People are hyping up Curb again and I think Seinfeld might be the best sitcom of all time and all indicators say I should like Curb.
My issue is Curb’s dialog is improvised and every time I try to watch it, the actors are just… kind of bad at it?
During the N64 generation I had remorse over trading in a launch window title and I literally could not find it to rebuy it. We spent hours going to every retailer in the area. The GameCube hadn’t launched yet and this game was effectively “lost” to me. I can buy that game in seconds online now.

It doesn’t make me feel good
It’s interesting to see younger people’s attitudes towards lost media. The idea that basically everything ever created should be preserved is fairly radical and new. I’m not even talking about how x% of films (mostly very old) have been lost. Things have changed just in my life.
For the first time in my life, I won’t see the new Star Wars movie in theaters. I’ll probably have to wait a few months to see it at home. If I had missed TPM in theaters, I would have had to wait almost a year. ROTJ took 3 years.
It was torture feeling like the only person on the planet not laughing hysterically at the Apatow comedies where the direction seemed to be just let the cameras roll on a scene for an hour while the actors riff and then pick your favorite line for the final cut.
The actors constantly buy time for themselves by repeating what they just heard which just drags out every interaction.
“did you go to the store?”
“Did I go to the store? Of course I did. I bought chips!”
“You bought chips? I wanted pretzels!”
“You wanted pretzels?…”
I can’t get passed this.
