Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Nov 16, 2025, 10:58 PMFor whatever reason, reshaping has been really slow, and also kind of taking a toll on the whole computer. So my Plex has been unusable most of the time since I added it. It's kind of making me worked up. 


I still have Netflix, but browsing it doesn't make me feel good. There's so much I have no interest in.

Quote from: darkknightkryta on Oct 10, 2025, 01:53 PM@the-Pi-guy I found an open source AI upscaler.  It's pretty decent, it even has an open source Proteus and has rife built in.  Doesn't have any grain filters though.  It's called:  Real Video Enhancer
Using this to upscale Mushi-shi, and I think it looks really fantastic for it.

Got a bunch of things going.

- Deinterlacing an early 2000's anime that came in 1080i on the disc, which annoys me. (Have QTGMC set up, which is supposed to be one of the best deinterlacers)

- Upscaling another early 2000's anime that has only been released on DVD in the US.

- I'm still not sure how to handle it. But there's an older Cartoon Darkwing Duck, that for whatever reason looks atrocious.  Like worse than DVD. I feel like I need to do some combination of sharpening, denoising and upscaling.

Quote from: Legend on Nov 15, 2025, 04:33 PMYeah it was better than other modern marvel movies, but modern marvel movies are just so bad.

Mostly was just boring and uninteresting.
Quote from: nnodley on Nov 15, 2025, 08:16 PMI think the biggest issue was it could have been another 30 minutes longer. It was good at its current length but things felt rushed in the movie, imo
I dunno.  

I liked that there was an actual story driving the movie.  the mom angle wasn't amazingly unique but at least the action felt justified.

most action movies it feels more like the plot is decided after they come up with what action they want instead of picking a plot first. 

great action movies have a real plot.  matrix. Batman dark knight.   terrible action movies don't.  matrix 2 and 3.  most every superhero movie. 

so yeah,. not an amazing movie I'll treasure for years to come but I liked it and I've hated nearly every marvel movie I've watched for at least a decade.

Quote from: BasilZero on Nov 15, 2025, 11:23 PMWatched "Lucifer" a 2019 Malayalam/Kerala India movie from my home state in India.

I just love these action flicks from India, they remind me of the old Karate movies from the 1980s and 1990s I watched of Jackie Chan.


Only Indian films I've seen are RRR and Cirkus and one random netflix one that I think involved a hotel. I only remember a standoff scene.
