Last Monday I did something I haven't done in a long, long time. I didn't watch 24. I couldn't bring myself to do it. With a show like 24 you have to suspend your disbelief in order to really enjoy it. But when you do something like that, when you suspend your disbelief, you expect the producers to be kind to you. You don't want them to take advantage of the vulnerable situation you've placed yourself. For instance, you have to suspend your disbelief to enjoy Star Wars. If you spend the whole movie worried about how storm troopers move around in their armor or fretting about how the Millenium Falcon can hover, then you'll never enjoy the film. You give up the reality you know so that you can enjoy the flim.
I just can't do that anymore with 24. I can't believe that Jack Bauer can do all the things he does do in the show (although, if they'd accentuate a god-figure motif in his character arc that might make it somewhat tolerable). Maybe you feel differently, but I can't stand this anymore.
Sorry, that's all I have to blog. |
