Re: Currently watching.
She's never accused me of ruining music for her (not that I can recall) but I get that with tv or a movie. I'll just be making observations, inserting my own dialogue and she'll hit pause and say, "Is that the way this is going to go?"JennyB wrote: ↑20 Mar 2023, 11:30amThat's how I am with VH.

Re: Currently watching.
Watched the first episode of Lucky Hank this evening, a horribly retitled adaptation of Richard Russo's brilliant comedic novel Straight Man. Bob Odenkirk plays a literature prof at a shitty college going thru a midlife/mid-career crisis. It works even better if you're familiar with the idiocy of college politics, but it's funny even outside that. Highly highly highly recommend the original novel.

Re: Currently watching.
Both, but so far the novel is much better (to be fair, the novel is one of the funniest things I’ve ever read, so that’s not a mark against the adaptation). And, well, it is just one episode in. If you liked Nobody’s Fool, that’s Russo’s kind of humour.revbob wrote: ↑20 Mar 2023, 9:03pmSo are you recommending the book, the show, neither or both?Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑20 Mar 2023, 8:27pmWatched the first episode of Lucky Hank this evening, a horribly retitled adaptation of Richard Russo's brilliant comedic novel Straight Man.

Re: Currently watching.
I can bite my tongue on almost anything, except stuff in the true crime genre (and following court cases as "news" and whatnot). I find all that stuff genuinely horrible and antisocial and it has negative consequences on how my wife feels about being in the world (i.e. Greatly increasing how unsafe she feels to be out and about). Following salacious murder cases and stuff has always been an idiotic part of our media landscape, but the reinforcing ecosystem of streaming documentaries, podcasts, national news coverage, etc. has just amped all this stuff even further. I truly hate it.
My mother in law just marinates herself in that stuff and I at least try to encourage my wife to keep ithat stuff, and her, a little at arms length following these things.

Re: Currently watching.
I watch true crime "documentaries" every so often, but I totally get what you mean. I have a limit to how much I can handle because I'll start seeing serial killers behind every bush or something. My interests usually involve cults and family situations, but I can't watch the guys who just see a girl in Target, comment on her nice legs, follow her outside, drag her into the woods and rape/murder her. That was one I watched a long time ago. Scared me for years. That was the last time I watched shows like that because that stuff will eat your brain parts. I'll stick with my cults.Flex wrote: ↑21 Mar 2023, 11:30amI can bite my tongue on almost anything, except stuff in the true crime genre (and following court cases as "news" and whatnot).

Re: Currently watching.
Yeah, the missus is much the same. At least when I watch horror movies, it's all so obviously ridiculous that it doesn't really freak me out in real life. It's funny, the missus can't really do horror movies (although we've found some stuff we mutually enjoy over the years), but it's the true crime stuff that I'm squeamish about. I just can't handle taking that stuff as entertainment and it doesn't make me feel like I've gained a better understanding of the world around me, like you'd want from say a documentary or whatever. As I said, I think there are bad effects to it, but I listen to oi music so obviously people should like what they like.Mimi wrote: ↑21 Mar 2023, 11:57amI watch true crime "documentaries" every so often, but I totally get what you mean.

Re: Currently watching.
The one with the kid? Yeah, that seemed like filler.
I also felt bad for the baby monsters at the end.

So this isn't the first time? You chase after it with your silly jet packs knowing it can just keep flying long after you run out of fuel? And you haven't figured out maybe you should have some people on the lookout to blast the fucking thing before it takes another kid ? And at the start of the episode most of them are just blasting the shit out of nothing. And realistically speaking why would you think the kid would still be alive a day later?
