watched "Technicolor Dream" last night and really liked it. Mostly about the early years of Pink Floyd but also the underground in London in the sixties, the UFO club, the beats at the royal albert hall etc.

he is interviewed fairly heavily in the film. there is some great floyd footage. pretty things also featured a bit. roger waters being a dick saying things like "i just wanted to get rich and fuck girls." and "i don't remember the london free school or any of that underground stuff.."

I've been wrestling for awhile with whether I would get happiness from rewatching the first, say, 3 seasons of bsg. Or if the last season retroactively skunked the whole thing. Man I loved that show for awhile.
― 2 huxtables and a sousaphone (Jon Lewis), Monday, 10 June 2013 16:42 (ten years ago) link
i think that show might have changed my life in some way.
― scott seward, Monday, 10 June 2013 16:43 (ten years ago) link
it had a profound effect on me anyway.
― scott seward, Monday, 10 June 2013 16:44 (ten years ago) link
i still can't watch the prequel show. it just seems wrong somehow. knowing what i know.
More or less agree.

many xposts: no ISB content in the film iirc.
currently watching season 1 episode 4 of kids in the hall.. it's a real good episode.

Skot, I watched that whole series! Long-something. Longmire? Loved it even as I rolled my eyes.

my kids are stuck in the store all day cuz maria has jury duty any offbeat kid suggestions. they have seen so much netflix stuff already....don't judge us. they aren't really into anime. feel like that's an untapped thing. they like the moving castle dude, of course.
and they have no interest in superheroes! don't know how that happened. it wasn't anything i said...
― scott seward, Thursday, 13 June 2013 16:08 (ten years ago) link
think they are watching malcolm in the middle right now. that will probably hold them anyway.

we just finished season 7 of gilmore girls the other night. don't know how many 10 and 8 year old boys would want to watch 7 seasons of GG. i like to think they're special. took us awhile to do it. we would have binges. i kinda want to watch bad news bears with them tonight.

Did they watch Adventure Time yet?
― Evan, Thursday, 13 June 2013 16:30 (ten years ago) link
i asked. cyrus loves it. rufus not so much.
― scott seward, Thursday, 13 June 2013 16:32 (ten years ago) link
cyrus watched a 6-part series on the history of animals on earth going back to the beginning of time. cgi extinct beasts and all that. bbc thing? pretty cool!
― scott seward, Thursday, 13 June 2013 16:33 (ten years ago) link
iirc the Nature episode on best animal friends in on netflix

REGULAR SHOW
― i didn't even give much of a fuck that you were mod (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 13 June 2013 16:36 (ten years ago) link
rufus says he hates regular show and that its not as good as adventure time and that it's not very inventive or creative. i've never seen it. i am a lover of chowder and courage the cowardly dog. and flapjack. i think those three are three of the best shows i've ever seen. kid or not kid.
― scott seward, Thursday, 13 June 2013 16:50 (ten years ago) link
i only feel a little guilty about how much t.v. they've watched when i think of how many times they have seen every futurama episode. oof. but i probably saw every i love lucy episode 50 times by the time i was ten.
― scott seward, Thursday, 13 June 2013 16:52 (ten years ago) link
Regular show is a constantly repeated pattern, basically. 100+ variations on the same story. In that way, I could see it being "not creative", but it usually develops that story in a weird and fun way. Definitely not as expansive as Adventure Time, but it still has more likeable characters than most kids TV.
― how's life, Thursday, 13 June 2013 17:00 (ten years ago) link
i love regular shows vacillation between mundane just-out-of-college soul crushing frustration and the flights of magic realism.also the dopey meme humor shit and heavy last syllable inflection.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmceJic1JhU

This is how I feel about Adventure Time 100%...
Though stay far away from the later episodes that focus on backstory, (most) with a relationship arc, or otherwise any attempting to overemphasize character development of any kind.
The rest are highly recommended.
― Evan, Thursday, 13 June 2013 17:09 (ten years ago) link
reglar show's an acquired taste. also a stupid one. but i like it.

I really struggled with Venture Bros. Supposedly it gets better (in the seasons they don't have on Netflix)?
― Chuck_Tatum, Thursday, 13 June 2013 17:21 (ten years ago) link
cyrus otm. sad but true: adventure time is the only TV show I go out of my way to watch.
― truth bomb lawyer mean mean pride (Edward III), Thursday, 13 June 2013 17:23 (ten years ago) link
sometimes it gets so sick & loopy it's on a jodorowsky/lynch level of wtf, and I'm like how is this even pop culture. but it's also sweet & funny, not just weird for weird's sake.

i enjoyed it from the jump, but it def gets better over time. less parodic joke, more long haul funny. it's actually got a pretty deep story arc, and they never drop that really, which for cartoon (esp adult swim) is crazy rare. it makes most scripted sitcoms look really really lazy tbh.

Only season 1 is on Netflix, right? We watched it a couple of months ago, got to the Easy Rider cliffhanger and went "NOOOOO" when there wasn't any more available.
― Home Despot (WilliamC), Thursday, 13 June 2013 17:48 (ten years ago) link
adventure time's weirdness just doesn't click for me, feels too mannered.

― polyphonic, Thursday, 13 June 2013 19:09 (ten years ago) link
there's a lot of gold in adventure time even still. the show hit a mature stride in S2 & S3, you should def give it another shot, H4A. some of the best are the non-finn eps, like "thank you", which is funny and heartbreaking and possessed of intrinsic goodness: https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=224753127596024
― truth bomb lawyer mean mean pride (Edward III), Thursday, 13 June 2013 21:31 (ten years ago) link
also I'm not a regular show hater, it's entertaining. but post-college was a long time ago for me. plus the art & design in adventure time are kind of incredible.

i think adventure time is starting to get back to its old groove! the last few episodes have been less back-story, more fun odd adventures.

I don't get the "backstory eps are bad" line of thinking, the ones with ice king & marceline are great
