I’ve become addicted to Perry Mason (TOS). I watch it on FETV (even though it’s not HD, there’s almost a nostalgic appeal to the slightly fuzzy images) since I’m too cheap to buy it on DVD. I had some vague memories of watching it in the early 60s, when I was 7, 8 years old, but I can appreciate it now. I enjoy how so many of the actors were recycled numerous times as different characters, much like shows such as The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, etc., some of whom seemed to always turn out to be the guilty one each time they were on. Even with the formulaic approach, there’s almost always a twist, which itself is expected but perhaps not too obvious. Kudos to Fred Steiner for that immortal theme! It’s also great to hear the stock music (some by Herrmann, no less) so familiar to us. And (God forgive me), a middle-finger salute to Paley for torpedoing PM (and Gilligan’s Island)!

I don't know if I've confessed this before (I can't be bothered to check), but...I don't like live music! There, I've said it. I realize that I'm totally out of sync with the world, with CD sales (for ever) falling, even streaming down & tickets for live concerts selling out in seconds, everyone wants a live show. Not me. I'm with you, Rameau, I confess I don't much care for live (rock) music, either. Especially if it's a band promoting their latest album; I'm almost always disappointed in the live version vs the studio version. While lots of folks enjoy the atmosphere and feel of a live concert, I'd rather enjoy the music in my own little world, not with 20,000 of my friends. Classical music is something of an exception for me as usually the crowd is mostly quiet except for the maddening coughs and such.

Feeble minded twits who cant help but cough JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE ELSE DID!!!!!!! I have sat through three hour operas without once even clearing my throat. Its all in their tiny little heads! Have a nice day! B

Personal confession: I may have enjoyed Jupiter Ascending more than the any movie of the current Star Wars Trilogy (The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi).

For the first time in years I didn't buy the SPORTS ILLUSTRATED SWIMSUIT issue. Why? Let's just say "#metoo" and leave it at that. b
