Good job Tom Cruise

I rented the newer Mission Impossible movie tonight and before it started there was an intro with Cruise and some other dude telling everyone to turn their stupid motion smoothing shit off their tv. I'm happy to see someone telling people dumb enough to watch movies without turning this off how it's ruining how you watch a movie.

 

Ah, the annoying soap opera effect.

 

Thats a thing? I use 3 buttons on ours, on and volume up and down. Caveman lol.

 

Which button is that on my 1972 Curtis Mathes?



Get off my lawn.

 

I'm so glad prominent directors are pushing to change this tactic by manufacturers. Can't count how many times I've been to folks houses and mentioned the setting to them, fixed it for them, and they're like "I've always wondered why our TV looked so funny."

It really is the most aggravating thing when trying to watch a movie, and it's obscene how companies make it so entirely difficult to turn it off sometimes.

 

Do you ever tire of watching the same channel all the time?

 

Well played.






I have a Comcast cable remote also. I'm not a savage.

 

Xenu commands you turn off motion smoothing!

 

I stopped reading at "Tom Cruise"

 

The new MI movie was actually pretty good.. even though I find it hard to stomach Tom. Dude was the bees knees in the 80's and 90's then got full on wacko.

 

Someone should tell Tom that no level of changing the picture settings is going to make this a good movie.

 

Nice! How good's the scrambled porn look on that puppy?

 

I went to high school with him and we lived in the same neighborhood but I never met him. My mom hung out with his mom. That's when they were Mapothers.

All I got

 

Anyone else get knots in their stomach with all of his helmetless motorcycle riding? The guy loves his bikes, but he's not much of an ambassador for safety gear.

 

Disagree. Making the screen go black through the use of the power button makes it epic.

 

He's being protected by a higher power

 

So what's motion smoothing?

 

I have a Chinese TV I got on special at Target. Pretty sure it means that the workers at the sweatshop had good chopstick control when they ate their rice noodles for lunch.

 

What the fuck is wrong with you?

 

Seriously? You've not heard of it by now?
