when my housemates make me too crazy i go hang out with my mama & today i got a glimpse of normal tv and it made me frown deeply. tropes and catchphrases and reused dialogue & traits & concepts. "what are you doing?" "[jargon that doesnt make sense in context but is said to imply the character is smarter than they look]. screwdriver! [task at hand literally does not require a screwdriver]". why cant stuff be good. there is comfort in the familiar but the familiar is so fucking stupid it hurts. anyways
#i guess it depends on the intention u have when watching something#if u want to watch surface level nothing for entertainment & not have to think at all there is stuff out there for u#i guess i just value my time a lot. and hate the moving picture because it is of the devil. so if im gonna watch something i want it to be#good...#and they always piss me off. to no end. because there is the assumption that your audience is too stupid to pay attention#there are a lot of 'shortcuts' television uses to convey ideas and tropes quickly and with the least amount of brain processing#so u use reused scenes again and again in every show because its easy#its lazy!#beetlespeak#beetlediaries
