...Eclectic?
It just occurs to me that our last two posts concerned
Alfred Hitchcock’s ‘30s masterpiece “The Lady Vanishes”, followed by modern cable
TV horror-fest The Walking Dead!
Would this somehow allow me to be described as “Eclectic”? If
not, it's still a pretty good leap from one topic of interest to the next… eh,
wot?
A strange pairing such as this recalls a similarly odd DVD
purchase of 2010. You can read about
that HERE.
Eclectic? Me! …Heh! Fancy that!
Yes, you are eclectic, Joe.
ReplyDeleteCongrats!
Really? Wow!
ReplyDelete…And I didn’t even bring up Disney comics, or Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea!
Come back Monday, and I’ll demonstrate still more “eclect-ibility” with a Fifties Sci-Fi post including a look at its stars, its director , the subsequent things it influenced – and the large DVD set it was a part of.
ReplyDeleteAnd, a Silver Age Gold Key comic review is not far behind. Perhaps, I AM eclectic after all!
…Imagine that!
You are definitely eclectic, Joe!
ReplyDeleteBut so must be most of your readers...
Looking forward to your continued posts.
And speaking of a wide diversity of topics, I look forward to your review of the new Top Cat movie!!
Well, if both you and “Abe” think I’m eclectic, Scarecrow, then I must be! I’m not about to disagree with folks whose opinion I respect. And, as I go, so go my readers, I suppose… We’re ALL eclectic! ‘Nuff said!
ReplyDeleteBut, the reason for this post, in truth, is that I never thought I WAS eclectic!
I started-out with my fannish-nucleus of “1960s Sci-Fi and Fantasy TV Shows”, “1940s thru 1960s Cartoons” (…Theatrical or TV, mostly by Warner Bros. or Hanna-Barbera), and “Dell, Gold Key, and DC Comic Books” – and sorta spread out from there. But, at least as *I* saw myself and my tastes, that was a very tight and low orbit, that I tended to remain locked into.
But, looking over the range of posts I’ve done here, I think I can agree that the orbit has widened considerably. And the age of DVD – and the undreamed-of access to an equally undreamed-of variety of entertainment products of present and bygone eras – is probably the single greatest factor in that widening.
Still, if I decide I don’t like something, or decide it’s just not for me, I’ll simply not write about it on the Blog, rather than bash it.
There’s a new Top Cat movie? I didn’t know that… but, if its 3D / CGI rather than traditional animation, I’d probably “not write about it” and let you all decide for yourselves.
Tomorrow, though, get ready for one REALLY BIG SPIDER! …He says, “eclectically”!
