  • I’ve been watching a lot of programs from the 60s and 70s lately, and Columbo is a great one. There’s something so calming and disarming about the entire tone of the show, which Peter Falk fits perfectly into.

    It’s interesting, because after you’ve watched a few episodes, it becomes a great “background” show, with its low intensity. But if you’re paying attention to it, despite the recurring themes each episode, they change things up enough that it doesn’t get old like some shows from the period can be prone to do.

    I’m not sure they could pull off the same vibe of a show quite as successfully today, but that’s not so bad because there’s so much existing material to go back and watch.

    It’s available on Prime video for anyone who’s looking to give it a try


  • This is exactly why I roll my eyes at the people who are rabidly angry at the sequel trilogy. We’ve seen all this happen before, and it turns out no matter how bad we think it is, there’s still a group that gets something special out of it. It wasn’t cool for me to take the prequels so seriously and hate on them while a whole new generation of Star Wars fans were just getting into it. At the time, the kids loved Jar-Jar!

    I’m not fond of the sequel trilogy. But I honestly think episode 8 was the best of the lot. And if there’s people who like what these movies are, then that’s a good thing for them
