Last Movie You Watched

[George]

But I thought you just said that you're seeing it everywhere including images?

No, just on youtube.

George,
Go to any YouTube video. Right click on the video itself. Hit "Settings." If "enable hardware acceleration" is checked, uncheck it. While I had it checked, all I could ever see was giant pixelated color blobs. I'm not sure this is the solution for you, but it's worth a try.

Yes, I did have hardware acceleration set and I unchecked it, went to the video I posted last night and no issue anymore!!

But then I re-enabled hardware acceleration and it still played fine. I bet the problem is bandwidth. Last night was a high traffic time, when I usually get very slow download speeds.

Uh no, it either loads or doesn't.  You can downscale vids to lower res but it doesn't just corrupt itself like an analog signal.

Most likely explanation: either you were having an aura and now have a migraine, or it was in your head.  Next time you might want to ask your girlfriend or friend or neighbor if they can also see the problem.

[Grave of the Fireflies]

Never ever again!



Well, by that director, I prefer "Heidi" - Everyone in Germany knows Heidi

That movie is effing awesome. I love the ending.

Yes... what a happy ending. They all live happily ever after in a mansion when the war is over. And they get to eat loooots of food.

That's why it was so good. The last movie I watched, Angela, should have ended in a similar fashion, but decided to go the route you suggested.

What was their post-movie shelf-life?

Not sure what an Aura is, but it surely wasn't in my head, David. I am offended that you would even suggest such a thing.

[karlhenning]

Not sure what an Aura is . . . .

Daughter of Ming the Merciless, I thought : )

[bwv 1080]

Finally saw Defiance, thought it was well done until the cheesy Hollywood ending

[SonicMan46]

Loved Grave of the Fireflies - even bought the film (but cannot watch it often) - agree w/ the reviewers - 

How to Train Your Dragon (2010) - we rented this film in our hotel room at the beach a few nights ago; room had a nice BIG flat screen TV - really enjoyed (would liked to have seen this on a large 3-D screen - cannot remember if released in that format in the theaters?).

Overall Amazon reviews 4+/5* (although a few 1* ratings mainly from complainers that the movie was not like the book - well never read the book or books, so not an issue for us); 98% 'Fresh Rating' on Rotten Tomatoes HERE, which is remarkably high for that site!  And, 8.2/10 on IMDB, another excellent rating.

What, you don't believe in "astral planes of existence"?

Turns out the problem has to do with Firefox. I noticed the distortion again tonight and switched to IE and the distortion was not present on IE. I switched back and forth and it remained the same. Did some googling to find out how to fix the Firefox issue and came up with nothing.

Not sure what you mean by this... movie characters have a shelf-life?

Same here. It's kind of like listening to "On the Transmigration of Souls."
This one guy on youtube says he watches it every couple of months... I could not do something like that.

Glad to hear that fixed it, man. Of course, if this solution continues to work properly, you might want to consider alternative browsers like Chrome or Opera so you can rejoin "The Cool Kids Who Condescendingly Frown Upon IE" Club again

How long will the food last?

[greg]

How long will the food last?

In my imaginary ending, forever!

Of course, they could learn to farm . . . if the earth is still tillable.
