rather the lack of it. There's a distinct lack of contact shadowing on Luke’s face and in the contours of his features, it looks too flat. Every other redo pays more attention to lighting, and it helps to sell the effect a lot.
  9. Anyone else find the original TV series unwatchable these days? Like Carry On movies.
  10. I can't really listen to it any more.
  11. That's pretty shitty actually.
  12. The initial reveal shots look terrible, but after the reaction cutaways it begins to appear quite effective.
  13. Watched the opening ten minutes of Uncut Gems and turned it off. I didn't fancy Adam Sandler's Al Pachino or gaudy vaporwave soundtracking for 2hrs.
  14. If it is a deepfake it's one of the worst ones I've seen, and it'd be pretty hilarious that a YouTube dude whipped up an alternative that blew it away.
  15. So how come then QC gave a pass to a shit looking Peter Cushing, Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker in various Star Wars media? While we're at it, where was this painstakingly meticulous ethic when the terrible dinosaur stampede got sent out in Jacko's King Kong? Come on man, stop chattin' shite here. It's unnecessary.
  16. Negan didn't look as cool as manlets think he is when he was in Grey's Anatomy. God that was bad. Plus this guy single handedly halved The Walking Dead's viewership and arguably triggered its eventual demise.
  17. Certainly for parts II and III yes, that sounds like the most likely approach.
  18. What if Clint Eastwood scored The Phantom Menace? The rest were done by Williams, but Eastwood scored just that one.
  19. That makes three of you at least, good luck!
  20. It is actually. But Bayesian clearly doesn't even want this dialogue to exist in the first place, as if to deny deepfake tech is a thing now might somehow make it go away.
  21. I mean, I've made no secret of my wish that Indy 5 just use Ford's younger self and deepfake that data onto his old (but still quite capable) geezer performance. But if they instead announced they intended to use ILM to digitally de-age him with traditional CG technics, I'd write that film off now. That's where my faith is with CG heads on real bodies.
