    [Movies] Talk about the last movie you saw 2: Electric Threadaloo

    Oh, like I said, I get why it was used. In hindsight. But while watching it, I didn't even notice the first aspect ratio change, and so when it switched to 4:3 I found myself constantly looking at the edges of the frame to see when it would switch back. Because I missed that first jump I didn't...

    Haven't seen Jurassic World yet. I'm not expecting anything on par with the first one. Not with that premise. But, I am expecting Chris Pratt vs Dinosaurs and by all accounts the movie delivers in that regard. I might see it eventually. What I DID watch recently, is The Grand Budapest Hotel I...

    [Movies] MCU: Phase 3 And Beyond

    With season 1 you had two opposing views on how to clean up Hell's Kitchen. Yes, Kingpin's an evil shit, but he's got the financial backing and infrastructure in place that, long term his vision could be good for the kitchen, in a heavily distorted way. Matt Murdock's method might be more...

    [Movies] MCU: Phase 3 And Beyond

    Was st work and didn't reslly have time to weigh in with my thoughts. I don't really care about Punisher, but I also never cared for Daredevil and they made me care, because the show is that good. I am sure they have a solid plan for Frank Castle. And Jon Bernthal is perfect freaking...

    Yahoo screen doesn't work in Canada. Dan harmon himself has said canadians should pirate it. Even using a vpn, yahoo is plagued wih playback issues. I watched the first two episodes of community via vpn, and it took me about two hours to watch each episode because of all the times I had to...

    One day I'll get to watch the rest of Community. For some reason Popcorn Time never loaded episoes 7-12 of this season. It just goes from 6 right to 13.

    The Random Crap Thread 2: It Hits the Fan.

    I can't afford it but I bought tickets anyway for this year's Just For Laughs Toronto. They've got a hell of a lineup this year: Patton Oswalt, Craig Ferguson, Hannibal Buress, Chris Hardwick, John Hodgman, Pete Holmes, Gilbert Gottfried, Brian Posehn, Duncan Trussel, Doug Benson.... I bought...

    I actualy just posted about post conversion 2D on facebook, putting forth my theory on why things looked the way they did and calling out a friend of mine who actually works at IMAX doing post conversion to clarify: Basically, it sounds like they're using Content Aware Fill to cut down on...

    It's definitely post conversion. You can tell because anything that's moving is blurry as hell, and certain elements just look terrible (Larry and Barry look like their faces are literally floating infront of them) But here is a list of news articles from 2012 when they switched from the planned...

    Mad Max Fury Road Second time in three days. I have to admit, on second viewing I feel like I'll forever be chasing that dragon of watching this for the first time. It's still AMAZING second viewing, but the spectacle is always going to be a little less spectacular on repeat viewings. Probably...

    Major Game Series or Genre You Haven't Played

    I have not played a Legend of Zelda game since the original. Does that count? I mean, I technically have played a game in the series, but everyone seems to shit bricks in shock that I haven't played Windwaker or Ocarina of Time or whatever.

    [TV] Winter HAS COME! - A Game of Thrones

    I stopped watching two episodes ago. Came in here to see what stupid bullshit the now hacky writers decided to try out this week. Still seems I made the right decision. Unbelievable what they have done to this show.

    Mad Max: Fury Road Holy shit this movie starts at ten, dials it up to 11 by the time the title card is shown, and then it stays there the rest of the way. What an adrenaline rush. Action movie directors: You all need to step up your game because George Miller just raised the bar in a big...
