good to know, I guess.
For a while now, I have attributed lots of things (inability to watch late-seasons Due South, antipathy toward most sitcoms) to having a "farce squick".
After seeing Star Trek for the third time with
iulia and therefore seeing the Land of the Lost trailer for the third time and seriously nearly coming out of my seat, I have now articulated it slightly better, I think: I have an embarrassment squick that extends even/especially to characters who do not realize they ought to be embarrassed (Benton Fraser, and possibly everyone ever played by Will Ferrell) and also, relatedly or not, absurd humor mostly just makes me angry.
(BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE, IS WHY. IT'S NOT FUNNY, IT JUST ... DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.)
So, you know. There is a whole class of movies and TV shows that I really am never going to watch. And I guess it's good to know that.
What, no, I'm having an extremely productive day at work, why do you ask... ?
