what's better, UHD or HDX? -- nm - amanda Jan 21, 19:09 8
- Do you mean HDR? -- nm - Shaun Jan 21, 19:20 5
  - vudu gives me the choice of UHD or HDX. I want the better one, but I don't know which that is. -- nm - amanda Jan 21, 19:21 4
    - Seems HDX is a Vudu specific thing. If you have 4k capable devices, get UHD, otherwise HDX. -- nm - Shaun Jan 21, 19:28
    - In my opinion, unless you have a 4k tv, HDX is HD (and cheaper). - JaxSean Jan 21, 19:27 2
      - Vudu prices most new releases the same now, so always get UHD when it's an option. -- nm - David Jan 21, 21:38

    - "And at this point, we are all conditioned to react and engage or deny in specific ways. And we all did." -- nm - Strongbad Jan 22, 04:36
    - no. but it attempts to discredit what I saw with my own eyes. The full video or the other angles ive seen, still doesnt change the outright blatant - Jovian Jan 21, 18:33 4
      - lack of empathy and lack of common decency also. Full version. Short version. Same thing. -- nm - Jovian Jan 21, 18:36 3
        
        I think that edit was made for a reason - the full version doesn't change everything; but it adds some complexity that wasn't there. -- (edited) - b. Jan 21, 18:58 2

Re-watching MI:Fallout; I think I might have underestimated it. The plot is far more memorable than #4/5 - Will Hunting Jan 21, 18:09 2
- ... but since you forgot it until you rewatched, maybe not. -- nm - Spawn Jan 21, 18:13 1
  - Oh, I liked the plot a ton -- the rest was hand-wavey.... -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 21, 18:18

- are these kids drunk? or just that assholish? also, I hate the fact that I want to burn all of my red clothes for fear of being perceived as pro trump -- nm - amanda Jan 21, 19:16 3
  - my red kettle is not a MAGA kettle. and I think a combination of assholish and intensely self-righteous. -- nm - mafic Jan 21, 19:21
  - It's the hats. Their purpose is to cover up the brain worms. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 21, 19:20 1
    - they favour unreasonably huge subsidies to the brain slug planet? -- nm - mafic Jan 21, 20:36
