What movies are you watching?

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

The PS4 is a bad Blu-ray player tho

why's that? it's definitely better than streaming -- i'm not getting those blocky blacks we talked about -- but i don't know much more beyond that.

Its video processing is weak. Sony clearly wasn’t interested in investing in video disc playback for the PS4 (would have included UHD capabilities if they were) and put no effort into it.

Yeah, you’re not gonna see macroblocking because the Criterion BD will have good compression; the player won’t change that. But different BD players can produce very different picture quality results in terms of sharpness, detail, contrast, etc. I’ve A/B tested my PS3’s and PS4’s BD players before and the 3 produced demonstrably superior results.

My goal is to ruin TV-owners’ lives wherever I can

I can also confirm the PS3 has a better BR picture than the PS4.

BR capability was a big selling point when the PS3 came out. Most people had been streaming for years when the PS4 came out.

It’s a real bummer because IMO Sony are BY FAR the best company out there when it comes to 4K Blu-ray transfers. The PS4 should be one of the best players out there. But alas

[epilogue]

I have no problems with it. *shrugs*

The PS4 Pro especially and yet.

Anon was pretty terrible.

Clive Owen's career has been a disappointment since Children of Men.

It's like he is too sexy to succeed.

[The Argonaut]

There are diamonds in the rough and he has remained charming and compelling, but I'd agree that his career has definitely been a disappointment. I don't know how it happened, though. Did he just choose the wrong movies?

"A Dark Song"

Boring until the last 25 mins, then decently spooky.

[Balki]

I can only watch 1 movie at a time, so this thread's title is a bit deceiving. But right now, I'm watching "Panic In The Year Zero!"

I guess I could always rig up a 2nd TV near the main tv

[Jorge]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I laughed, too. Good one, Balki.
