Annie awards were tonight.

Spider-verse won, err, pretty much everything.

Basically it won all seven awards it was up for.

Best Animated exists specifically for cases like this, so the Oscars don't have to acknowledge animated movies that deserve Best Picture.

I watched Spider-Verse yesterday. It was great, and I noticed something about someone's character design that no one has brought up.

This movie was absolutely fantastic and its visual style was amazing but the one detail in its character design I can't stop grinning about is Doc Oc's hair bun giving her the silhouette like an actual octopus.

I finally saw this today. Never really cared about superhero stuff but everyone raving about the animation sucked me in. Turns out it's maybe the greatest visual experience I've ever had. Anyway that's my book report.

its really that good. its been awhile since I've gone to the theater for multiple viewings of the same film.

SirSamVimes posted:

yeah I know, but its better than not having it recognized at all, which is what would happen if not for the animation category. sadly.

in a tangentially related note--Incredibles 2 shows up on my Apple TV under action movies, not kids and family. and like, I know its brad bird that pushed for that probably--and by in large I agree with him that animation is a medium not a genre--but ALL the other animated movies (including The Incredibles) is under Kids & Family. c'mon man.

I hope Spider-Verse wins the Oscar. It just has to.

iTunes is showing that this will be available digitally Feb 26, and Amazon shows March 19th for discs. Didn’t expect it to be released so soon, but looking forward to watching it again.

I don't have (and can't really afford) a 4K TV but Spider-Verse might push me over the edge.

I bought a Blu-Ray player just for Scott Pilgrim.

No digital content provider is gonna compare directly with the Blu-Ray, the bitrate just isn't there (and most people's Internet isn't either).

Maybe buy a PS4 Pro so the expense feels better ($400 for a console and 4k Blu-ray player feels better to me than $250 for just a player). Plus then you can play the Spider-Man game too!The Spider-Man game is great but it doesn't have 4K Blu-ray support which makes no sense to me but whatever.

Maybe not comparable to a physical disc, but if you have the internet connection to handle it, 4k streaming is still noticeably better than 1080p. The main thing to be careful of is that a lot of Amazon 4k stuff doesn't have HDR, which for me is a dealbreaker. VUDU is better, they typically have HDR and even sometimes Dolby Vision available for a lot of their 4k rentals.

Oh absolutely! But the question was if there was a streaming service that offered a 4K stream comparable to a disc and the answer is not really.

Yeah it seems a little ridiculous to me, but oh well. I'm glad someone mentioned Amazon doesn't always have HDR cause I had that pre-ordered. I canceled that poo poo. Maybe I'll figure something else out.

I'm not sure about "true" HDR or whatever, I just know that Amazon is very up front that most of their 4k streaming content straight-up doesn't have HDR at all.
