The off topic thread #2

Anyone seen the ad for Westworld? Looks decent!

 

[elhadjihenry]

I won't even pretend to suggest any haha.

I wear business shoes, just find them so bloody comfy. Business shoes, black jeans and a polo. For every reason I hate work, the dress code isn't one of them.

I'm more of a smart casual shoes, chinos and shirt guy. So glad I don't have to wear suits

I love wearing a suit...but probably because I don't have to every day haha.

Looks really good. Starts in October doesn't it?

Yeah the cast look superb. Not normally my kind of show I don't think but it's certainly grabbed my attention so far.

jod23 I've been waiting all morning for you to tell WR to play the ball not the man!

He does it in jest. You do it spitefully.

Play on.

Play on.

Nothing jesting about it but not surprised by that response lol.

 

[jod23]

Plenty of music is indeed soulless and money orientated but not the stuff I tend to like.

You made a good job of sexing up TV. If I saw some posts exploring those themes I dare say I may even be inclined to try and watch one or two. Problem is I doubt those things are really prevelant in your average viewer. And at the end if the day it's a script mate, and by and large it's laid on for you - all the thinking that is. You have to consider that for a show to be a success it most be grasped by the masses - that automatically means anything mentally challenging is lost.

You know it's true

Mate TV shows and movies are the current version of the oldest entertainment in the world.

Story telling.

Everyone loves a good story.

 

[jod23]

It's a pretty good summation but there's plenty more that could be included.

How they dealt with John Spencer's death was superb.

Then you have Donna's trip to the middle east etc.

I won't post too much more so not to ruin it for JD but you get the idea.

The live Presidential candidate debate was unbelievable television. No not fake live. Actually live television but live scripted television. So basically a play on TV watched by millions. The pressure to get it right would have been huge and the decision to do it live made that episode even better because it felt so much more like a real debate.

It's an amazing television show.

When I said argument, I mean a debate with two opposing views. Also, in England we believe Aussies have a thick skin, even more so than ourselves - so I post with that in mind. It seems to upset people though which isn't my intention. It's all just a bit of fun - well supposed to be

Is this you logging into BF today?



SM is the guy in the first room that WR walks into.

You can't say that wasn't your intention. You came in here intetionally wanting to argue. You said so yourself. You hurl abuse at people, and have a sook when someone says something back, or someone challenges you. You ignore responses that conveniently counteract your statements, and then just keep going and going looking for more.

If you want people to argue less, maybe change your posting style, cos it isn't really making you too popular round these traps - as is evident today. You called me a campaigner, openly baited SM, and looked for an argument. Pull your head in and start acting your age.

He does it in jest. You do it spitefully.

Play on.

Bullshit. It was not in jest and you damn well know it. If SM said it you'd be all up in his grill telling him to speak to others with respect and "play the ball, not the man", but when WR does it, it's in jest? ****ing spare me.

This is absolutely pathetic. And you know it.

I think you'll find music has been around longer, which also tells stories.

 

[jod23]

I honestly didnt see the post or the context. If he was slinging insults then sure. He's just as bad. I have no dog in this fight though.

Hahah calm down mate. I didnt see the post or why or what was going on. As I said above if WR was flinging insults then that's poor form.

Having read the last few pages. I was actually impressed with SM. He argued well and he didnt result to insults. It was good. I also agreed with him the whole time. Liked most of his posts I think.

Ahh but you're telling a story through music. Story telling. I win.

lol what?

"TV shows and movies are the current version of the oldest entertainment in the world."

 

[jod23]

lol what?

"TV shows and movies are the current version of the oldest entertainment in the world."

Yes which is story telling. Story telling is also told through music aswell. Either way it's the oldest form of entertainment... well outside of sex.

I tend to do that quite often. Some just read what they want, like WR thinking I was throwing barbs and being snide today.

Yep... he judged you on your well earnt reputation rather than what you were actually posting which was unfair.
