You want painful acting? Try watching the first couple episodes of "Buck Rogers" from the late 1970s. --Let's just say it *doesn't* wear well when it comes to human relationships. (shuddering)

I thought the book was terrible as well - I’ve tried reading Margret Atwood several times, guess I’m just too “unsophisticated” - I find her stuff boring, poorly constructed and painfully obvious. I guess the standards for “literature” are different than they are for genre fiction.
Yeah, we were on a real nostalgia kick during the height of the “stay home order” time over the last year but even I couldn’t make it through more than 2-3 episodes of Buck Rogers - wow, it’s really, really bad. |
