   I really enjoyed the beach-side cooking scene in Ride Your Wave: https://www.sakugabooru.com/post/show/107905 Great movie overall.

   Is lead based solder not standard? (I've never soldered.)

   If you want a quiet keyboard get one with Boba U4 switches.

   To add more to the confusion, there's also single-laser IMAX, which gives you a 4K picture in a 1.9 to 1 aspect ratio. Taller than standard 2.39 to 1, but not the full IMAX.

   Good point, and personally I've never seen compression artifacts on well-produced blu rays.

   65" OLED is fantastic (better color, contrast, resolution). One thing is that you get to see the movie sooner. May or may not be a big deal. Another is that you get a big screen with few distractions around (hopefully). Something about

    From that link, it looks like they do compress and use JPEG2000 for it, with a max bit-rate of 250 mbit/s. IIRC 4k blu rays don't do more than 100 mbit/s, so that's quite a bit better.

    Immersiveness. Maybe it's intriguing to look at the human face in extreme detail?

    IMO the ranking goes like this: 1. IMAX 70mm 2. 70mm (non-IMAX, 2.2/1 aspect ratio) 3. Dual Laser IMAX (4K, can show the full 1.43/1 picture instead of just 1.9/1) 4. Single laser IMAX (4K, shows 1.9/1) 5. Dolby Cinema (

    Well, I think "IMAX with Laser" is 4K. https://www.imax.com/news/imax-laser-here

    >Satoshi Kon probably wasn't as consistent as Miyazaki. Well, aside from a few small projects, he only made four movies and one show, and in my estimation they're all excellent. Paranoia Agent I would say is deliberately uneven

    Haven't seen the others, but I thought Mirai was excellent.

    They say we don’t see movies like this being made anymore, but when did we ever see movies like Miyazaki’s being made at any time by anyone other than Miyazaki?

    I suggest giving Cormac McCarthy’s final novels, the pair The Passenger and Stella Maris, a read. With these feelings, you might find that they read very powerfully for you.

    There's also a dashed line coming off of, Greenland is it? I'm not aware of anything that might refer to... Maybe the person who drew that map intended to evoke possible routes with those dashed lines.

    It hits even harder when you finish Stella Maris and consider the significance of that red sash — that she put it on despite her despairing solipsism. It breaks your heart.

    But the love between the father and his son persists to the very end. Here are some people using the word uplift in their review on Amazon: [0]. There are some negations though ("this book is not uplifting"). [0]: https:/&#x

    I don't think it is generally considered to be as great as his other works like Blood Meridian, Suttree, and All the Pretty Horses. It's just his most popular.

    I haven't read it myself, but I've seen many report that it was uplifting to them. Amid the utter horror and hopeless bleakness a parent does everything they can to protect their child.

    WSJ: People have said "Blood Meridian" is unfilmable because of the sheer darkness and violence of the story. CM: That's all crap. The fact that's it's a bleak and bloody story has nothing to do with whether or not

    One of my favorite quotes from Suttree: He looked at a world of incredible loveliness. Old distaff Celt's blood in some back chamber of his brain moved him to discourse with the birches, with the oaks. A cool green fire kept breaking i
