Netflix streaming: still frames from a different movie?
« on: July 25, 2012, 07:25:16 pm »
I was watching The Call of the Wild, and somewhere around 1:14:00 some action erupts.  I miss it, so I decide to hit the rewind button.  Low and behold, the frames shown are from an entirely different movie.  I've not seen this before.  Is it common for Netflix to mess this up?  How does it even get messed up?  I always thought I was actually scanning through the movie file but apparently it's an entirely separate batch of still frames pegged to moments in the flick you're watching.  Makes sense from a speed standpoint I guess.
My daughter thought it weird that all of a sudden the still frames showed some man and woman in a less than prudish encounter.  Ooops.
Bringing to life a child's imagination.

Narrator: Tyler was a night person. While the rest of us were sleeping, he worked. He had one part time job as a projectionist. See, a movie doesn't come all on one big reel. It comes on a few. So someone has to be there to switch the projectors at the exact moment that one reel ends and the next one begins. If you look for it, you can see these little dots come into the upper right-hand corner of the screen.

Tyler Durden: In the industry, we call them "cigarette burns."

Narrator: That's the cue for a changeover. He flips the projectors, the movie keeps right on going, and nobody in the audience has any idea.

Tyler Durden: Why would anyone want this ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- job?

Narrator: Because it affords him other interesting opportunities.

Tyler Durden: Like splicing single frames of pornography into family films.

Just go to your account page, under "recently watched" and report it.
NO MORE!!
