An old ad clipping for a prank item.
It includes a cartoon of an angry looking middle-aged man in golf shorts, cleats, barely fitting t-shirt and baseball cap standing near a hole on a golf court, breaking a golf club over his knee, as two fellow golfers look at him with disgust and anger. In the top corner is a close-up of a hand tightening the bolt on a new stick being inserted in the club's iron.
It's accompanied by the ad's text:

«Mad, Mad, Mad Putter

The Greatest Golf Gag Ever!

Go ahead lose your "cool." Why hold it in after you've missed that 12-incher? Now you can break that blasted putter over your knee, get the frustration out of your system, and at the same time pull a heck of a gag on your partners. After you've staged your wild antics and your buddies are coming down on you, you simply reach into your bag, pull out a new wood shaft, replace the broken one in seconds - and you're ready to putt again. YOU FEEL BETTER. Your partners' reactions are unpredictable, but some of the ones we've seen include: shock; outrage, disgust; bewilderment. Then everything ends up with a good laugh. Each standard length putter has a professional head & grip. Packaged with 10 genuine beautifully finished wooden shafts. Additional shafts available. Sensational gift.

@woozle reminds me of this #comic

#DescribedMedia #imageDescription

4 panel cartoon by Cassandra Calin, titled "What a millennial's mid-life crisis looks like"

• A living room crowded with plants, with a person putting another plant onto the (also rather filled) window sill. The person looks quite content.
• A person carrying a box with a brand new air-fryer. They look very happy with their purchase.
• The same person running a half marathon. They look very exhausted, red in the face, and sweaty. Their legs are trembling from exertion. In the background amongst the cheering crowd, hand-held signs can be seen with "Let's Go!!!" and "Therapy was also an option".
• The final frame has the same person in bed telling their partner "Let's go to Japan!"

If a film isn't intended to be a radio drama, it seems reasonable for viewers to expect on-screen visuals to be … y'know, like … *visible.*

Also: I have NO idea why this happens, but different #streamingServices can also make a big difference in visual intelligibility.

I've watched The Finest Hours (2016) on multiple services. It takes place mostly in the dark on a stormy ocean. One service shows this as black on black movement. Another shows everything going on in these scenes, albeit in a dark environment.
