The X-Files was a spectacular show and one of the best mystery shows ever made in my opinion.

I don't understand the rage for web designs that take up more space and show me less content. e: no, wait, I totally get it, all the freaking whitespace is in there so they can shovel ads into it.

Lycus posted:The first time I remember X-Files getting a huge amount of attention was the Season 2 finale and the Season 3 premiere, I think those were the episodes with the old Navajo guy. It was pretty big deal for a few seasons after that. My friends and I had a big viewing party for the season two premier. Might have been two dozen of us watching it together. Goddamn that's a terrible layout for AV Club. It's like they said, "We're providing too much information. We need to cut this way back."

Thing is, I don't hate it for precisely that reason. I don't tend to visit AVC very often, but I find newspaper style sites have way way way too much data on the front page that you never really know where to start. New AVC I can quickly glance over in a few seconds and know everything new that's been put up.

VDay posted:Tons of empty, white space and boxy layouts filled with big screenshots and tiny bits of text are all the rage in web design these days, and I haven't met a single person who actually likes it. That seriously does look like poo poo, I have to wonder who decided they needed to change the perfectly good looking and serviceable design they had. It seems like web design trends are going 90's HTML1 retro. Really, look up a old site on the Wayback Machine and see the similarities.

It works ok on tablets. And it works really well in the mobile phone version. That's how I read the web nowadays so I think it's a good change.

I've only been to the AV Club once or twice, but going now it appears they don't know the chronological order of "older" and "newer."

Lada Gaga's got a pretty good sense of humor and perspective about herself, watching some of the sketches from SNL this week. That "Old Lady Gaga" sketch was both depressing and funny, and the Express Yourself Madonna rip-off was great.

There's not even a button to change to the desktop version from the mobile site, which is horrendous because mobile versions of websites are 1) never good and 2) always bad

There used to be a thing which just listed the shows you had selected form the "all shows" list. Is that really gone? I have trouble believing they'd remove user-customization functionality in a 21st century website, so I have to assume I just can't find it. edit: Apparently this is a known complaint and they'll implement that later. How dumb. Sir Kodiak fucked around with this message at 20:05 on Nov 18, 2013 |

I'm not a big Joel fan either, but Turkey Day coming back is great under any circumstances. Stream that stuff to your TV with a Chromecast.

This of course only adds fuel to the speculation that Joel might be trying to bring MST3K back as a Netflix series. No way it would be as good as Rifftrax though, those guys (and their writers) have really gotten into a solid groove.

Seeing as how those two butting heads was what caused Joel to leave the show in the first place. Also to my knowledge Mike isn't that fond of him either.

I'm not the biggest fan of Joel, but I liked Trace about as much as Corbett so...

precision posted:Mallon still owns the rights and is doing gently caress-all with 'em. He did try that short lived web cartoon series that was just the bots doing stuff. Although he didn't get anybody back other than Paul Chaplin for some reason to voice one of the character. From what I've read nobody really likes Mallon all that much because he's kind of an rear end in a top hat to work with. Apparently the reason Mike's pre-Rifftrax venture "The Film Crew" didn't work out was because Mallon thought it was too close to MST3K and threatened to sue. Also the fact that when MST3K ended he just up and sold off everything without any consideration to the rest of the crew.

The thing that makes me the most sad about the post-MST3k revivals is that the crew is divided. I'd guess that there's some kind of non-competition thing in their contracts by their relative producers. The only Cinematic Titanic regular that has done Rifftrax is Mary Jo Peal and she only did one Rifftrax before CT started up.

Glitter was the first with Mike and then the next year she did X-Files with Bill.

Deadpool posted:I'm watching it right now, and even though it was spoiled on Twitter for me earlier I feel like it's landing a little soft. I'm thinking this might be one last red herring. At least I'm hoping so. I have no problem with who it is, but the reveal came off soft. Yeah, plus earlier in the season, in the CBI office, Reede looked and sounded like he was in charge. If Reede is not RJ, that scene was confusing. At this point, Ray Haffner is the only one it could be right? He's of the right age to be Jane's rival, the only one the show has confirmed was at the first Red John "sighting." And probably smart enough not to carry around a tattoo marking himself. If the show throws us a curve ball, it has to be him imo. It's amazing, a few years ago, we were talking about this tigre, tigre thing in the Mentalist thread, and a lot of people postulated that it was just a bunch of corrupt cops because of the poem.

Next to the ad part, web design is basically aping the magazine/newspaper design trends from about 10 years ago. While boxes (especially text boxes) have all but disappeared there in the last few years they are all the rage in web design for example.
