May. 17th, 2019 09:36 pm1. Funeral was moving and inspiring. I cried through most of it, and for about an hour afterwards, took a break, ate dinner, watched the soap and then cried through most of 9-1-1. Ugh.
It was a funeral of a long-time civil rights activist. ( Read more... )
2. This is hilarious.
Game of Thrones Petition to Remake Season 8
I don't know, I was fine up until episode 4. If they could just redo 4-6 and add in about three more episodes...
But honestly, it's too late. Also not everyone agrees. Although...I learned long ago if 75%-80% of your audience was horrified or did not buy the narrative, then your narrative failed.
This is actually a good lesson for all writers out there. While it is a good idea to ignore the reader/audience when writing something, at the same time, you can't ignore them completely. It's like manufacturing a car that someone buys, if the brakes fail, they are going to be upset. Okay, that may not be the best analogy.

I've decided not to watch it on Sunday and wait maybe until next weekend or for Monday. I'm not staying up late again to watch a show that's going to annoy me.
I'll get spoiled first, then watch it, fully prepared to be disappointed.
3. Other television shows..
Grey's Anatomy -- Ugh. Just Ugh.
( Spoilers )
* 9-1-1 -- much better show, and more realistic, not to mention satisfying.
I cried during it. I like how all the characters help each other, and are kind.
And the message is community, being kind, saving one another, and not giving into hate.
It's sort of the anti-Tim Minear/Ryan Murphy/Brad Falchuck series, yet that's who is producing it. Wonky, I know. The formerly dark as shit story writers, are writing an uplifting procedural, with a diverse cast. It's the exact opposite of Nip/Tuck and well everything else they've done, except for the socially progressive message.
Oh, and Charisma Carpenter had a cameo as a race car drivers wife. She has aged, yet her boobs seem to have become bigger somehow and her face tighter.

This is brilliant in how they are telling it. The narrative is innovative and compelling as a result of how they are conveying it, not the material itself -- which is typical.
