Life in Hi-Def
My parents went out, and after years of me begging, finally got an HDTV. The only problem is it's in their bedroom, meaning I have to pounce to watch certain programs. I also have to navigate around my sister's constant need to fill the entire screen, even if it means fucking the aspect ratio. A part of me thinks she does it to annoy me. So, non-spoiler-ey things I noticed while watching HD tonight.
-- Hugh Laurie looks amazing in HD, part of me worried he would look old or tired. I have nothing to worry about. His eyes are the deepest shade of blue I have ever seen. I could get lost in those eyes.
-- Jesse Spencer looks even more amazing with all the extra detail. His hair shines more, his smile looks brighter... He looks so much more alive.
-- Jennifer Morrison has flawless skin. I could not believe how perfect she is. Jesse you lucky guy. Did I mention they're my OTP? (random note, I looked her up on Wikipedia to spell her name properly, and I read she named Battlestar Galactica as one of her favorite shows. Wouldn't have guessed that. Double that, I went to look at Jesse's wikipedia page, and BSG is one of his favorite shows too. Hee!)
-- Heroes just looks amazing.
-- Hayden has great hair.
-- Zachary Quinto has some massive eyebrows. Those things creeped me out. Now I get why Sylar is so evil.
-- Mmm. Milo... Mmmm.
-- I found the Mac/PC commercials even funnier in Hi-Def (yes they're broadcast in HD).
-- Elizabethtown was almost watchable, and I was almost able to stomach Orlando's bizarre American accent. (He looked pretty FYI)
Expect more mindless musings as I watch more and more of my shows in HD. Expect thoughts about American Idol, The Office, Lost, and Grey's Anatomy.
