Not so much HDR but HFR related, I see that a test HFR DCP for Ang Lee's Gemini Man has been sent to theatres. Let's hope more cinemas and their servers can handle it than the Billy Lynn's test DCP!

Love me HFR(100/120fps) with sports in order to see more clarity and detail of the action and I’m all for viewing a feature motion picture in the way it is intended by the filmmakers to be seen, which reminds me, I’ve been holding back on a follow-up to a previous public service announcement.

One moment.

"Several social media posts critical of Tom Cruise's on-set behavior were shared by The Scientology Money Project -- a news site dedicated to investigating the money, propaganda, and legal matters of Scientology, of which Cruise is a member. The site posted comments said to be from Navy sailors on the TR (names were redacted) with people calling out Cruise for allegedly telling the crew not to look at or talk to him during Top Gun 2 filming.

Not having been there myself, I don't know who said what to whom. It does seem like it could easily have been a misunderstanding. But if any U.S. Navy servicemembers really did feel disrespected, well, that's not good. It's not good in general, and it's not good for a movie set on their turf.

Paramount already had to step in and correct some previous Top Gun 2 chatter about production halting so Tom Cruise could learn to fly Navy fighter jets. Sources said Cruise couldn't fly the jets in question even if he wanted to, because civilians just aren't allowed to. But Cruise would be doing some flying in "certain aircrafts"."

better than social media critics, stuff like this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94Je0IDQpdU#t=1s , because

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
President Theodore Roosevelt

To be clear to new readers, the statements by Navy officials in this article - https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/loc...505966161.html
would not have been released without the Captain’s approval as to their veracity. Of course, the next thing you know the social media haters will be questioning the integrity of Carlos (https://www.public.navy.mil/airfor/c...NGOFFICER.aspx)

Anyway, as a tie-in to this - https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...d#post16101663
I’ll post some new fresh pics later on. Meanwhile…..

Remember this –

Jon Stewart watches "Lawrence of Arabia" - YouTube

at the time, people considered it (watching LoA on a phone) to be funny

It still is to me. Well, more tragic than funny.

I'm surprised how much tweeking is involved in getting good PQ with 4K HDR. I'm not accustomed to adjusting it for different films and switching back and forth between BDs and stuff like that. I'm kind of a set it and forget it kind of guy. It does look really nice when you take the time, though. I'm shocked by what I was watching without tweeking A lot of people I talk to say "It's too dark, it's too dark" but it just requires a little thoughtful attention to detail. I should know better, though, at this point.

[Geoff D]

You shouldn't have to change it for every film, but again I guess we're back to you getting it to how you want it to look, rather than what it should look like (for better or worse).
