Also Maisel s2 is out in the UK and I assume everything east of that. My friend said it’s not up in the US yet but worth checking I suppose, it’s still not even Wednesday yet here. The premiere is great.

Yeah I would definitely read the books before watching the show, but I think the show does them justice and is excellent in its own right. Although I kind of want to hear what someone who watches first then reads would think, just because of how different the experience is in the book due to Elena's pov.

Pinkner, Rosenberg, Applebaum, and Nemec have been working together a while. It’s not going to be a nightmare of crossed wires and dueling visions, so you don’t have to worry about that.

Now, once you look up what they’ve done in the past, THEN you can worry.

On one hand part of me thinks Tom Cruise is trying to trick me in some kind of Scientology scam because of the weirdness of that PSA.

On the other hand I spent like 3 days thinking I was having some kind of stroke when I upgraded my TV so maybe its a good cause that can unify us.

So basically we can blame sports for motion smoothing. Football in 4K with smoothing looks great at the store so that's all that matters to the TV companies.

The funny thing is that's why it took me the better part of a week to be sure there was something wrong with the TV and not with me. Because most of my viewing on that TV was sports and news and that all looked fine. But then I'd catch a show and everyone would be moving all weird and something looked off and I thought I was having some kind of fit. Then I turned on a game and its fine again.

For something already at 30fps or 60ps like live sports it’s great. The problem is when it has to create frames for stuff shot in 24fps, which covers pretty much all film and most TV.

I can’t even enjoy it with sports. Things like watching a ball get thrown through the air and it’s like ‘nope’. Ghastly setting.

This guy's speculation is complete nonsense because it's predicated on the idea that bad tv shows and movies aren't financially successful as a matter of course. He's operating under a really weird just world fallacy where there must be a good reason for something getting cancelled.

The Transformers movie franchise has made many billions of dollars and Mad Max barely broke even. The idea that "bad quality catches up to you" is the single least true thing I've ever seen someone tweet, and Donald Trump exists.

Currently 3 episodes into the new season of Mrs Maisel; still love it, some stray thoughts:

1. I really hate watching Midge bomb, it makes me cringe so much
2. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but the cartoonishness of their reality seems to have been ramped up. I don't remember the first season being so absurd other than everyone talking unrealistically fast and sharp, whereas in this season a number of elements feel like caricature, and then we get subplots like Joel finds a treasure map

Again, still great though. Just give me the usual fast-paced banter and I'm good.

I would read and/or post in this hypothetical thread.

The show is spooky and fun to watch, but it also just kinda feels like one unconnected scene after another with poo poo just kinda happening so that a spooky thing happens. Like the business with the thruster that just randomly stops working? It goes from nonexistent issue to OMG SEND SOMEONE IN IMMEDIATELY!! in two seconds flat. I guess you are led to believe that Eris' mom is trying to sabotage them all but idk it just randomly pops up in the middle of ep 3 all of a sudden. I'm having fun watching it but it lacks cohesion somehow.


Edit: I do need a thread to talk about that weird bee lady tho.
