The ORA does not rank submissions competitively. We use a modified lottery to reflect open and fair principles. The winners are randomly drawn.

There is someone who has taken a lot of old films and used AI to colorize them badly and "boosted" the frame rate from 24 to 60fps and then uploaded this trash to the Internet Archive.

I hate this. Films shot in b&w have an aesthetic that is destroyed by colorizing them. Video games might look better with more frames per second but movies don't. We didn't accidentally settle on 24fps, it was trial and error. A film shot in 60fps looks bad. A movie that has been artificially "boosted" to 60fps is an abomination and should be destroyed.

Am entering the #forkiverse and doing my #introduction like I'm walking into a party where I don't know anyone. Parties are on my mind as I've been clearing up after our bash last night (my 'where are you now' pic of full recycling bin).

I play/write #music and love #cooking. Into #books + #films, and interested in politics/tech (but no expert).

I'm here because I have to use social media for my stuff but find it annoying/stressful. Also, I'd go to the opening of an envelope if invited.

This Valkyrie poster really seems to be making fun of Tom Cruise.

The Shrinking Freedom of Indian Cinema.

Are Westerners aware of the creeping progress of gleichschaltung under Hindu-Nationalist rule?

Warning: The same forces are here now.

Just been watching It's A Wonderful Life. Did you know Jimmy the Raven also starred in the Wizard of Oz, among many other films?

Question - good films you have watched once and occasionally go to watch again and then think “Christ, I can’t put myself through that again” - I will start with Manchester by the Sea #cinema #films #movies

Automatically blocking any account that uses Harry Potter to farm engagement. It is time to move past Harry Potter as a society, we do not need to keep maintaining JK Rowling's cashflow or propping a series that actually is not very well written and chock full of offensive racial stereotypes and literary cliches.
