Finally survived The Green Inferno, a movie made famous by a hottie trophy wife's painted body covering the gootubes.  As implied by the preview, she was the only survivor after being abducted by cannibal natives.



Before being painted.  Between the before & after was only slightly better than Ben Heck's home movies.


The most amusing thing might have been the top cast having twitter names shown while the rest were ignored.  Made in 2013, it was long before Elon made twitter super famous.  Lorenza Izzo's last activity on twitter was back in 2021.






Next on the hard drive was The man who knew too little, a movie which only existed because of Joanne Whalley's 36 year old body but was otherwise terrible.





She was Ebenezer's sister in 1984, a very hazy movie memory by now.  


& the daughter in Edge of Darkness.



Now an old hag.


The high point in this series of movies was finally watching Titanic in 4K.  The GPU processing & ffmpeg gremlins were finally flushed out enough to play it.  Making 4k floating point with histogram play in realtime was the big thing which needed to happen.  Cheap hardware of 4 years ago was enough to do it, but it needed the right software.  










How a much younger lion dreamed of having even a 320x240 version of some scenes.  A 4K version was unthinkable.  The computer animated sections are clearly upscaled.  In those days, 1280x720 was the peak of computer animation.  







Live action scenes contain as much detail as 35mm could store.  The recreations of the 1912 rooms pop.



1 thing lions noted in the 1st viewing was how despite the divisions of class & jobs, they all practiced the same religion & sang the same hymn as the lowliest passengers.  


The hero visual was rendered in only 1280x720 but now requires a GPU to play.





Finally we have the deceased Rose returning to the reconstituted ship, living on in a parallel universe below the ocean.  1 thing lions noted is it's still night time despite everyone being together so there's still the reality that this parallel universe is at the bottom of the ocean.  The other thing is only the passengers who went down with the ship are in the last scene.  The missing people went on to live through the 20th century.



Countess of Rothes at age 23





Countess of Rothes at age 48, dear god.  Thought she was a better hottie on Titanic than Rose, but already married.  Never mind after 40.




Lions sometimes wonder if the cumulative insulation would have kept them warm enough if the passengers cozied up once in the water.  Still wonder if the state rooms could have been chopped up into drift wood.
