Here's a good one: Phantom Menace Theatrical versus 4K release.
Does the digital noise reduction hammer the details, especially in faces? Is the new color shift to blue better? You decide
virtualbri, @tptigger Yeah.
inkican, @virtualbri A shinier turd is still a turd.
abbycrofton, ARTS ALERT!!!
I have just discovered that the Baltimore Rock Opera Society exists, its current show is A Computer That Loves: And Why Not To Build One, "a original universe-spanning sci-fi rock opera epic with a big (and heavy) heart."
And that they are livestreaming the May 31 show!

RJB_Mallacore, New starship work in progress.
For a long time I have been a fan of the Corvette design from the game Independence War (I-War) box art. I finally decided to do a ship inspired by that design.
Enjoy.
nyrath, Great starship!
As a matter of historical interest (which has zero bearing on your design) the I-War ship has a circular profile because the outer edge is a circular particle accelerator feeding the particle beam weapon.
Feel free to totally ignore my compulsive pedantry
RJB_Mallacore, @nyrath Definitely good to know. It's been years since I played.
Still doesn't take away it gives the ship a very cool profile. 😎

Francis Ford Coppola believes that "Megalopolis" detractors have conspired against him because the film "doesn't play by Hollywood's current rules."
SkylarkDuquesne, Quick plug for my song!
Skylark Duquesne, representing Atlantis, The Last Planet [ATLA], presents "Postmarked The Stars", a love letter from outer space to my dear wife, Elizabeth. It's really cute singer-songwriter stuff, with a healthy nerdiness and a reference to the classic #scifi novel by Andre Norton. Let me know if you like it!
Nonya_Bidniss, This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar & Max Gladstone seems to be a popular #scifi book lately so I've been working my way through it but tbh so far it's pretty awful. I hope it gets better as I'm tempted to stop. #bookstodon
neurovagrant, @Nonya_Bidniss I loved Time War, but it's definitely not for everyone. Worth seeing through, though, given how brief it is.
RJB_Mallacore, Some Babylon 5 art to start your morning.
Enjoy.

sarahijackson, Yay! My story "Down in the Wreck of The Promise" has been reprinted in All Worlds Wayfarer and is available to read online for a short time.
It's one of my personal favourites; a science fantasy story about community, and what to do with your ghosts.

Years after George Costanza and Jerry Seinfeld sat at Monk's debating what Tony Stark wore underneath his armor, Marvel finally revealed the answer: boxers with Iron Man's face on them....

Old_IT_geek, @SFRuminations The berserker series has yet to be turned into a Hollywood movie or TV series. But it should!
iamgerardthomas, Watched it for the umpteenth time last night. 42 years old and as long as you're not watching the original theatrical release, it's a near perfect film. A pure masterclass.
pixel, @iamgerardthomas i couldn’t agree more
The finders of the first model of the USS Enterprise have filed a lawsuit after working with Heritage Auctions to sell it to Rod Roddenberry.
thisnorthernboy, Scrapper Ship. Work in progress.
ghosttie, @thisnorthernboy kind of looks like Lego to me, I think because of the grating on top and the glowy antenna things on the sides
