Magic: Who thinks they can do it, and why otherwise intelligent people buy it.

Wrestling might not be science fiction but I assure you it is most certainly fantasy.

Zoom goes the correct Pirate Boat.

Sometimes they show documentaries on Hitler.

Which invariably mention how he now lives with the Vril inside the Hollow Earth, building a flying saucer army to take revenge.

i must have had a ciesure before they mentioned that... though i don't put that past them anymore

A what?

seizure heh. i spl gewd, shut up.

its like sci fi airing that wwf crap. wrestling =/= sci fi

Maybe not, but it isn't scifi channel  anymore, anyway. It's the sciecne fiction FANTASY channel now. Syfy.

THAT'S what that new stupid abbreviation stands for? It was bad enough when I thought it was just supposed to a *hip* new way to spell SciFi, but it's got fantasy thrown in their too now? 

It's like when they changed CourtTV to TruTV.  I like to watch the documentary/reporting-style shows like Forensic Files, Investigators, etc. Sure, they still show them sometimes, but a good 75% of the programming is like 10 different cops/beach patrol/party patrol/patrol patrol show variations, a million different people doing something stupid/shocking/outlandish shows and Jesse Ventura's Conspiracy Theory  (actually I don't know if that show's on there, but they sure advertise it enough) Now they're advertising some upcoming "The REAL NFL" or something like that. WTF is that shit? I'd watch a sports channel if I want to see sports.

But there really is no point in going on, preaching to the choir, etc. There are some shows I do enjoy but waves of shit just keep coming in. I guess I still get kinda astounded (for some reason) by the drivel that people not only will watch, but WANT to watch.

Read a book instead?

Yeah, they changed the name because of all the crappy movies they put on there that fall under the science fiction fantasy genre. I like some of the older ones, like the one they made based on the Odyssey, but other than that they're kind of dull and have overused plots.

Yeah, TruTV. Seems to me it just becae like a reality show channel for officer type people. And I haven't heard of that 'REAL NFL' show, but I'm willing to bet it's another reality show, or whatever a person calls it where they film the behind the scenes drama and slap a name on it and call it a show.

I hardly ever watch tv anymore, other than to put cartoons on for my monkey, but I do like wrestling. It's my equivalent of a soap opera, with the bonus that people who have issues with someone just go beat the snot out of each other. .


Though I don't watch the one on Syfy.  It's on too late.

UNSKIPPABLE 'DON'T STEAL MOVIES' COMMERCIALS!

Yeah! If you see one of those commercials it's telling you you've been swindled. Also I have a shit memory so instead of waiting a week and forgetting what happened the last episode of my favourite show, I tend to save a season up and watch them, 1 a night, for a couple of weeks. Copyright theft is win!

Troof its the best way to see any series!

Also if you like Anime, Funimation now has new shows and no commercial interruption on their site. I think they're about 4 days behind the Japanese broadcast of several current shows. I found them while looking for copies of Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood

Yeah, but all the new shows are crap.  They're all either desperately buying up "light novel" rights hoping to find the next Suzumiya, taking "Slice of Life" to it's ultimate conclusion by having cuter, younger girls (this season has a show dedicated to preschoolers who act exactly like the Strawberry Marshmallow girls, I kid you not) and leaving out the "life," or generic young boy with an underrated [Gimmick] trying to show up the rest of the world, where society awards power, respect, and girls go to the guy with the best [Gimmick].  They're stuck in the "play it safe, maybe if we can match the formula better than anyone else we can sell some 10k yen dvds or at least some poseable action figures" mentality.

I've only been watching the new FMA: Brotherhood and Inuyasha: The Final Chapter, dunno about what other stuff they've been cranking out lately. Both FMA and Inuyasha are following the manga pretty well so far (well, as far as is reasonable for a tv series).

I consider anime to be a guilty pleasure, for which I am in poor taste for watching and something that should not be discussed in public. Much like my listening to Kenny G.

Also, FOASTING IN DIS BREAD!

I like some of it, some of it is terrible and occasionally some of it has tentacle shaped penises busting through hospitals to eat humans. Two out of three categories isn't bad

All discussions on magic eventually devolve into discussions about comics and anime.


I saw this happen many-a-time @ the PDXOcculture meetings, thanks for proving it yet again. 

[The Johnny]

Ive only seen the full series of:

-Neon Genesis Evangelion
-Elfen Lied
-Death Note (3/4ths of the way)
-Serial Experiments Lain

But eh, idk, theres billions of crap floating around and i cant muster the energy to read reviews.

Cowboy Bebop and the... the one where people die and get another chance to live if they kill the monsters they are instructed to (GODDAMN WHAT ITS NAME?).
