What is taking Netflix so long at pushing closed captioning updates for anything other than the PS3? It's fairly annoying since some titles have very soft speech but deafening explosions and the like, so captioning would be a plus.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:Didn't yesterday's update give the 360's Netflix app captions? I updated my system but didn't try out Netflix, though I've heard a few people say that captions on 360 are now an option. Oh really? I haven't turned mine on yet to get the update.

It seems the XBOX 360 subtitles are pretty broken, it is a random chance if they will work in a movie or not and when playing TV series episodes it takes until the second one you watch for them to pop up. Sorta annoying.

TrixRabbi posted:The Final Cut's the one you want. Yeah, there's a lot of versions of Blade Runner floating around out there. The Directors (90s) cut has a couple moments that the Final Cut changes for the worse Roy going Father/Fucker to Tyrell is not ambiguous and can no longer be heard either way, which was an odd change since the original was perfect.

Big Bad Voodoo Lou posted:I loved that movie, aside from some of the slow pacing at points. I think we are among the few, though. Everyone I knew at the time hated the title, the premise, the visual aesthetic, and wanted nothing to do with it, but I can't imagine why. It was essentially DC Comics' Blackhawks meets Marvel Comics' S.H.I.E.L.D. (including Angelina Jolie as a sexy female version of Nick Fury), set in the world of the '40s Max Fleischer Superman cartoons. The fact that half the movie is in a rather disgusting soft lens sepia tone didn't do much for watching it. The universe was good, but the whole FULLY BLUESCREEN gimmick didn't really pan out well.

Hewlett posted:I just rewatched this last night as well - it's a great farcical sort of French comedy. Jean Dujardin has such a massively expressive face it's impossible to not find his performance charming. The song he plays after his cover is blown in the aforementioned scene is fantastic as well. The second OSS parody movie, OSS 117: Lost in Rio is going to be taken off within the next two days. It's just as funny.

I don't know what the deal is but the Netflix app is a buggy piece of crap on the Kindle Fire. Constant stoppages, returning to the movie selection menu, unsynced audio, etc. It was working fine before but ever since they decided to update in June it's been broken.

Stubb Dogg posted:Fi/se/no/dk goons, if you're Spotify Premium subscriber you can get your Netflix free until end of the year using http://netflix.com/spotify to sign up. You don't even need a credit card that has its address in Sweden, all you need is a Swedish IP. I even signed in through a Facebook account which clearly shows I'm in the US in the location too. edit: For some reason the Scandinavian Netflix doesn't have instant queue.

Meow Tse-tung posted:Sorry if it's been asked, but is there any way to keep track of when new seasons of TV shows I've watched are added? It's getting really frustrating looking up dozens of shows several times a year to see if updates are available, but i don't see any "notify me' kind of options. If you stick them in your instant queue as you scroll by them it should say NEW EPISODES in a box pasted on the cover art.

A little amusing tidbit about the closed captioning in Tv series: apparently it's from the broadcast episodes and not from the episode Netflix actually has on Instant. Scrubs has a heap of music that got switched in the first couple seasons since they didn't lock down the rights to it, and the closed captioning reflects what the audio used to be.

SRM posted:I feel like the added scenes in Redux kind of serve to entrance you that much more. I've only seen the Redux version of it, but I honestly had no problems with pacing or anything of the sort, since it's supposed to be a hazy, difficult slog for the characters, and while it doesn't sound like a positive thing, I liked that it kind of felt the same to me as the viewer. The scene that Redux should not have added is the additional one of Kurtz/Brando in broad daylight, it sort of screws with the mystique. Apocalypse Now is one of those movies where it's tempting to track down the bootleg work print because of the story behind the editing process. It'd be interesting to go from work print-> Redux-> Theatrical.

If you actually need subtitles Amazon is not your first choice. They are incredibly lazy at implimenting them even after the FCC set a deadline to begin rolling them out last year.

GonSmithe posted:The "fucks" were blanked out when they premiered, but uncensored when put on dvd/blu-ray. Same with the woman from the first episode's boobs, and later the strip club. It's really weird as to which season will actually put the profanity in the DVD release. Season 1 is completely uncensored (including Walt telling Jesse to "Grow a pair of loving balls!" during a cook in one of the episodes) whereas Season 2's release I distinctly remember them dropping out most of the audio from the the "gently caress you." from S2E6. I haven't seen the later seasons episodes so they might have changed it once again.

...of SCIENCE! posted:It's less a time machine and more every time the Source Code is activated it creates a splinter universe that continues to exist even after the simulation ends. Which makes the happy ending pretty terrifying since it came at the expense of countless alternate universes where the bombs went off and/or he died horribly, and in the end his original self is still hooked up to the machine and the whole fiasco will repeat itself every time a threat big enough to warrant using the Source Code comes along. There's also the whole fact that he completely stole that poor bastard's life.

The hell is going on with Netflix subtitles? They've decided to pull all text from inside the actual movies/shows themselves to put them onto their subtitle system on the mobile app editions. This wouldn't be so bad except in some cases they never bothered to actually add the text (which was especially noticeable in the Japan/China sequences of Kill Bill the other day, which then had no translation) but in other cases they even removed the text from title cards, so you're left staring at a black screen for several seconds wondering the hell is going on. I'm left wondering why they would even bother removing the hard coded subtitles that came with the movie in the first place if they're translations.

Netflix replacing title cards and onscreen text wholly with captions is still one of the most aggravating changes they've done.

TrixRabbi posted:Wait, what is this? So for example, on Better Of Ted there will be fake commericials for Veridian Dynamics which have text. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ia8OKMlqxLs Any of the text that shows up from the original broadcast is removed from the Netflix version, so all you see is the logo on the left and the text through the captioning system, if you don't have the captioning system turned on, they won't show up. Other shows like American Dad which occasionally has onscreen text gags will just show straight up black screens because the white text was removed. Side note, I don't know why the hell closed captioning services have started putting text at the top of the screen rather than the bottom these days. It ends up blocking people's faces more often than not. Party Plane Jones fucked around with this message at 03:30 on Feb 14, 2015 |
