I put on Wing Commander but it's one of those DVDs that is formatted to use like half the screen with black bars top and bottom and like 4:3 doesn't bother me but the tiny middle screen thing drives me crazy

kinda miss the time where a well-made game would have one thing it could show that looked way better than everything else the game

anything where, like, there's information to be found if you bother to look it up is like this. people in r/Switch asking "how does [X game] run on Switch 2" as if Youtube doesn't exist. And you're the asshole if you get annoyed!

Yeah they get such an attitude about it. There's no culture of quality posting.

they all think they're owed a bespoke step by step for everything.

I think what pours gas on it is Reddit doing algorithmic "here's something in a sub you aren't subscribed to" suggestions. I never would have gone into r/DVD but there I am, massaging my temples because yet another ChatGPT brained moron thinks burning an MP4 to a DVD means it'll play on meemaw's TV.

I watched Boogie Nights recently and I really think the key to success with Mark Wahlberg is for him to not be acting at all. The less he's acting, the better his performance.

Jerry Reed @jerryreed.bsky.social · 1d

Would any famous actor be higher than Wahlberg on a Can't Do Shane Black Stuff list?

there was a numbered art print there but the steam from the coffee maker, over time, has its way with things.

Jim Caveizal will no longer return as Jesus in ‘THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST’ sequels.

They are currently looking for someone to fill the role.
