I mean, obviously, people do, definitionally. I noped out of musical biopics about 20 years ago, superhero stuff a decade ago, the increasingly melded styles of Disney, Pixar, Illumination, etc. around the same time, as well as generally anything franchise-y. But these are what people like so…
To some degree, I’d expect the same to happen if I watched 1,500 Korean movies in a decade. They certainly have their formulas, tropes and biases.
Jumbo Visma is a strong team now. I have a peculiar fondness for AG2R CItroen and Groupama-FDJ because they’ve been around forever and have gone through the fewest name and kit changes.
Not really watching anything now per se. However, definitely looking forward to Moon Knight, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Stranger Things all to be released soon.
They released the digital codes for In Search of Tomorrow early to backers so I’m settling down to that for the night. It’s a five(!) hour long documentary about 80s sci-fi films - but no doubt 20-30 minutes of that will be credits.
Watched 3 hours last night and the rest tonight and it was “just” 15 minutes of credits.
Very good and if you’ve seen In Search of Darkness then you’ll already know the score: it’s a year by year retrospective focusing on specific films with contributions from cast, crew, critics etc. Due to the natural overlap of sci-fi and horror there are some films which are omitted as they were already featured in ISoD e.g. The Thing.
My favourite story may be how on E.T. the alien would be set aside in the corner when not required. Drew Barrymore would still wander over and talk to it so two crew members had to be ready at all times to bring E.T. to life so as not to break the illusion for her.
And since my Brighton is currently getting smacked around by Liverpool, I’ll be toodling around until Brentford comes on later. Then probably Man United and Tottenham.
The company that made it went under in 81 or 82, and the company that got all the assets didn’t want to film any more episodes, so the show ends on a cliffhanger since they were expecting another season.
