[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 8240543, member: 7023840"] Two disparate threads have recently come together in my head; as is well-known and cannot be reasonably disputed, my brain cannot hold more than a single thought (which is usually some variant of "Hungry?") at a time, and having two thoughts might lead to some sort of terrible, Cronenbergian cranial explosion. And given that I lack any trepanation tools, I realized that I needed to vent these thoughts as quickly as possible onto the forum in order to save my life. Where was I? Oh yes- so, [USER=85714]@wicked cool[/USER] had commented, in another thread, that instead of posting negative thoughts, we should have a thread about "things you like instead and that you think deserve awards for excellence in movies etc" Meanwhile, I had also seen the following provocative article: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.vox.com/culture/2021/4/6/22360749/apple-tv-plus-programming-streaming-ted-lasso-for-all-mankind-dickinson[/URL] (TLDR; because Apple isn't just mining their own IP, they are forced to come up with new and original programming. New and original programming is good.) So I thought I'd start a thread where people can post a few recommendations of genuinely GREAT things that they'd recommend to other people here. Now, I'd like to make a few rules, because that's the kind of Snarf I am: A. [B]Please do not post the usual geek fare that we are always talking about[/B]. In other words, [B]no super heroes, Star Wars, Star Trek, Dr. Who, etc.[/B] Let's branch out a wee bit! B. Let's keep it current! Citizen Kane is a great film; Notes from Underground is a great book; the original Prisoner is a great TV series, but they are old. [B]Let's try and keep it to media that is within the last year or so.[/B] C. [B]You get two recommendations[/B]. You get to make two, no more, no less. Two shall be the number of recommendations, and the number of recommendations shall be two. Three shall thou not make, neither shall thou make one, excepting that thou then make two. Four recommendations is right out. D. [B]And feel free to use any media that you tickles your fancy[/B]. As is well-known, I will be using TV shows, as I am illiterate. One of these days, I'll get that reading thing down and be able to recommend a book or two. But that day, alas, is not today. I will post my two recommendations after posting the thread starter! :) [/QUOTE]
