What are you watching?

Haven't watched it quite yet, but I am very excited about seeing Lawrence of Arabia on the big screen again thursday afternoon!!!!

It's an annual event for one of the film classes. I'm actually in the class this year, but last year I just snuck in.

I've only seen it twice on 'the big screen' -mind if I come and join you?
 
Now watching "Eduard Zimmermann: Meine grössten Fälle" on YouTube.

Eduard Zimmermann was the premier presenter in the German series Aktenzeichen XY... ungelöst -which was the premier 'show' on TV asking for the public's help in solving crime.

I remember watching this with my grandparents as I grew up and still find the very somber way they used to do it quite thrilling -disturbing actually!

The way those 'shows' depicted crimes was chilling, direct and to the point, in such a way that no fictional show ever since has been able to surpass; the eeriness of that matter-of-fact presentation of horrible crimes has just staid with me for all these years.

The lack of (pop-music-)soundtracks and fantasy-effects (their best visual effect was passing a non-clear sheet of glass in front of the camera!) together with a low-key and on-point narration of the filmed segments (the second 'star' of the show was the narrator Wolfgang Grönebaum) made the horror even more real.
 
I wouldn't have believed it if I weren't sitting here watching something else on YT and happened to notice it starting on tv: they're re-re-re-re-re-running Cheers! -and here I was; thinking Frasier was a show way to old to re-run!
 
Supernatural Ep 01x21 as I have been trying to get into this show.

Season 1 was okay. I hear it improves though, which is good, because 'okay' wouldn't cut it for the 5 more seasons of viewing I have ahead of me.
 
"It’s Friday, Friday
Gotta get down on Friday
Everybody’s lookin’ forward to the weekend, weekend
Friday, Friday
Gettin’ down on Friday
Everybody’s lookin’ forward to the weekend"

I wish I could scrub this from my brain and eyes...
