I downloaded it last night and the spectral bands are already a game changer. A couple of years ago I was wondering if it was even possible to go upwards from 3 but they’ve absolutely knocked it out of the park.

v glad that Jesse Plemons is getting a nom for Kinds of Kindness though, I was worried that was one of the performances that might have gone under the radar for how good it was

Thrillville: Off The Rails got me hooked on Maureen as a kid so I'm controversially going with Disc 1 of Out-Of-State Plates

I now keep overflow Letterboxd lists where I put recommendations that already happen to be in my recommendations list and for recs from people who I really trust or prioritise, it actually works stunningly well

I had a tiny following from the photos I posted once in a while there, but even I noticed a complete drop-off in engagement since a few weeks ago. It was like overnight any semblance of real humans on the site just disappeared.

People frequently misunderstand inspiration and creativity as improving at creating things from scratch. I find the reality is you start building up a big library of your own okay-to-good work that you can edit/splice/remix/pull the essence of and streamline the creative process

It looks exactly like the album covers you'd see on 2011 fake Skrillex leak YouTube videos that were just some 13 year old's soundcloud demos chasing views for some Combat Arms clips on his channel

Modern audio mixing is absolutely fine in theatres though? The problem is when it's mixed for cinema and then quietly streamed over TV speakers in apartments with no sound treatment.

Is it convenience that causes it or committee? When everyone can see the image it's easy for a director/producer to say "lgtm let's shoot" whereas before digital previews the cinematographer and lighting directors would have more sway to make sure it's done to their (higher and considered) standards

My theory is that CRT texture acts kind of like film grain, it creates a natural point beyond which detail doesn’t need to be resolved. Take it away and you no longer have a naturally impressionist image, you have to resolve every detail to an extreme level to avoid it looking unnatural.

When he figured that out I felt like I was watching Vettel again, he’s got the exact same intelligence for exploiting the rulebook.

the soundtrack culture of early 2000s extreme sports games was so good. we've lost so much with the near total abandonment of arcade freestyle motocross/skating/snowboarding/racing genres
