I'm at my wits end, regarding HD-Torrents

I've seeded for a month and my ratio is only 0.13. 4 torrents, my download is nearly at the 50GB limit. I've seen people claim it's "easy" but I don't believe it. I can't find any content to upload, cross-seed is useless, I'm all out of options. That site has everything I've been looking for and I'm close to being banned from it.

Quick discussion on Super 35 and IMAX

source: https://britishcinematographer.co.uk/fabian-wagner-bsc-asc-zack-snyders-justice-league/

So, we all know that shooting in full frame Super 35 is 4:3, roughly close to IMAX's ratio. The intention was for Snyder's Justice League to be shot that way in order to take advantage of the screens without having to shoot it in IMAX 65mm. The movie opened during COVID but it had a few screenings at some IMAX theaters, usually to benefit Snyder's charity. I'd like to hear some experiences on how the movie looked like on these screens but from what I've gathered, especially on this sub, the results were pretty good.

Now, as far as I know, the last movie to be shot in Super 35 and have its ratio opened up without any cropping involved was Apollo 13, from 2.39 to 1.66 (technically Iron Man but that was at a smaller 1.90). That was back when its DMR process was in its infancy so the results weren't all that great. Meanwhile, JL was finished in modern day DI, at 4K, with modern film stock and lenses, so not an easy comparison to make.

This does beg the question: why didn't more filmmakers use Super 35 4-perf to film for IMAX rather than use the 65mm cameras, provided they only care for the large ratio rather than high resolution? Moot point as we now have IMAX cameras that can shoot an entire movie in that ratio but what about before?

Seth MacFarlane's Book of Mormon?

[This is about some animated musical](https://deadline.com/2026/05/peyton-list-sydney-agudong-brave-knight-cannes-1236898359/?fbclid=PAdGRleARwQoxleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA8xMjQwMjQ1NzQyODc0MTQAAadX5FRiO-C9xQb3\_ZI-iKvmUvoTHbfkIuG2Rn1o\_1rN9WiS4hmazR47w5FGFQ\_aem\_kFQQl7zGhV4O7WiBqzEKyA) but what caught my attention was the mention of an upcoming stage musical produced by MacFarlane's production company. Much like Trey Parker, MacFarlane's a huge theatre nerd so I could see this succeeding.

Rachel Brosnahan's look during the press tour was a reference to how Olive Oyl was once Lois Lane in a Popeye cartoon.

Granted, Oyl wasn't wearing her trademark red-and-black dress in that toon but both her and Lane are Fleischer staples.

She had that 3 movie streak back in 2014 where she was portraying characters she had no business playing: That Awkward Moment, A Long Way Down, and Need for Speed. Those were the first things I've seen her in and I thought she was a bad actress. But then I got to see her in I Know This Much Is True, The Father, and I was surprised at how much depth and range she had, despite how small those roles were. But then I saw her in Green Room and she was miscast there, too. It seems she's better suited for ensemble roles and not much of a leading one.

I think she's a fine actress but ultimately a very limited one. But hey, so many actors are, when you think about it.

She may have not garnered a Tony nom but her performance was one of the highlights of Becky Shaw.

The episode was released during S3, back when Roger was a lovable jerk. He had enough of a sensitive side for us to care about him as a character.

Nowadays, he's one of the most despicable cartoon characters airing now. You tried to make this now, the responses wouldn't be "why'd they do this to Roger?"; it'd be "why'd they go too easy on him?".

I've been a member for a few days now and my ratio is currently at 0.06. Apparently, I need it to go up to 0.70 so I can download without having to be limited to 50 GB. I currently downloaded up to 42 GB.

I have 5 active seeding torrents, with a total size of 80.35.

I've got 11 bonus points. I seem to need 40 so I can buy upload credit. Will that boost my ratio?

I've used cross-seed and it's saying I'm doing everything correctly (I can send a pic if necessary) but I'm not sure if it's actually working.

Any advice?

• Both are Oscar winners for Animated Feature.

• Fantastical films centering on a minor protagonist from a large Latino multi-generational household

• Said protagonist having to struggle with not fitting the confirmities set by their families' respective matriarchs and eventually meets the disgraced relative of their family. Both also have their names begin with "Mi" and end with "el".

• Both use music as a major component of the story, as well as featuring generational trauma as a major theme.

• Both feature music from a Broadway icon, who's already made music for Disney before.

But how they contrast:

• Coco is a story that features diegetic music from Pixar, while Encanto's a traditional musical from Disney.

• Both are dramedies but Coco is on a larger scale and takes place mostly in the land of the dead, deals with Mexican culture, while Encanto takes places mostly in a house, set in the land of the living, deals with Colombian culture.

• Miguel's a young boy who's figuratively talent compared to his regular family, while Mirabel's a regular teen girl who lives with a literally talented family. Miguel sets out to redeem a single person, Hector, while Mirabel sets out to redeem her whole family. Initially, Miguel wanted to get out of his family's conformities while Mirabel wanted to fit in to her own family's conformities. One doesn't wear glasses while one does wear them.

• Coco is ultimately about remembering the past while Encanto is about learning to let go.

• Coco mostly placed focus on Miguel, Hector, Imelda, and Coco, with the rest of the relatives being pushed aside. Encanto puts the spotlight on the entire Madrigal family.

• The Lopezes won their 2nd Oscar for their song. Lin Manuel Miranda lost yet again.
