Am I excited? You bet I'm excited--
Shadow Unit ("Breathe," written by Emma Bull) "airs." In the meantime, beforehand, there is a frantic flurry of activity behind the scenes as we get the place dusted out and ready for new visitors.
I love this. It's like opening day of a new play, when I was a theatre geek--all the behind-the-scenes drama and fiddly bits that must be dispensed with to make the opening seem seamless to the audience.
And I'm not sure I can survive the next ten or twelve hours until the story goes live.

So today (tonight) is the big day: the day the first episode of I love this. It's like opening day of a new play, when I was a theatre geek--all the behind-the-scenes drama and fiddly bits that must be dispensed with to make the opening seem seamless to the audience.
And I'm not sure I can survive the next ten or twelve hours until the story goes live.

Will it be showing on the Eastern side of the Atlantic at all soon?
There are more, if you look under "Extras" on the sidebar.
:-) And some of them have concealed easter-eggy type linky presents in them.
NB: Seen Cloverfield yet? Up there with Fargo and Leon...
No, I haven't seen Cloverfield, but I've also heard it described, and plan to give that one a pass, too.
OK, I'll shut up now...
And trust me, morally challenging isn't a problem for me. Getting the psychology of violence wrong is.
OK, I'm drunk, but I don't agree with the intellectual rejection of entertainment, just because it doesn't tie in with someone's political views. I happen to think that Dr L F Celine's books are wonderful, even though he was an anti-Semite. I own just about everything written by Charles Bukowski, even though he was a really unpleasant drunk. Don't mistake the map for the territory. Just because a TV program doesn't happen to fit in with your personal viewpoint, doesn't mean that it's bad... Rejecting something without experiencing it strikes me as small minded. I've read several books by Nietzsche, not because I agreed with him, but because they were illuminating.
OK - apologies - I've drunk almost a litre of vodka - but I think that my basic point is correct - rejecting something because someone tells you that is wrong is a bad idea. Make you're own decisions, based on "evidence".
Oh, and Cloverfield is brilliant!
:o)
Love and hugs...
And if I'm busy yelling at the characters for being too stupid to live, or the writers for getting their facts incorrect, I won't enjoy the show. So why bother?
Life is short.
It's definitely too short to try to stuff your preferences in entertainment down the throat of somebody who isn't interested.
I have to resist going to bed early just because the first episode will be there when I wake up in the morning.
(Having an addictive personality hurts.)
Eeeeeeee
This totally gets to be this week's Reward For Being Done With Assigned Work.
I love your icon.
And good luck to you on opening night.
