Lol yeah.. it'd be torture now.

Lost was the first show I ever binge watched back in 2008. The concept of being able to stream through a series on the internet was mind blowing.
I never got interested in Lost from everything I read and heard of it, it was an exercise in futility.

Most things in life are dumb when we look back.. if we are honest. Yet life itself was more real back then. True freedom is so easily forgotten.

If I watch anything it is real life,

documentries, private footage, testomonies of people who were there.

Not one sided, different accounts, from different nations, mostly having to do with WW2,

But even disasters, peacetime.

And accounts of peoples experiences.
And song and music vids.

you tube.

A golden calf has been built and millions are currently waiting for it to speak.

Now all we have to do is wait for Moses to come down and smash the tablets.

So there will be no law to be judged by.

The Sopranos.

Almost finished the Pacific.. but seems like the last episode is a non-war related wrap up story.. don't really care for that right now.. so I'll finish this series whenever. As far as how good it was.. it was alright.. nothing groundbreaking.. probably currently too low on empathy to properly appreciate it.

I recently watched "Pacific", I had watched "Band of Brothers" several times. Perhaps I was too overwhelmed with the depiction of the horror of war to give thought to the overall "cinematic" merits... though would probably need to give more consideration beyond my initial gut reaction. As for the last episode being a "wrap up" I enjoyed that part of it, as I did with BoB. As you suggest certain films and such require a particular mental state for proper watching ...

I haven't seen Band Of Brothers yet. My parents bought the DVD series when I was a kid and we began to watch it but then a graphic sex scene started and they turned it off and that was that.. lol.

I do think one minor problem is comparing these two series to Saving Private Ryan. As you already probably know Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks are involved in both of them. Difficult for a ten hour series to compete with a tightly edited two hour film.

The most recent thing I've watched was a couple episodes of the Netflix series on Nurse Ratched. My sister insisted. I've always like One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, so I gave in. It's pretty interesting if you like the diabolical, lol. I don't know. I bore easily, I guess, but it was okay. I'm not going out of my way to watch the rest.

That's not weird. I didn't catch anything in what I watched to make the connection, unless you already knew. But I miss a lot of things, like how to spell "Ratched," lol.

I watched the movie recently with the idea that supposedly she is supposed to be the villain in mind.. but I still didn't see it. She wasn't cold hearted, and she did show some empathy in some scenes. I viewed her more as a victim of the system.. and just a realistic portrayal of a mental health care worker.

I think the movie is a little above the "villain" category.
