David Ehrlich's 25 Best Films of 2018: A Video Countdown

Lion King - Live Action Teaser

BBC Bodyguard: the shooting

cloudballoon says...

I use a VPN connection to download & watch all BBC shows through the BBC iPlayer (https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer) app. It got HD & close caption for all shows but each episode is time limited. The Bodyguard is available for 6 months from broadcast day, the recently finished Versailles gave me about 2 weeks to watch, so I guess each show varies).

Is this on any streaming service outside the UK? Or is it watchable by “other” means?

Alien: In Memoriam

ant says...

Ditto. I rewatched both in HD after watching them back in 2000s or so in SD. They were still rad. I still need to get original ALIEN on disc. I have ALIENS (SE) on DVD.

I only recognize Alien and Aliens as canon. All the others are trash.

American Football player fires a minigun

ant says...

I rewatched Predator 1 in HD last year since I haven't seen it since on local SD TV broadcast in college. It was nice. Same for other classics like Alien, Aliens, etc.

On the other hand, it's perfect for home landscaping.



Note to self: watch Predator again.

In Saturn's Rings 8K (Narrated by LeVar Burton) 2018 Trailer

ant says...

You could always download it. Now, the question can you play it smoothly? None of my decade old home and former work computers can, but then I don't even have 4K yet. I just got 1080 HD in late 2014.

Good question...I don't have an answer. Maybe if you do, add this as a backup embed to the original?
I'm watching on a small screen, so I didn't notice the hd difference.

Buck said:

Mine is HD, the other is not. Mine also has the intro.

Should I dupe it anyway?

Canada Vignettes: Log Driver's Waltz

Aliens Movie - "Get Away from her, you bitch!"

ant says...

I bet he would be more scared with the first movie, Alien! That was scarier. I saw that on a VHS tape years later. Probably when I was a teen at my next door neighbor's house.

I rewatched both in HD last year. Both were still very good.

My dad took me, I was just 16. The perfect age for this one.
It took some convincing, the first one literally scared him out of his seat and had him hiding behind the one in front. This one made him jump, but he didn't leave the theater shaking in fear.

Steve Jobs Foretold the Downfall of Apple!

Mordhaus says...

As a former employee under both Jobs and Cook, I can tell you exactly what is wrong with Apple.

When I started with Apple, every thing we were concerned with was innovating. What could we come up with next? Sure, there were plenty of misses, but when we hit, we hit big. It was ingrained in the culture of the company. Managers wanted creative people, people who might not have been the best worker bee, but that could come up with new concepts easily. Sometimes corporate rules were broken, but if you could show that you were actively working towards something new, then you were OK.

Fast forward to when Cook started running the show, Steve was still alive, but had taken a backseat really. Metrics became a thing. Performance became a watchword. Managers didn't want creative thought, they wanted people who would put their nose to the grindstone and only work on things that headquarters suggested. Apple was no longer worried about innovating, they were concerned with 'maintaining'.

Two examples which might help illustrate further:

1. One of the guys I was working with was constantly screwing around in any free moment with iMovie. He was annoyed at how slow it was in rendering, which at the time was done on the CPU power. Did some of his regular work suffer, yeah. But he was praised because his concepts helped to shift some of the processing to the GPU and allow real time effects. This functionality made iMovie HD 6 amazing to work with.

2. In a different section of the company, the support side, a new manager improved call times, customer service stats, customer satisfaction, and drastically cut down on escalations. However, his team was considered to be:

a. making the other teams look bad

and

b. abusing the use of customer satisfaction tools, like giving a free iPod shuffle (which literally costs a few dollars to make) to extremely upset customers.

Now they were allowed to do all of these things, no rules were being broken. But Cook was mostly in charge by that point and he was more concerned with every damn penny. So, soon after this team blew all the other teams away for the 3rd month in a row, the new manager was demoted and the team was broken up, to be integrated into other teams willy-nilly.

Doing smart things was no longer the 'thing'. Toeing the line was. Until that changes, nothing is going to get better for Apple. I know I personally left due to stress and health issues from the extreme pressure that Cook kept sending downstream on us worker bees. My job, which I had loved, literally destroyed my health over a year.

Why Harry Dean Stanton Is The Greatest Character Actor

DrMaximan says...

Thank you for that Notarobot.
Why HDS never won an Oscar is frankly amazing! He was one of those few actors that can make a scene come alive without ever saying a word.
God bless him. Rest in peace Harry, your memory will live on.
