At this point, the censorship tangents are getting to be a bit asinine. All the cable networks want to be HBO and I don't think anyone is concerned about the audience/advertisers of Mr. Robot ditching because of some bad words. It's like a room of five year olds tittering away because they heard the teacher say "crap."

Wow. They completely rewrote their pitch for Powerless.

Are there any good examples of this happening before? Where the concept is completely changed but the same cast is used.

What's the general consensus on The Magicians? I caught an episode, and it seems like someone really wanted to make an 'edgy' Harry Potter where casting spells is basically over-dramatic gloving.

4K would be better if you want a TV that'll last you another 20 years, but it definitely isn't necessary

If you're seriously recommending 4K for a 20 inch tv (hell, even a 40 inch tv), then you've bought into the hype.

Distance charts are bullshit and it doesn't work that way.

But they don't even make 4k below 40 inch anyway.

They do. They call them monitors, because even people selling these things are aware that you're not gonna see a difference at that size unless you're a foot away.

I'll never understand this forum's willingness to accept absurdity in the plots of some shows but not others.

Is Legends of Tomorrow good?

This Thread posted:

Obviously, because it leans into it.

Is Sherlock good?

This Thread posted:

Of course not, because it leans into it the wrong way.

Amazon Prime needs a category just for the Rifftrax they have available.

I would pay the price of Amazon Prime just to have a service that offered Rifftrax as a commentary track on most of the movies they have done.

Matt Lauer was really that important that he needed permanent safeguards for lockdown situations? He's not the President or anything

I think you're way overestimating the complexity of a system like this. I work with a number of elementary schools and a bunch of them have electromagnetic locks and door releases that can be operated remotely. It's a few pieces of equipment that wouldn't cost more than a couple hundred dollars per room, and they have a number of safety benefits beyond lockdown situations.

This is just going to be a bad day, isn't it

Only if you take issue with consumers being alright with streamlining the oligopoly because now Deadpool can pee on Iron Man or whatever.
