Jim Jones Effect

Just like Jim Jones, Donald Trump has the power to do anything legal or illegal and his supporters will continue to back him up regardless of any consequences they may face just to protect their leader.

soap opera effect

A term used to describe the hyper-realistic look of video content that can occur due to high frame rates or certain video processing settings, making everything appear overly smooth and artificial—similar to the visual style of daytime soap operas. This effect can detract from the intended cinematic experience.

I recently picked up all five seasons of The Twilight Zone on Blu-ray. It had been remastered in HD producing a crystal clear and perfect picture, but it was too clean. It was noticeable the show was filmed on a set and at times gave a 'soap opera effect'.

the basketball diary effect

When something is recommended to you repeatedly, so much so that it puts you off said thing forever.
