I see you're describing a case-by-case basis, but I'm still failing to see how it's case-by-case. /s

Enshitification. Private equity buys up everything, squeezes it for all its worth, forces it to lose all its customers, and then sells off all remaining physical assets (land, buildings).

Look behind the downfall of most big country wide names and you'll see a private equity firm running this same playbook right around the time they started losing quality.

They think they own most of the guns because they've built a whole culture around it. What they don't realize is there are plenty of non-Rs who own guns too as a hobby or protection, but their whole identity isn't "I'm a gun owner" so they don't go around hoopin' and hollarin' that they own guns.

Agreed. I thought the movie was a great addition to the Mad Max films. As others have pointed out, some of the CGI was lacking, but other than that it was extremely enjoyable and well paced.

I don't know about PS2 HDMI, but they do make composite to HDMI converters

I'll be dead. They can have all of that.

We ultimately don't know what is going to survive the digital revolution. I wonder what's going to be lost to time and what historians and archeologists will be able to recover and view centuries or millennia in the future.

Between this and the study of whale language, are we on the precipice of actually being able to have a rudimentary conversation with another intelligent species on the planet?

To the top with you! I see some opinions quoted, but yours is the right answer.

Background CGI for ensuring consistency and immersion is what CGI excels at. Human-based CGI still has the uncanny valley. I loved Furiosa, but you can easily tell when they had CGI humans for stunts.

It's just another tool and directors need to choose the appropriate time to use it and when not to.
