shadowkat1. Ugh, I meant to work on my novel tonight and got distracted by social media (Twitter and FB). And then got irritated by it. I need to take a hiatus from it (well except for the GH fan board which is a lovely place). Also I really do not like Twitter. It's basically people yelling at each other twenty-four/seven. Outside of the Dali Lama, I don't really like anyone. I feel like I'm back in high school.
(As an aside, really glad this wasn't available when I was in high school - I'm not sure I'd have survived. My niece is on snapchat, apparently no one in college or high school does Twitter or FB any longer - they all do snapchat. That's hilarious.

Eh, they appear to still be pushing the Dex/Grey ship, and have killed the Hoffman/Dex ship. I'm annoyed. I preferred the Hoffman/Dex to Grey/Dex, although not fond of either.
I did however like tonight's episode in spite of myself. A little disappointed...the story thread feels a bit...cliche. But, I like Dex and found her interactions with both the guy from Afghanistan and Sue Lynn Blackbird interesting.
The rest of it felt rather boilerplate to me, unfortunately.

Re: Diagetic vs. Non-Diagetic
Date: 2020-03-08 01:40 pm (UTC)Most people wouldn't notice it. Of course I'm not that sensitive to audio clues generally speaking and I took courses in film, music and television analysis/criticism in college, visual yes, audio no. Unless of course it is truly overkill - like Grey's Anatomy (which no one minds obviously since it's still at the top of the ratings) or jarring like Emma - which no one minded either.
That's the problematic nature of film, book, music, and art criticism - it's well subjective and personal. What bothers one person another loves. Often times the critic will tell us more about themselves than the work -- so as a result, I've no clue if I want to actually experience the work or not - that's the other problematic nature of reviewing.
I mean I may hate what they are doing, but obviously other's don't. I'm still confused that Last Jedi got an Oscar nomination for best film editing.
