Just saw this a couple months ago in theater projected at 70mm, freakin masterpiece. I need to watch it a couple more times just to pay attention to all of the details, watch the stories of each background character.

Welcome! Have fun building a setup that sounds good to you (doesn’t need to be perfect) and a cozy listening space.

I forget where I read it, but apparently this is being pushed to replace or augment court stenography. Apparently, there is more demand for court recorders than stenographers to fulfill (not sure if this is true, but that’s the claim), so this option is being proposed as the AI dictation requires less training than stenography.

Once you’re aware of the concept of Chekhov’s gun, you start to instinctively spot devices that are meant to be called back later in the script and subconsciously anticipate them, making it a Pavlov-Chekhov gun.

But if the initial introduction of the Pavlov-Chekhov gun is too forced/obvious, you might feel compelled to turn off such a predictable movie before the device is recalled and you’ll never know if it was actually brought back. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn’t, maybe it exists in an unobserved quantum state… a Schrödinger-Pavlov-Chekhov gun.

I also like the idea of converting, but the quotes I got are from a few years ago. I should probably check again and see if there are new kit options. On top of the kit cost is finding a local shop that can handle the conversion. I'll keep exploring that route.

An ancient Wacom Intuos 3. Still works pretty well... the only thing I haven't figured out yet is how to map the 2 touch slider pads to something like opacity.
