FFL might make for a good episode of "Black Mirror", a UK TV anthology
which takes on the dark side of tech. I particularly liked the 2nd
episode of season one. Why it takes so long for some of these shows
to make it to the US is beyond me. Comparatively though, US TV looks
pretty bad. "Black Mirror" did have a run on DirectTV last year in
the US.
Speaking of which I just finished off all 10 episodes of Robert
Rodriguez's "From Dusk Till Dawn". I was a little disappointed but
not surprised that the arc sort of fell a bit flat after episode six.
Rodriguez is used to making movie and a TV series is a different
animal. It was like he had about six or seven ideas for episodes but
perhaps someone demanded ten. This is another reason why I like the
foreign six episode series. Two of which I finished off this week
including Australia's "Secrets and Lies" and the UK's "Happy Valley".
Both were on Netflix as was "From Dusk Till Dawn."
As for FFL, well it is the dog days of summer and things may perk up a
bit more next week. Then we have the graffiti trolls who behave like
10 year olds. Good reason to banish them to the killfile.

Not exactly sure who you target audience is. You sound really scared of
the graffiti trolls so why are you feeding them? Plus you sound like you
have a cob stuck up your ass. Go figure.

He has been on vacation. But FFL seems to have gone mostly to fluff
lately, with a lot of short spammy twinkie brain posts so there is
not much to read here any more, no discussions of any substance. The
curiosity quotient of the FFL denizens is rapidly approaching zero.
If you want to hone your mind here, you might as well pound your head
against a wall. With the disappearance of Judy Stein, the main burr
around which interesting discussions developed is gone. Barry is one
of the few posters here who can write a coherent post longer than a
couple of lines. Also missing in action is Curtis who provided some
of the best reasoned retorts to various arguments that appeared here.
Life goes on, and dies, dies, dies.

I have not really followed FFL regularly for a while. Is Barry
(turq) on vacation or did he say goodbye to FFL? I miss his posts.
