....You mean I have to watch television too? TFV! This is not fair! You never told me that!
I'm sorry! I forgot! It's not normally that way, though, so I have an excuse.
Just, with this vid, I think it's important that those images have an inherent meaning to you, at least some of them. There's a scramble factor for me in every image (my ability to parse visual images is kind of whacked, and my eyes don't necessarily go to the right place in an image when I'm presented with it, which has made learning vids more challenging), so I'm probably more dependent on that recognition than most, but even so. I think you need that connection, or at least are much better off with it. Even very visually skilled people struggled with that vid when they didn't have the fannish background, both watching and history.
Like, I get all the explanations that you & cath & whoever that other person was gave me
Which is kind of true: witness my ability to watch a movie or a TV show on DVD and be utterly unable to identify any of the actors ever after.
*feels you on this*
Best Beloved enjoys playing a game at checkout lines, where she shows me covers of magazines and asks me to identify the famous person. And the sad part is, I can have just seen the person on the cover of another magazine, and still I won't know. Facial recognition: I don't have it.
Completely and totally off-topic: I just realized today that the reason I have been been keeping abreast of the earthling filter is because this username isn't on it -- mind adding me back on?
I'd be happy to! Um, is it just like friending a LJ person? I am somewhat clueless about all these fancy cross-service options.
