ha!… Corbett had a pleasant, very clever ending to the video.
Interesting.
I am not familiar with “Black Mirror”.
I watched one season of Black Mirror on my friend’s recommendation. I had never really discussed the content with her after that.
Anyway, I don’t think this show goes in the direction of normalization of depicted theme, but borders more on the side of analysis of “what if” scenarios. I draw this conclusion from the fact I find most of the content not as glorified (what many war movies do with this topic) but quite disgusting instead.
This show reminded me of the old “The outer limits” show. Back then I used to watch a lot of TV.
manbearpig,
I am too busy watching TV sitcoms, “Real Housewives” and Wrestling. I should get to the video this week.
(Just joking. Been working a lot.)
Just now watched it.
Thanks! That was well worth watching.
To me, it seems like this series has some profound depth.
I think that “depth” can be found within many different TV shows and movies. Maybe not in the entire ball of wax on a show, but perhaps aspects contain depth.
I toast the writers. …the writers (and artists) who bring depth to the screen.
“Emerald City” was one series which had a lot of beauty to it. Someone knew how to capture the aesthetic value of places around the world. Also, the writers were very clever in how they portrayed the “Wizard of Oz” with a twist.
“Images” for the show.

Parts were filmed in
Croatia
Hungary
Spain
Some gorgeous “real places” backdrops to the show.

According to Still, the yellow brick road was actually golden. Here it’s supposed to be poppy?
The plot line has complete twists to the original Wizard of Oz. It is a completely different rendition. I was amazed how the writers incorporated the characters. And the characters themselves have agendas or traits which are not part of the original story.
This only ran one season and was cancelled by NBC. So the full scoop of the story has yet to be told. I could tell that there was a lot of storyline for future episodes. For a TV series, I was impressed with its beauty and clever rewrite.

I guess the normal NBC audiences prefer shows like “America’s got Talent”, “Ninja Warrior”(a compete type show), Days of Our Lives, cookie cutter cop shows and silly sitcoms.
mkey,
Have you been to some of the locations in Croatia or Hungary?
Za dom spremni! (joke)
As much as I have grown to despise nationalism, I’m glad to see a person or two from my general neck of the woods. Understaning the world better than the other ants, or at least apearing to, can get a bit lonsome sometime.
I agree with everything you said avout Dubrovnik, it’s become a commercial mecca for cheap tourists from all over. We can see a similar scenario on all of our coast, just not as extreme as in Dubrovnik.
What’s so said about our very existence is that we can’t draw lines between simple issues such as infrastructure, industry, tourism and are unable to realize the need for a middle ground. Lets just run everything into the ground, instead.
As if natural beauty or cultural heritage is something that should invoke a sense of pride.
Mina,
Thank you so much for your Croatian feedback. I know mkey is from that area along the coast. I love reading mkey’s comments and have learned a lot about the region.
Like you, mkey, Pablo and others have pointed out…
It seems like the full appreciation of beauty, art, culture has often becomes a degraded fat-slob & plastic-coated air-head rich-lady veneer tourista type commercialism.
Part of Croatia was taken to North Texas and “commercialized”, about 20 minutes from me.

Jim also knows where this is, because he used to live about 20-30 minutes away.
I guess Corbett is in transit, because this tidbit about Croatia is still pending moderation…

This is obviously a very high class joint, it’s reminiscent of those juppies who think they’re Japanese because they decorated their apartment a certain way.
Either way, the village looks pretty authentic for an Adriatic coast type of affair, they should have put stone pavement instead of asphalt, but it’s good as it is. I can’t place that “zin zen” thing, but OK.
One thing that stood out was that thing about zoning or lack of it. It’s pretty much impossible to build anything here, while following the law, without jumping through hoops for years while obtaining every damn possible goddamn “permit” under this Sun of ours.
Rhetorical question for the day: if permits and licenses are issued to legalise things that are deemed illegal, when has it become illegal to build a home for oneself and their family? I understand limitations will always apply, but this is getting ridiculous. Here, I mean, obviously not in Texas.
Mkey,
I hear ya about “permits”. My 40 year old son is a supervisor for contractors and manages major construction sites. The permit issue is a racket for the government bodies. Expensive as sin, and time consuming. Headaches galore. Costs galore on the permits. Inspection. Wait, wait, wait for the inspectors so you can work. …and competency/care/concern of many contractors is a commodity long-gone-down-the-drain.
Silly mandates too. Like a kitchen must have a window, because people might get depressed in the kitchen without a window.–True…no lie…City code in rich Plano, TX.
Rant. Rant, rant, and more rant.
We live in a world of paper pushers gone digital.
manbearpig says:
During a class I asked the following question:… “Who wants a total surveillance grid?” … …The prevailing opinion was “more than 60 percent”.
manbearpig, Was this 60% folks who actually desired it? or was the 60% a speculated opinion of a percentage of the population who would want it?

