They premiered it at the Toronto film fest last week but it’s not really out until November 4 on the Roku channel whatever that is.

Rarity posted:Is this the thread to talk about Netflix's new movie Do Revenge? Actually I don't care I'm going to do it anyway Thanks for the recommendation. Always hard to find movies with broader appeal. My wife is very smug that she guessed the twist immediately after they said the line about narcissists.

Tiny Timbs posted:720p? Is internet media just regressing now? YouTube has also been doing A/B testing on setting people to low res automatically. The $9.99 Netflix basic plan TODAY is still 480p so the ad plan is actually an upgrade. (They are also upgrading the basic plan to 720p too.)

One of the strategies is to heavily discount a yearly subscription and then hope people just pay the full price the next year.

Good documentary if you like Bond music. Even talked about the rejected Radiohead song, which was surprising considering this was obviously endorsed by the Bond producers. Funny that they didn’t mention Madonna once, unless I missed it. Also didn’t realize there was a companion concert. Prime Video is really the worst app.

Was watching some classic Simpsons Treehouse of Horror episodes (30 years old!) and the upscaling of those is funky. Some scenes looks like garbage, some look surprisingly crisp.

Somehow they stretched “baking” to include tortillas because they could only think of two Mexican baked goods and the show has three rounds.

Project Hail Mary feels like it would be all voiceovers and flashbacks, unless it had a clever screenwriter. What did The Martian do? Read aloud journal entries?

Huh, PHM has the same screenwriter as The Martian, Lord and Miller as director, and Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone set to star. That’s a pretty good lineup.

Edward Mass posted:They occasionally have themed movies based on whatever new stuff they're putting out. Yeah if you click on the “Included with Apple TV+” tile, it says what the tie-in for each one is. Currently it is: 1) Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds comedies because they just put out a Christmas movie. 2) “International Thrillers” like Argo and Syrians to go with Echo 3, whatever that is. 3) “Workplace Comedy Essentials” like Office Space to go with Mythic Quest S3. 4) Jennifer Lawrence movies cause they just had an original movie starring her.

It’s interesting that Netflix puts out the holiday bake-off shows a year after they air in the UK. I guess the UK channel wants to show them on actual Christmas and New Years and Netflix wants them available for the whole season.

Pingiivi posted:Aren't these limited releases pretty much "we showed them in a theatre, so now it's eligible for Oscar nominations"-things? It was kind of a wide release for that, 700 theaters. That’s like a typical indie release, just a lot shorter and with no possible expansion. Maybe it was contractual with Rian Johnson?

Nihonniboku posted:If you like food competition shows, Amazon's Freevee has America's Test Kitchen: The Next Generation. There is nothing original about it in any way whatsoever, Top Chef is the pinnacle of this genre, and HBO's The Big Brunch was better, but ATK: TNG is perfectly adequate to watch. Wow, I didn't realize Big Brunch was a competition show, I figured it was like one of those "celebrities sit around and talk and eat" things.

Not really heard of it happening with movies from reputable studios though. They sorted out all the music rights back when DVDs got big. Maybe this one they realized they could penny pinch and remove a song they had already licensed to save money?

It’s weird old network TV scheduling business. Fox ordered 21 episodes then only gave them 20 timeslots so they made one extra episode but didn’t air it during the first season. Then they aired it randomly halfway through the second season.

The other thing about live sitcoms is that if a joke didn’t get laughs from the real audience, they would rewrite and refilm it on the fly. Pretty good feedback loop. OTOH, live audiences love slapstick.
