Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Oh my gosh, I'm tired just thinking about all that cooking. I can just about handle making the meals right before eating them. If I had to cook them all at once we'd be eating a lot more take out.
Franny's asleep now. She looks like an angel when she's asleep. Isaac isn't asleep yet because he has this new habit of trying to stay awake as long as possible, but dad's in the room putting on his soporific mojo.
Did anyone else watch Mansfield Park tonight? Am I alone in thinking it really boring and weird with total charisma vacuums instead of actors?
Haven't watched it yet, but I think that Fanny Price and fuddy duddy Edmund are pretty tough sells when it comes to charisma. The movie version of MP basically did a full personality swap on Fanny, and really I could hardly blame them.
Me, I can't get past the idea of casting Billie Piper as Fanny Price. I mean, what on earth were they thinking?
Well, I Tivoed it, we shall see.
Just realized that the cable's gone wonky. again. It did it this morning and didn't record something else.
Yeah, I'll be checking it out later this week. Currently burning off an episode of Mission: Impossible.
You know what they didn't get in 1969? As retold by my extensive survey of Mission: Impossible and Stark Trek? Data on screens. They print on paper, they punch out on cards, they flash lights. But they don't have dynamically generated words on screens.
Kinda weird to look back on high tech shows lacking that, giving the ubiquity of readouts these days.
My left arm is randomly jacked up. Scratches, blisters, bruises, burns. Not sure what's up with that. I think it's off having a life from which the rest of me isn't benefitting.
hmm. It might be partying with my upper-left thigh.
ita, I'm sure it has a lot to do with the relative small budgets for TV SFX at the time, and the lack of computing power to do it with, but then there's also the lack of imagination/experience to prevent them from thinking outside the box they knew. I know the first couple 'computers' I saw -- early 70s -- had telephonic modems (the handset actually placed in a cradle) and no screens -- the printer output was your feedback.
On the other hand, I'm OOOOOLD. Although, at least I was under 10 when TOS started up.
Did you all check out the Google logo this morning?
