You’re complaining about an important storytelling tool that has been in near ubiquitous use for over a hundred years.

Reply to comment by SmileyPiesUntilIDrop in Why don't the other networks promote their shows the way NBC does ? by vanillathebest
New Girl is is owned by 20 Century Fox Television which is owned by Disney, whereas Fox the tv channel isn't owned by Disney.
Networks aren't going to promote shows owned by different TV studios.

Well there's not just the machines in Horizon even as it's a huge centrepiece. They appear to be adapting the past if the description is true which is an unusual choice.

Most video game stories are dogshit, in the grand scheme of things very few are great and fewer still would work well as TV series or movies.

Reply to comment by Vincent_adultman98 in The last episode of Stranger Things is 2 hours and 30 minutes long. Is there any other episodes of shows with similar or longer running times? by CWJMajor19
It's not and that's kinda annoying. I don't remember exactly, but the vast majority was waiting for crew to set up off-camera.

thank you again for the explanation,
just as you said bad cinematography leads to this. but when you create a 200 million+ dollar movie at least i expect great cinematography. look at for example shape of water from Del Toro.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFYWazblaUA
look how beautiful it is shot. very little blur. so again it is possible. but it simply depends on the director.
another example the chariot race of ben hur a movie of 1959 looks better then modern day movies in terms of cinematography.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frE9rXnaHpE
just look at that link. there is also some light blur in some scenes which is fine, but most shots are sharp. so if it is possible in 1959 you tell me it is not possible in 2023?
also in animation movies mostly all scenes were sharp, like for example in the movie Akira
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nA8KmHC2Z-g
however these days we get blurry backgrounds now as well in animation movies. for example in the new mario brothers movie.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnGl01FkMMo&t=21s
you can see mario fighting kong. and i am like why? why do you do that? just because you can should not be the reason why.
if a director chose for a close up shot and blurs out the background fully without any detail left. it is done on purpose. take note that i make a difference between light blur and so much blur you can not see anything anymore from the background. and that is what upsets me, because you on purpose destroy the scene while that is not necessary.
it is the same as you have 2 people standing still and the camera is lightly shaken which lagues so many tv series these days. like andor for example.
and very well i understand depth of field, but that all depends on camera work on how much you want depth of field or not. that is what it comes down too. in the end it is a directors choice.
that is why i firmly believe if your a good director you can let every scene breath and let the viewer decide what they want to watch in the scene.

Nothing has gotten cancelled after anywhere near as good a season 1 as Breaking Bad had. As much as people complain about Netflix cancellations, they don't cancel the truly great shows (of which they produce very few these days tbf). Shows got cancelled at a similar if not higher rate in the age of cabke, and they often got less than a season

It's almost comical how wooden he is in every scene. I can sometimes justify a character being wooden and weird (sometimes it almost fits the material), but it just really doesn't work here.

That's exactly why I switched to Plex with my own media server. I have multiple playlists. Sometimes I'm in the mood for a sitcom. So I do a random episode from multiple sitcom shows. Other times I like anime ... etc.
It's so much more meaningful than random episodes/movies from the entire collection!!

Also, S1 of Breaking Bad was probably a lot cheaper to make, in comparison to something like 1899 or the Dark Crystal series.
