After the #SlidersRewatch last night, I keep noticing the quality of the Roku video keeps getting worse. It's like they continually run Sliders off of VHS tapes.

As I predicted, NBCUniversal has been BRUTALLY FINED $250 (first-time offense) for tree trimming.

My intellect can't grasp that article nor can my attention span with dozens of graphs.

I found this interesting graph though this morning. It compares how Streaming vs TV use has changed since 2015.

For screenwriting it's probably going to take a little while longer than the rest, but not by much. That's just my opinion. We all know these multi-million dollar companies hold their cards back more than we know like the government. There's many different language models out there. Some better some worse. People have even exploited it to bypass certain code to ask it how to create bombs, etc. to test their limits. I've followed it for a while and it's advancing incredibly rapid.

Everyone probably knows these but thought I'd post these videos just in case. Imagine the capabilities they have hidden right now. They always have and always will have a far advanced version, and label it national security.

These are all obviously done by the public models
There's an old video (earlier this year) of Will Smith hilariously eating spaghetti:

Now there's a more advanced video of KFC.

Also there's new Johnny Cash music:

Photos of Biden building sand castles with Putin:

These are the most disturbing

I guess it's over for Harrison Ford then.

I can see their complaints concerning their digitalized scanned bodies/likenesses. Even if they were paid a huge one-time lump sum of money, for most people it wouldn't be worth it. It could be used for anything under the sun, sexually, politically, you name it. There should be laws set it place for this, but I guess if you have a lifetime contract up front, it won't matter.

It's impressive what Tom Cruise does in his movies. He pretty much does all of his stunts even putting his life in his own hands but who needs $100 million dollars? It's possible he donates a lot of it to charity, etc. But still we're talking $100 million and this is only 1, just 1 of his movies. Should he receive top dollar for the insane amount of work? Yeah. But I'd agree with Dillner that money could be spread over to lower paid people.

But you should earn what you work for and not be given a hand out for shoddy work either. These executives and actors being paid millions year after year is out of hand and it's not just in Hollywood. It's in your big box businesses as well. There shouldn't be a law against getting paid millions after millions. It should be a moral law to know and act upon wages realizing that there's other people out there that are struggling immensely in life due to no regard of their own.

I've seen nothing more magnificent in my life.

2012 for the individual ones. The best set in my opinion is the Complete series released in 2014. It's the second one on the page: https://slidecage.com/dvd/complete/. Mainly because it's just packaged way better. It has all the extras that came with the others. If you can find one they quite expensive now.

The Mill Creek edition is garbage as far as video quality. The one thing it has going for it is that the episodes are in the right order. I've got a screenshot comparison between it and the Universal releases: https://slidecage.com/dvd/complete/. I still truly believe Sliders was shot on film every last bit. Edited on video tape for special effects, quite likely. I've been watching the original MacGyver and I've noticed there's some parts every now and then that aren't in HD. What that's about I don't know, perhaps they lost part of the original film or there's too much deterioration, but you would think they'd use AI.

Lets just peacefully protest on the sidewalk outside Universal. It pains me to see new tv shows that no one wants to see being produced, and fans want HD versions of classics. That being said, looking back at other shows I like, I feel like we have a better chance than we think. Sliders is one of those that is still on the radar barely, but it isn't completely forgotten like others. People literally mention Sliders everyday on Twitter. I keep tabs on it using Tweetdeck. Really now is the time for Universal to take action for HD. People keep saying over and over how it relates to current events.

Uncontrolled seizures and others stuff.

I get to it whenever I can, a lot of times I don't feel up for it due to my health. Here's a link for how it's done:
slidecage.com/rewatch

The King is Back is pretty good to unwind with. The Chasm honestly is quite nice for that as well. Several of the movie ripoffs are too. They're just so absurd, with a subtle campy comedy movie undertone.

I have the Gigapixel AI (Photo) version. The latest update has improved somewhat nicely.

I think the farther we go out the more studios will refuse putting TV/Movie video on blu-ray and even 4K or 8K discs. In my opinion, they want control over their media by using nothing but streaming services. Essentially we will have nothing in our hands physically. I'm not opposed to digital video/streaming at all. But I can see where it can take a bad turn for a studio to throw their movie in a 'vault' never to be seen again. I think Disney had done that with some of their VHS/DVDs in the past. Maybe they're still doing it too. That's why on Twitter, I had been urging people to buy what they love on physical media. There's bootlegs/file hosting services but that can be turned off with a switch too. I'm sure everyone remembers KimDotCom's fiasco.

Yeah hotels are generic. You could do the Alternateville Horror episode. You could incorporate maggies head in ice and Remmy shaving or blue beer, etc.

I have several season 3 locations as well nearly 20, but I've still been working on them.

I'm probably going to substitute the black charcoal tea with food coloring that's free of artificial dyes. From my research that's what other mixologists have used. Activated charcoal, can possibly interact with medications and apparently it's tasteless. Basically it's a detox. But yeah i'm going with alcohol free too. I've got my stuff on order, I'll try to post a photo when I've mixed one up.

It's taken hundreds of dollars to acquire them. Plus each one took hours to restore. The 4800dpi scan was plenty. I think the 2x I just done couldn't pull any more detail whatsoever. However, if you need a bigger print have at it. But a 4800dpi is plenty for like a 16x20.

I know, I was just merely saying how impressive it was. Just a play with words.

All those systems are POW proof of work. Which consumes and incredible amount of energy. The majority of blockchains will move to a POS proof of stake system. It removes 99% of the power vs POW. However crypto being used as a steady payment system is a joke. The 'coins' or 'tokens' are basically owned by 1% or 2% of the population. It is leaving everyone else out. It has to be distributed evenly and fairly. Most cryptos are just useless 'stocks' that have little to no use that piggy back on Ethereum and Bitcoin which are dinosaurs. I believe certain proof of work systems will have some type real use in the future.

Thanks ireactions.

Thank you ireactions!

Has anyone noticed the Sliders theme on Love Gods via Peacock. Acts like its playing on 1.25x

Yeah I'm watching Greatfellas on WatchComet right now. As bad it is, it makes the Peacock version look remastered in HD.

Do you know if they upscaled the CGI on Quantum Leap or was the CGI originally done on film?

This most recent one is quite impressive.

Let us know how the German version compares to Universal. Not really related to Sliders but I've noticed countries outside of the US get blu ray versions before the United States. Never understood that.
