[quote]I was looking at imdb and saw Kate Beckinsale listed.[/quote] For [i]Blackhawk Down[/i]? I don't think that's right. [i]Pearl Harbor[/i] (2001), maybe? The scene where the wife gets the message (from Randy Shughart, Johnny Strong's character, to his wife), the wife was played by GIann...
It is the modern day equivalent of [i]The Longest Day[/i] or [i]A Bridge Too Far[/i]. The only films remotely comparable are things like [i]It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World[/i] or the epic disaster flicks of the 70s. ETA: Krikey, Cokes - this is a crazy bump (and we covered a lot of these issues ...
[quote]Unless I’m missing a use case.[/quote] I'm just spitballing, but using a monitor for heavy graphic/productivity stuff that requires (or would ideally be at) 4k and also does lower resolution, higher framerate for gaming. Would be niche, for sure. :dunno: I might either have complete...
[quote]Who keeps a monitor for 5+ years anyway?[/quote] Meh - I average about 10. :lol:...
[quote]Which is why I think they won’t win it. The pressure is on them.[/quote] I mean, you might have a point, but they must have some confidence in the thought, "We aren't playing our best and we're still winning." If that motivates them to play harder down the stretch it is an advantage. If ...
[quote]What about burn-in? Seems like all of the youtube videos show plenty of burn-in after a few years.[/quote] While this is definitely an issue with OLED, there are ways to manage it, both within the monitor itself and a few apps to run in windows....

:gmt: The United States has awarded over 3500 Medals of Honor, over 600 of whose recipients gave their lives in the effort. Lest we forget - Robert Raymond Scott, United States Navy, KIA, December 7, 1941 [i]For conspicuous devotion to duty, extraordinary courage and complete disregard o...
That MSI monitor looks out of stock everywhere....
[quote]If you want to jump to 4k, by all means.[/quote] Josh - I wanted to get your take on using a LG C3 (or C4) as a 4k monitor, particularly the 42" ones. I am going to play Cyberpunk and Baldur's Gate. I do not play COD/MW or most first person/fast twitch games. I'm more about immersion ...

Well, he's "all in" on the "read whatever the frick is on the prompter, my guy" that his handlers tell him, including when to pause and so forth. However, your point is still well taken....
[quote]I’m certain Texas will also bitch about the SECCG always being held in Atlanta.[/quote] Hell, that should rotate at the very least. Florida has 3 or 4 sites that could handle it, plus Nashville, New Orleans and now Houston, San Antonio, Dallas-FW and maybe even Austin could all handle it ...

[quote]You aren’t convincing me there isn’t more than alcohol at play there.[/quote] Well, alcohol is the main one, but the arrest also yielded cocaine and ketamine. I haven't watched any content since Rittenhouse, but apparently the past year or more, he's been on a downward spiral on his strea...
[quote]If you want to experiment and go with a “something for everyone” approach then let them be their own things.[/quote] They can't sustain this, though, because they can't help themselves and spend $200m to $300m on everything. Not just Marvel, but company wide - they cannot produce, promote...
I guess this fits the narrative. Instead of making better movies, they're going with better labels. :boldstrategycotton:...
