I couldn’t care less if it was shot on video tape as long as the writing is solid and the story is fresh, interesting, and meaningful.

I’ve got that version too

In an effort to torture future generations, I have carefully restored the original film frame rate and upscaled this hilariously bad 1980’s sci-fi film, made famous by Mystery Science Theater 3000.

Enjoy… or weep!

"fired in self-defense after they were attacked with rocks by dozens of rioting Hamas supporters.” is the real headline, but the AP goes with some guys uncle who literally admitted he didn’t even witness the confrontation.

Only if tax money is being used to pay for it.

And I want politicians to start living in trailer parks, projects, and section 8 housing in the parts of town that their policies are destroying.

I’d gladly pay the extra fuel costs to have a vehicle that’s worth a damn and has actual towing, hauling, and off road capabilities.

A body on frame SUV (like a Ford Excursion) is quite possibly the most utilitarian and swiss army knife like vehicles available. It seats a huge amount of people, has as much space as a cargo van, has the same tow rating as a 3/4 ton truck, and its 4WD with big tires and lots of ground clearance.

They are all interlaced, you just won’t ever see it unless you have a really really old DVD player that isn’t progressive scan or rip the files directly.

I do this quite frequently for a certain youtube channel, you’ll want MakeMKV, Hybrid, and Topaz. If you really want to go all out and make a huge project out of it you can upscale each scene individually and stitch them back together in Premier, ain’t nobody got time for that though.

Rip the disc with MakeMKV.

Then open and deinterlace the file with hybrid, I use the QTGMC filter, if you’re doing film content you should use ivtc. Do any other filtering or denoising in Hybrid, the video really needs to be clean before upscaling. Then export it in a lossless file format with passthrough audio.

Load that file into Topaz and upscale it with the Proteus AI model, I use the manual setting (40,20,10,1,3,-2) with 25% original detail recovery and the grain filter on a low setting to help restore what the filtering removed. Your settings will need to be adjusted for each project. Export again in the highest quality that you can, then load that file into your favorite encoder and compress it down to whatever size/bitrate you want. Topaz’s encoder doesn’t have any configuration options so I use Hybrid to do the final encode.

Citizens of free and democratic societies have a fundamental need to be informed of what is going on in the world and their communities, free of bias or censorship, so they can make informed, reality based decisions and instruct their representatives in government on how to carry out the will of the people. When you start filtering and curating peoples’ perception of reality to fit an agenda or narrative you’re talking away their agency (you tankies wouldn’t understand what that word means), and interfering with their duties as a citizen.

This rule needs an exception for war reporting, and posting evidence of criminal activity or police misconduct.
