TV: what have you been watching? - Page 135 - The Lounge Discussion and Review on Literature, Arts, Culture

Believe it or not, there are millions of millennials and zoomers that have never actually heard much or any of the music produced by the great bands of the 60's and 70's, including The Beatles. Just like there were many among my contemporaries (those born 1960 - 1970) who had not even a faint idea who Louis Armstrong was and knew (and know to this day) very little about Big Band music, Jazz, or folk music.

most of it is faked and exaggerated in my opinion

things like "professional voice coaches" reacting to songs every person on earth has heard at least 100 times and pretending to be unfamiliar with it

i'd appreciate it more if they just called it what it really was, analysis, but for whatever reason "reaction" is the zeitgeist so they dress up the analysis as a reaction

I agree completely and have complained/posted about this before. I like analysis, and I like channels like Every Frame a Painting or Kogonada's film analysis before he made his own movies.

But somebody reacting to "Stairway to Heaven" like they have been living under a rock for thirty years. Just go ahead and analyze it.

I finished it and was a little disappointed with the ending. But that fifth episode was pretty horrifying.

I knew I should've given up on 3 Body Problem after the first episode...what a waste of time that was. Apparently this show cost $20m per episode, and I have to wonder where that money went. It certainly wasn't on competent actors lol. Even a lot of the cgi felt cheap. I have to think the showrunners pocketed a huge chunk of it, otherwise I just don't get it.

adjusted for inflation the '83 main event with 108 runners would have a $31k buy in with almost $1.7 to the winner

Stealing traffic cones and selling them in order to gamble, causing a major traffic jam and his girlfriend to fall down a hole in the road, breaking both her legs, and thinking that's funny. What a horrible person.

2nd Task had me rolling. Shaping up to be a great series

It would be cool if they could get some more American comedians on there.

I have been enjoying Apples Never Fall, which is playing up here in Canada on the W Network. It is well written and has a fine cast featuring Annette Benning and Sam Neil.

However, I find myself frustrated by the fact that I cannot binge watch the series; rather I have to wait a week for the next episode. I fear my viewing habits have been corrupted by the streaming age.

watched all three seasons of Mr. In-Between. Helluva a show and a helluva tour-de-force from writer/creator/star Scott Ryan. This guy came out of nowhere, huh? What a presence.

Not sure I loved it, though, as it is very violent and the lead character of Ray is pretty amoral. Well-made, tho.
