It's Monday morning and I'll allow myself one posting based on the a.m.'s quick scan of what's out there on the web. The choices? Paris Hilton's T-Mobile pager records and phone book... or perhaps,
this engaging interview with our friend, the author, critic and programmer Kent Jones. appearing in
Gothamist.
From the piece:
"I mean, I really, really hate TV -- the commercials, the 'hand-held' camera, the music, the personalities of the newscasters. I've given things like
Six Feet Under and
The Sopranos a try, and I see their merits but they seem like canned art to me -- stuff that's already been carefully digested (the non-functional American family, the odd juxtaposition of the macabre and the everyday) and then sold as cutting edge: how else could it get on TV? Having said that, I love old TV:
The Honeymooners,
The Outer Limits,
The Twilight Zone, which I'm watching a lot of right now with my sons."
