Press Pause

In 2013, I had an idea to start a blog containing screenshots of every awkward freeze frame image that occurred when I pressed the pause button. I’m a little late getting started, but here we go...

Shots like this are the reason I wanted to start this blog in the first place. I came home to see this paused on the screen. The look on Ross’s face, Rachel’s ass taking up a quarter of the frame, the subtitles leaving me wondering what the hell is going on.

Its also nice that there’s the show, episode, and timestamp so anyone can go back and figure out exactly what’s up. It’s too bad that Netflix won’t let me screenshot—I had to take a picture of the TV and that left a bit of a glare from the blinds.

“The bone saw”

This movie was great, but I really needed to pause and get some Cheetos.

Two great shots from Silver Linings Playbook. Check out the expression on Jennifer Lawrence’s face!  Amazing image fidelity courtesy of Netflix. 

I guess I’ll be taking pictures with my phone from here on out.

I’ve been trying to watch this movie for 2 weeks in intervals of no more than 20 minutes at a time. I have no idea what’s going on, or if I even like the movie. Having kids makes the simplest things impossible.
