Because they aren't designed to give you the best picture quality, for some reason. There's a reason filmmaker mode exists, but that's not suited for everything either. But even apart from that, there are going to be slight differences between each unit that need to be accounted for.

I don't doubt a random TV looks like shit. Picture quality isn't the purpose of them at most businesses. Even places that sell them rarely do more than default settings, and they also have a wide range of TVs so a lot probably still look like ass.

FFS, stop trying to kill your platform. You're trying to turn a golden goose into a platinum goose but you're going to end up with a regular goose if you keep going. You've already pushed me away from the platform because of your changes to side loading. Making people pay more for the same thing doesn't make your product more luxurious.

For real. The smart features may be terrible but LG has some of the top TVs in the market. The picture quality is great. I'd love to know what they think looks good if something like the C5 "looks SO terrible."

Talk about pot calling the kettle black.

Probably the some violence category, if I remember the movie well enough. They are competing against each other to get to the prize after all. It's more like cartoon violence though, like Wacky Races except more tame.

I spent like 3 hours making that list. I had a lot of movies to look through and I spent for too much time trying to figure out what to include and which category they go under. Not sure I'm up for spending more time on this. I don't even know what letterboxd is.

Ohh boy, my time to shine. I'll try to break it down based on safeness. I'll avoid listing some obvious ones, like main Disney movies. There may be some spoilers in my notes. Also "suggestive" may be more accurate as level of awkwardness. And everything is my opinion.

As safe as can be:

  • Arrival (while the military is involved I don't recall there being any violence)
  • Brewster's Millions
  • Cars
  • Cast Away (there's the part where he's testing out hanging himself but IIRC it's not explained, you'd have to already know what he's trying to do)
  • Confessions of a Shopaholic
  • Coraline (IDK how you rate the "violence" in this movie since there's no blood)
  • Erin Brockovich
  • The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
  • The Geatest Game Ever Played
  • Groundhog Day (though it's basically a romance movie, they don't show or hint at anything IIRC. And I think one guy gets punched)
  • Honey I Shrunk the Kids
  • Hotel Transylvania 1 & 2
  • Iron Giant
  • Kiki's Delivery Service
  • The Martian
  • The Neverending Story (there is the one guy that is disintegrated but I think that's the only questionable part, though there is the death of Atrax)
  • My Cousin Vinny
  • My Neighbor Totoro
  • Office Space
  • Planet 51
  • Ponyo
  • Ratatouille
  • Return to Oz (though there are parts that are scary and creepy for young children, and it's got the whole mental asylum)
  • Robots
  • The Sandlot (there is the one kissing scene)
  • The Secret World of Arriety
  • Spirited Away
  • Sully
  • Unstoppable
  • Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
  • Your Name

Some violence:

  • Alice in Wonderland (live action version)
  • Back to the Future 3
  • Brave
  • Castle in the Sky
  • The Day the Earth Stood Still (original)
  • Despicable Me
  • Ex Machina (it's basically violence free until the end when a person is killed. You could skip that part.)
  • Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
  • First two Harry Potter movies have the least amount. 3 has more. The rest either have a lot of violence or revolve around death.
  • The Goonies
  • Happy Gilmore (the language is probably more problematic though)
  • Heavyweights
  • Knives Out
  • Matilda
  • Meet the Robinsons
  • October Sky
  • Real Steel (Sci-fi boxing movie, the violence outside the ring is more what I'm thinking of though)
  • Shrek

More violence:

  • 9
  • Most any DC/Marvel movie (I'm not going through them all, but I can only think of a few that are suggestive in any way. The first Ironman and Thor come to mind.)
  • Big Hero 6
  • Crocodile Dundee series
  • Ender's Game
  • Howl's Moving Castle (I don't recall there being any on screen but the whole story revolves around war)
  • I, Robot
  • Jurassic Park series
  • Karate Kid (new one specifically but both are about the same)
  • Monty Python and the Holy Grail
  • Nausica of the Valley of the Wind
  • Planet of the Apes (original)
  • Scott Pilgrim vs the World
  • Spider-man: Into the Spiderverse

Slightly suggestive:

  • 50 First Dates
  • Accepted
  • Big
  • The Big Short (Margot Robbie narrates from a bathtub and there is a scene at a strip club. Nothing is shown)
  • Blast From the Past
  • Ferris Bueller's Day Off
  • Pitch Perfect
  • The Princess Diaries 1 & 2
  • Smokey and the Bandit
  • Summer Wars

More suggestive:

  • Bicentennial Man
  • Back to the Future 1 & 2 (there's the whole rape thing in the first one and Lorraine is a sex object for Biff in the second movie)
  • Bruce Almighty
  • Click

Violent and suggestive, or otherwise doesn't fit in any other category:

  • Almost Heroes
  • Dead Poets Society (has suicide)
  • Ghostbusters 1 & 2 (first one has the whole ghost blowjob thing and also the 2 criminal ghosts that were given the electric chair)
  • The Time Machine (either version)
  • Tommy Boy
  • Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

I left out most anything that was primarily action. IDK where I'd draw the line at family friendly. Something like The Matrix is just violence but didn't seem family friendly to me. There would be a ton more if I included movies like that though.

You could just be done with Lemmy forever. I don't think we'll miss you.

Finally getting a look at all the docs that "never existed." Or were they sitting on Pam Bondi's desk this whole time? Hard to keep track of their lies.

I doubt we'll ever see ALL the files. All the damning ones will have been left out. Well, damning to Republicans anyway.

 

I don't know how, but it seems like every update they have for this app on the FireTV is worse than it was before. They at least seem to have fixed issues they had with streams messing up while playing, but now they mess up the status of shows. It first started with them not always updating the status of the show when a new season started. And today, literally every show on my watch list says there is a new episode. Including ones that completed ages ago, like Naruto.

This is ridiculous. IDK why this platform is so difficult for them when every other platform I've used this on works exactly as I expect.
