The Beach Boys Love You.....
10.01.2026 00:36 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0My argument has never been that 60fps "looks too real", it actually makes a film look cheap. The connection people make is to cheap direct-to-video horror movies, soaps, and I guess p*rn. When Peter Jackson did those 120fps versions of the Hobbit movies, everybody said they looked like soaps.

22.09.2025 20:04 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I remember reading about Gunpei Yokoi being punished by Nintendo for the failure of Virtual Boy, that strange form of corporate "punishment" where you're mildly humiliated in front of colleagues by being prominently marginalized. The dude gave them the Game Boy, Metroid, etc.
12.09.2025 19:33 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Do you think DC, maybe 6-12 months down the road, will just unload the rest of the issues, or put new creatives on it? I know it's not an identical case, but didn't DC keep going and finish with that "Batman's Grave" by Warren Ellis after his last controversy? Maybe they were too far into that one.

I sure hope this is released on CD and not vinyl only.

The expectation from any side (corporate, talent, fans/customers) that movies should regularly hit a billion is ridiculous on its face given the *total* number of movies that have hit a billion compared to even just well known/well regarded movies (let alone *all* movies released).

I think a lot of retailers and distributors/manufacturers are trying to be transparent with customers. But a lot of distributors/manufacturers just use whatever reason (inflation in recent years, or tariffs now) to smokescreen price hikes that absolutely aren't unavoidable.
