I literally just harumphed!

Well... yes and no.

No. It is anti-art.

Harumph

Walt & El Grupo is a good, if slight, documentary about how the US sent Walt Disney to Central an dSouth America as an ambassador so the region wouldn’t align with Nazis. The strongmen there were looking at Hitler and saying “you know, that model kinda works...”
It leads into the creation of Saludos Amigos and The…

With all that on Fox you’d think that Are You Hot or Not? in which Lorenzo Llamas used a laser pointer to highlight the flaws on bikini clad people’s bodies would be there, but that was ABC.

That guy who said “I don’t know how to regulate it so they can ever get it under control... you know getting hit by someone who’s driving drunk or shootings...”

I mean, I can come up with a few ideas there but they’d involve the enforcement of things like gun control, banning open containers of alcohol on the beach and…

This is somewhat valit for Millennials and up, but for Gen-Z some of it has to do with life experience. If someone had played “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of Company B”or “West End Blues” for me when I was 15 I’d have rolled my eyes. As I grew I gained more experience and appreciation for forms of music outside me and my…

SNL has started doing it on YouTube. They call it “Behind the Sketch.” They’ve done one for Diner Lobster, Hobbit Office, and the Joker parody where it’s Oscar the Grouch.

Well let’s look at other shows. The Twilight Zone casts almost just as long a shadow. While it lacks the shock that they provided when they first aired and modern audiences might see some of the acting as corny there is no real argument that episodes like Nightmare at 20,000 Feet and It’s a Good Life are some of the…

Crystal Bernard is underrated.  She had a very nice TV career in the 80's and 90's. She starred on It’s a Living, which was part of the first run syndicated comedy boom of the mid 80's. It’s move from network to syndication and lead the way for more popular shows like Charles in Charge, Too Close for Comfort, Mamma’s…

He’ has always had an on point whisper. Shy Ronnie. Speak up!

I basically spent my adolescence in my bedroom wondering what the cool kids were doing. Later, at a reunion, I found out that they were mostly hanging out in their bedrooms wondering what the other cool kids were doing.  When they did go out they were home by 10:30.

‘Cause you start out stealing songs
Then you’re robbing liquor stores
And selling crack
And running over school kids with your car

Yes, but they are also no more than provocation. Great art can provoke without having to settle for crass tricks. Take Sara Lucas for example. Piss Christ only works because it’s Serano. That makes it a provocation and not exactly art. Serano can, and does, do much much better than that.

That would be Jay’s Journal. It’s still available but you’ll probably have to order it from your local bookstore. A book that shows the truth about the boy, real name Aiden, was published around 1997. Spoiler: there is very little in Jay’s Journal that is factual. Aiden suffered from deep depression. She took about…

The Lighthouse - Enjoy a movie about two men going crazy in isolation...

Jack Arnold had a great career. He was among the best B Movie directors for hire and at his peak would direct 4 films a year. When that work ended he became one of the great journeyman TV directors. His ability to turn around scripts quickly in different genres and with style served him well there.

His TV credits are a…

Possibly the best thing I’ve heard in this, the worst timeline.
(I didn’t get a Community notification for this?   Anyone... Anyone?)

It doesn’t make a lot of sense, but...
