Uncommon Opinions

Re: Uncommon Opinions

I know this has been said countless times throughout history, but I just don't see how it can get much better.

I mean, 1080p on a high end TV, I just don't see how much sharper it can really get.

It depends on how big your TV is and what you're watching. But for brand-new content that is specifically designed to show off 4K, it can be amazing. I saw a demo reel for some 4K footage, and I wasn't expecting it to be much better, but it was actually noticeably sharper. Hard to explain, but there was a shot of Manhattan and FDR drive from across the river in Brooklyn (the skyline shot everyone's seen a million times) at night, and not only could you see the headlights of all the cars individually, but you could see the individual cars as they were driving on FDR, even though they were each only like 1-cm on the screen. I'm sure there will be no reason to have a 4k TV for years to come, but when it's good, it's awesome...

As far as uncommon opinions, mine is that when evaluating the greatness of an individual player in a team sport (especially for a sport like football), championships mean nothing. When evaluating teams, championships are basically the sole criterion. But for individuals - absolutely nothing.

It's already here: streaming.

I'm okay with that since I won't have to upgrade my discs.

This is the future (didn't mean to sound like a hippie there). When Internet speeds become fast for everyone while not costing a butt load, you should be able to get your Blu-ray via a streaming service with no quality lost, and instantly.

The only reason I prefer Blu-ray's now is because their quality is slightly superior. In the near future, streaming will be the same, if not better, than Blu-ray's lossless quality. This topic kind of goes hand in hand with disc vs. download video games.

I just don't get how you can not believe in aliens.

We are not so special that in the entire universe, we're the only planet that has life on it. Impossible.

(Now, if you solely mean aliens that have been to Earth, that's an understandable opinion)

Yes, the parentheses part. All these "alien abductions" or "visitations" always sound the same: aliens with big heads, no mouths, big black eyes, blah blah...

Same with UFO's. (I used to listen to Art Bell and George Nory and laugh...)

And I explained in another post some time ago about ghosts and such: I always feel there's a logical explanation behind weird happenings and things that go bump in the night..

I'm with you and usually say there's some kind of logical explanation, but the Portal to Hell thread has me dumbfounded. I can't think of a logical way to explain those occurrences.

I've always believed in aliens, but I've gone back and forth on ghosts/demons/supernatural things

Re: Uncommon Opinions

Yeah I read that thread too. Unfortunately, without unedited video and pics, I don't believe it.

I mean, I can spin tales here about how my house lights are flickering, my dog is speaking with a devil voice, etc. but with no proof would y'all believe me? Lol

Yeah I can understand that. It has more merit with me just because there are police officers and government workers attesting to it as well, but it all very well could be fake.

What is the Portal to Hell thread?

You have to remember, too. There are some people that could have probably seen it for themselves and still refuse to believe it was real.

The funny thing is that Gary, IN is probably worse than Hell so I guess it can be considered a vacation.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

I think this year's halftime show was the best to date.

Tapatalk on Samsung Note II

Not uncommon. It set a new record for highest rated halftime show.

Now I had no desire to watch. That may be uncommon..

Coca-Cola should only be served as a fountain drink, over ice in a styrofoam cup. Anything less is uncivilized.

This is my main problem with all superhero movies. I like everything up to the point where the character becomes a superhero then starts fighting and doing superhero things.
