In other news: The full rescaling of #SnydersJusticeLeague has reached the dizzying heights of 02:24:40, and I'm about to hibernate #Lulu again for the night.

They Made a Whole New Justice League so We Don’t Have to Look at Superman’s Uncanny Face

So, before it's mentioned, I know I'm daft, but I now have a 16:9 aspect ratio version of #SnydersJusticeLeague It took a couple of days re-transcoding on #Lulu but it's now copied across to #Twinkle along with the original 4:3 version.

The laptop (Twinkle) would have blown up if I'd tried doing it on that, plus the desktop (Lulu) is happy to hibernate and restore with no trouble and no interruption caused to the transcoding.

Or is it the fact that all encounters with Atlanteans underwater are from the ear/viewpoint of #ArthurCurry who being half Atlantean understands the clicks and whistles and therefore hears it in his surface language, and therefore we as the audience never hear the real language (clicks and whistles) in all its glory in #Aquaman.

#SnydersJusticeLeague

Just curious, would be interesting to know.

Ok, third viewing...

Still don't understand why the opportunity wasn't taken to better fit the way Atlanteans behave in this film vs #Aquaman. Really don't understand why we have the whole dolphin-like clicks and whistles thing going on, when they can speak perfectly underwater in Aquaman.

Also apparently every Atlantean encountered by #Steppenwolf is royal since they can breath air when out of water with no trouble, or need for a suit.

Answered my own question...

Meanwhile, 'er indoors who caught the last couple of hours of #SnydersJusticeLeague with me this morning is fine and so far feeling no side-effects of the AstraZeneca vaccine.

Her brother was worrying about her last night since he had such a bad reaction to his vaccination.

NB. No idea which vaccine he had, but given how bad his reaction was when he got COVID, it's not really all that surprising that he had a bad reaction to whichever vaccine he then had.

So, slotted my viewing of #SnydersJusticeLeague into two time slots, two hours last night, and the remainder this morning.

Got to say, yes, possibly overlong, but on the other hand the story is handled well in this version where there were whole pieces of explanation and exposition left out of the 2017 version.

Damn, only after that post do I realise...

'zackreligeous' would have been such a great pun, bugger!

#SnydersJusticeLeague

Wondering if it would be sacreligeous to trim the message from the front of the film...

I'll leave it for the time being.

Turns out after downloading a 480 version there's a 720 one that isn't actually all that much larger. So I've currently got the 480 version on #LuciferMorningstar, with the larger 720 one on #Twinkle along with a backup of the 480 one.

Right, just sorted out my video storage...

$ rm -rf Justice\ League\ \(2017\)/

$ mkdir Justice\ League\ \(2021\)/
