What are you watching?

[Randy]

I'm about to call it a night. I just got finished watching three episodes of The Tick on Amazon Prime Video. The pilot I watched yesterday and wasn't sure I'd watch anymore. But I was told it was right up my alley so I watched some more. It's getting better.

Tomorrow I may binge watch a few episodes.

Elaine and  have been binge watching Roku, serial dramas.  Ozarks, Virgin River.......no satisfactory denouement..., and Breaking Bad which I have never watched before.  Seems like Walt is in deep shit despite his best intentions to be a good guy.

I'm watching a thing about ancient Egypt on Prime video. It's good. Well-made, well-narrated, pretty balanced from what I can tell (They have not yet presented speculation as accepted fact... I think) Yeah... I approve.

That's good. I was watching something about the pyramids on the History Channel some fifteen plus years ago. I worked from home so when I was done, I'd turn on the TV. My wife worked in an office.

It was a two hour documentary and I was engrossed in it. My wife comes home and asks, "What is this &$*@?" and immediately changes the TV to America's Got Talent or something like that. I put my coat on and went downstairs to work on my Mindstorms robot. We were heading for a divorce anyway when she started introducing my kids to her new boyfriend.

Oh, wow! If any-one ever wonders why I'm so happily-single, the remote privileges are one of the top... 10... No, 5... Top 3 reasons.

Most people in my generation are unhealthily-fascinated with Japan (Which, speaking of Prime Video, James May - Our Man in Japan is a cool, light-hearted series. I recommend) me, I'm far more interested in ancient Egypt, Sumeria and Rome than I am in ninjas and samurai.

everybody has a different life, but im always bemused by "what people are watching." i haven't had a television set in my life in over thirty years, and i cant watch them anymore. i can sit in front of one for a half hour or so and then i have to get up and leave to go do something else. not necessarily anything worthwhile, just something else.

on rare occasions i can sit still long enough to watch a movie or an episode of something my family is watching. maybe two or three times a year.

i don't have any problems with video screens, as i have one in front of me now. but sitting still to observe a story being played is beyond my patience. stage productions are the same way.

but a concert i wouldn't have a problem with, although there aren't any orchestras within  seventy miles.

i wonder how i got rewired. wasn't always that way.

Given the choices I would be too. I enjoy a good thought provoking documentary over samurais and ninjas any day. I just never got into any of it for some reason.

I used to watch more TV than I do now. I used to read more too. Maybe I'm devolving.

[Randy]

I used to watch less TV than I do now. I think I only turned it on in the weekends downstairs with pizza and beer. I liked to do a lot of things and there simply wasn't time for television.

i was a child in the philippines when animated cartoons for kids were still silent-- just a musical track. steamboat willie stuff.

my own kids grew up without a television set and found programming stressful when they watched them in motels while we travelled.

i remember once they were watching a three stooges comedy that had curly, larry, and moe being left behind on a train platform when the train left, because they were late.

my kids were so stressed they burst into tears.

[Randy]

Does anyone remember Saturday morning cartoons? They may have only had those in the US.

I just watched 3 movies: The Expendables, The Expendables 2, The Expendables 3.



I think I can die in peace now.

I've been watching Upload. Only one season has been made so far. I should finish it tonight.

I've been watching Idiocrazy. A fairly decent comedy and social satire. I would give it 6/10 points.

That film is a guilty pleasure of mine.
