I’ve tried to get the 4K version running on MPC-HC with madVR, but whatever I do, I get really choppy playback. Any pointers, or should I just download the 1080p version?

I’ve got a new 4K TV I’d love to play this on, and although it’s being said there is little difference between the two, I’d love to watch it in its native resolution.

What are your computer specs?

Windows 8.1
CPU: Intel 8-core i7-4710HQ @ 2.50 GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M
HDD: 1TB HGST HTS721010A9E630
RAM: 12 GB

It is a laptop, as well. Is it my GPU?

Very excited to finally watch this! Looks like the Despecialized Edition is a bit outmoded these days.

You ignored this:

and some poor innocent person loses their job.

But go ahead and make me sound unreasonable. I’m done talking to you.

Same. It seems to be “some actress seem to be cool with it (despite there being no way to know for sure) and therefore it’s cool.” Ok.

While yours seems to be “I don’t like nudity, and saw a movie with nudity in it.”

How about pigmangate?

Absolutely of the most urgency.

No, I’m just tired of the constant bitching over crap that has no impact on my life whatsoever. And that’s really what most of the internet has to offer. This “comicsgate” is most likely that.

Handman isn’t stopping anyone from caring about a thing he doesn’t want to investigate. And I don’t think it’s insensitive to not care about something that somebody else might care about.

It’s just funny (hypocritical?) that he himself is bitching about other people who are bitching.

The key difference being, he’s bitching about something inconsequential to him, that being other people bitching about something that is consequential to them.

I usually have to sit through hours of people explaining this crap to me at social gatherings, and it’s as relevant to them as it is to me. So I’m kind of tired of it.

I know what gamergate is, and it’s stupid. I assume this is similar. A bunch of idiots attacking a bunch of other idiots, and some poor innocent person loses their job.

Most things that put “gate” at the end of them are probably dumb.

Here’s another one along similar but more generalized lines.

And that’s probably enough. There’s plenty more of course.

Great argument. Spurt out a ton of links that agree with you. At least mine were the people who were actually involved in the production.

I don’t even know what your argument is.

As you are so fond of saying, no movie is necessary. The MPAA clearly labels when a film has nudity. If you see this label, don’t go see the movie.

And if you think I have to link to every interview an actress has done on the subject, you’re insane. Do your own research. The only ones I’ve found who don’t like having done their nude scenes are the ones who didn’t agree to it, and that’s completely valid.

Halle Berry, Jennifer Lawrence, Karen Gillan, so on and so forth.

Oh wow that’s every actress, and none of them would ever have any reason to stretch the truth or even lie about it.

If you think I’m going out of my way to link to every actress ever, you are insane.

Found this immediately when searching for “Blade Runner nudity.” I’m sure y’all will disagree with it though.

Oh wow what a legitimate news source.

Halle Berry, Jennifer Lawrence, Karen Gillan, so on and so forth. Halle Berry said she’d do her first nude scene entirely upon how much they’d pay her. The story usually goes, “I was nervous at first, but everyone was so nice I forgot I was naked!”

I have seen the movie, and I thought you were referring to the hologram. I’m not sure what you mean at the end. I haven’t seen it since it was in theaters last year.

Ok, what do you think I’m talking about?

Team Olie happened three years ago already. Jeez.

It was meant to be exploitative, and it’s commenting on how that society approaches sexuality. The film is rated R, so it’s not like kids are seeing it.

Everyone always seems to misunderstand me.

Is it that? You said you don’t care about things that don’t affect you. Or at least, that’s what I understood. Maybe you can explain how what you said doesn’t mean that.

Well, it seemed like a few users here were offended by that, and I don’t understand why. It’s not everything, it’s things I find stupid or of little consequence, like most arguments, or complaints on the internet.

They’ve been hemming and hawing on this without a straight answer for years. Why would they stop now? 😉

Exactly, rights were never an issue. They’re respecting Lucas’s wishes.

I like Spider-Man 3. It’s really not awful, just not as good as the previous two.

I am fine, thanks for asking. It is pretty late, though.

Fuck “comicsgate” and everyone who associates with it.

You make me glad I don’t pay attention to the internet anymore.
