King of Rock N Roll? Well if there was one person who predated most of the people who are presented as such and created the style that led to rock, it was most definitely Carl Perkins. He was the first to rock up the country beats and style into the format we call rock n roll. Paul McCartney famously said without him there's be no rock and definitely no Beatles.

That's how I feel about Seinfeld.

I never caught the premise of Seinfeld. Oh, wait a min, there wasn't one. For me it was incredibly dumb and boring.

 

[KingAHolic]

I think Seinfeld is/was... so so - it had it's moments .. but to me it's like a joke told over and over ... of course, I'm not really a "sit com" person, so, I've never really be impressed with any sit-coms....

My husband loves the show. I leave the room to avoid the irritation--lol

I dunno, seems to me, at least the one's I for some reason had to endure, twas about a pack of lying whiny self-absorbed narcissists, messing up other peoples day when ever they could, just made me want to strangle 'em all
Personally, I think The Flintstones had better writing, and that makes me

 

[arista]

I liked the Flinstones.

I liked the Flinstones.

I still do...well, I would, if I had a channel I could watch 'em...and of course, The Honeymooners..And awayyy we go!!!

I don't think Meryl Streep is a good actress, at least not since Sophie's Choice, but what do I know?

I love her.

My son is taking a film course. He often has assignments on different directors, and we often discuss them. He asked me what I felt was Woody Allen's "claim to fame". I said that he was probably the mostly over rated director, over rated writer, and over rated actor. Kind a reverse triple-threat.

Right. Never been a Woody Allen fan. Never thought his movies were funny or that he was any good acting or directing.

I don't like the Shawshank Redemption film.

I caved.This non 'phoner' now has a smartphone. My dumb phone died today and the stores around here for my carrier had nothing but smartphones in the store. Just re-upped the plan couple of months ago, so didn't have much choice if I wanted a phone right away, and I did (keeping track of kids-I've grown accustomed to that). Now I have to figure out how to use the darn thing...

I don't know about the ladies, but I've always preferred a stick shift because when I'm in the driver's seat, I want to feel like I'm driving the car more than riding in it.

My poor mom could never understand. To her, it took extra energy and attention, and it was inconceivable that someone would prefer a stick shift.

This lady prefers to shift, but most people drive just to get somewhere. I drive to have fun.

I like to feel like I'm in control of my car, not the other way around. I have a stick (which is what I've driven since day one when I started driving) and I also have an newer automatic. I prefer the stick. The auto just doesn't have the get-up-and-go like the stick does. Plus, your auto doesn't know that there's a hill coming up and can't downshift for you until its halfway up the hill. The auto does have all wheel drive which comes in handy in the winter months tho.....

Never read a Hemingway, so can't judge him. But, he sounds boring.
Read Catcher In The Rye. Wish I hadn't. Boring. It's a classic? It's classic sh*te.
Woody Allen? The only movie I liked of his was an old one where they hold an orb and get stoned and go into an upright tube to have sex. Forgot the name. Oh, the name just came to me: Sleepers. I grew tired of his neurotic New Yorker schtick after the second movie.
Never really got into Seinfeld. Can't stand the 'George' character. Never would have been invited into my house/life, etc. To me he's the typical loud-mouthed self-centered obnoxious New Yorker. I would have steered well clear of Kramer. He's just 'wrong'.
Loved Friends. Wish my friends were that cool. Adored Phoebe because you just never knew where she was going 'to go'.

I'd say that the classic Hemingway story, if you want to get a taste, would be The Old Man and the Sea. It's actually a pretty good story, a relatively short one, so you haven't given up too much of your life, and you can put it down, say, "This is as good as it gets," say you've read Hemingway, and move on.

Catcher in the Rye. There is a whole fascination with damaged characters protagonists, and I mean damaged for damaged's sake. I'm just not there, I guess.

Okay, what Friends got right and Taxi got right was having a wacked-out character in the troupe. But make the character likable. Seinfeld for me didn't get it quite right. I never thought of Cosmo Kramer (see, I have watched a few) as being quite right.

Watching Seinfeld, to me, was like watching a human version of a pin ball machine game- one character bounces over here and 'hits' that character who, in turn, bounces over there and 'hits' that character who in turn, etc., etc., etc......

The only story I genuinely enjoyed by him was "A Clean,Well-Lighted Place". Every book annoyed me

Why swim when you can fly? Ducks are disturbed creatures. Where do they go when the pond is frozen? Cleveland, I think. There's so much water moving underneath the bridge. Then someone drops a lady over the railing and you have to go in after her 'cause she took your bait...straight to the bottom. Cue P.J. Harvey.

I seriously think that some people can never say sorry. What is up with so many people saying "my bad". This does not mean the same to me as I am sorry.
