This is a normal post Is it because it seems a waste when you scale these shitty cameraphone videos to watch on your 300 inch wall-mounted LED tv?
otherwise I wonder why anyone would give the slightest fuck?
photographers make choices to film in landscape or portrait. Once the need to fill up the entire monitor becomes less important, as it does with lower-res cameraphone videos that don't scale well anyway, now that videographer have the choice and not the limitation, why can't they exercise it?
For example, filming a vertical staircase naturally lends itself to portrait as there is more visual information on the vertical axis

All that extra 'vertical resolution' is wasted because it is scaled down to fit into a viewable window on a computer screen.
You are simply left with dead screen space to the left and right for no reason.

Vertical videos are only 'OK' if they're watched on a phone or handheld device, where you can actually hold the screen vertically and you make the most of those screens' limited resolution.

I'll still silently judge the person though.

I love old London stuff. Great city.

This is always worth a revisit, London just before it lost all its horrible, decaying, wonderful, poignant past. Also featuring the poshest Yorkshire socialist of the last 100 years,and a bit of a hero of mine.

It could be that he's better looking, younger, has more hair, has probably had more sex in the last few weeks than I've had in my lifetime, is naturally funnier, is richer, and has had a more privilege start in life.

I'm not sure which irks me the most to be honest, so I just pretend I don't find him funny.

(, Mon 14 Jan 2013, 14:23, , Reply)
This is a normal post
I've spent more time pondering why I dislike him so much than I'm comfortable admitting.

I've accepted that a part of it is simple envy, but I think that much of it is this: I go to a fair bit of stand-up, mostly up-and-comers or people I've never/barely heard of.

Much of it is awful, some of it is okay, and every now and again you see someone who genuinely gets you excited about comedy again. One consistently depressing observation though, even at iconic clubs like Up The Creek, is how universally uncritical the crowds are. Contrary to popular belief, comedy audiences are some of the least discerning people around. The last ten years has seen stand-up become more mainstream in terms of popularity, and whether this has caused a larger, less critical audience or is an effect of it, I can't say.

What I can say is that you really don't have to be very good to make it, as long as you're confident and signpost where the laughs are expected as crudely as possible. Stand-up is now a short cut to TV, and as such scouts are looking for acts very similar to those that currently populate the panel shows. Mock the Week is a perfect example of the sort of bland, safe dross they are after, which is why a budding comedian these days is sadly well-advised to not try to be 'too different.' Paul Foot is a terrific stand-up, but he can't crack TV because commisioners/producers lack the imagination/wit to know what to do with him.

The BBC will bite your hand off if you tick the diversity/inclusion box, which is why Citizen Khan gets made even though it's not very good. Omid Djallili (sp.?) is no doubt a nice guy, but funny? Really? Stephen K Amos, black and gay for sure, but making a living out of comedy?

Anyway, this has clearly strayed from why I hate Jack Whitehall, other than he's a product of the modern factory-built safe, lowbrow observational school of insipid comedy. Plus, his dad is 'in the biz' and his uncle or godfather or something is Nigel fucking Havers. So something tells me JW didn't have to hope he would 'get spotted' whilst giging 3 spots a night for the love of it.


TLDR: I am bitter.

I'd get so pissed off about the attention. You go to Church and there's loads of people waiting to watch you go in and out, cheering you and stuff. Then they make a big joke about the fact your car doesn't start and it ends up on BBC News.

If I was the Queen, I'd have got my chauffeur to drive past them slowly, I'd have wound down the window, and I'd have shouted 'Get a fucking life you sad cunts'.
