Random TV Show Thoughts

[The Cat]

Order, Money, Rules, Civilization, Culture, Social Status, Codes of Conduct.
These things are like real magic. Manifestations of will and intent through ritual and action producing something bigger and more dramatic than the sum of its parts which is most often focused towards a directed outcome or desired goal.
The magic only works if you believe it does.
That is what makes it magic.
Faith in practice.
Without it... it all begins to fall apart and unravel.

All those mean nasty thin-skinned cancel culture troops -- led by the most nefarious nemesis mastermind ever!

I've only seen a few episodes of Veep, but they were funny. Somebody wanted to ban math because it was Muslim. I'm surprised somebody hasn't already tried that.

That Unfrosted movie he directed on Netflix was pretty terrible. Like, complete corporate sanctioned star-studded pile of crap.

I'm glad you sat through it so I don't have to.

I watched the pilot episode of the Sopranos. I don't know if I'll do individual recaps of these, but I might do a season recap. I have seen a few episodes in the later seasons, so it was interesting to observe that AJ was always kind of pudgy.

That was so good, and I had no idea it was so funny. Like, "Oh, sorry we burned down your restaurant, but look, you got insurance money!" That was great.

I wonder if that priest is gonna get whacked?

When you finish Sopranos, check out Boardwalk Empire.

I think one of my favorite things about the sopranos, is how well it illustrates the value of gentleman's agreements, considering how much of everything relies on them, one would hope everyone takes them seriously, and no one gets delusions of being able to take refuge within them, while trying to sneak around them. Trust. It's a hell of a thing. So is professionalism.

I could imagine these guys breaking them all the time, but I haven't seen enough of the show.

A lie is just a lie, but if you can get your friends and family in on it, it ceases to be just a lie, and instead by technical metamorphosis becomes a commonly held belief.
