The article briefly mentions it, but compression is a massive part of the problem if not the main issue. It doesn’t matter how good the TV is or how dark the room is, if a show is streaming-only and every scene is dark browns and greys at night in a snowstorm, then it’s gonna look like a heatmap until someone leaks a…

Hasn’t this drain been circled as many times as it needs to?

I think AV Club loves hearing that a beloved icon might not be a great person; it’s easy content and they don’t have to, like, think about movies

Goddamn, I fucking hate every shit-ass word of that corporate-speak horseshit. Anyone who utters words like, “We’re really on track for a lot of asset value creation and free cashflow generation,” and “we’re coming from an irrational time of overspending with limited focus on return on investment,” shouldn’t be…

Yes, 20% has been the standard for years. 

I think the common consensus is that Michele is a terrific singer, a passable enough actress, and generally rude, mean, and diva-ish. This is surprising to exactly nobody. Is she racist? Probably not in the ‘Proud Boy’ way or even in the ‘considers voting Republican’ way. But I’d bet a substantial amount it’s in the…

Until you open the box and the wavefunction collapses she’s technically both.

Gotta have something new to sell to people every year, right?

Why would you need a hammer when you have a specialized pencil?

Nobody is saying it’s ‘arduous’. They’re saying it’s irritating, pretentious, and weird. Which it is. ‘They wants a cheeseburger’, for instance, or ‘They is running late’ sounds clunky and awkward, and makes the speaker appear illiterate.

In fact, the entire “I have preferred pronouns” thing will always be weird.

While we’re doing redemption tours, they should bring Mel Gibson on for a Channukah special.

I hope a cottage industry arises to take these infuriatingly over-long series (looking right at you Dahmer) and trim them down into something watchable. The docuseries on A&E about this story was only 4 parts, they had to explode it into 8??

except that traditional hand drawn cell animations like Snow White used the the same technique used in this film.

If someone answers a question you’ve asked, don’t jump right in to continue the conversation.  If you create an awkward silence, often the person who answered your question will keep talking and provide more information.  Sometimes it’s information they didn’t initially intend to disclose.

Did they actually call the resource they were seeking “unobtanium?” 

I find that kind of intimidating about a number of these exercise routine articles - I am not even sure how many situps I should be doing and feet on floor? Legs bent or straight out? let alone the woobie-zoobie or fan-dam-dang-a-long-ling-long which is a one-way trip into a rabbit hole of videos with people doing…

I agree with most of what you say, but I also think the only way to get ahead is to put in extra effort, or at least give the appearance that you are doing so. This will also highly depend on the organization or group you work for. About a year ago I got a job grade promotion (very large company) along with a heft…

With families and friends, it’s always a gift, never a loan. Consider any repayment to be a windfall.

My practice with all digital cameras has always been to never exceed the optical zoom. As the article mentions, when you go beyond this it’s just cropping the image, and it might not be clear, especially when viewed in a larger format. I prefer to do any cropping at a later time.
