Also, there are a lot of guests on the show who talk about pretty much every subject, like why "science" on TV is not scientific, the best credit sequences of all time, kids' shows they ironically watch, and how TV reporters have changed.Ĭharlie's actual reviews are nothing to sneeze at, of course they're some of the funniest reviews I've ever seen. It all has kind of a whiny tone, because that's the tone of the show, but it's not at all just a show about reviews or complaining. I guess the show is known for Charlie's angry reviews and criticisms of famous people, but the best parts are the educational parts, like when he explains how much a TV show costs, who works on it, and why people who are making TV shows have to make a lot of compromises. Image description: the way I feel 100% of the time. It is about 7 years old and British, and it always starts with the tagline, "I'm Charlie Brooker and you're watching Screenwipe, a program all about television." I love it so much that I already watched all the episodes two or three times. Speaking of, and this is all out of order, but this summer I watched Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe. I'm making it sound boring but it is really interesting to learn about and see the show from that perspective. Melanie is a filmmaker so she doesn't just review the episodes and do meta, she also talks about the editing and camera angles and things like that, and she points out things the show does to save money. I also found this amazing website, mehlsbells, that writes about the show. Towards the end of the season, they killed off a character in such a stupid way that it ruined the whole show for me, but I'll probably get over it. I was loving it so much I rewatched it from the beginning and luxuriated in what a great show it is and I was so happy. I realized I haven't written in this blog for a whole year. What's mind-boggling is that ADULTS wrote this song and no one ever went, "What the fuck is this song about? This is fucking ridiculous."
But it's not brave or self-sacrificing because she isn't actually dying, she's just fantasizing about how she can be buried in satin, roses, and a river and how PEOPLE WILL FINALLY NOTICE HER! This is like a sheltered 12-year-old's view of death and as such is just dickish ("I've had just enough time"-pretty big talk for someone who isn't actually in this situation). You know, she's kind of putting on this brave, self-sacrificing face about how she doesn't want her mom to cry about her and she doesn't mind that she never got to have sex. On the other hand, it's a woman in her twenties fantasizing about how cool it would be to die at a young age and make everyone sad. I would happily listen to it if it was about something else. On the one hand, I find it to be a very good song aurally. I have been hating on this song for three years now but never sat down to write about it.
