I don't know, erri, I'm a noob, I hardly know how to solder. But really, since it's just made up crap anyway, does it matter if it makes sense ?

erri, I'd say "Activate quartz-enhanced frequency synthesizer", it sounds better to me.

nice idea and use of effects here

hey!  stop using my line!!!

Right, off you go.

WHAT ... do you see when you turn out the light?

WHAT .... is your quest?

WHAT ... is your name?

STOP!!

Who approacheth the bridge of death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see.

Hey, Shonzie, I ain't seen Inception, either!

 3...2...1...

ok, check out this little slideshow of some random frames from the same sequence

Slideshow

Roughly like that frame. The filters I've used take out the big ugly blocks but leave the detail alone, something a simple blurring won't do. Do you want me to post some screenshots? some before/after?

I've tried improving the video quality on VirtualDub, using the filters MSU Smart Deblocking and MSU Cartoon Restore (the old version, the beta will crash virtualdub)

I have used these settings:

VirtualDub.audio.SetSource(0);

VirtualDub.audio.SetMode(0);

VirtualDub.audio.SetInterleave(1,500,1,0,0);

VirtualDub.audio.SetClipMode(1,1);

VirtualDub.audio.SetConversion(0,0,0,0,0);

VirtualDub.audio.SetVolume();

VirtualDub.audio.SetCompression();

VirtualDub.audio.EnableFilterGraph(0);

VirtualDub.video.SetInputFormat(0);

VirtualDub.video.SetOutputFormat(7);

VirtualDub.video.SetMode(3);

VirtualDub.video.SetSmartRendering(0);

VirtualDub.video.SetPreserveEmptyFrames(0);

VirtualDub.video.SetFrameRate2(0,0,1);

VirtualDub.video.SetIVTC(0, 0, 0, 0);

VirtualDub.video.SetCompression();

VirtualDub.video.filters.Clear();

VirtualDub.video.filters.Add("MSU Smart Deblocking 0.8");

VirtualDub.video.filters.instance[0].Config(1,1,1,1);

VirtualDub.video.filters.Add("MSU Cartoon Restore 1.3");

VirtualDub.video.filters.instance[1].Config("bilateral", 1, 5, 0);

VirtualDub.audio.filters.Clear();

copy this into a txt file, then rename it as a vcf and load it into virtualdub

using my settings the above frame (30272) comes out like this:

what do you guys think?

Bed goes up, bed goes down, bed goes up, bed goes down...

Cloud goes up, cloud goes down, cloud goes up, cloud goes down...

Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset,

sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset, AAAAAHHH!!!!!

note to self.... stop doing anything.

Saw "Steambot Bill Jr." tonight with a live audience. I had seen the film already on youtube (in better quality, I might add, cause this version came from a dvd which in turn came from a vhs, and a carpy one at that), but it's one thing to see it online and another thing to see it and hear the laughter of people around you.

Apart from the video quality that was shit, the music: it was a live jazz trio, I'm not saying it was bad, they were terrific, but I expected something more... well, let's say traditional, instead of what they played, that sounded like it belonged in "Metropolis" and not in a Buster Keaton comedy.

I'm betting the original Wizard of Oz was a silent movie. 

Yes, and I read it was an odd version, as far as the adaptation went. It featured Larry Semon and Oliver Hardy:

You really should be more careful jumping up behind people saying BOO like that.

Bowfinger.

underrated!!

just saw Hereafter. It was ok. This movie gives me the feeling that Clint knows he's getting old, and he wants to feel better about it, and about what awaits him, and each and everyone of us.

looks like a cgi platipus.

I KNEW this gif was gonna come in handy!

Oh and adjusting the blue levels made me think about something for the first time: what the heck did they milk to GET blue milk?  I didn't see any livestock.

Banthas?

random thought of the morning:

raw ham and mozzarella sandwich, some canned meat with mozzarella and mayo, a "vanilla" orange.

Utterly wrecked my vocal cords (not to mention the songs) trying to keep up with the range shifts on Ultravox's Vienna

oooohh I never tried to sing Vienna while spiffed. must be real hard! I did once sing almost the entire volume 1 of Queen's greatest hits while under the influence of half a bottle of rum.

why don't we have a thread called "drunk experiences"? oh, well, I figure I'll just make one next time I'm intoxicated.

on the other hand, I don't enjoy playing video games while drunk, it takes away the fun. the first challenge becomes trying to get a hold of the controller!

wow, imagine playing kinect while drunk!!
