Popular Culture

in the context of films, TV & books; what does it for you? what are you looking for? what consistant factors make you waste 20 odd hrs of your life tuning into a show for a season or $14 going to catch a film @ the cinema when its first released? or what turns you right off and makes you want to bash people who like stuff like all saints?

generally the more needless nudity the more inclined i am to see it.

why don't you do your own reserach assignment pck!

i am looking for something that does not follow the normal formula of predictability, especially with books. i need something that keeps me on edge and unable to predict the ending halfway in.

as for movies go it depends what mood i am in. i will watch almost anything but as far as blowing money on going to the movies i only do that when something is worth watching on the big screen otherwise downloading from the internet is the only way to go.

you must be bored at work again pkc to post a topic like this

im ALWAYS bored at work nah, theres just been a few posts lately that have made me wonder what gets people into certain types of entertainment (ie people are worshipping shit and i wanted to see where that interest in turd comes from and how prevalent fecal matter is in their everyday tastes )

but good response teapot. im the same. i love a gripping storyline that isnt all about happy endings, a strong male lead character to identify with/admire, lots of struggle, loss and triumph

have you read the song of ice and fire series that i recommended awhile back? if you want no happy endings and edge of your seat rollercoaster action then it is for you.

i agree on the prison break thing, it is utter trollop that you know is going to end up in a happy happy joy joy finish but i have really enjoyed it for some reason. it sucks you in, i guess it has just been too long since i watched the sopranos

Porn!!!!

i dont really have time tbh (it is pretty massive), im reading \"cubase power!\" at the moment. i really doubt its gonna have a happy ending for me

im not really pointing the finger at prison break; just wondering about stuff generally. its what you do when youre pushing paper all day

read the books at work, just scan them and open up adobe and read them at work. that way you can entertain yourself at work instead of going postal and no one will ever know. i am sure they must be online somewhere to save all the scanning.

i dont accept the i dont have time to read, you will read them and you will like it

the hours you spend dreaming up insults for tathi could easily be spent reading these books

I'm addicted to Veronica Mars lately. It's well written, it's witty, interesting, well acted and you never know which way the twists are going to go.

But a big to Ten for pulling the first season partway thru. Hooray for broadband!


apart from that, I don't really watch much tv/read, and the last time I went to the cinema was to take my 8yo niece..

TV: I usually only watch SBS, documentaries on war / cultures / history / art / everything else

Foreign Correspondant, Dateline, The Glass House are some of my favorite shows. Really like that show "Tribe" where that pom goes into the most remote tribes in the world and takes their hallucinogenic drugs

Books: Most of the time i read Literature and Fantasy, but considering the pathetic state mcfantasy is in atm i've been reading alot more literature lately. Just gone onto french literature, finished reading Papillon by Henri Charriere, now onto Alexander Dumas - Count of Monte Cristo

yeah i'm a fucken nerd

he would also have to take up knitting on the side to fill in some of that time

then i can't recommend these two books enough, fucken incredible:
Shantaram
Papillon
Johnny Depp is making Shantaram into a movie; it's the best book i've ever read

read these books i have been harping on about, then you will realise mcfantasy is not dead. i will do a deal with you, i will read Shantaram & Papillon if you read A Song of Ice & Fire the first book is called A Game of Thrones.

oooooo im impressed Tathi & TPot

hahaha

keep reading!



p.s SBS ROCKS!

tathi comes across guys all the time.

and seriously, did you mean to write GUYS? coz that statement didnt make a lot of sense. in my experience its the chicks who will reach for women's weekly before time. who watch the ghost whisperer instead of lateline. still those chickies that do are much fuller, well-rounded people and waaaay more interesting to talk to. especially if theyve got a nice firm rack.

i would hope that if i spent \"hours\" my insults would be far more creative and amusing. i shall look into the books you gentleman are reading, though i just bought \"star wars: empire at war\" which shall no doubt take up some of my time as i send my imperial forces forth to crush the insignificant rebellion
