As with “Hustlers,” New York City provides the backdrop of affluence and competitive instincts that drive wayward characters to set themselves up to fail. It’s only a matter of time before the entire ludicrous plan comes crashing down. That’s where Howard (Adam Sandler at his agitated best) runs a perilous operation at the center of the Safdie brothers’ riveting thriller “ Uncut Gems.” Howard’s pileup of schemes finds him attempting to sell a rare jewel to Celtics player Kevin Garnett while pawning off items to bet on an upcoming game. ![]() On the other hand, maybe it’s a jewelry store. Asked to explain herself when a probing journalist (Julia Stiles) confronts her, Ramona puts the entire narrative in the broader context it deserves: “This whole country is a strip club.” By the time that blunt assessment has arrived, “Hustlers” has earned it. The true story of New York strippers who drugged and robbed the men they drew into their web, the movie offers a precise look at how an eager young woman like Dawn (Constance Wu) can become sufficiently despondent to join forces with someone like Ramona (a fierce Jennifer Lopez) in a dangerous scheme that inevitably catches the attention of the law. Lorene Scafaria’s explosive “ Hustlers” encapsulates the financial desperation that fuels reckless schemes. It’s the anti-“Joker,” though both movies provide a window into the challenges of confronting fanatical views while staying sane.Īmerica’s not just arguing itself into a hole it’s grasping to survive economic uncertainty, as it reels from the recession a decade ago and braces for the prospect of another around the corner. By relegating a sinister ideology to silly punchlines, it falls short of interrogating the disturbing manner in which real people come to harbor dangerous thoughts. However, the movie inadvertently illustrates the vanity of that mission. ![]() Waititi made a well-intentioned attempt to answer the resurgence of bigotry and hate groups around the world with a charming look at what it takes to break free of those views. That debate has no clean solution, but it’s a more sophisticated provocation than “Jojo Rabbit,” Taika Waititi’s so-called “anti-hate satire” about a confused Nazi child in WWII-era Germany who dreams up Hitler as his imaginary friend. “Joker” will elicit many compelling arguments about the morality of hovering inside its lead character’s perspective, even pitying his maniacal state. “It’s enough to make you go crazy.” The very existence of a stern, urgent comic-book movie generating attention this season around the plight of a bad guy speaks volumes about these upside-down times, when real-life villains and crude instigators seem more emboldened than ever to step into the spotlight. “Everybody’s awful these days,” Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck tells his shrink. Despite the ‘70s backdrop, it’s no stretch to argue that “Joker” extrapolates the genesis of internet trolls from the inside out. Being the butt of jokes on local television turns him into a seething, anarchic maniac who delights at causing chaos. Yet rather than becoming the dapper comedian of his fantasies, the depressed clown becomes an accidental viral celebrity after his standup routine goes awry. ![]() ![]() With a spindly Joaquin Phoenix at its center, Phillips crafts a vivid exploration of the way one man goes mad through his relationship to television and desire for fame.

![]() I remember trying out several different codecs, but I will try again. I didn't know why they were insisting on going through Resolve. It would be much easier (and probably better) to pass it over and let the Online crew take care of the rest. Apparently, my bosses know there is a Avid-to-Baselight workflow, BUT they want me to do the conform on my end to save money. Figured I could send over a bin with my raw media, and let the Baselight pros at the Online house work their magic. And upon finding this out yesterday, I did a little happy dance, and thought my problems were solved. PROJECT DEVELOPMENTS: Yes, there is an Avid/Baselight workflow. Whenever I reference C300 in my post, I'm talking about the Mark II. The metadata says XF-AVC Intra RGB444, for what it's worth. The lowest you can do is long-GOP in 10bit, with a smaller data rate at 1920 x 1080. RESEARCH DEVELOPMENTS: C300MKII doesn't even have the option of 8bit anymore. ![]() Questions: Does this sound like a good plan? Any glaring holes or mistakes? Should I try to conform in 4k, since some of my footage is 4k, or would that be a good time to bring everything down to HD? I'd say our footage is going to be maybe 1/3 C300, maybe 1/3 4k Alexa, and the rest is just mixed HD files. Has anyone done this before? I've only used Resolve to re-wrap clips for Offline, so I'll be spending the next week or so watching tutorials, learning the software. We are trying to preserve the raw camera codec rather than using Avid to transcode, as it just seems that C300 and Avid don't play well together. The plan is to link the final sequence back to my raw, full resolution clips, pass the sequence into Resolve, and conform the clips to an AAF that I can send out to a Baselight system. The team is trying to fix the issue this time around. We had no choice but to send out the finished product, banding and all. We ended up transcoding all the C300 shots to 1:1 MXF, but STILL we had banding. The Colorist and several producers were unhappy with the C300 color banding that showed up after transcode, no matter how high we went with resolution. On our last show, we used a similar workflow, but we color corrected in Avid. It's a little annoying to have to switch back and forth, but we make it work. We have to do all our exports in MC 7 because the Sapphire effects only work on that version. We pretty much use MC 8 to AMA link the C300 clips, transcode them, and then switch back to MC 7. We have Avid MC 8 because the C300 Mk II footage is NOT compatible with any earlier versions of Avid. We're working with footage from the Arri Alexa (4k and HD), and C300 Mk II (HD), as well as a DJI Osmo drone (5k), and a few other cameras. The Editors and Producers use Avid MC 7 for the offline edit. ![]() One drive is Avid MC 7 with Sapphire 7 licenses. Hi friends!

