From the beautiful native stereoscopic 3D animation of The Book of Life to... this. Cameron, Soderbergh, and Aronofsky was bad enough, but Gutierrez??? I never expected him to give up on art. Looking at the image it appears to be straight up slop 😓

What a delight to screen Zootopia 2 in pristine Dolby 3D today at the community cinema (familycinema.ca) for our final show of the season! I paired Pixar's lovely Bao short with it as well, also in 3D. We had a crowd of over 300! 🤩 #film #movies #disney #zootopia #3D #3-D #3dmovies #wdas

Disappointed to share that the James Cameron Billie Eilish concert film is slathered with AI-conversion tech by the same Outsyders group that ruined the live-action lilo and stitch film's "3D" presentation. #3D #stereoscopy #3-D #movies #film

I wish I'd have set up a dedicated optical drive enclosure earlier! It's so convenient to rip multiple discs at once and cover all use-cases with one box: CD/DVD/BD/3D/UHD, redump, disc quality scans & more! Highly recommend all physical media enthusiasts look into it. #dvd #bluray #uhd #4k #makemkv
The front of a tower PC showing 5 optical drives:

1. original legit firmware UHD Pioneer manufactured the last month before they removed makemkv libredrive compatibility in firmware

2. reflashed Asus (variant of UHD LG WH16NS60) to redump-compatibile firmware which allows for advanced dumping of CDs and certain console games, and libredrive

3. reflashed LG to commercial disc validation firmware which allows checking disc quality, and libredrive

4. reflashed 2022 pioneer to UHD-capable 2020 firmware with libredrive, repackaged into generic Chinese enclosure

5. reflashed 2024 pioneer to UHD-capable 2020 firmware, in Pioneer BD enclosure

If you're on the fence about getting a DLP projector or an aspect ratio changing screen, don't hesitate. You'll regret having not done it sooner. I am so sad Wicked isn't on 3D Blu-ray. The UHD versions are among the best looking and sounding home media releases ever 😓 #projection #3d #hometheater

You can do anything."A photograph of the projection screen displaying Wicked. Elphaba looks at Glinda bashfully, with a twinkle in her eye following Glinda's words of encouragement.

Bluesky is unethically collaborating with dictators. It operates a Turkish content labeler, which any account registered in Turkey is required to subscribe to, and censors posts. I'm disappointed, but not surprised. Was a good run here.

BC roads are about to get a lot more dangerous.
The British Columbia government is making changes to its graduated drivers licensing regime, eliminating the need for a second road test to obtain a full licence.

Public Safety Minister Garry Begg says the changes, if approved, will see new drivers get "on-road experience" and be subject to a 12-month restriction rather than be required to take another test to get their Class 5 licence.

Canada absolutely needs to repeal The Preclearance Act, 2016. It prevents Canadian citizens from leaving American border facilities when still on home soil, among other ridiculous provisions like allowing CBP officers to be armed! From CAUT Travel advisory: www.caut.ca/sites/defaul...
Enhanced Powers of U.S. Customs and Border Protection Officers at
Canadian Preclearance Zones
U.S. preclearance zones are in eight Canadian airports: Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Toronto,
Ottawa, Montreal and Halifax. Preclearance zones are also located at the Vancouver train terminal, Port of
Vancouver and some B.C.-Washington State ferry routes. There are also proposals for new preclearance zones at
Toronto’s Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ) and Montreal’s train station for Amtrak services to the U.S.
In the Preclearance Act, 2016 – which came into force in August 2019 – the powers of U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) officers in Canadian preclearance zones were expanded beyond what was originally enacted in
the 1999 version of the Preclearance Act. These changes in powers include:
▪ Canadians can no longer simply withdraw from a preclearance zone after entry.
▪ Under the new Act, travellers in preclearance zones may now be detained by CBP officers and required to
answer identity questions and explain their reasons for seeking to withdraw from the preclearance zone.
While detaining a traveller seeking to withdraw must be without “unreasonable delay,” the length of
such a delay is not defined under the new Act.
▪ Physical searches, including strip searches, may be conducted by U.S. officers when a Canadian police
officer is unavailable or unwilling to conduct such a search.
▪ If Canada Border Services Agency officers are armed in a location where there is a preclearance zone,
then CBP officers in the preclearance zone may now also carry firearms.2
While Canadian law continues to apply in preclearance zones, including human rights legislation and the Charter
of Rights and Freedoms, CBP powers are enhanced under the new Preclearance Act and the ability to enforce
Canadian law is effectively constrained by provisions of the Act

Cineplex is now attempting to gaslight me 😂 dawg, I am older than 6 years old and know what different shapes look like.
Cineplex email lying to customer.

Good day,

We did receive a response from the location.

They have confirmed that the movie was shown in proper format.

"The film is being shown in Flat. If we were showing it in Scope, it would warp the image on screen. I verified with the playlist and the projector that it is being shown in Flat format/"

 

Please feel free to follow up with the location further with your complaint.

Sorry for any inconviences.

 
Regards,
