I do watch quiz shows on tv sometimes. Not game shows, and definitely not all shows. University Challenge is a no-no, as is Mastermind. My only interest is to answer the questions posed, and the topics for those are specialised and, really, of no interest. Who on earth cares about the History of Dutch Cheese 1842 to 1988?
General knowledge quiz shows are better. You stand a chance. But there are some things that annoy me about them.
There are places and videos that you can find showing some tasteless album/cd covers, so I thought I would just post a few, for fun.
No John and Yoko, sorry.
It seems to be Oscar season again. Some of my chums make an effort to see every film nominated, but I don’t bother.
I do occasionally look at the listings, but all you see are blurays or dvds projected on a slightly bigger screen than my tv.
I was watching Stanley Kramer’s comedy It’s a Mad, Mad etc World on bluray the other day. When it came out, it must have looked fantastic, on a super wide curved screen, a real immersive experience. Film makers rarely use film these days. J J Abrams does and Christopher Nolan, I believe, and that’s about it.