![]() That may mean that your connecting time has been reduced by 25 minutes. ![]() If you are in the back of a plane, it may take another 10 minutes to get out of it. Remember this DOT fact about on-time statistics: When airlines arrive “on-time,” they may actually be 15 minutes late. All other verbiage used by airlines is superfluous. According to DOT on-time statistics, until a plane reaches 15+ minutes after scheduled arrival, it is not considered late by DOT. On-Time, according to DOT regulations, means within 15 minutes of scheduled arrival. It bends the reality of connection times. The DOT On-Time rule is an April Fools joke. So, Lesson 1 is for any on-time records, go to the airline sites, not online travel agents. A closer look at the DOT rule showed me that airlines are required to publish the data while travel agents have no such mandate. However, the online travel agents did not publish the data at least no data that I could find. But where? That was the question.Īfter a bit of sleuthing, I found that airline websites published the data (though not terribly intuitive to find). I knew that there was a regulation to require on-time statistics be published on websites. Heck, Travelers United helped write those rules together with the Department of Transportation (DOT). I knew that the on-time statistics information was on airline websites and I thought it was also disclosed on online travel agency sites like Expedia, Travelocity, Priceline, etc. However, at the last minute, those solutions are not always helpful. When schedules change dramatically, passengers can request full refunds. It seems that the airlines are in the midst of a meltdown when it comes to maintaining their schedules. Today, these numbers are more important than ever and less reliable. Now we can learn about how a passenger can even know what the record for on-time arrival might be and where that information can be found. ![]() Many also hope that checked baggage makes the connection as well. Travelers use arrival times in order to plan for enough time to get to connecting flights. On-time statistics are important for travelers. The Cirium Report highlights that Go First has performed consistently from Sep 2018 to Nov 2019, with an average OTP of 76.94 percent in 2019.Airline on-time statistics are posted on airline websites, but they are not easy to find.

Cirium, a travel industry and data analytics company is the world’s leading authority when it comes to analysing airline on-time performance.

There is no incongruity in this strange plane of existence, where we as spectators are just as alien as the seaweed is on the mountaintop. In a world where the setting and scene invoke the epic and futurist style of Mobius, meanwhile, its inhabitants remain quirky curmudgeons far more native to the pen of Tove Jansson, you are but a humble alga on mechanical legs. Immediately I became curious, and the intriguing screenshots and positive reviews bestowed on the Steam page did little to curtail my interest, so naturally I had to explore this newfound creation and learn of the lone Seaweed’s journey to return home, and what an adventure it turned out to be. Suddenly a new game by the maestro appeared on Steam: “Slice of Sea”, a completely new and independent story and with a price tag that matched any regular indie game, two completely unprecedented features. Skutnik, however, recently one new release was to drastically change this vista. ![]() Now a relic from a time which seemed never to settle, it seems like the world is already so very different from what it was back then. While the acceleration of trends and fads seemed ever to increase in the age of digital content, the consistent release of Submachine games throughout the ensuing decade was always a pleasant surprise until the series concluded in 2015. After the original installment released for free in 2005 as a simple locked-room style puzzle game, the series was quick to grow a cult and a steady supply of expansive but equally free sequels followed, proving the dedication and skill of Mat remained singular in an ever-expanding market. Sole creator of the Submachine series, his games were quick to carve a niche in a time when the algorithm had yet to dominate our taste, and people looking for new adventures and clever puzzles were ever so grateful. Mateusz Skutnik might not be a name that is familiar to many, however, it is one which shadow towers over the early days of online flash games. Review of the adventure game Slice of Sea by Mateusz Skutnik, released for the PC in November 2021. ![]() You can paste items in the same order that you copy them, out of order, one by one, or all at once.

If you're looking for a quiet city by the sea, Cuxhaven becomes a much more interesting choice. If you're looking for action and parties, it's probably not the right destination.
