WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW?

(ok, granted, that's across two monitors)
Would you actually watch a movie split across those two screens?

and since this thread still needs videos:

Disney Princess Spring Breakers Trailer from College Humor
 
16:10 screens are more square than 16:9, and thus will show letterboxing, not pillarboxing, when displaying widescreen movies or television. There aren't many cases when widescreen content is going to displayed on a screen with pillarboxing present (and the only one I can think of would be one of the rare 21:9 aspect ratio televisions).
Sorry, you are correct. A 16:10 monitor is proportionally narrower than a 16:9 monitor, not the other way around.
Still, knowing the position of ThatNickGuy 's black bars should help us troubleshoot his movie problems.

His problem is he thinks his whole screen should be in use at all times, if I read it correctly.
 
The black bars are on the top and bottom. And it's not really a big issue for me. Not even something I raise a fuss about because I'm happy enough to watch and enjoy the movie. It's just one of those noticeable things that I never understood.
 
I really like David Angelo.
I'd never heard of him. I love the dry, monotone wit he adds in, completely casually. I'm watching everything on the channel now and he closes on show with a line like "Now, I know that everyone's saying rates will stay low and deficit spending is a good thing, but the thing about that is, everybody is an idiot."

Your easy-to-follow video guide to SLEEPING IN THE DOGHOUSE FOREVER, JERK

(oh my god, the noises she makes.. like an asthmatic donkey with an air leak... ha ha ha ha)

 
Two of my favourite episodes from The Muppet Show.

If they've been posted here already, too bad. Yer watching 'em again.
 
I know I'm a bit late on this, since this has been viral for a while, but this video of Dustin Hoffman talking about beauty, pressure, assumptions and his experience seeing himself as "Tootsie" is just... It's amazing.

 


Belgian and awesome. I don't know why, but I *vastly* prefer French lanuage rapping over English language rapping. Perhaps because most French rap songs I've heard actually have great lyrics, or perhaps because the language just flows better in my mind, I don't know.

I do quite like a lot of Stromae...
