This afternoon I watched the #documentary Hot Type: 150 Years of The Nation (2015), directed by Barbara Kopple, which oddly doesn't have a Wikipedia entry. But you can read about it. It was mostly filmed during the 2012-13 election season so it feels like a historical oddity now. Like, Romney specifically doesn't seem like "the worst" of America, nor does Obama seem like "the best." Our value system has been reoriented. Will The Nation be able to keep pace with that?
Now #watching Suburban Wildlife (2019) directed by Imogen McCluskey. It's an Australian #film about four friends coming of age after college. Specifically about their coming to grips with one of their members moving away.
I have a couple more teed up but I won't tell you what they are until I'm further along. I might end up skipping the last one.
(To make, just add a #Horse's severed head, a pole and some #Runes. Not to be confused with the #Vindgapi, which uses a #Ling#Fish head instead, and which is used to summon storms.)
And to sign off for #Halloween2023, what better way to celebrate, than with #Ashens reviewing a fitting 13 job lot of crappy horror films on DVD. Features some truly hilarious handwriting, horror legends slumming it, and teal. LOTS OF TEAL.
aggiungete una piccola descrizione dell'oggetto (ad esempio #PC, #CD, #DVD, #Libri), citate la città dove siete (@milano, @roma, @torino, @bologna, @napoli, @palermo ) e chi é interessato se lo verrà a prendere e saremo tutti contenti: non gettiamo nulla e attiviamo una economia circolare del riutilizzo.
Best Buy is recalling 930,000 pressure cookers sold nationwide due to a defect that can cause hot food and liquid to spew from the devices, potentially burning those nearby, the retailer said
Commands to set up your Debian machine to play DVDs. Should be auto-installed, I think, as this is too complex for the average consumer. Then again, what average consumer has a DVD/CD reader in their machine anymore? #debian#dvd#Linux
Whoever designed these dvd/blu ray cases really need to take a course in usability.
If I need to use a pair of needle pliers to safely take a disk out without breaking it, how the hell will someone who has a disability of some kind manage?
I wonder how many disks have been destroyed just by they cases?
Ich möchte #DVDs für die Kinder auf #Jellyfin ziehen. Manche DVDs öffnet VLC unter Linux, andere (aus der gleichen Box) nicht. Die von VLC abgespielten kann ich dann auch rippen.
Bleiben die, die VLC unter Linux nicht öffnet. Gerade unter Windows probiert, da spielen die ab. Handbrake bleibt da aber auch irgendwann beim Überprüfen hängen.
Habt ihr Ideen oder Tipps, was ich noch versuchen kann?
Pouring one out for Netflix DVDs. Netflix does not get a lot of credit for it, but: they were instrumental in helping the USPS figure out how to get a DVD through a sorting machine without breaking it. Everybody's mail arrives faster because of Netflix.
I've been trying to figure out the best way to upscale interlaced DVD content. In particular with my DVDs of Babylon5 Crusade. I finally cracked it, and I think I will make an update post to my Star Trek DS9 upscale one on how to solve this.
The approach only works when running it through the FFMpeg command, but running the Dione engine in Topaz Video AI before crop and Iris upscale seems to produce a very good result.
I’m realizing that for shows and movies I like to watch again and again, it may be time to get them on DVD once more or for the first time as the streamers/studios/networks may destroy them at any time for a tax write off.
To pull a Zaslav: to show up day after day and keep making things worse.
I got one of the DVD that plays mostly music, what ways you do to rip it as an audio file? Was thinking of doing VLC but I know afterwards, I would need to use Audacity and add marker to every start of the song
Pré-commandes du merveilleux Shin #Godzilla chez Spectrum Films ce samedi matin ! Le visuel n'est pas définitif, l'édition serait blindée de bonus, et on aura droit à de la 4K HDR. Ça promet ! ❤️ #cinema#bluray#UHD#4K#DVD
Now do I get Handbrake and Plex to copy all of the content to an external drive to back a Plex server so I can easily watch any of this content without pulling out the physical media? #Plex#DVD
I rewatched The Untouchables bc II picked up a brand new, still sealed #DVD for $1.50 weeks back.
The movie is often too corny for its own good, Kevin Costner is just one of the most boring actors of all time, and its weirdly pro-Prohibition.
However, almost every single shot is a visual treat, it is just gorgeously designed and photographed. Connery is a delight, De Niro too tho underused. They don't hold back their squibs. Solid way to pregame football.
It's hump-day & back-to-school season. Don't forget your dictionary! This one's for adult education –one of many such titles in stock– from introductory to advanced topics & techniques, as well as biographies, DVDs, classic erotica, vintage magazines, pulp-fiction, & bedside readers for your nightstand.
Wednesday 8/30/23, Open 6-9p. No open containers, plz.
I learned so much about the art of visual storytelling from watching things like this and listening to commentary tracks, I really miss things like this
(Let me know if you find a particularly great one on there!)
