Is there a motion interpolation reference I can see or is it a "if you don't have it there's no way to show it" thing? Everyone complains like it's a layer of vaseline on the monitor or something, and I've never noticed that in anything I've watched. I donno if I just don't notice or my TV didn't come with it (there's no setting option for it, that's for sure).

You need a 120Hz+ TV to have it as an option.

60hz tvs with interpolation are usually marketed as 120 effective hz, and actual 120hz tvs as 240. poo poo is confusing.

It's generally known as 'soap opera effect' because it takes the 24fps motion of film (which is quite 'dream like' and not perfectly smooth especially in panning) and makes it look like a $200m movie was shot on video and suddenly looks like midday programming. It's that uncanny valley of being smooth but not in a natural way. Some people are prone to it's effects, some aren't. If it's all you know you'll just get used to it and not question it (and then 'correct' settings look weird and wrong), or just know *something* isn't right but not sure what.

This is weird but it tends to show up on talk shows since they switched to flat screen monitors to show guests' clips, or at least it did a few years ago. Also you could just go to your local Walmart/other superstore and check out the display TVs in all their default setting glory. At any rate you don't need your own 120+Hz HDTV to notice the effect, I've seen it through a drat CRT over the antenna.

There's this new Law & Order spin-off coming out and it's going to be a true crime anthology. Surely they can just go back to 25 year old L&O scripts and run a Ctrl+F and replace to change the names back to the real life equivalents.

MiddleOne posted:Why was this made It's based on a true story posted on the Japanese official forums for FFXIV. The director and producer of the game liked the story so much that he asked for the higher ups at Square-Enix to make some shorts based on the story. Those shorts turned out to be wildly popular in Japan and around the world once people fansubbed them, so that's why it's a full-fledged show now. tl;dr - real life story of a student and his salaryman dad went viral in Japan and became the basis for a real show.

I wasn't asking "what is it", I was asking "can I see an example of what it is online without buying a TV/monitor that specifically has it." Turns out the answer is yes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_dE6HPIAJM

Ah I get you, well if you want a better demonstration than just a YouTube clip then just walk into Best Buy and at least some of the sets will have it. I saw a display that made an LG OLED look like poo poo in one of their Magnolia showrooms, which is pretty impressive.

We went to a coworker’s house and watched Wedding Crashers with loving motion interpolation on. What should’ve been a nice treat and break from work made me die inside a little bit. my inlaws refuse to turn this off on their fuckoff 70" TV and it makes me hate watching movies at their house

My wife and I have been desperate for a new show to watch. All summer, we enjoyed Game of Thrones, The Defenders, Wynonna Earp, and especially Twin Peaks together, but Peaks ends tonight (SO EXCITED AND ALSO SAD!), and the others are over. She has been binge-watching Parenthood by herself and finished it yesterday while I cooked dinner, and I've been watching Preacher and The Tick without her, and I'm almost through both. We tried Colony on Netflix last night because we liked Sawyer on Lost and Sarah on Prison Break, but she didn't even make it five minutes into the pilot before she announced "BORED NOW!" So then we tried Nikita, and boom, that delivered. Watched two episodes, and we already love the pacing, the casting, the action, the twists, the strong female characters, everything. It helps that I've always been fond of Point of No Return and made her watch it last year. I think this will definitely be our next binge, and I'm glad there are four seasons available on Netflix. Does it stay good?

It falters a bit in the first half of season 3 because theres a big shakeup at the end of season 2 and it feels like it takes them a bit to figure out what they want to do next. But it recovers and season 4 is basically a 6 episode movie to conclude it, it's cool.

And we watch iZombie and Riverdale, and I watch most of the DC shows by myself, but Nikita flew completely under my radar when it was on!

It's like their main priority is to have a shootout and and a martial arts fight in every eoisode, with a vehicle chase in a large number of them. It's got a heavy dose of "what's really going on/who can we really trust". It does that thing where every character acts like they are in highschool with regards to relationship drama, except they are all fbi/cia/nsa and they kill people all the time. I'm not sure what to compare it to, but it's turned up to 11.

Possibly? Like, the premise is that a woman with amnesia is found by the FBI. She is covered in prison-break style tattoos, which are actually complex clues leading to uncovering terrorist activity and corruption. That aspect of it is like Prison Break + Person of Interest. They have the these clues that they don't know what they mean and they have to figure out what it points to. There's the central mystery of who she is and where she came from. She has a Navy Seal tattoo, but this would make her the first woman navy seal, which there is no record of. She's a huge badass and helps the FBI while also being their prisoner. Like, that's the premise. It gets crazier from there. Realistic is not something related to the show. Snak fucked around with this message at 17:27 on Sep 3, 2017 |

Is this the thread for bitching about the AV Club? They seem to gently caress up their site like clockwork once every year or so, then take a year fixing it up into a usable form only to restart the whole process immediately.

The one change they made that really cheesed me off was last year or the year before when they chopped all of the content out of the "What's on Tonight?" feature. It used to be a little blurb about just about everything on that day and now it is like one paragraph about one show and then just a list of what they cover.

I signed up for HBO Now to watch GoT and it renewed right before the finale, so I still have it for a few weeks. Need recommendations for series to watch. So far I've seen: - Oz - The Sopranos - Six Feet Under - The Wire - GoT - Boardwalk Empire - True Detective - Westworld - Empire Falls - Vice - Big Little Lies - Tell Me You Love Me - Sex And The City - Girls - In Treatment Guess it's pretty obvious that I prefer dramas, and haven't touched a single comedy. Are those (Veep, Vice Principals, Silicon Valley, etc.) any good? Thought about True Blood but vampires  For what it's worth I liked them all in various degrees except the last two. Miniseries are fine.
