Beefy's Corner - The Off-Topic Chat Thread

Yeah British drama pales in comparison to that of the USA.

 

Peep Show is probably the only British show I can think of that I actually get excited to watch.

 

Must admit I find Americans incredibly Insular , I have several relatives out there and used to visit often , but NO WAY would I ever choose to live there .

Life is SO cheap , I mean as in the life / Death of a person , not standard of living .

No Mon ( Money ) no Fun and get a job attitude stinks IMHO .

And even some of them are so shallow it defies belief , not all I have met , but enough to make me think .

 

A challenge TSS; dedicate a few hours of your time to watching a few episodes of Game of Thrones or The Wire, and then you can come back with your feelings and we can kill this topic once and for all. 'Don't knock it til you've tried it' and all that.

 

Some J-Pop is quite good. I've heard some good songs on Japanese radio which aren't quite so what you'd imagine as stereotypical J-Pop, but still rather good. One was more like J-Folk. I guess in the UK, you generally only hear the cheesy example of J-Pop. As for anime, my experience of that is quite limited, but I do like the artistic style. The one anime series I've watched is Fruits Basket which is quite a nice, enjoyable series. I'd recommend it. And the main character's really sweet, although I'm not sure anyone could be quite so positive in real life.

 

I love it when stuff syncs up like this:

I made a promise to myself to post this at any valid opportunity I get:

Challenge accepted. I'll try to find some episodes of GoT or The Wire, if it's not illegal to do so, and then I'll see if I'm hooked. It still doesn't alter my view that one shouldn't automatically think that everything good comes out of America. With all due respect to Dan, that's a very narrow way to think, and I'm sure that he didn't quite mean it the way he wrote it.

 

That was very good.

Also, I notice I'm well out of the title race for this Beefy's Corner, so I'm going to have to make a lot more posts like

 

this.

 

My slightly hyperbolic statement is more narrow minded than assuming anyone who enjoys American media is merely doing so because they've been brainwashed by Sky? Really?

 

Now you know I didn't say that.

 

Really ?

 

After two episodes of GoT, I remain unconvinced.

 

Ye

 

Joe, mods will delete posts like this, if they spring up too much. Besides, -DTLW has such a lead on you that you'll run out of posts before the 1000 is up. Wait for the next Beefy and then post like mad.

 

s.

 

Why ?

 

He's just joking TSS

 

Well...
