Yessssss

been on a bit of an Atom Egoyan spree lately; his early stuff is awesome- real Lynch vibes The Adjuster Exotica about to watch The Sweet Hereafter

Netflix is putting together a series based on Wet Hot American Summer. That movie is hilarious and it looks like most of the original cast are signing on. This should be good

trying very hard to resist screeners

Holy shit

fucking hilarious tv series. I saw an American remake came out recently (American remake of everything ffs...) so i'm glad to see the original pick up some new viewers again :):) Yeh I saw this too. I'm an Andy Daly fan but what gets me about the aussie one are those ridiculous metaphors he comes up with. So good

loved it

the stanley parable - clever

started watching Review With Myles Barlow - how had I not heard of this show?! excellent satirical black comedy reviewing life experiences

Guy on the left is a favourite of mine

I've left the tower with my brother to look at; seems like we've exhausted every potential cause

There are nuggets of more serious coverage. Part of the reason is capitalist drive of course, but the more interesting underlying thing is how attention span and complexity in daily life of people make it very hard to even have time to get deep into concepts. I find this an extremely interesting concept. Is this your own idea or do you have material supporting this idea? Would love to read anything in this area if you can PM me any articles/papers etc. Edit: sorry, to elaborate. I'm fully aware that as a people we are constantly shifting focus and are busy (though statistically we are spending less time working and more time on leisure than ever before in history). I'm most interested in how this applies to broadcasting/news and the delivery of news etc. (A relevant point I think might be the length and frequency of commercials on television?) I don't have any studies offhand but there is this book by Nicolas Carr http://www.amazon.com/Shallows-What-Internet-Doing-Brains/dp/0393339750/ref=asap_B001JS2HYY?ie=UTF8 And also this video talks about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0KqvieRgnU(it mentions a "growing body of evidence") These are mostly about internet, so it's kind of my own thing that it affects news, but I don't think it's a stretch to say media in general is mostly the same thing as far as consumption is concerned. I also know from my own relationships that people can have really strange hatred of celebrities on tv or leaders of a political party and when you ask them about it they have totally shallow reasons they just heard in a news snippet or from a friend, and a lot of the time those beliefs are blended with their own views on how the world should be or what the world is, and they don't make a distinction at all. Again my own views: but from a neuroscience perspective it makes sense. The nerves in the brain are connected in conceptual models, and the more symbols you have in the model (words, sentences, images etc) and the more diverse those models are, the more neutral your view on something is. Well in a lot of popular media, stories and explanations of events and people are simplified, so the brain only has a few symbols to put in the model and those symbols are connected only in a few ways and isolated, as opposed to connected in complex and nuanced ways. This leads to islands of bitesized models of things in isolation, also physically in the brain, rather than diverse nuanced complicated models. But of course, you need the symbols from reality, and the symbols should be as close to true and in accord with reality as possible, so there's a lot of work to do. Again just my own thesis! This is a good post
