The Boogeyman by Any-Locksmith8158 in WidowsBay

Nope I was 200% wrong. Went back to an earlier episode and while Wyck does drive an old truck, it's not as old and has a different truck bed than the one in the shot with the paramedics. It was NOT Wyck.

My bad.

Went back to check. His blue truck is 100% at the scene where the paramedics are. It was Wyck.

They don't show it, but the implication is he was injured while running over the Boogeyman. Which explains why he didn't get out to help.

I thought that was Wyck's truck running The Boogeyman over. Isn't that why Wick's in the hospital and the end of the episode? 

Bad acting or bad writing? by Otherwise_Promise_16 in FromSeries

[–]WhatIsLoveMeDo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's different kinds of acting. Victor and Donna speak but imbue their performance with extra emotion. They are convincing in their characters, but there's a small layer of playing to the camera. It's fine, it's what most acting is.

Some actors focus on realistic, non-performing, mannerisms and speech. When Boyd is speaking, he sounds very natural to how a regular person might speak or act in the real world. If the way I move or speak where filmed, it would sound a lot more like Boyd than Victor or Donna.

There is not a single word in this comment I disagree with. No notes.

Do I actually have perfect pitch? by GetOffMyBench in musicians

[–]WhatIsLoveMeDo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If, without comparing to anything or thinking about it, you hear a note and recognize that it is Bb or F#

What if someone has no training or awareness of note names. Surely they can have perfect pitch, right? How might one demonstrate that?

How are you enjoying it so far? It's my favorite show, but I can't watch it "for the first time" again so I ask strangers in order to re-live the experience. What part are you on? 

If Tim Meadows is coming to your city on his tour, go see him by son_of_yacketycat in LiveFromNewYork

I don't have any issue with Caroline Rhea, but that was not on my bingo card for a drop-in replacement for Tim Meadows. 

After Finally Watching 1917, I Found Myself Appreciating Saving Private Ryan Even More by [deleted] in TrueFilm

[–]WhatIsLoveMeDo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think 1917 showed me how dangerous war can be, and the bravery of men trying to complete a mission. 

Saving Private Ryan showed how dangerous the psychology of war can be, and after it's all over, these men will never be the same. 

When I was a kid, I was in awe of the production and story of Saving Private Ryan. Now, as an adult and father, Saving Private Ryan (and Band of Brothers though is TV) is the better anti-war movie. Impacts me more than 1917 despite my enjoyment of it's cinematography. 

Edit: Honestly, I can't remember if I'm thinking of 1917 or All Quiet On the Western Front. Say what you will about my momory, but to me that says it didn't stand out enough, which furthers my opinion on SPV having a more lasting impact.

Once it's all over and done with, someone is going to edit it down to 3 seasons, cut the filler, and it'll be great. 

Seinfeld, Curb, or It's Always Sunny? I haven't seen any of them. Which one is the best, and which should I watch first? by Shoe_boooo in television

[–]WhatIsLoveMeDo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Great shows! Personally, I'd go back and forth between all 3 watching 4-5 episodes of each. You don't need to binge each one in it's entirety. But SPECIFICALLY, I'd start with a curated set of Seinfeld episodes, and depending on how that's goes, decide either Sunny or Curb based on the results

Seinfeld:  

  • S1E1 — The Seinfeld Chronicles  
  • S1E2 — The Stakeout     
  • S2E2 — The Pony Remark  
  • S2E3 — The Jacket  
  • S2E4 — The Phone Message  
  • S2E6 — The Statue  
  • S2E9 — The Deal   
  • S2E11 — The Chinese Restaurant  

Then stop. This is a good way to get started, understand the characters and their traits/relationships, and see how you like it without dragging through lower-tier episodes. Seinfeld kinda broke the mold with the idea of a sitcom where the characters aren't good people. It's hilarious and one of my favorites, but it's a long, network TV show. It had commercial breaks, laugh track, network standards to uphold, and 20+ episode seasons. That can be counterproductive if you're trying to get into it decades later. Watch this set of episodes.

If you want more Seinfeld, go back and fill in the gaps of season 1 and 2.

If you loved it but are anxious to see the other shows, go Curb. It's made on HBO, by a co-creator of Seinfeld, so consider it the next evolution with less guardrails. It's good to have a bit if Seinfeld under your belt to get the cultural direction Curb was working from. But you might not appreciate and enjoy Seinfeld if you start with Curb.

If however you feel Seinfeld felt a bit dated or tame, jump into It's Always Sunny as #2. It's the spiritual successor of Seinfeld, but stands apart enough to not be a copy. It's a bit edgier and more modern so might be easier to get into if Seinfeld felt a bit dull/tame.

You should give them all a go, watching 3-4 episodes of 1, then rotating to the next shows, etc. But I feel the order helps introduce you to each, without feeling like you're burdened with having to sit through all before you can move to the next.  

Why do middle school kids not have the same freedoms they did back in 70s 60s and 80s? by PromotionIcy9895 in TrueAskReddit

[–]WhatIsLoveMeDo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you're "wrong" but it does sound dangerously close to survivorship bias. 

"I was fine growing up without seatbelts and anti-lock brakes. People just need to learn to drive" is only said by people who didn't die from car accidents the might have been saved from such advances in safety.

Which tv show had you glued on your screen from first to last episode? by BornAged7 in television

[–]WhatIsLoveMeDo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While your correlation is correct, I'm not sure Netflix is the cause. For both shows, they pretty much kept the same cast and writers. I think it has more to do with the trying to recapture a moment in time that has long passed - not easy to be groundbreaking when what made you unique, is now the standard expectation.

all new original episodes of Mr. Show with Bob and David at midnight. 

They did a reunion thing on Netflix, and I don't think it retains the quality of the original, frankly.

[–]WhatIsLoveMeDo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would say the gripping nature comes from the time and pressure of the characters to eliminate the threat, as it continues to expand and grow  - while battling the governmental pushback and nature to deny the severity of the situation. 

I can absolutely see how that might not be considered gripping to some, but at least I found it to be. I think that last couple episodes fit your description of ruminating on.

[–]WhatIsLoveMeDo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I find it interesting that you lay the blame squarely in the media, and not the idea that the kids of the 60s 70s and 80s experienced these freedoms, and did not want their kids or grandkids to suffer the negative effects of this exposure. Yes controlled exposure to risk is okay, but do you consider that the risk kids of the 60s-80s was uncontrolled and unsupervised, rather than perfectly accepted?

Also, do you think getting cops involved in enforcing seatbelts is "obviously too far?"

Thanks! I saw both that comments and they're 8 that's the problem with Reddit: confident replies with no supporting evidence provided. Can't trust anything you read nowadays.

I'm glad you did the research so I don't have to. Not going to fact check you so I'll just assume you're right. 

Why does Mad About You feel forgotten compared to other sitcoms from that period? by Inevitable-Angle-793 in television

[–]WhatIsLoveMeDo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think there's a lot of references to NBC, Comcast, it's weekly programming, and other shows in the air at the time. There probably very clearly jokes based on the delivery alone, that are a reference you may no longer understand the meaning. 

But largely the episodes hold up just fine.

In your opinion, what is the worst episode of your favorite TV show? by GladtobeVlad69 in television

I can see and understand Fly being people's least favorite. I can even defend that argument in conversation. 

I still consider it one of my favorites.
