Desperately Seeking Despair

This from Steven Chase

"Judging by this yearâ€™s Best Picture nominees, you couldnâ€™t have a worse time at the movies if there was an active shooter in the theaterâ€ - Bill Maher
NOMADLAND: "If you want to feel guilty, dirty and bad you can watch this one where the woman winds up living in her van after her husband dies of cancer.â€
JUDAS/BLACK MESSIAH: "leader of the Black panthers is betrayed by an informant and killed by the FBI"
MINARI: "dirt poor Korean immigrants in Arkansas put all their food in a barn, then grandma has a stroke and burns it down.â€
TRIAL OF THE CHICAGO 7: "prosecution of seven activists who rioted during the 1968 Democratic National Convention."
PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN: "a girl avenges a murderous rapist, but then, he kills her too."
THE FATHER: "story of a octogenarian who is descending into dementia."
SOUND OF METAL (which I actually liked!): "about a rock musician going deaf."

Could Hollywood not imagine a story in which we would be uplifted, inspired or simply entertained?

Tim adds:

They want to keep America depressed and miserable, it seems to me. These are movies designed to engender despair in the populace.

1 My wife likes "Grey's Anatomy" so we've been watching it for years. It's enough to make me never go near a hospital. If doctors are that self involved and crying that much I want nothing to do with hospitals.

Anyway, they seem to think that portraying the endless misery of Covid is entertainment. Even this week, patients are dying of Covid and the doctors are having hysterics over it â€“ throwing ventilators and screaming at the nurses, who are themselves weeping.

And they portray it badly. Some people are wearing paper masks, while doctors are wearing hoods with air hoses down their backs. The hoods, however, do not seal around the back of their faces, huge air gaps, and they are wearing these hoods with short sleeved scrubs and no gloves. Who writes this shit?

2 My wife watches Greys too although I won't darken my digital doorway with it. Yeah; it's tripe.

I've been going to the hospital every day for weeks now with my wife and most of the staff is not only not concerned about Covid but are sick of the restrictions. One nurse said to me the other day "I am so done with this." They see it for the horsepoop it is.

The writers of that drama need to actually go to hospitals and see for themselves how things work.

3 Geez, you guys are into self-flagellation, aren't you?
Martha and I are watching reruns of "Quantum Leap." If you're not familiar with it, it's an old sci-fi with Steve Bakula doing inadvertent time travel to a different place every show, along with the wonderful Dean Stockwell. Steve is supposed to fix a problem every week and manages to.

4 Dana, did you see the part where I said, "my wife likes" the show? I love my wife sufficiently to suffer through the show. I do it gladly. She brightens my life.

5 Same here Bill, although I rarely actually suffer through the show, preferring to watch reruns of Star Trek or Home Improvement on at that time.

They have been running reruns of Quantum Leap on Comet, a broadcast Sci Fi channel Dana. I never really watched it; I suppose I should check it out.
