I mean at least you named a couple things you liked that he did, but that was surrounded by a bunch of shitting on fat people. Well done.

Also, everyone knows he’s saying big-league but it’s not our fault he can’t say it right.

“Surrounded?”

He acknowledged the existence of fat people when giving examples. How is that fat-shaming?

And the reddit link was mostly to see the reaction from members like you. Though I will admit without any shame that I found it humorous.

I honestly don’t get what’s up with this thread. When did Trump create a stereotype of 400 pound hackers?

Donald J. Trump said:

“I mean, it could be Russia, but it could also be China. It could also be lots of other people. It also could be somebody
sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds, OK? You don’t know who broke in to DNC.”

I don’t understand how that example is stereotyping or offensive in any way.

He’s also saying “big-league,” not “bigly.”

For his first week as president, I’m liking most everything I’m seeing. He’s pushing the pipeline forward, he has confirmed securing of the southern border, etc.

Also…

Trump signs new executive order for animal rights! PETA praises!

NeverarGreat, I have a question about your correction (if you don’t mind me asking).

DrDre

In this example, the contrast differs between your correction and Dre’s. What I’m most interested in, is how you got the highlights to be so soft in your correction, whereas they’re much harsher in Dre’s. It might have something to do with the fact that your correction looks brighter overall, but I’m really not sure what all adds into it.

The &quot;Name that Movie/TV Show I Can't Name&quot; Thread
Time

My family was just watching Around the World in 80 Days from 2004, and one of my brothers was confused when a line was never spoken, which the rest of us remember being from a different movie, which of course would explain its absence. But none of us can remember what movie that was.

The line consists of a joke, in which a character boasts about putting someone in a lunatic asylum because of their ludicrous idea for the “vaccine.”

It obviously took place in a past time (like the film that brought this to our minds).

Any help in remembering this would be cool.

Color grading update:

I’ve been using the Director’s Cut footage, but after trying out my techniques with the International Cut footage, it’s giving much better results, so I’m going to end up using that. And it all works out, because the first 45 minutes of the International Cut is identical to the Director’s Cut.

That’s your preference, then. I am trying to match the colors to an aproximation of the more brownish, monochrome look of the end of Evil Dead II, because I think that look really helped the scene feel other worldly, and Ash feels odd and out of place when he’s spit out in medieval England.

IMO the colors on all of the BD sources are at least slightly over-saturated, and that mixed with the generally clean look of the film, makes it feel more like a Hollywood lot, rather than feeling like medieval times. I just don’t think the original colors for the beginning sequence build atmosphere very well.

I may change it a little more towards red, but it’s supposed to look rather brownish all around. I was originally going to make the color correction much stronger with a much more monochrome feel, but there wasn’t a good way I could find to make everything more brown other than the strong reds. If the strong reds turn all brown with everything else, Henry’s cloths and the geyser of blood would also be a murky brown, and that wouldn’t work well, not to mention the fact that the strong reds weren’t affected that way in Evil Dead II, which is exactly what I’m trying to match here. It’s difficult to figure out.
