The displayed image is, necessarily, upscaled to 4k if the TV is 4k, and “one would hope” that it’s done well enough that it’s not just a low-res picture with each pixel repeated in a little block.

In the middle of “Space Seed” there’s suddenly a cut to two random men fighting, which confused me when I saw it a few years ago until I realized those are Shatner’s and Montalban’s stunt men. Presumably on a 1967 TV screen the transition was unnoticeable. That’s the kind of thing that will go wrong in a 4k…

I feel like this misses something essential to the original concept.

I’m 64, and same.

Worse than that:

Agreed, especially since a large part of (blind-)playing a FromSoft game is trying to find which strategies and items are the most effective. To then turn around and say “oh, using X is lame, it works too well” seems like blaming people for solving the problem.

I’m concerned about the 2 likes on the original.

Worst is when the pie chart is rendered as a 3D object because it “looks cool”, resulting in the actual segment sizes being distorted.

In the UK, The Black and White Minstrel Show ran off and on (as British shows do) until 1978.

Shoot is the present tense; past, shiv; pp, shank.

Hadn’t heard of it, but PSA: it’s on HBO Max.

“Jen ultimately takes Nikki (and Blonksy’s) advice”

The theory is that the average broadcast age is 58, and the younger people are watching on streaming. That works when the CBS and WB parts of the company make and own those shows, put them on the CW, and also license them out to streaming. But with the new ownership, they won’t own any of the shows they put on, so…

Alt-head: ANA DE ARMAS WANTS YOU ALL TO KNOW THAT HER MOVIE BLONDE PREMIERING ON NETFLIX SEPTEMBER 28TH IS NC-17 SO HERE SHE IS TELLING YOU THAT

I will never miss an opportunity to link to Roger Ebert’s very sweet column of thanks after Schneider sent him flowers when he got sick:

The first actual sketch was better and made a concrete point: it was Dave Chappelle (ah, 2016, simpler times) and Chris Rock watching the election returns with some white friends, and their interaction can be summarized as

Yeah: artistically, GoT and this are descendants of the many, many historical shows that have ended up on Masterpiece Theater (which I will always call) over the years. And those are 100% courtly machinations.

I know they wanted the reveal of Daemon talking to Corlys, so it’s in Corlys’ place, but as they’ve set up this world I don’t see Corlys summoning Daemon to his home like he’s an employee.

Compelling as in convincing, or compelling as in now that you said it I won’t be able to get it out of my head, thanks loads?
