Note to Self
Mar. 24th, 2009 11:27 pmIf I choose to watch history docomentaries, I will remember they are intended for entertainment and I will not:
- Make snarky comments after phrases like "absolute proof" or "that can lead to just one conclusion"
- Point out to them that they are handling metal objects with bare hands.
- Watch any reenactments closely to find errors
- Grumble every time there's a DRAMATIC NOISE or FANCY GRAPHICS
- Turn off the TV if they show someone staring meaningfully off into the distance for any length of time
- Wonder if the "experts" being consulted are really crackpots pushing their pet theory
- Check online to find out what the commonly accepted current theories on that subject really are
