My family waited 3 days to watch Hamilton since they were waiting for me being home to join, so I sit down with them... but since the streaming bit-rate looked like poo poo, the black levels on my X900f from either corner of the room are not optimal (they took the couch directly in front of the TV), and the speakers were out of commission since the cat chewed through the wires, I bailed immediately because optimal first-time viewing experience of this thing is more important than these sorry fucks. gently caress. I should've bought an OLED. And hid my speaker wires better.

May I also say Better Call Saul is a masterpiece? Does AMC have a streaming service, or do I have to wait a whole rear end year before S5 is on Netflix (because if so I might just buy the whole season on Prime).

I used to go to the movies like 5 times a year maximum, but ever since Moviepass and later A-List was a thing the theater became my weekly mass. It'd be a shame if my church disappears, but I sincerely doubt that will happen.

Inspector Hound posted:I'm trying to watch True Detective again, so far I'm still hoping the murderer wins. The first time I quit halfway into the first episode and now I remember why; aside from generally being reminded of the worst parts of growing up in the south, I found it intensely boring at first and I have a personal dislike for the sort of character workshop monologuing into the camera that really only seems to have shown up in the first half of the first episode anyway. Basically just past the point I quit, all the weird fiction and intrigue that actually makes the show interesting picks up. One day I'll learn to watch a whole pilot. I'm digging that intrigue, but man I hate both of these detectives, mostly Woody. I'll keep going and assume that's part of the point Just remember... Human consciousness is a tragic misstep in evolution.

First thing that always comes to mind is seeing Order Of The Phoenix, and towards the end where one of the professors said "Voldemort has returned" some guy in the back of the theater yelled "Nah, really?!"

Aight, gently caress Netflix. Netflix is raising the price of its most popular plan to $14 today, premium tier increasing to $18 https://www.theverge.com/2020/10/29/21540346/netflix-price-increase-united-states-standard-premium-content-product-features And you'd think this would come with a streaming quality bump, right? Survey says... LOL Netflix is about to up the compression on videos that are less action-oriented https://www.imore.com/netflix-increasing-compression-so-why-isnt-apple?fbclid=IwAR3l7bi9AMX8hpsl-RNM-xCEpEtfemqdO3Rt7vKn4I1zWopvFRYyjEuCJJM

Edward Mass posted:Here's the thing: everything is going to get more expensive over time. Eventually, we will reach the point where people just want to see the last 15 minutes of the ninth episode of something, and they will find a way to sell it. Okay, cool. You don't have to simultaneously do everything in your power to make the experience worse though. Like if I'm paying $18, can the image of whatever 2nd-hand movies and cancelled poo poo they offer be pristine and, like... not very recently reverted to some 2007-size bandwidth because gently caress YOU.

Zwabu posted:Where’s a good place to start watching It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia? The beginning? Are there any “best” episodes to get hooked on the show? There's no Frank and the tone's a little more stiff, but don't listen to anyone who tells you to skip season 1. There's some classic episodes there (Charlie Has Cancer, Underage Drinking: A National Concern, The Gang Finds A Dead Guy).

Glottis posted:I have a soft spot for "The Gang Buys a Boat". Probably watched it about 8 times. It's not quite as vile or insane as many of the episodes but has a ton of quotables. I mean it's the episode The Implication came from. Of course it's one of the best. Favorite is still Sweet Dee Gets Audited.  Soooo loving dark lol.

I just watched Soul the other day... and I'm suddenly imagining the opening of the movie like an early-90's 2D-drawn Disney Renaissance flick complete with a period-relative needledrop like Terence Trent D'arby's "If You All Get To Heaven" playing over the entire [street>pothole death>Great Beyond escalator>fall into Limbo] sequence.

Maxwell Lord posted:Awake was the best LOST-ish show because they found out they weren't getting a second season but did have enough time to wrap things up and have a satisfying ending, so it's just this nice one season thing. (Also Jason Isaacs starred in it.) Oh god that show. It owned until it thought it needed to be a regular procedural for the Network TV audience for a few episodes too long and the post-cancellation ending of "LOL EVERYONE'S ALIVE FUK U" almost made me launch my remote through the TV. It was a really cool premise though. I'd like to see someone tackle that idea again (although maybe it'd be better executed in movie form).

Jfc most Puerto Ricans are various shades lighter than a brown paper bag. People crying about not showing diversity that doesn't actually exist in that community and turning this out of all things into a culture war battleground is infinitely hilarious.

Famethrowa posted:absolutely. this is the criticism I had after watching Brand New Cherry Flavor. If it was a focused 2 hour revenge flick with body horror I would have loved it, and I seriously enjoyed the first 3 episodes. Instead, it was stretched to the brink with bad cliffhangers and useless characters that led to an ending that I might have accepted from a giallo film, but definitely not after investing nearly 10 hours into it over 4 weeks.

Google Butt posted:ana de armas is hot Her not having more screen time in No Time To Die is a crime. She's the real Faye Valentine. unfff punk rebel ecks posted:It's just not "nerd" stuff. Like they never go out to clubs or the get togethers they go out to seem to be filled with older adults, they just seem to be very "adult" despite their child-like sense of judgement. Thank Larry David for being an old curmudgeon. His "Old man yelling at clouds" views on clubs/rock concerts (which he espouses quite a few times in Curb) rubs off on the show, which makes sense when you realize the first time George is seen walking into a club is the Seinfeld/Alec Berg/Jeff Schaffer produced-era (all who were SIGNIFICANTLY younger than Larry). Granted, said club's existence ended up being a ???, but still.

Basebf555 posted:It's completely absurd that Tom Cruise is gonna end up starring in a Mission Impossible film in 2025 and possibly beyond. It's like if Connery had held onto the Bond role from Dr. No all the way to the early 90s, it's just a really really cool thing and I'm glad it happened. What's even more nuts is that Cruise was 3 years older than Connery when he shot the the 1st M.I. compared to Dr. No. I blame the lack of lead in the water.
