The likely reason is that the actual unmatted 16x9 HD masters show stuff that’s not meant to be in the frame. There’s a few instances where you can see the edge of the set and, perhaps most amusingly, on one occasion a “naked” woman walks out of frame but as she does so she turns to reveal that she’s actually covered.

Jerry Seinfeld is a god damn weirdo man. There’s no conceivable reason to say yes to doingthat, and a million conceivable reasons to say "I don't want to do that" and yet, here we are.

This review betrays what I can only describe as a curious set of expectations for the film.  It seems to be a review of things it's not, but should be.  I thought that the film was quite clever.

Considering that Emily’s org the Trans Journalists Alliance essentially wrote a widely-adopted style guide for representing gender, it’s a bit of a kick in the teeth innit.

I love Lucy Lawless and I fully support giving her every role in the universe, but I think she's speculating here.

Irs just a tactic.  Daring the other side to blink.  Nothing more.

This is exactly what everyone knew would happy.

These people sound like idiots

That’s kind of exactly what I’m expecting.

The thing for me is: as much as there’s a tendency for us all to high-five about how stupid the other side is, or how stupid the political situation at large is, pretty much all ‘political’ comedy at the moment is less sophisticated than audiences are. It’s formulaic and at that, it uses a formula and an approach that…

I knew someone would reply to this effect and, no, I never really thought Disney would let sleeping dogs lie entirely, but it just strikes me that they’re embarking on a period now wherein the show is going to be very clearly demarcated as “the bit after the natural end of the story”, which in turn strikes me as the…

Wait, The Mandalorian is still continuing?

I genuinely had no idea that the original version was cancelled, but I suppose I have to admit that in my head I now say “SVU” as shorthand where I once said “Law & Order” so maybe i did know.

Thanks for reading this fascinating content.

The greatest get I ever got at a celebrity option was the drummer from Def Leppard’s arm.

That’s it, that’s the whole joke.

I think it’s meant to change, and be experimented with. It’s fairly obvious from the earlier ones that the artistic intention of the sequence is mutable (and indeed, if anyone involved in the production of Dr No was thinking about sequels prior to its box office success, I dare suggest the assumption was that there’d…

I actually like that idea more, now that you mention it.

They should import a huge menhir-toting Gaul to address the issue.

I really enjoy the line this guy walks.  His characters are on this tightrope between the kind of pathetic demeanor that one empathizes with, and the kind of pathetic demeanor that invites only contempt. It’s thankless, but it’s a talent. On the occasions where SNL chose to mine it, it was quite something to observe.

This is not interesting to anybody and I know I’m an annoying pedant and I know I’m coming across as though I’m calling out something that doesn’t need calling out but, just on the off-chance that somebody cares: the movie isn’t “overlit”, it’s lit exactly the way you’re supposed to light something shot with a digital…

I suspect that’s the way they’ll play it - framing it as some sort of “inside the mind of a monster” thing from Savile’s perspective would be too tasteless, even for the BBC, who love doing tasteless things and pretending they’re shooting for something higher.
