Flipping back through my Twitter times. To further some thoughts that maybe should have been left where they lay.
Like this robots tweet, that makes me think of that scene in iRobot where the robot is flipping through the air as it attacks and it’s fast and frightening.
I appreciate that they’re not risking the lives of real stunt people.
I think that’s a good thing.
Original seasons of Roseanne were really everyday life in the United States. Like, it was the first time they showed what life was really like on TV versus the romanticized versions of previous family-focused shows.
Before it jumped the shark, the show was a slice of real life. From the good to the bad.
And that story arc where Dan’s salesman dad comes to visit and impregnates Crystal before ducking out… ooh. I didn’t realize how much it had stuck to me until I re-watched episodes as an adult and the reaction was visceral, man.
It popped in my head: “She’s a single mom struggling everyday to do right by her son. She came from abusive relationships and has always done the best she can. Of all the people he had to talk up, why did he have to screw around with Crystal? Like Dan said, ‘You’ve known her since she was a little girl.’ So at the very least, he should have had the humanity to leave. her. alone.”
Yeah. The show used to be honest and real in those first few seasons. I haven’t seen the new series, but OG Roseanne was family life in the late 80s.
Did anybody else watch The Tribe?
Zoot was a total asshole.
They’re like cute little fairy creatures.
Dancing and bobbing to the music of nature. Drifting closer to the human encampment. Curious voices and tittering carried by the wind.
I have a sudden interest in reading the old Popeye comics.
I don’t want to buy them. I just want to take a little look.
