While I don’t think the world needs more of these things, I kinda liked the one about health insurance adjustments. It was surprisingly angry.

No one’s going to read this, but I wanted to weigh in after watching this show all the way through. I reacted to it more like Freaks and Geeks or Eighth Grade (it’s definitely not nearly as good as either, but I’d put it in the same ballpark) than something odder like Strangers with Candy. It’s not simple cringe…

Having read Susan Atkins’ bragging about the physical act of stabbing Sharon Tate as she pleaded, I never, ever could empathize with her and find this whole thing kind of revolting. That whole quote is just seared into my brain as the most disturbing thing I’ve ever read. Ugh.

Yeah, definitely not a kids movie, though I don’t know WHO it was made for other than people that like watching weird garbage. The “family-friendly” version still ends with Denise Richards doing a striptease for a brain as it says things like “YEAH, BABY, TAKE IT OFF.” :(

Just shots of the guy’s head flat on the ground after the T-rex stomps on it at the party, that kind of thing. It’s really badly done and adds to the comedy of it all. I was very surprised when I saw a VHS rip and it was censored. I guess the time I saw it on USA or Monstervision or something way back in the day it…

She doesn’t contribute anything, she’s not a politician, she’s not a reporter, she’s just some idiot that inexplicably is given platforms. It’s not productive to have discussions with her.

This has been at the top of my watchlist since reading about it during Sundance. It’s been a painful wait. Sometimes I wish they wouldn’t show good movies during festivals! IIRC Babadook took at least a year between reading reviews and being able to see it.

Seriously, what was up with that? It’s been out on blu-ray/amazon prime for months here. I guess you would have had to import it to see it legally?

Which one are you referring to? Even as a Mario Bava nerd, I’ve missed the joke and it’s KILLING ME!!! The Whip and the Body? Black Sabbath? Danger Diabolik? Planet of the Vampires? Dr Goldfoot and the Girl Bombs? Hercules in the Haunted World? None of the above?

Interesting. Maybe their servers were overloaded, giving us the more heavily compressed version sunday night. Maybe I’ll watch it again.

I wondered the same thing, but wasn’t going to put off watching it for a day for the possibility of better picture! I started it about an hour after it started airing (aka, most people were likely still finishing it up), so it might look much better now depending on how host bandwidth works for these things. Still, I…

Beyond making sure that you have a stable, high-speed internet connection to watch the broadcast, it’s a host problem and totally out of your hands.

I don’t know the difference in bandwidth caps between their various services, but maybe HBO Now has a higher one? I watched it with the on-demand episode through Amazon Prime’s version of HBO, and this is the first episode I’ve ever seen with this kind of compression artifacting in the multiple seasons I’ve watched it…

In many peoples’ cases this was 100% an encoding issue. The blacks were these shitty, pixelation-plagued bands of gradients instead of anything looking remotely HD, and the storm clouds were even worse - there were as many pixelation blocks as there were snowflakes! Whenever you’d get anything remotely well-lit and…

Barry’s current season ends at roughly the same time as GoT, and LWT posts all its longform pieces for free on Youtube! :P

Seriously. She’s definitely not going to win any awards, but she’s no worse than Jason Momoa. DC-wise, she’s at least better than say, Jesse Eisenberg in BvS.

Hmm, this descriptions suggests maybe I’ll have to check it out. I’ve rewatched The Office seasons 2/3 at least 10 times but really find everything after a progressively worse slog; similar deal with Parks and Rec season 3. Anything that is remotely in that same vein and is at least better than the bland years of the O…

Oh, it’s not just that leaked footage, it was a very major spoiler. At least, I assume it wasn’t in the leaked footage!

Not really sure where else to post this, but PSA: the spoiler trolls are starting to rev up for Endgame, so you might want to start your media blackout now if you don’t want to accidentally read anything! I already did this morning :(

The Oprah redub for the American release was so poorly received that it resulted in an American re-release with Attenborough’s narration reinstated, and the Oprah version is consigned to the bargain bin. It was mostly a result of a VERY poor script re-write that seemed like they were targeting it at small children,…
