Call me ignorant, but what does it actually mean to re-render CG? I assumed it was ‘drawn’ at whatever resolution and that was it.

The ‘skin’ you build over the ‘frame’ of the models using higher resolution graphics, I would imagine.

That would make sense. So the ‘frame’ is a vector of some sort and thus enlargeable.

Yes probably a similar concept behind texture packs for Nintendo 64 games and the emulators render the graphics in whatever resolution you want and its obviously not a simple upscale.

When I finish TOS I plan to dive right into the film series but I made sure to track down all six lds first. I had gotten the bds bundled with TOS and popped some in to see for myself…oh dear…

From my research notes it appears the initial DVDs were ports of the ld masters: some with 5.1 remixes of the 2.0 and the sequels were non anamorphic. The SE reissues cleaned all of these up and some may have 70mm derived 5.1 tracks but this is unconfirmed. Also the contrast may have been tweaked on some but without seeing for myself I can’t say for sure.
Anybody have both DVD runs?

I get that the blu rays aren’t great transfers, but saying the laserdisc versions are better is nuts, unless color is the only thing you look for.

Reggie is basically a step above dirt weed. “Regular” weed once upon a time. It’s not particularly good but it’s also not crap. Good joint/blunt weed. People say “dank” to refer to really good, like name brand weed. The kind that only takes one or two puffs to get you baked. That’s the only kind I’ll buy. Not because I’m a snob, but because of my past k2 addiction (Which I never really talked about on here but it lasted until 2013 and made any issues I now have with alcohol seem inconsequential) I’m left with a strange issue of the physical act of actually smoking giving me anxiety attacks. So naturally suffering that I only have to take a couple puffs on to get where I need is the most appealing to me.

Well both terms are unfortunate, but yeah basically just slang for the seeds that you find in shit weed. I don’t ever use the terms though, I just use “reggie” (meaning “regular weed”) for cheap weed and “seeds” for… seeds. Lol. As to why people started calling them beaners and "n****r weed is anybody’s guess. I’m sure the answer’s relatively easy to find but it doesn’t particularly interest me and I’ve actually only seen it online, nobody I’ve ever dealt with in person has said that to me.
