fire engine and ambulance have turned up and are both visibly confused as to why: not sure myself, but my guess would be: underfunded mental health services. let's cut them some more.

I mean in the UK at least up until the 1990s (unless my memory is completely screwed) you would encounter the cartoons at fairly random times as filler in the schedule, like a sort of part of TV grammar, which obviously is just not a thing about how kids experience TV now!

one about a boy trying to make the perfect hamburger but it's called the perfect hamburger and everyone fucking asks about that one. it's by the the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency man.

I mean there are some tells but if you squint this really is a 'could be 1960s, could be 2020s' one

series (maybe?) about a school class who kept going into space? stocked by libraries in v early 90s? no idea!

Ed Jefferson @edjefferson.com · 11h

the other thing is books that felt BIG to you but are just nothing. something that felt VERY YOUNG ADULT involving teens using BIKES to solve CRIME who was it by what was it called no idea

I mean I'm from a 3 generation Just William family as my granny used to have to 'be' Ginger (she wasn't so?) when they played it in the playground in the 1930s but I felt like a bit of an outlier when I was into it as a kid 30+ years ago!

i think the martin jarvis radio 4 readings have become their own sort of thing but I think the last reprint run for the vast majority of the books must have been over 30 years ago

Ed Jefferson @edjefferson.com · 13h

or more pointedly, done as an avatar mockbuster

000

Ed Jefferson @edjefferson.com · 13h

oh god yeah, I remember them still sort of being around in the early 1990s in the way that stuff lingers in libraries etc but I assume long gone now

Ed Jefferson @edjefferson.com · 13h

ah i see, they starting making the disney one in 2009 but didn't release it until 2012 so the asylum clearly just banged it out once the disney one got announced lol

100

Ed Jefferson @edjefferson.com · 13h

lmao The Asylum did John Carter three years before Disney. what the hell.

120

Ed Jefferson @edjefferson.com · 13h

but as you say, mental, you could literally just pay someone to do an avatar adjacent film that wasn't based on IP and it would have given you precisely as much benefit as doing John Carter in 2012!

Saw this last night and despite a few real technical issues getting tangled up with pretend technical issues (assume first night issues) would thoroughly recommend - a random US high school yearbook inventively adapted into a one man play, really clever idea/execution sohotheatre.com/events/josep...

unless it's been cancelled. if it's been cancelled then i never said it was good.

Ed Jefferson @edjefferson.com · 13h

though i guess one slight counterpoint to this is that immediately prior on J Depp's filmography is his cameo in 21 Jump Street, which was an absolutely brilliant film about a property I did not care about whatsoever and had barely heard of

Ed Jefferson @edjefferson.com · 13h

(I think they could have got one of them modern days prestige TV shows out of it - the 'soap opera but suddenly with a vampire' bit really demands it being episodic I think)

020

Ed Jefferson @edjefferson.com · 13h

I think a bit too in thrall to the kitchy original which is quite a tedious watch but is a genuinely odd artifact that's sort of tough to recreate as a $100 million movie.

Ed Jefferson @edjefferson.com · 13h

the only thing I can really remember about Dark Shadows is that Jonny Lee Miller does a quite funny Roger Collins but the number of people who could have possibly cared about that must have been fairly limited by that point

120

Ed Jefferson @edjefferson.com · 13h

in both cases i guess they had slightly more cultural cachet in the US than here but it still feels weird that e.g. The Lone Ranger and Dark Shadows were considered goers as movie revivals in the 2010s.
