shareHave you listened to the latest podcast, which you take part in - it’s really cool 😎
shareI haven't but I will. Thanks for the heads up, Andy.
shareIt was nice to hear your interaction.
shareWere you on the Movie Chat podcast?
shareYes, the one that was uploaded recently.
shareIs there a link to it? I tried searching for it on Spotify and found the one about Lawnmower Man (I saw your name in the description), but for some reason, it won’t play. In fact, it seems that many of the episodes won’t play at all. It just shuffles through a bunch and randomly picks one that works. It's bizarre.
shareWhen are you going to join us? I'll be sure to be there for that one. Try Kowalski's link 👇
Signed, million man.
I’m not sure, I don’t really watch movies much anymore — just old TV shows these days. Honestly, I don’t feel like I have much to contribute to the discussion.
shareWe could do a TV Show discussion in the future (I’m a big tv show fan).
shareYeah, I mostly watch TV shows. I do check out new ones now and then, but most of them don’t stack up to what we had during the Golden Age (1999-2015). Shows like Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, The Sopranos, The Shield, Sons of Anarchy, and Dexter. So, I tend to rewatch those or, more accurately, I watch reaction videos to them. It’s a way for me to experience the shows as though I’m watching them for the first time, through someone else's eyes.
shareGolden Age was 1950s (Twilight Zone, I Love Lucy, Honeymooners, Playhouse 90, Outer Limits, Walter Cronkite...).
You all have to come up with your own title instead of stealing "The Golden Age" which belongs to the 50s.
No one is going to be watching most of those 90s shows in the future.
The Golden Age of Television refers to the period from 1999 to 2015, sparked initially by The Sopranos. It revitalized TV with high-quality dramas, shifting the medium to something more cinematic. The term itself is a nod to the original Golden Age of the 1950s. Here's a Wikipedia article that goes more into the details:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Age_of_Television_(2000s%E2%80%93present)
"The term itself is a nod to the original Golden Age of the 1950s."
That's what I wrote.
You late bloomers should find your own term.
Yes, I know — I was explaining the contemporary term and its connection to what you wrote. As for the name, don’t blame me, I didn’t invent it. As the Wikipedia article suggests, some people clarify by calling it the 'New Golden Age of Television' or the 'Second Golden Age of Television.'
shareI'm not sure about that. I was able to start it on my phone without any issues.
shareI got the link from Kowalski and I'm listening to it now. Is that you around the 5:00 mark, where you compared Jeff Fahey to Trey Parker in BASEketball?
share👍
shareI've never seen a movie from the 1950s where people and everything else look like CG renderings from a modern video game. They should have at least overlaid some film grain.
shareI think they did a pretty good job considering that the whole thing is generated by AI.
shareWhich is why it looks like a video game, which is why it looks nothing like anything from the 1950s, which is before video games even existed, unless you count little dots of light on an oscilloscope screen. Adding film grain would hide the CGI look somewhat.
shareBetter
shareFor all of this movie's flaws, in the end, it felt like STAR WARS since Lucas still had his hands on it and when Disney took over, it's all downhill regardless of how much $$$$$ they made. Disney ruined Luke Skywalker. There's Mark Hamill and then there's Luke Skywalker. Nuff said