I mention the above video to help point out one aspect which we have in our control when it comes to TV or movies…or food or products or whatever.
While often the Corporatocracy tries to influence us, we also influence the Corporatocracy.
We see our influence in many areas, from GMOs to tidbits in TV and movies.
Like Corbett points out, there is balance. And he encourages real world interaction, rather than being sucked into a virtual prison of TV or phone or internet. Choices. And each of us are free will individuals with different interests and skills, free to make our own decisions, not bound by what others think (whether they be Corbetteers or normies).
No matter where we are, we feed the machine. Anything that has ever been transported has helped to feed the machine.
I think a lot depends upon one’s own mindset in how we individually choose different options.
And, of major importance, I think that helping to raise the awareness of others is key towards shaping our future and influencing the Corporatocracy.
So, in essence, I don’t have a problem with folks watching TV or movies.
I certainly don’t like to impose a “moral code of acceptable behavior” on free thinkers nor on normies.
For me personally, I am kind of selective on what I will watch on TV or movies, just like I am selective of how I spend my time. Some things I watch out of curiosity and fathoming trends, and some shows for enjoyment or entertainment.
Like I mentioned above, there are two sides to this “viewing TV and movies”. While they may try to influence others, we also can “influence their content”.
As far a feeding the machine…
We all end up feeding the machine in different ways. Watching YouTube feeds the machine just like watching TV and movies.
Every person who wears clothes has fed the machine. You are feeding the machine if you have an internet provider. Anything that has been transported has fed the machine.
For me personally, all this boils down to a mindset. Kind of like an attitude of trying to decentralize in ways which fit the situation for the individual.
But I won’t put forth a moral code for others to live by.
ha! That KFC cheerleader cashiers story was from 1975 & 76. You sound like a spouse digging up something from 40 years ago.
Yes. If you are gonna impose a moral code, I certainly broke it Saturday night.
I went over to my ex-wife’s, petted the dogs, had organic grassfed burgers, organic popcorn and watched some TV series show she wanted to see. I was kind of bored with that particular show. But I did enjoy our time together a few weeks back watching “Game of Thrones”.
Just so you know Pablito, I have lived for extended periods of time without TV or seeing a movie.
Actually, one series I really like… “Rawhide” Season 3. Drovers have a type of ethics I enjoy. along with an anarchist attitude about ’em.
I’m okay with you trying to give me a moral code. The whole world, its governments, its religions, it populace,…they all know what is best for me and try to mandate what kind of moral code I should have.
So, Pablito, your moral code mandate for me to live by sounds pretty tame. And I like your brand of hot sauce, ’cause you always spice up the conversations.
Maybe a good poker game sometime, with chips and salsa, whisky and tobacco, and high stakes with a dime limit on the raise.
I love you brother.
No, I haven’t.
If someone originates a communication about it, I will let you and mkey know.
By the way, Pablito, I thought of you the other day.

Ai ai ai, there are so many fine Spanish movies to watch.
Pablo,
Thanks for translating.
When I owned my bookstores and wholesale operation circa 2001, I had about 30+ employees.
Two guys who worked in the warehouse were from Mexico. Great guys and their English was better than most Tejanos. And they read more books than most Americans.
I asked the guys one day how they snuck across the border and other stuff about when they first got here. They told me that when they arrived in Dallas, they couldn’t speak English.
They learned English by watching American TV.
One day, my office gets a letter from the government saying that they had a question about the Social Security number of one of the two guys.
So I sit down with the guy and he tells me his Social Security number is fake. He was sad. He knew it meant he would be fired. So, I “fired” him from my legal payroll and told the bookkeeper to put his hours on my paycheck. So he got to keep his job and I would pay him cash every week from my paycheck.
From many different sides I have heard there are no other such hardworking people as Mexicans. Probably more valid for emmigrants, but none the less.
I (not by conscious choice) quit turning that thing on about 15 years, but rather started doing other things. BEST thing that my daughter and ever did!! The time her & I have spent doing other things together is irreplaceable!!! I raised her by myself and many people have asked how? The answer is clearly “cut the cable, blow up tv and get involved in everything they do” Crap I even volunteer on a board of directors for her figure skating club during her time in that!
You’re so right on this one. People will often claim they don’t have the time/money/whatever but will completely gloss over wasting said resources on completely reprehensible bullshit. So kids grow up under the influence of the lowest common denominator at their schools and the cycle is complete.
I’ve gone boobtube-less now for more than two decades!
So you are preaching to the choir with me. 🙂
It is great advice though.
As for i-devices, my cell goes in my car just for emergencies.
I have traveled around the world and always am distraught to see just how anti-social people have become, just walking the streets staring into their i-devices.

Could be.
Regardless, like Techdirt pointed out, the EQUIFAX Public Relations’ version probably understates just how grave the hacking was.

I don’t see any positive outcome from TV broadcasts unless they are deterring aliens from wanting to invade our planet.
Vacations over; time to catch-up on the Corbett show. I remember the black and white TV.we had when I was young. My parents both referred to it as the boob-tube or the idiot-box. I must admit mom and dad had no illusion of the negative connotation that potential uses the TV had. As I got older they seem to have gotten smarter and my appreciations of their insights became keener. I do regret not telling them how much I valued those intuitions and insights they possessed.
It’s great to see so many great comments and variety that could peek anyones interests. Its a regular Truman Show. You never know what is comming next. You could call the Corbett Report a show,its raw but entertainmenting and rewarding educationally. Comes like radio or with a screen. The interactive nature is an improvement over conventional TV. I do not think I have traded one screen for another. I left old TV years ago and on a whim picked up an Ipad just for kicks and something new to explore some science projects I was exploring. I’m a firm Allen Watts type for books over digital data for depositories of truth and history. Book clubs exchanging ideas are so different from the singular disassociation you see in the detachment of Iphones and laptops. No comparison. Thirty people in a pub silently sitting with their noses in a screen, zoned out from all around them is not the way to exchange ideals and as Mr. James says connect with the real world around you. However, I suppose they could be typing on their logged-in Corbett Report Leave a reply comment. Time to submit. Thanks James you are appreciated! Nice cinematography.
