Do you have a HDTV (not even discussing 4k)? After having one for 2-3 years, I found DVDs pretty unwatchable. It's weird going back to SD after you're used to watching HD for everything else.

I recently spent the weekend at a quaint hotel where the only TV was an old school 480i tube style set.  I watched for a grand total of 4 minutes before it became unbearable.  4K seems so...civilized.

first of all these technical matters are not my area...


I find some bluerays are pretty poor....its not the DVD format that is the problem but the source material.. many movies I like are very old...but a well produced DVD to me looks amazing....breathtaking.... maybe I'm a bit older than you and remember how shitty things used to be....just the fact you can watch movies in letterbox is INCREDIBLE... i come from the age where they chopped off the sides..I used to record movies on videotape just to get the letterbox version (which was impossible to find for too long)


you can always do better but at some point I just don't care any more....

We're getting the Sausage Party dvd through Netflix tonight. Seems like it will be more entertaining than election coverage. Now the only question is which beer to drink with it.
I gave this 2 out of 5 peach emojis

The novelty of a "Pixar" style movie where they cuss and do filthy filthy things wears off pretty quickly. I thought the funniest parts were the food puns. It's been tough for Rogen/Goldberg to get back to that Pineapple Express level of magic.

Isn't the earliest 11pm?  I thought they won't call before polls close on the west coast, Alaska be damned. (and Hawaii).

That's what the Brits are saying anyways.

I found these. The first adds some new fuel to the fire. The second does not add anything new, but it's a great read.

But I'm happy to get Juilan's take on it as well.

That's not totally current. Baliles pulled out and endorsed Stoney and Morrissey then went out and printed "sample ballots" listing Morrissey as the Democratic Candidate for Mayor. Stoney then sued because he's the official Dem party candidate.

Then today, more "volunteer groups" papering for Morrissey at some locations AND LISTING REPUBLICAN PARTY SAMPLE BALLOTS LISTING BERRY AS THE REPUBLICAN. (Berry is a Democrat in name -- although by far the most pro-business conservative in the race -- and this is a clear attempt to smear him with black voters.)

Also hundreds of confirmed ballots with Morrissey pre-marked. It's a shitshow.
