"After consulting with colleagues, I'd like to retract my previous statement. My name is Polyester Blend.
Related JAQing off opinion piece in The Guardian posted today: "Where are all the films about ‘whiteness’?" .
For those unfamiliar with the acronym, JAQ = "Just asking questions," a bad faith tactic pushing an absurd narrative (e.g. "movies for white people are disappearing") by pretending to ask innocent questions.
Direct quote, emphasis mine:
That’s why the final step towards true racial equality on screen is for whiteness to be cinematically named, described and dethroned from its “just human” position of cultural power. It’s time for white people to develop a cinema culture all of their own.
It's riddled with white power talking points like this. This shit is really fucked up. It is irresponsible for a well-known major news source to publish shit like this, even with the "opinion" label attached. It's basically right wing extremist (aka Nazi) recruitment propaganda.
I've had Cocoon (1985) on my mind lately, so I'm gonna run it by the wife for weekend viewing. I haven't seen it since it came out. We saw one old people movie recently (*batteries not included (1987)) and she dug it, so maybe it's time for some Wilford Brimley lol

Wait a minute, where the hell am I? This isn't Ten Forward!
Ah, yes, that's correct, thank you. Your cpu/gpu must support it, or it won't play.
I was curious, so I looked it up. AV1 is more efficient than HEVC by like 28%! On the downside, encoding is horrifically slooow. It'll be interesting to see how much hardware support AV1 gets in the coming years, because encoding time will have a dramatic effect on its adoption rate.
Interesting to note: AV1 can be played in Kodi, Plex, Emby, Jellyfin, VLC, Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Opera. So on the software side, it's pretty widely supported.
Sorry, doesn't look like it supports AV1:
Video Playback
Supported formats include HEVC, MV‑HEVC, H.264, HDR with Dolby Vision, HDR10, and HLG
It deserves better than a 7.3, which is low even for imdb. Agreed, this movie is dope and more people should see it. Especially western fans.
Hello David, Nate, Josh, Marco, Carl, and Niccolò. How are you all feeling today?
I think it's a diarrhea face. Yeah, that's a fun thing to say out loud.
