It will not.

I thought it’d be amusing if you ignored his post.

IT'S A BIT LATE FOR THAT

BUT I STILL THINK IT

You missed my really obvious and timely reference to the film Clue.

I’ve only seen it once years upon years ago!

Did you like it?

I seem to remember thinking it was a good time!

Big evening plans, boss?

My reasons are shallow, but here goes...

originally, i thought this was a period piece about settling the west. i enjoy things like that. i know now it's not.

over the holiday, i had a brief conversation with some in-laws here in okc, in-laws i clash with ideologically (big time), and one of them talked this show up like it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. it was then i decided i would opt out. this particular person has also spouted off qanon-specific garbage i can't let go of, therefore their opinion means nothing to me.

awfully close-minded of me, i know.

Nah. Order in some Chinese food. Watch some more Station Eleven. You?

Are people saying the same thing about the spin-off? That seems like it might be more in line with what some people want from the OG series. Just based on trailers, that is.

My feelings are hurt more the way he did it, though

I mentioned this earlier in the thread--my wife's very right-wing, pro-Trump parents LOVE this show, so we've had serious hesitation about watching a show that is talked about as if it's the story of the poor patriarch besieged by modern culture and big government into giving up his Traditional Family Values. And I don't think the trailers do a lot to dispel this impression. But learning it's made by Taylor Sheridan, who did Sicario and Hell or High Water (two movies that are not, to my mind, simple right-wing stagings of a black-and-white conflict), and remembering that my wife's parents are not particularly discerning viewers of television (the type of people who would be like, "damn, Don Draper is so cool!"), we've reconsidered.

That said, I don't think it's closed-minded of you to, faced with too many streaming objets, decide not to prioritize a show that has been talked about in hushed tones by the #rememberBenghazi crowd. It sounds like it's unfair to the show that this is the case, but I think it's an understandable choice all the same.

I don't disagree with any of that. I do think those who dismiss this show on ideological grounds are probably missing out on a damn good story.

I wish trag would watch it if only so I could pick his brain about how accurately Bozeman or that general region are portrayed. Trag once told me that he loves the rodeo, and there's a bit of that in there too. Wondering how much of that is real life.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
