Horizon - How To Film The Impossible - Remastered (Released)
Time

I’ve started it, and I think it’s great! I’ve never actually seen the old school process of compositing in action before, and to see the folks who did it the best, and during its peak, is really special indeed.

I’ve just noticed a few things that don’t make too much sense to me. Namely, the 4:3 behind the scenes footage brings back memories of non-anamorphic widescreen. I’m curious why that decision was made rather than maybe upscaling it and presenting it normally in the 16:9 ratio, with only two borders. Additionally, it looks like you’ve applied a filter of specks to the footage, specifically during the Temple of Doom stuff, which I would think would go against the goal of clean up and remaster. Just curious as to the thought process there.

What mistakes have you noticed?

Doctor Who

I’m very skeptical. I was pretty done with this show by the end of Matt Smith’s tenure, but Capaldi happened to be the closest I feel to a classic Doctor on the new show. Too bad the writing suffered greatly. The show keeps getting younger, and if it’s going to be focusing on a bunch of modern day millennials, I’m going to have a hell of a time trying to enjoy it. I suppose that’s not really a fault of the show so much as I’m no longer the target demographic.

Cars

How has this topic not been made?

I love cars. I don’t think I’m surprising anyone by saying I’m from the United States, and cars have always been a pretty big deal here.

When I think of generic cars, I think of any sedan from the 1990s:

Just the blandest thing to ever grace the earth, with nothing particularly distinctive to set it apart from any other car.

But when I think of cars, one of the first to come to mind is the 1960 Corvette:

How about you? What do you think of when you hear the word? What’s your favorite?

Harmy's STAR WARS Despecialized Edition HD - V2.7 - MKV (Released)

I am watching Star Wars Despecialized Edition V 2.7 now. Towards the end there seems to be problem with the picture. I cannot really explain it. But when Luke, Han and Chewie enter the hall you see Luke first, then Han and finally Chewie. Then cut to the bystanders right in the middle of the shot of the bystanders, a frame of Chewbacca shows up and quickly goes away. Does somebody else have the same problem?

Do you have a timecode for when this happens? This is for the ending celebration, right?

What’s with all these group chats? I don’t want my day interrupted by dumb shit on my phone. I don’t give out my mobile number to anybody anymore. I don’t understand what’s wrong with email. When I’m checking my email, I’ll actually have the time to respond to whatever it is you want. I’m too busy for my phone to be constantly going off with every random stranger I have to interact with.
