Well, movies are captured and digitised differently these days, but movies, not just television programs, still need to be transferred to home video and streaming.
I believe people say more often than not scanned (original camera negative was scanned at 2K/4K/8K whatever using Data/Tele/cine whatever name brand.

More info than you probably need.  :P

Quote from: Zanza on February 24, 2026, 05:18:15 PMWhat changed compared to the last times you decided against accession talks?

I mean it's not about actually joining yet, right?

It could be that the US/Greenland situation is doing to Iceland what Russia/Ukraine did to Sweden/Finland.

Especially since Trump did say he wanted to take Iceland.  :P

Iberian Spanish fishermen lost their bogeymen status?

I see the fishing lobby is still powerful, so alles in Ordnung:)

Re the Baftas mess. I think more than anything I am dismayed by the incompetence displayed by the BBC. They had 2 hours to edit the broadcast so I can't imagine what went wrong. There have been other incidents, such as that dodgy editing of Trump's speech, that have also slipped the net. I just feel that their standards may be slipping at a time when they are already facing existential threats.

I suppose Bodø-Glimt now officially is the over-performing club in Europe when it comes to budget vs results.

Unbelievable.

Quote from: Valmy on February 24, 2026, 11:21:19 PMOur real news sources are continually being compromised and corrupted.

Also the number of horrible things happening is so often and continuous it is hard to keep track.

Yep

State of the Union Addresses have always been performative bs and I rarely bothered watching them. His, I refuse to even try. I figure if anything *truly* important happened, I could catch it via a news article or Bluesky post or something.
