All these images are just me being lazy and snapping pics from the couch. Don't tell my wife, but while she's been out of town I've let the dog up with me (though I did put a towel down, because my wife has a super sniffer and will totally be able to tell if the dog's been on the couch).

Tonight's disaster movie is The Day After Tomorrow (2004), which surprisingly had a 4K, Dolby Vision release.

It's one of my favorite disaster movies, and I'm pumped to be watching it!

Jake Gyllenhaal is one of my favorite actors, and it's always nice to go back and watch some of his older work.

Closing out the night with a second disaster movie: Volcano (1997) and boy does it have some great color grading. It's only in 1080p and doesn't have any of that fancy HDR10 but it's shot on film with practical effects and looks great.

Maybe I should watch Dante's Peak tomorrow and compare...

Watching the 2015 disastor movie San Andreas starring The Rock and sort of loving it. Dumb, action packed, and has good effects.

I don't hate it, but it's no Day After Tomorrow.

I can't think of anything witty to say here, except to say AI has no place in art. Humans definitely should use AI to do all the boring crap, but art? Why would we hand off the essence of what it means to be human to a robot?

Robots are cool, but let's be real here. Create your own art.

The quote I say most often during a session is "You know, he'd be a pretty good warrior if he had a head for numbers."

Anyone else remember this old Order of the Stick?
