I haven't finished the show and my interested is flagging but I am mostly enjoying it. That said, I get 100x more enjoyment watching other people enjoy it.

(I get 1000x more enjoyment watching people figure out if they can like it because pirates and 1700's aristocrats are actually pretty bad.)

I haven't seen the movie but I was worried it would be too much like WWDITS because humour is super very hit or miss for me and WWDITS was a miss for me.

I was able to push through because it really was a cute show (MINUS THAT ENDING WTF YOU TWO GET BACK HERE AND TALK THIS OUT RIGHT NOW), though I did have to mute/ff through some of the scenes.

Co fucking signed! I actually yell "watch the road!!" (if I'm alone, or mutter it under my breath if there's people around) when it happens.

[(Anonymous)]

I kinda like it. I always enjoy when things kinda lean into the unreality.

[(Anonymous)]

To the point where I actually cheer in movies when this results in a crash! It is no less than they deserve.

[(Anonymous)]

I noticed that it is actually worse in modern movies where the actors are in car on a trailer pretending to be driving, than in those real old movies where they are in a set with rear projection. Like the actors try harder to pretend they are actually driving, only occasionally glancing over, to sell the acting when it is on a soundstage.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I freak out too! I'm like "stop looking into the rearview mirror tyrig to make eye contact! You fool!"

Especially since I started learning to drive, I'm like how the hell was anyone ever able to hold a conversation with me while they drove??!!

[(Anonymous)]

I ALWAYS expect them to get t-boned, it makes me pretty anxious.

[(Anonymous)]

When that happens, I start expecting a crash or some sort of surprise in the road. If that doesn't happen or the character driving isn't shown to be otherwise inattentive, then I think less of the director because then there's no good reason for it narratively.

[tabaqui]

Fucking THIS. Who does that? It jolts me right out of the scene, i HATE it.

[(Anonymous)]

IKR? They could just pull over or wait until they get to their destination, easy fix.

Eurgh! god, that thing sets off my uncanny valley alarm SO BAD. (Not Chewie. Chewie doesn't freak me out at all.)

I think it is better-than-even odds that the stories are less interesting than the songs. Taylor is a good songwriter! That's what good songwriters do. (I think the exception is really if the conspiracy theorists are right.)

Early jingoistic Kipling and old jaded burned out Kipling are two very different poets.
He still wrote my favourite short poem, which is only ever more applicable.

A Dead Statesman
I could not dig; I dared not rob:
Therefore I lied to please the mob.
Now all my lies are proved untrue
And I must face the men I slew.
What tale shall serve me here among
Mine angry and defrauded young?

Thai is the same author or "Catherine, called Birdy" -- I really loved the heroine for being so smart/clever. I totally get wanting to name your daughter that. Now I want to re-read that book! And maybe even this one.

There were some episodes I really enjoyed early on; I think I might have stopped listening sometime around the episode about Sicilian Oranges or something? I forget. I heard there was an over arching plot going, and frankly, I just really enjoyed the whole "weird thing of the week town radio vibe". I also heard Carlos got a voice actor? I only wanted to enjoy Cecil and those weird times Desert Bluffs crossed over.

I worked out my best spices. Cayenne, smoked paprika, garlic, and fenugreek. Those four spices can be used in various combinations to make anything taste good. Especially fenugreek, that one was a revelation.
