- Comment on What's a highly-rated, critically acclaimed TV series that you couldn't get into, or have no interest in? 2 weeks ago:
the first season of ones like survivor, bb, tar, were better than every season after. before all the strategies and stuff got worked out. it was ‘new’ to you and to those on the shows. now it’s just same-old, same-old every single season.

works great when verbally giving someone a phone number… almost always messes 'em up. instead of usual cadence of ‘312, 867, 5309’… try something different like ‘312, 86, 75, 309’ or ‘3128, 675, 309’.

and then there’s a few films like robert rodriguez’ we can be heroes, which has only his studio card at the very beginning and a title card two and a half minutes in. that’s it. no opening theme, no opening credits at all, nothing. just movie. i kinda like it, actually.
