Equinsu Ocha - White Devil, White Devil ᯅ

@GuyCromwell88 @jari428 @xaviersonline_ I’m still bent the new Dune titles weren’t released this way.

@iHeartPowder @jari428 @xaviersonline_ it is widely considered the aspect ratio for imax home releases aka imax cut home release, it fills up the 16:9 screen everybody has and comes close enough to original imax ratio to get the benefit of the intended composition

Found a reddit comment that cleared this up for me today.

@justinryanio @BasicAppleGuy And a native calendar app!

@BasicAppleGuy More native Apple Vision Pro apps would be nice. Apple Maps 🤞

WWDC Bingo #WWDC26

@GuyCromwell88 @jari428 @xaviersonline_ Agreed.

@micyoung75 Bro…you’ve got to give it a rest. The mere existence of a meeting WAS the olive branch. It was his chance to be contrite, to demonstrate an awareness that he behaved immaturely and was sorry. Instead he demanded answers nobody in a leadership position would ever give. Spare me

Pelley: firing raised in first 15 seconds. No resolution offered. Weiss openly hostile throughout. Then the disclosure - told repeatedly to include unverified assertions in stories. Refused every time. Then fired. Weiss called it the path he chose. He did choose. He chose not to lie.

Saw this on my way into work today. Hell yeah!

@jari428 @GuyCromwell88 @xaviersonline_ I guess there could be a reasonable debate about whether 1.78 would be considered IMAX or not.

@iHeartPowder @GuyCromwell88 @xaviersonline_ Literally only the second UHD of Batman v Superman Everything else is cropped to 1.78, not 1.43

@royermattw Watching this mouth breather get savaged in the comments brings great joy to my day 🤣

Because it took $13 million to make the reflecting pool do something it already did. Glad we could clear that up.

@MCCCANM @mtracey So is my topless mermaid back-tat good or no?🤣

@mtracey They already are required to ensure this. Have been for a long time (at least 2003), before he joined & before he got the tattoo. stripes.com/news/2003-01-2…

To be safe, all US military personnel should be required to consult the ADL's "hate symbol" database before getting any tats. Even if 99% of the population wouldn't have the foggiest idea that a certain symbol is Nazi-related. You never know what might make you an accidental Nazi

@adamhlavac With the advent of devices like the Apple Vision Pro, I’d love to see films released in full 1.43:1 😎

Keep seeing people post that IMAX 70mm is just 4:3 TV or that the extra top and bottom of the frame doesn't add anything. You just have a misunderstanding of IMAX photography. To accomodate other formats, Chris Nolan and Hoyte Van Hoytema use ground glass (Pic 1) etched with guides to appropriately frame every shot. This ensures Nolan can mostly center punch for every deliverable. That's also why IMAX tends to be center-framed (Pic 2). The filmmakers want you looking dead center at what's happening while the rest of the image melts away into your peripheral vision. The idea is that when you're watching IMAX 70mm on a massive 60-100' screen, all you see is the movie. No masking, no screen frame, nothing. It's meant to fully immerse the viewer. The size of the film negative and use of wide open lenses supports this in intimate moments because of the shallow depth of field. The image is tack sharp exactly where your eyes should be. For wider shots and action sequences, there will usually be an important object(s) close to center frame that helps guide your eyes to surrounding parts you need to focus on (Pic 3). This is also why Nolan's movies translate well to widescreen formats like 70mm, 35mm, and other 2.39:1 screens. He's not thinking about the height or width of the image independently, but as one giant canvas. There's negative space above peoples heads because if you pushed their heads to the top of the frame and the next shot had an important action in the lower third, you'd spend the majority of the movie pivoting your head up and down and across the massive screen (Pic 4). Exhausting. This is also why Nolan and other filmmakers crop from 1.43 to 1.78 for Blu-ray. The idea with the IMAX sequences is that they expand and use every inch of screen real estate. Pillarboxing 1.43 footage when intercut with 2.39 scenes makes the IMAX images appear smaller since they don't take up the full width of your screen. Footage should expand vertically, just like in theaters. I get that tons of people watch stuff on their phones and laptops these days, but you have to understand the original intention - the theatrical experience - and not you sitting at home watching the movie on your 15" Macbook, 6" phone screen, or TV that's probably 5 ft too far from your couch. Apologies for the long rant. 🤘🎞️

