This is despite the fact the last firmware update was released in mid-September. Seems kind of weird they're not getting current firmware installed at the factory, especially if it's THAT old.

Sony shouldve bought the IP when they were being sold if they wanted to keep them on PlayStation.

Yeah I feel like this should go down as Sony shooting themselves in the foot.

The fact that Sony now owns both Insomniac (since 2019) and Naughty Dog (since 2001) but not two of the most well-known characters each of them created is...something.

Fuck he's terrible.

He really is.

He also likes to hang out with people on the wrong side of the Serbian Nationalism movement.

At...at least he's honest?

But he did have COVID, so...

Did he though? There was enough circumstantial evidence raised just looking at the court documents and his own actions that that definitely would have been dug deeper into.

I think he'll get the jab but that's my uneducated guess.

He'll never get it. This dude is so fucking loony he legit regrets getting the surgery that saved his tennis career and literally thinks you can make water/food "better" for you simply by being positive around it.

That's not what is happening with either situation. The Majors want Djokovic to play(and we're willing to let him play) and the NBA wants Irving to play(and are willing to let him). In both cases the only thing that limits their abilities to actual is the laws of land of where they are to be playing. There is a high probability that if Novak had followed the rules and not lied about it on his form, that he would be playing right now.

If he hadn't lied on his form there'd definitely have been more digging done into whether or not he ever actually had covid in the first place.

Dude's gonna get his career ended and try and be a martyr over it.

Literally worse than useless

He didn't even lose his appeal.

The judges straight-up dismissed his application for appeal.

Weird. One of the Gamestop stores where I live has 17 of the white one alone

Is there really still a shortage of these in the US?

That statement has pretty much been valid for as long as the account has existed, and yet here we are

It's always fun to go back to movies like that and look at the casting choices.

A South African guy playing Imhotep
A Jewish dude playing a nomadic Muslim guy who's a descendant of the Medjay
A Venezuelan woman playing Anck Su Namun
And of course Rachel Weisz being the reincarnation of Nefertiri

A topic from the guy who literally posts misinformation about Trump, the election, and covid.

That account has always had a sus amount of leeway when it comes to politics and covid-related stuff.

i don't even bother uprgrading. if i have something on dvd / blu ray its gonna stay that way. no sense in wasting money on something i already have.

There are notable improvements though. Like for example the 4k release of the Lord of the Rings trilogy fixed a lot of the issues with colour grading that the blu-rays had.

https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Pirates-of-the-Caribbean-The-Curse-of-the-Black-Pearl-4K-Blu-ray/303535/#Review

Disney, what happened? The studio's 4K UHD release of Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl shows all the telltale signs of gross processing and looks like it should have been released a decade or more ago. The picture's grain has been reduced to a meshy, artificial appearance, looking frozen and flat and certainly less than genuine and flattering. Edge enhancement is in evidence. Textures have been scrubbed down and sharpened back up. Details appear waxy and lacking complexity. It's not that there is no detail, it's that it's been manipulated, rendered less than ideally lifelike or at least filmic, robbing the picture of its grand visual complexity and natural filmic beauty.

The HDR color grading does little to make the image pop, either. The grading renders the image darker and some colors deeper such as Sparrow's red bandana or the red British military uniform and flag colors, but there's not a lot of pop or depth. Black levels are middling, flesh tones are pasty, and whites lack brilliance. This is just a real clunker of a UHD image and one of the least impressive the format has seen.

Disney's Dolby Atmos soundtrack is wanting at reference level. The track lacks fullness and aggression when played back at calibrated reference norms. It's basically the same song and dance from most Disney releases, where there's just not a lot of verve or vigor at work. The subwoofer is not muted, but neither does the track exhibit the kind of commanding low-end depth the material demands (such as when the Pearl shells Port Royal in chapter four). The overhead channels are used sparingly, at least in terms of offering discrete effects. A few bursts do manage to reach up above for obvious engagement, but light complimentary duty is about all that's here. The net improvements to spatial engagement over the old LPCM 5.1 track are negated by the lackluster dynamics and depth. Dialogue does present clearly from the center and musical engagement is appropriately wide and immersive with positive definition to all instrumental elements.

Wow I'm glad I actually skipped this one, because I probably would have just opened it without even thinking anything could be wrong.

If you don't want the meat you have to order one with meat and ask for it to be removed. There's no option for a "plain" Egg McMuffin.

Just getting a "Blocked" page when trying to access reddit through Firefox.

Tested IE and Chrome, both are fine.

Still works in Safari on iOS so it's nothing to do with my account.

