Yeah, I get it, but Perseverance Rover NASA engineers don’t have a fine restaurant right next to the jumping off point for work - https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...k#post16844182

Very true Penton; nonetheless it's a nice change of space and decor.
We need new spaces during this fatiguing pandemic.

Well I don’t think I can get it in HDR, but what the hell, after seeing the gifted Pelé struggle now just in walking s/p joint replacement surgery at the very beginning of the new Netflix biographical documentary about him which debuted last night, I’ll watch the premiere of Season 4 of Snowfall tonight and see how bad actor Franklin is doing with his rehab –

Yes I saw that; it's all over the Internet, in all the World News...from the Associated Press to Twitter to Facebook to NASA to Al Jazeera to NPR to PBS to Reuters to Bloomberg to BBC ... The New York Times, C-SPAN, Space Science, ABC News, CBS News, ....all over World Space News (WSN).

regarding paragraph #3 above ^
the Top Gun: Maverick situation is murky as this is exactly what Jim told investors yesterday -
“this November, Tom Cruise returns as
Ethan Hunt in the next installment of one of the most beloved action spy series of all time,
Mission Impossible.

Mission Impossible 7 is scheduled for theatrical release on November 19th … and will come to
Paramount+ exclusively 45 days later.
The rest of our 2021 film lineup … including Snake Eyes, Clifford the Big Red Dog and Top Gun: Maverick will all be coming to Paramount+ in 2022 after their respective theatrical runs.”

Penton you're good, very.

Yes, I was born near Montreal, only few miles...28.
...'Chaos Walking' ... sounds promising, @ least the title.

I’m thinking Mr. Burke from Ontario would have trouble with that assertion. Don’t ask, long story.

Not so sure about that. Lionsgate was one of the more inexpensive labels out there.

I'd be more excited to hear they were joining Movies Anywhere.

A presentation on the program for the upcoming Hollywood Professional Alliance Tech Retreat - https://hpaonline.com/event/2021-hpa...ab=extra-tab-3

Is Creative Intent Wrecking the Intent of the Creator?

Personally, I don’t think so (caveat being as long as there is no significant breakdown from the camera to the living room), but I do think that people crave - https://food.ndtv.com/health/why-do-...and-fat-704167

Anyway, the preview for the presentation -
“There are always complaints about content but complaints about incomprehensible dialogue or too dark images seem to hit the headlines. Social Media means we know even before the end of the content if the audience has a problem (we never hear when they like it though) This session will explore some of the background to the issues and ask if Creative Intent is making it better or worse!!

Hello all, I am in need of a second opinion on something.

How would you rate the HDR to SDR conversion of the following samples?

Original untouched 2160p (HDR)
Down-scaled to 1080p (SDR)

Thank you.
