I bet it's better than the next Uwe Boll film.

And yet each one of these movies is still better than Gigli.

The sequel to 23.975 frames per second we've all been waiting for. 480 minutes (690,508.8 frames!) of pure bliss. I laughed, I cried, I saw exactly 23.976 frames per second.

Skip the remake, original was much better.

If I walk outside my house and turn on my video recorder without regard to what, if anything, I film, this is about what I'd get. Of course it's cold and dark outside here, but that doesn't seem to be a significant difference. To wit, WTF?

Man, the best post competition is certainly heating up!

God. I can't believe the positive reviews this garbage is getting. Everybody knows the original director's vision was for 25 frames per second, but then the studio replaced him with an American hack unfit to shine Alan Smithee's shoes, who promptly forced his imperalist NTSC frame rate on what could have been a brilliant cinematic masterpiece.

Wow, this was somehow worse than Manos: Hands of Fate.

These play back beautifully in Chrome. Hi-def. And while I didn't measure, I didn't see any judder or crappy pulldown, either. I'm guessing it does, in fact, display 23.976 FPS pretty well.

SPOILERS 23.976 fps is a framerate used when converting PAL video to NTSC. Details here, but I can't quite reconstruct the math on why 23.976 is the magic number.

The dialogue was as snappy as any of Joss Whedon's or Aaron Sorkin's.

A Netflix subscription.

When I'm logged in to Netflix I get "Page not found" for all the links, but if I log out I can see them again. Weird.

Ah, so this is Uwe Boll.

It's dubbed? To hell with that.

Subtitles are the only way to truly appreciate these movies.