It was working with no issues less than an hour ago so this is kinda weird

Also it's definitely not on D+ in Canada either. Since it's an HBO Max thing in the US I'm betting it's exclusive to Crave here (I need to check on my TV if that's the case). Definitely not an issue with it being rated R since we do have Star and I can watch both Deadpool 1+2 on D+.

Didn't it release on D+ in the UK on December 1st?

It's rated R in the US. I'm not sure if the US version of D+ has any rated R stuff. I could he wrong though.

It does not.

https://www.newsweek.com/iranian-aytatollah-releases-animation-showing-drone-strike-hitting-killing-donald-trump-1669240

The official website of Iranian Ayatollah Ali Khamenei published an animated video on Wednesday that depicted the assassination of former President Donald Trump.

The video shows what appears to be the former president playing golf at his Florida resort, Mar-a-Lago, with his former Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, and a few other people. The video then depicts Iran using a four-wheeled robot and a drone to survey Trump and Pompeo as they play.

It then shifts to a shot of what appears to be a drone operator, who sends a text message in Arabic. A message pops up on screen in English warning that "Soleimani's murderer and the one who gave the order will pay the price."

It is revealed that this same message was sent to a number of Trump's associates that were playing golf with him, as well as Trump himself. An overhead drone shot then appears to target the former president, and it is implied that the drone operator fires a rocket towards Trump.

As the firing sequence appears to start, the screen cuts to black, and the message "Revenge Is Definite" is displayed in English and Arabic.

The video was published by Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran, to mark the second anniversary of the death of Qassem Soleimani.

Soleimani, a high-ranking Iranian general, was assassinated on January 3, 2020 by an American drone strike on Trump's orders. Soleimani was the leader of the Iranian military's Quds Force, a clandestine special operations group reportedly responsible for the deaths of thousands throughout the Middle East.

In the aftermath of the assassination, Iranian officials condemned the United States and called for the U.S. to pay for its actions. A number of Iranian officials backed up this sentiment, including the President of Iran, Ebrahim Raisi, who stated that Trump should be "prosecuted and killed."

This is also not the first time that the Iranian government has released this type of threatening video. Many of these threats came during the former president's administration, but have also popped up during the administration of President Joe Biden.

One of these videos, released last year in May, was a chilling animation depicting the U.S. Capitol building being blown up, as well as an armed invasion of the city of Jerusalem.

In January 2021, just days after he left office, Iranian officials published a picture that showed former President Trump playing golf under the darkened shadow of a drone bomber. The picture was accompanied by a similar message: "Revenge Is Inevitable."

Soleimani's daughter reportedly also described Trump as "defeated, isolated and broken" after he left office, according to Iranian news agency Tasnim.

Iran's former foreign minister, Javad Zarif, also stated on the last day of his presidency that Trump's administration was "relegated to the dustbin of history in disgrace."

The U.S. and Iran do not have formal diplomatic relations. Newsweek has reached out to the Interests Section of the Islamic Republic of Irana de facto consulate that runs as part of the Embassy of Pakistanfor comment.

Shit is borderline comical given how badly animated it is

Who thought this looked good

Some connection to mutants?

That's how it is in the comics isn't it? Didn't the Celestials essentially force-evolve humans millions of years ago and put whatever DNA shit causes mutants to be born inside them?

g0ldie posted...

asked this in the other topic, but does this mean, in the MCU, that Thanos and Star Fox are androids?

No, Thanos was a natural birth, and Starfox was "adopted".

Well yeah but we all knew a sequel was going to happen, it just wasn't a high-priority because the whole point of the movie in the first place was getting Strange and the Time Stone into the MCU simply for Infinity War.

The real thing I'm surprised hasn't been confirmed at all is Kit Harrington coming back, since I'm assuming is that would be separate from an Eternals sequel.

Ayyyyyy there goes that right-wing talking point

I think they explained it fine. It's just a glitch that sometimes happens.

That was just one person's assumption and never actually corroborated, which is probably where having this as a series rather than just a movie would come in handy. Seems like a pretty bad glitch that Arishem would want fixed, no?

Also definitely other questions >_>

1. Why wasn't Titan actually destroyed by the Celestial that would have been inside of it, given Eternals were sent there

2. Ego isn't actually a Celestial and was lying, isn't he >_>

Also it turns out the dad is completely misrepresenting the situation (shocker!), and is one of those real anti-trans, anti-gay, racist assclowns

btw, is it me or Jon Snow was fucking pointless in the movie? he didn't do shit. lol

i was expecting him to have an actual important role in the MCU, not just being one of the Eternals's love interest.

and when i expected him to reveal his identity or whatever, that other chick gets carried away to space...

Did you not watch the post-credits scene? >_>
