God I hate that word. Seeing it makes me feel so tired. Disingenuous, false, inauthentic, misleading, ostentatious. These all work. That word just immediately makes me think of white people righteously policing the instagram posts of other white people. It gives me a headache.
Hey now, that's ^ one hell of a dog song! Am not that educated about or predisposed toward country music, really, but credit where credit's due.

To me, I have a tough time understanding that there are human beings who exist who do not get why other human beings would love this...
Straight talk, this is my go-to Dolly song for "if you don't like this one, I don't know what to fuckin' tell ya."

This, with all the nagging details included, actually sounds like a really nice evening.Geiginni wrote: Wed Oct 12, 2022 1:55 pm On a related note: movies on 35mm (and often 70mm) print stock generally look like shit compared to DCI-compliant, 4k, 12 or 14-bit color channels digital cinema running at 60 fps.
Just before the pandemic, I got to see a fresh 70mm print of 2001: A Space Odyssey at a local classic movie house.
As great a movie as it is, I noticed:
- gate flicker is really noticeable at 24 fps, especially with a large shutter on a 70mm print. There is A LOT of blanking time involved in moving and projecting a frame of 70mm
- Color saturation suffers when "un-compressing" an anamorphic frame. Even non-anamorph prints have worse color gamut and saturation than digital.
- After viewing digital content for 15+ years, the grain in a print becomes really obvious, as it does it's little brownian noise dance around the screen
- Along with grain, the non-uniformity of the print chemistry and variations in the processing chemistry really stand out
- Dynamic range is poor compared to digital. The blacks aren't very black, the whites are hazy and muddled. Shadow details get lost and washout is common.
Additionally, that classic movie house had poor acoustics and the audio was imbalanced and had poor surround distribution.
