I just finished watching the second last installment of the Tudors. I love British history and I love British T.V./movies. BBC and I are really good friends. And while I love the Tudors... well, it is a little over the top sexually.
I have begun to think that the art of subtlety is no longer among us. What happened to those directors who knew that the person watching had a brain in their head? Perhaps I live in the eternal deception. Perhaps I'm mistaken in my belief that less is more. I'm sick to death of having my head cleaved apart with over the top images both sexual and violent. Give me something good. Too bad the Tudors is littered with such pointless pornography. It would have been good otherwise though somewhat misleading in their portrayal of British history. (There are blatant changes in the actual history to make the story better... but I ask you what's better than the real thing? I mean in the end Henry the VIII married six women and had no success with any of them... it's a fit story for the soaps... reality T.V. at it's best... why falsify information. It doesn't add to the story. Instead I have to keep checking the facts to make sure that I haven't forgotten all that I learned in school!)
That's it... that's all I got for tonight folks.... I'll be back tomorrow with hopefully something better. Hm!
