Logocentric (adj). Regarding words and language as a fundamental expression of an external reality (especially applied as a negative term to traditional Western thought by postmodernist critics). Sometimes I just write whatever I feel like.

To qualify for my Watch List every month, the following has to be something that I've watched that's new to me. It doesn't necessarily have to be a current show, but it can't be reruns or rewatches of something I've already seen. So if I'm including it in this list, it means this month is the first time I've watched it. I'll put "DNF" (Did Not Finish) next to anything that I stopped watching and have no immediate plans to finish. Movies Cold Pursuit In the Line of Fire Leo The Omen Damien: Omen II Omen III: The Final Conflict Trolls: Band Together Wish Television Parks & Recreation (Season 2) Selling Sunset (Season 7) Undercover Billionaire (Season 1) There wasn't anything I watched in November that I was absolutely in love with. I thought Disney's new animated movie Wish was enjoyable, but not particularly memorable, and In the Line of Fire was a compelling thriller but pretty dated at this point. For some reason I had never seen anything in The Omen franchise, so I thought it would be a fun bit of post-Halloween movie watching and wasn't disappointed. I still have two more entries in the series (the fourth one is about Damien's daughter, and there's a recent remake of the original) that I'll probably get to eventually. My favorite thing I watched this month, though, was Undercover Billionaire (which I talked about in more detail here: "Undercover Billionaire" ), which was an interesting experiment where a very wealthy person (the title "billionaire" is questionable) gets dropped off in a random city in the United States with $100, an old pickup truck, and a smartphone with no contacts or other resources... and his challenge is to build a business worth a million dollars in 90 days. It's an interesting (albeit somewhat flawed) theory about proving whether achieving the American Dream is still a possibility in this country. TOP PICK: Undercover Billionaire |
