Basically, whenever you see a film in imax and it utilizes the whole screen, they used the special cameras to film that. Also there is a quote in the article that explains its pretty well.
“Those movies that were shot with our film cameras receive that kind of nomenclature. Those are different than the ‘Filmed for Imax’ movies, which are all shot with digital cameras. However, a lot of the same kind of process takes place in the making of the movie when they’re shooting with our film cameras,” Markoe said. “Those movies still do a lot of testing and reviews, and filmmakers work very closely with us throughout the entire production, since it’s our camera on set, whereas the ‘Filmed for Imax’ program is using certified digital cameras that are not necessarily unique to us.”

I have been playing Schedule 1 recently and loving it. It's gameplay was described as "playing breaking bad" to me by a friend. As that is one of my favorite shows, I felt I really wanted to give it a try.
I can now confirm that description is very accurate, but doesnt cover the full extent of why I like it. I dont know about later in the game, but the early game has you managing your weed growing operation, slowly expanding the customers you have and the amount of product your can grow/how its packaged. The game does a great job of slowly unlocking the different elements and tools so none of it feels too overwhelming. The aesthetic made me interested in the game, but the chill somewhat guided zen gameplay has got me really into booting it up among my hundreds of backlogged games, films and TV. This zen environment created by somewhat casually managing your operation is what I imagine people have really liked about games like Stardew Valley. The difference from those types of games (as I have tried to get into Stardew Valley before and wasn't too keen on it) is that Schedule 1 seems to more clearly give you goals to work towards. There is always a big "main quest" goal to work towards and your small tasks slowly build into bigger tasks that help you get there.

Comment on Ryan Coogler’s ‘Sinners’ is the first Oscar movie of 2025 in ~movies
laughface LinkSinners is currently my favorite film I've seen this year and I went to it twice in Imax. I hope it wins some awards as I think it really deserves a lot of them.Sinners is currently my favorite film I've seen this year and I went to it twice in Imax.

My guilty pleasure AI usage is for one off very specific memes. Stuff like asking my friend if he wants to car pool to the event by sending them a picture of a car in a pool. I have limited how much I use it though as I don't like the tech due to it thieving everything from everyone to be trained and the energy usage associated with it.
