Quote from: Frood on November 30, 2023, 10:32:25 PMI just watch classics and trace the credits for names, then search out other movies I've never seen or heard of before.

It centres me... if only for a couple of hours... and after every year of watching 100's of older movies, perhaps closer to a thousand, I'm okay with rewatching some of them whether intended or not... because you get different perspectives each time and after hundreds or thousands, you've virtually forgotten about the movies until you try again.

I like that. It honours my lineages.
I get that by watching Blakes 7. Same under-funded cheesy production values as the classic Doctor Who series, better looking spaceships and now that I look back on it 40 years later, far more prophetic about the direction the human race was headed in, given the authoritarian control over the Federation as practiced by Jacqueline Pearce's character Servelan and the practice of drugging the population to keep them docile and ignorant.

And sending in the stormtroopers to blast and beat the utter shit out of anyone that got out of line, which kind of reminds me a lot about Victoria Australia nowadays.

Quote from: Aylana on November 30, 2023, 12:18:42 PMYou can not escape the all encompassing inclusivity anywhere...you have one commercial with some old lady who looks like Margaret Thatcher's spitting image puppet in bed with a black man that resembles Suge Knight talking about fucking Cheerios. The couples in commercials are Asians married to black guys, a white fit guy married to a fat, Danny DeVito looking slob...it's an alternate reality created by Hollywood. Even in a bloody short horror story I read the author made a big point of letting everyone know the main character was a lesbian even though it had nothing to do with the plot of the story. The only way to watch anything free from this insanity is to watch the original shows on DVD...they also have some cable channels that show old stuff mostly like Bonanza, ect. 95% of the current tv/movies are shit and not worth watching.

I will say season 6 of Black Mirror was good and did not have the usual ideological anal raping that is ubiquitous these days.
I am watching fewer American movies and shows and more shit from Poland.

I met that guy when I was about ten, right around the time of peak viwership for the series. Eight years and three regenerations later and the series had bombed in the ratings to levels that wouldn't be repeated until the wokels got their hooks into it and started destroying the canon "because inclusivity" and "empowered wammyn" etc.

Short sightedness on the Beeb's part when you consider that the series had no shortage of such characters during its run. Companions like Leela and Romana (the latter of whom was Tom Baker's intellectual and regenerative superior) are good examples and speak to a time when scriptwriters were capable of telling a reasonably decent story, instead of pissing all over the franchise like some mongrel dog with terminal incontinence.

I watched some of the new revamped series, it's had its moments sure, introduced a few adversaries which have shown some thought has gone into them, but it's never quite managed to equal the success of the classic series. And that shit was done on a shoestring budget and without the benefit of CGI, making the classic series all the more remarkable a feat to my mind.

I haven't caught a full episode since the eleventh Doctor, just snippets here and there. Enough to know the series has gone to total shit again and is deserving of getting flushed with extreme prejudice.

Sorry to anyone who was actually expecting a return to original DR. Who that was so fun and entertaining from the 1960's to the end of the Matt Smith run in 2011. Nope...instead it's more political messaging and endless virtue signaling...it seems no longer possible to create or continue an already established show without bending viewers over and ass raping them with political ideology then having the chutzpah to attack the fans when they complain no lube was used. If you want to enjoy Dr. Who you need to buy all the older seasons on Blu ray because all the reboots and remakes of tv shows and movies these days are pure shit.

My wife watches it. I stopped once they added a kweirdo companion. I guess this is like the 3rd or 4th shark jump that show has made. Eventually, it will only be shown in a transgender studies class.
