    Why do shows depend so much on misinterpretation of like, discovery in trials

    I got the vertical pole extension for my projector setup, so now I have a 37 inch diagonal projector screen that throws on the table and is visible even in bright room lighting. This will be perfect for nerd stuff like RPGs or Battletech. :)

    Objection!

    If trials in TV shows were like trials in real life they would be mostly tedious and boring.

    They moistly come out at night, moistly.

    The concert at the palace last night was absolutely magical. Seeing and hearing the Viennese philharmonic orchestra play Dvorak (my boy!), Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, and others was an experience I'll never forget. Easily worth the 3+ hour line.

    Blue is actually my favorite color, although I am amused that it shows up as Red in the poll color.

    It does show up as red, right next to your predominantly red avatar

    But you claim to like.. Blue, was it?

    this is a good headline

    A Women-Only Wonder Woman Screening Is Predictably Upsetting Dumb-Arse Sexists

    and the editor's note at the bottom makes me sigh
    I've disabled comments on this post because, predictably, it devolved into complaints of "this is sexist against men". If you read the article, you'd understand that women have been underrepresented in superhero films for generations.

    This has to change. We're going to keep writing about it and keep advocating for that change. You don't have to agree with our stance. This doesn't affect you negatively. Let it affect other people, who aren't you, positively. This is not a zero sum game.

    If you don't like an article, don't read it. Read something else.

    While I will not miss transphobia I will miss transphobic jokes as a quick and easy signifier for who's a shithead. I don't have to worry about that for a while, though.

    I think it's signal loss as you get screenwriters who don't have legal experience or any specialized knowledge on the subject but are aping the shows they liked when they were younger which in turn were aping other shows which in turn were aping Perry Mason or whatever

    i wonder which are the bigger offenders, the shows that just use the law as a backdrop for soap operatics (The Practice, LA Law, etc) or the ones that purport to be hard-hitting like Law & Order

    At least, I feel like each show you mentioned is similarly bad about it

    what people should watch is Dragnet

    as far as I can tell from my position as an interested layman it's still probably the best look at the reality of police work

    A lot of men who react against that kind of thing do think it's harming them, though; they think men are oppressed, women have control of the world and particularly of sex, masculinity is under assault, and the natural order of human relations and society is being disrupted by feminists for their own gain and misandrist glee (which of course means suffering and destruction for humanity in general)

    The first episode was so bad I couldn't

    Or at least I think it was the first episode?

    It was basically a reefer madness propaganda short

    But then again I've never devoted much time to any of them

    i suspect that in overall artistic terms the former probably are better because at least if they get the law stuff wrong they might still have interesting and compelling characters and human interactions

    I liked LA Law and Boston Legal for instance

    whereas NCIS and Law and Order and etc etc just feel kind of exploitative with that whole ripped-from-the-headlines thing and they don't make up for it with characters I can even so much as tell apart much less care about

    Perry Mason is great though because it's basically a murder mystery where the courtroom stands in for the agatha christie parlor where the detective accueses Lady Wynderby so like, whatever

    I loved watching Dragnet as a kid. Joe Friday was the man.

    I still watch the clip of the "big speech" every once in a while.
