Evening Sanctum!!
So I'd like to first thank a whole bunch of users who used their spare Nitro boosts to get our server to Level 2!! @Crankcase @Vasara Glyndark @Fenn @PainterInsomniac @Peregrine @sassafras @Ipsie @Otys (sorry if I missed you, Discord makes it hard to search). We've already made some use of this, including soundboard effects for our site DnD games courtesy of @Rimechapel.
Why am I bringing this up?
Because the reason I requested people use their spare boosts is that, at level 2, the server unlocks the ability for HD streaming—glorious 1080p instead of the ancient 720p (translation for non-nerds: You are either reading this on a phone or a screen that is at least 1080p), fixing the longstanding issue that our streams were, frankly, low quality.
To make full use of this, I want to show some visually stunning movies—and (yes, entirely because I listened to a four-part podcast about Lawrence of Arabia), we will be doing historical epics, to show some of the most visually stunning movies ever made.
Currently on the possible list are Lawrence of Arabia (1962), The Northmen (2022), The King (2019), Titanic (1997), Kingdom of Heaven (2005), Master and Commander (2003), 1917 (2019), All Quiet on the Western Front (2022), Waterloo (1970) and some older ones, like Ben Hur and Cleopatra.
I say "possible" list because these movies are, pretty much without exception, extremely long, all over two hours and many well north of three. Which is to say, this might be done in multiple streams if people are interested, potentially with movies grouped by time period or by theme.
Not included: Barry Lyndon (love it, but just watched it), Braveheart (hate it) and Gladiator (No. I refuse).
More suggestions are welcome, as is a general sense of which ones people want to see.
