Lucas has always been a cinema tech pioneer, but the prequel era was not his best. He was surrounded by yes men and many of his bad choices were unchecked.

IIRC The Phantom Menace (and maybe the rest of the trilogy) was mastered in 1080, what people think of as TV resolution these days.

If you’re talking about the alien in Alien^3 it’s not GCI. It’s a puppet filmed separately and composited in. It’s a creative method, but the comp is done poorly.

Shapes can be trademarked and copyrighted. Coca cola have trademarked the shape of their plastic bottles.

You must be deliberately ignoring things at this point.

Have you never seen a science fiction time travel film where a person occupies the same timeline more than once? You’ve not seen Back to the Future? Or Doctor Who? Or more then half of any TV show or movie about time travel?

Also, travelling really fast to time travel, while not grounded in reality, is actually based off the theory of relativity and time dilation. It was also the premise of the Planet of the Apes films.

In this comic, they are suggesting that Superman going really fast will impart a physical force onto the planet Earth, like grabbing a spinning basketball and making it spin in the opposite direction. The affect shown here is that the objects on the surface of the planet will experience being thrown around.

This is based on a misinterpretation of what happens in the 1978 feature film Superman, starring Christopher Reeves. In the final act of this film Lex Luther presents two simultaneous threats for Superman to react to: a missile launched to kill many people, and Lois Lane in mortal danger. As the viewer we are expecting to watch him choose one over the other. He stops the missile, Lois Lane dies. Stricken by grief he comes up with a plan to travel back in time, presumably by travelling faster than light. Having travelled back to before Lois died there is now two Supermans: past Superman who is currently dealing with the missile, and now future Superman who goes and saves Lois. At a certain point past Superman travels back in time and there are no longer two Supermans.

So, it turns out that the author of the comic is the moron and relies on falsehoods for their punchline to be valid.

Buddy, listen to what people are trying to tell you. The Earth doesn’t change direction, time changes direction. We are watching the earth “re-winding”. Superman individually goes back in time and we see from his perspective time going backwards. He doesn’t impart forces on the planet to turn it backwards on it’s revolution.

He did it because he has to choose between stopping the missile or saving Lois. Going back in time means there’s 2 Supermans for a short period of time so he can do both.

Technically recording TV on VHS is piracy, but in practice no one is getting sued for it.

Mine works when the internet is down. Why doesn’t yours?

I just assumed it was a streaming movie. Basically just a long episode.

Not knowing your own licence plate number is indicative of being out of touch. Normal people need to know it to operate many parking ticket machines, when paying their registration, car insurance, parking in hotel car parks.

I can imagine when you have assistants to do all this you might think it’s a boon to have a digital assistant help you with basic world skills. Even just the arrogance of asking an LLM for tyre information instead of asking someone at the tyre shop.

I think you’ve really misunderstood bow ties.

How does one get malort outside of the US?

I think they spent a lot of money on it in wizard of Oz (the characters outright reference the colour in the film) while TV shows were made cheap.

It was a weird combination of remake and prequel. It hit all the same story points and barely added anything new apart from Tetris aliens.

Wasn’t there an issue with pornhub? They were forced to scrub their servers of any unverified content.

So, it sounds like it doesn’t offer a remote streaming service like Plex then. You just publicly expose or use a VPN like you can with Plex.

You can get around this by extending your network with a VPN. I know that’s an extra config, but a lot of people who are setting up home labs are already doing this anyway.

How does jellyfin offer remote streaming without a VPN?

Star Wars is first and foremost a fantasy series, not proper sci fi. Again, I don’t know the specific thing being referred to here, but this is a film series where people with magic powers fight with swords. Things that look cool take precedence over things that make scientific sense.

I’m not familiar with that.

Important to recognise they don’t shoot lasers in Star Wars. Their energy bolts have mass.

I have no problem with the bombers.

From a functional design it works. There’s artificial gravity inside the bomb bay and once they fall out of the floor they will continue in space on their inertia.

From a style point of view it works. Space battles in Star Wars was always a love letter to world war 2 dog fights. They are planes in space, not space ships. Always have been.
