Oh How Things Have Changed...For The Worse.

This thread sounds like my grandfather yelling about my music.

YEA! And get off my Lawn! ...

I like Pollack's paintings. It's not just drips. He had an uncanny ability to create deep space in that field by the way that he layered colors and applied the arcs of paint. But these attributes just don't translate in a reproduction. Standing in front of them is a whole different experience. Same thing for Rothko. His paintings look like nothing special, but there's an energy that radiates from them because of the way the colors vibrate off each other that just doesn't come through in a reproduction.
John, glad to hear that you're able to access the old radio files.

Here is a link (Dick Tracy in B-Flat) to what I consider to be one of the best episodes ever written of the radio program "Command Performance." "Dick Tracy in B-Flat" was originally broadcast on February 15, 1945. Its cast included Bing Crosby, Dinah Shore, Jimmy Durante, Judy Garland, Bob Hope, Frank Sinatra, Frank Morgan, Jerry Colonna, and more. I hope that you enjoy it!

@hunter: Hey that's a great pic of Stanley Kubrick on the couch with his remote! That must be one of the last known shots of him.
Caption: "What an endless stream of shit movies those Hollywood bastards are churning out these days."

Ha ha, no, I'm glad some people like different things. Heck, you take a bunch of guys who most likely only have pipes in common... wait... we all do like the same pipes and the same tobaccos, right? :: Oh, and we all agree on the perfect way to smoke. So, finding something good to watch at the theater should be a sinch.

Netflix has had some great specials, movies, and tv shows lately. The Dave Chapelle comedy specials were hilarious, the Luke Cage Marvel series is dope, and I can't wait for the film War Machine to come out. There's great stuff out there, and not hard to find either.

Speaking of Netflix, I've been inundated with female standups. Watched one or two, and then said I might as well be hung for sheep, and watched about six. Some good, some poor. A couple gals I'll never watch again.
I guess HBO kicked off the stand up special format, where one guy or gal gets the floor for an hour or so. Anyone recall who was first? Rock? Martin?

Now I'm confused. Who is Seth? And what does he have to do with Jackson Pollock?

 

[philobeddoe]

I believe George Carlin had the first HBO special.

Man, yes to the Chappelle and Luke Cage series..excellent entertainment. I dont know who the guy is that plays Cage, but hes an excellent actor to be sure.

Who is Seth?

Fascinating. 1963. The web site looks as if it dates from then, but Al hadn't invented the WWW by then.

Clearly a financially unsuccessful cult.

Wow, I read the Seth books when I was a kid...strange shit indeed!

Take that, old people!! :twisted:

I'm obviously not in the demographic this thread is targeting.

 

[mayfair70]

Unfortunately, I'm getting up there too...

 

[Chasing Embers]

Me too.

For some reason this thread is starting to make me think of the old Black Flag song - TV Party.

10 hours later. Checked back in, still confused. So, cally454 is a nut? Is that the takeaway here?

Here's some appropriate music (Let it Go) to accompany the above image.