@Skylinex13 Disagree. The most important and relevant elements are framed for every viewer. Expanded formats to add immersion on the rare case it’s available. Immense care goes into filming this way.

urely doing this kinda demonstrates a reaaaaally compromised artistic vision like if you can just fuck around this much with aspect ratio, you clearly don't particularly care about shot composition

@jeremymbarr These are principled decisions. Good for them.

A 60 Minutes veteran tells me: “They stayed so as not to abandon their producers and staff, many of whom simply can’t afford to quit. It’s an act of self-sacrifice, really, and of generosity. And they’re voting for the survival of 60 Minutes.” But, they added, “I can guarantee you that they’ll hold Bilton to his promise not to allow corporate interference.”

@KarenAttiah @washingtonpost lol “wrongfully”. Many were fired for their vile comments after Kirk’s murder. We’ll see how this plays out. I predict a “womp, womp”.

I was wrongfully fired by the @washingtonpost in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk killing. And I challenged them. Finally we went to arbitration. ✊🏾

@CultureCrave That’s sick👀😎

'The Odyssey' website shows you how the film looks in different aspect ratios 🎞️

@GuyCromwell88 @xaviersonline_ Which films are released to UHD in 1.43:1? I need to get me one of these 👀

@xaviersonline_ This person is a fucking idiot, imax versions get released for home video all the time and they’re great. Denis himself said he thought the Dune IMAX cuts were getting released. Fraser himself said he composed shots for IMAX. This isn’t complicated.

@micyoung75 The gaslighting continues apace 🙄 You know there’s audio, right. The things he said were the opposite of what you describe. They were subjective opinions and he was uncivil. And openly antagonistic towards his boss. This isn’t remotely an example of cancel culture 🤡

Weiss's entire brand was stopping cancel culture. Pelley said true things calmly in a meeting. She fired him for it. JVL's frame is the right one: they never wanted to end cancel culture. They wanted to own it. Some ideas get protected. The ones Weiss dislikes get you terminated. The staff saw it happen in real time.

@Coloradokarma__ @elonmusk @cybertruck I see what you did there 🤣

Take that @elonmusk! 😡 @cybertruck

@SirBadOpinions Eyeballing? You telling me these are counted by people and not machines? You can’t be serious.

If CA counted all its votes in one day, the argument would be that they weren’t doing it properly and were just eyeballing ballots and not double checking things. No matter what, they’d find an excuse to claim fraud because the process isn’t what concerns them, but the results.

@micyoung75 Dissent in private the baseline expectation of any professional at any job. Key word is “professional”. Y’all keep gaslighting yourself into thinking this was acceptable behavior and it’s genuinely hilarious.

Bilton's letter calls Pelley's public truth-telling "ambush" and "remarkable incivility." The staff applauded when Bilton left the room. Three correspondents remain. The termination letter is the argument. It says the price of staying is performing silence in public while dissenting only in private. Pelley refused. That's the whole story.

@JeffMor31278901 @mistergeezy

@iHeartPowder @mistergeezy A deplorable person. Straight from Hillary

I am totally invested in her downfall.

@HunterBoone @christopherrufo This guy is high on the copium and I’m sooooo entertained by it 🤣

@christopherrufo More successful? It’s called failing upward to union-bust CBS which you should be familiar with. She will be out of a job in 2 years, it’s simple pattern-recognition, Chris.

Bragging that you initiated a chain of events that made your enemy 1000x more successful is a very, very funny thing to do
