Thank you for the correction, I completely forgot that it didn't play UHD, just output 4K video. Edited my comment.

PS4 pro shouldn't be able to read UHD BDs; the cheapest option is Xbox One S.

I used my Xbox one x, works great for blu ray.

If you're in the market for one, check Marketplace, Craigslist, eBay, etc for used Xbox One X or PS4 Pro One S consoles, they've gotten pretty cheap and play UHD blu-rays. You can even get media remotes for them and have almost the same experience as a regular player. If you already have one of these or an Xbox Series X or PS5 disk edition, congrats! You've got a 4K blu-ray player.

I don't buy movies on iTunes/Apple TV (name change but most people know the older name) unless it's 4K and $5 or less. Setting aside the "it's just a long-term rental", if physical media wants me to pay over twice as much for the disc (also setting aside its higher bitrate and removal of the "rental" threat), they aren't winning me over by raising the price of the player.

Not when the other source of video vying for my attention is torrents over a VPN. I could pay Apple $5 for a 4K movie or I can get it for free... or I can pay $20 for a movie and pay what for the player? And it won't play on my iPhone, either? Huh?

I mean, for a guy with so much tech, I don't need a 4K Blu-ray player, I need a 4K Blu-ray external drive for my Mac so I can just put the MKV on Plex. Still, those aren't cheap either.

Bout time, jellyfin released this months ago

"Based on the animated series created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko", as in, were neither involved?

This was the most rushed storyline in a film i think i have ever seen, and just glosses over major details like they dont even matter. Its as if someone had written an entire season of ATLA and compressed it into an hour and a half so tiktokers could follow without loosing interest.

They refused a theatrical run, the hosers.

And it’s more like young adult Aang. If you’re an Avatar fan, you will be very pleased.

What ?!? This is how I learn there is an animated movie about adult Aang !

Glad to see it. I've been very frustrated with Netflix refusing to release physical media for many of their properties.

I'm on my phone, usually I browse with firefox and an ad blocker but I just opened this in my lemmy app.

Even with uBlock Origin?

Transformers in 4k is awesome, but I'll wait for a price drop. $50 feels too steep.

Frustrating to get an ad popup over the list making it unreadable, with no obvious way to dismiss it.

Sites behave like this and then get mad about ad blockers.

Got your point but damn.. Didn't except they'd even have a plaque 😄

The current chairman of the Japanese mafia is Kenichi Shinoda

There main headquarters are in Koba, some of their offices are labeled with a plaque.

The point is that it does not matter that everyone knows they did the crime in legal court, what counts is that you can prove it. Which is almost never the case.

They got Al Capone on tax evasion, cause thats what they could prove.

Crime bosses act with impunity, they didn’t murder that person, some lowly criminals did. You cant get a warrant to search their property for some reason and when you do the place appears to be unnaturally clean because the right people are in their pocket.

Japanese police could arrest the chairman of the Yakuza right now, lower level crime will spike from the chaos (because the yakuza employs them for less visible bigger crime) till someone else will take the chairman’s place and nothing will be different.

I used to love watching Regular show when it came out as a kid, might be the perfect excuse to catch up all on it now

Looking forward to putting it on my shelf

Can't wait to pirate them!

Come on, grab your friends!

What a stacked week! The highlights for me are:

• Project Hail Mary
• Barbarian
• The Furious

I saw Hokum.a the theatre as my friend highly recommended it but it just didn't hit the mark for.me, but great for anyone who enjoyed it or is into that brand of horror.

I was pleasantly surprised by Sheep Detectives and am.looking forward to picking it up on Blu-ray.

KDH ! Pumped

Frankly my dear, I love you, let's remarry
