First new episode of Arrested Development is too preoccupied with playing catch-up to be all that great. Hope the rest improves.

I hated letterboxing too as a kid but in my defense I was too young and stupid to know any better. I didn't even realize they cut off parts of the screen, ugh.

Iron Crowned posted:I'm not a letterbox hater, but in the VHS era, most TVs just weren't that big. Cropping and pan/scan, allowed you to see the picture better than letter boxing. Oh, I forgot we were talking about VHS. Yeah, I can see how that might be better in that situation.

Lurdiak posted:Letterboxing sucked rear end because most people had pretty small CRT tvs back then and the extra compression made really hard to see anything, especially if the movie had a ridiculously wide aspect ratio like Spartacus. Sure, directors flipped their poo poo about pan and scan because it messed with every decision they made about blocking and framing, but there was really no perfect solution. The idea of a movie seen at home even comparing to the theater experience is a very new one. Yeah I didn't realize we were talking about the VHS era at the time.

I don't think I'll ever watch 13 Reasons Why, I just can't get past the premise, which is both too bleak for my tastes and honestly kind of offensive.

I got my dad to start watching Fargo before the second season aired and he will not stop bugging me about a fourth season. If only he'd take my other recommendations and loving watch The Good Place, goddammit.

The only thing I'm not really feeling at all this season is Dolores' story. It feels kind of one-note.

zoux posted:Gas lighting? You don't know what Gaslighting is? It comes from the play Gaslight, where (to my recollection) a woman has her perception of reality broken down by her abusive husband when he starts denying her memory of events constantly. It's a form of abuse that basically boils down to "denying something that both parties know to be true to make the abused question their sanity/memory/etc."

Escobarbarian posted:Been watching Friends and oh my god, I can’t believe Ross and Rachel broke up! Do you guys think they really were on a break or not? I probably won't even watch the second season of Legion and don't care about spoilers for it but this is the general chat thread, dude. People come in here not expecting (honestly still pretty recent) spoilers. You're being a dick about this.

STAC Goat posted:Its weird because on one level I think you could argue that Key has had the more high profile career where people would actually recognize him while Peele has objectively been more successful but I still sometimes accidently confuse him with Jeffrey Wright. I didn't watch it, but I did hear that. I think it's getting a second season though, so I thought it worth mentioning.

LORD OF BOOTY posted:Super goes out of its way to keep continuity with the epilogue, aside from introducing new stuff the epilogue didn't mention. I think what he's getting at is that Super absolutely fucks the powerscale in a way that the epilogue is fundamentally incapable of acknowledging.

That just makes me remember one of my favorite episodes of Community, the first fake clip show episode, which ended up actually being one of the most expensive and difficult episodes of that season production-wise.

It's the same showrunner, but most people seem to feel the exact opposite way you do.

It starts a little slow with the first few episodes but I'm on episode 5 and it's settled into a nice rhythm. Also apparently episode 7 has a bonkers premise and is amazing.

My take on this is that I no longer feel qualified to have an opinion on it. It's just weird from so many angles now. Like, obviously he should lose his job if he did it, and shouldn't if he didn't, but this whole mess is so overcomplicated, jeez.
