  • I was pretty hooked on Babylon 5 from the start, and I can’t say the same for series like Star Trek: TNG! To me the world felt pretty fleshed-out and cohesive really early.

    I actually need to pick Babylon 5 back up, I can struggle with watching series consistently, even ones I like.

    I might be in the minority but I watched The Day the Earth Stood Still twice in my twenties and thirties and I found it almost impossibly slow. I’m not used to the pacing of old movies, so that might be part of it.

    But I also was expecting more of a science fiction movie than a social drama. It has a robot on the cover. Haha!

    I watched it the second time to understand what I didn’t see the first time, and realized it’s just not for me. I can’t remember my particular complaints other than the pacing, which might be fine if the kid is used to it.












  • If I remember correctly (I don’t want to look it up right now), John was physically abusive to one of his wives as well (Cynthia?).

    Also, imagine being Julian and seeing your dad go on about being a family man in magazines and doting on his new son… when your dad essentially hates you. You’d see all the pictures in magazines, too. Covers of albums. It’s gross.

    John and Yoko were kind of monsters in a lot of ways, I lost a lot of respect for John Lennon when I found out about that stuff.
