I watched red one last night and it was a lot of fun.

Watched Annihilation, 2018, and the entire time kept thinking "This feels like video game writing" and wouldn't you know it, the head writer Alex Garland, has in fact written for a bunch of video games. Namely, a few Devil May Cry games.

Annihilation was maybe not a bad movie, but it was kinda boring.

Red One.

Some problems.

So, Santa who travels w/ american military escort, is defacto monarch atop the most advanced technology on earth. His dominion alone decides who is naughty. He answers to no republic. He doesn't seem to be using the capacity for anything other than mining the Hearts and Minds (brainwashing) of children, indoctrinating them into an endless yearly cycle of consumerist consumption.

That about right?

Is this not EVERYTHING that is wrong with Civilization all in 1 movie?

The holiday cheer is skin deep. This is a grave dystopia. Our delusions run deep. This Culture isn't culture at all, it's a runaway fire.

Not even mentioning the enslavement of reindeer.

And through it all, the MILITARIZATION of Christmas, in all the characters, and the military industrial structure of Santa's organization. You know, because our daily digest of school shootings and kevlar backpacks is NOT enough. Santa with guns is our vision of childish merriment and wonder.

The writers, directors, producers, an entire conglomeration of people saw nothing wrong with this.

Secret Level felt like a huge missed opportunity to make something special, but they just took that giant budget and made something generic and forgettable. When you try to appeal to everybody, you appeal to nobody. Not a single episode really stood out to me, they all felt as if they could be happening in the same Universe, which in my mind defeats the point of the show.
I am hoping there will be a standout episode in the 2nd batch that showcases what this show could be by really differentiating the source material from the homogenized feel every other episode had. Looking forward to the Spelunky one, as long as they don't do something like they did with Pacman where the only link to the material is by name only.

The Am0r(0re one was good, the other ones were so so.

Every quarter, there are a bunch of new anime shows that last only that quarter. I usually start watching a bunch of them, and continue watching those that I think are good. The ones I've found to have been most worth watching this quarter are:

- Dan da dan. About yokai and aliens that want to steal your banana. And teenagers. With attitude.
- Magilumiere: Based on a popular manga about Magical Girl being a profession: fly around and exterminate "kaii" that pop up at an even higher frequency. Magic is programmed by engineers.

Secret Level continuing to fumble the extremely generous ball given to them by somehow making creative and beloved franchises as generic and uninspired as possible.

Only Murders in the Building. The wife has been watching and I have been watching it with her. Steve Martin is the best, Selena is a close 2nd, and Martin Short's character is abrasive and awful. Just got into season 2, hopefully it holds up as the seasons go on.

Selena isn't pregnant, she has lupus.

Been playing around with youtube's 8K videos and Vitual super resolution.

If you render 8k hdr videos into 4K output, the scaler is not as good as sending 8K through VSR, and having VSR downsample to 4K. The VSR downscaling does a better job than youtube's scalar. The textures look softer and not as harsh in high density meshed edges.

But if you like extra sharpness, yea, the youtube scalar's not bad.

Unfortunately, Tp4 hasn't figured out how to screen shot this effect, since it captures the snap in 8k.

31 out of 69 passengers survived a plane crash.

Those are damn good odds.

This doesn't exist, but I'd be super interested in a documentary on the mega-failure game Concord. I've only read snippets of some behind the scenes stuff from developers, and it sounds just insane. I need to know every sordid detail on how a $400 million game that took over 8 years to develop was shutdown and killed off less than 3 weeks into its lifecycle. It has to be one of the craziest stories of the video game industry, and I need to see a doc on it in 2025!

tp4tissue · « **Reply #2820 on:** Wed, 01 January 2025, 18:06:45 »

No way it cost 400 million.

Tp4 really misses this era of lines.

You just don't see this soft block geometry in modern computer driven anime.

Watched the Always Sunny x Abbot Elementary crossover. The 'ol Sunny gang was heavily neutered to fit the audience expectations, and the only laugh it got out of me was the very last line of the episode. The episode structure was fine, and even without knowing the Abbot cast I could understand why each character was paired together. I get what they wanted to do, and if I were normal I'd say the episode was cute, but Abbot is clearly written for normal people.

Little Fockers.
Re-watched for 100th time I assume, re-watched whole series, nice comedy.

Lee
Quite a movie I say. I love photography so this was a must-watch.

I Still See You.
Well, I thought it could be good one. Wasn't really, but watchable. Story sounded interesting.
