What is the "Hayes Code"

I'm watching #WhiteCollar S02E02, and somebody plays a classical tune. I instantly recognized it as a tune used in the first trailer for Godzilla: #KingOfTheMonsters.

Turns out, it's Clair De Lune by Claude DeBussy.

In ripping our DVDs to a local #PLEX server at home, I've decided to rewatch some #LittleHouseOnThePrairie, partially to see why it was such a phenomenon.

Part of it, I am sure, is the lack of selection on television in those days.

That said, I'm watching the pilot now. There are lots of basic things this show has that every show should have, but doesn't.

Good cinematography
Believable (if merely serviceable) dialogue
Subtle but good soundtrack
Good acting
Clearly defined and well distinguished characters
Clear motivations for the main characters

All of these things should be bare minimums for any TV show. But many popular shows fair to meet these requirements.

I must say, for some reason my grandmother (who lives with us now that her husband has passed away) is enamoured with CBS and CBS shows. However, they all seem to fail on one or more of these points.

It is such a sorry sight that five minutes of any modern #CBS show is obviously and considerably worse than five minutes of any #LittleHouseOnThePrairie episode. Broadcast television should have gotten better by now.

@schestowitz What's been so bad about this presidency in particular?

@pie ooh tell us more

@Monolithicman he would have sex with her once, because she's hot, say as much, and then leave cuz she's a total pain.

I could even see him saying "this is the part where you get with #Valkyrie, partially because you decide to hate men now, partially because the fandom demands it, and partially because #KevinFeige is part of the fandom. Hit that gender quota, lady!" And then he slaps her on the butt.

@Monolithicman That would just be a one night stand.

The only people who say "broaden your horizons" w/ music are just mad I don't like the same music they do

I'm shipping #CaptainMarvel & #WarMachine because that'd be better than shipping #CaptainMarvel & #Valkerie. I don't want an LGBT superhero in the MCU, at least til we get the #YoungAvengers.
