My cousin Vinny!I love courtroom and prison movies.
I've never watched a movie about what I did specifically, but I can apply the movie Office Space to every non-restaurant job I've ever had.Do people enjoy watching TV shows and movies that are based around what they do for work?
For example, do doctors enjoy watching shows and movies that are based around the medical profession. Or do LEOs like watching cop shows and movies.
I know that, whenever I watch a courtroom drama, I find myself screaming at the screen, "What?! No, you can't cross-examine your own witness!". It takes my right out of whatever it is that I'm watching because they rarely get it right.
Not sure how accurate it was because I watched it ages ago and it wasn’t any kind of documentary or anything , but I enjoyed the mini series North and South with Patrick Swayze.Agreed. Not gonna say any more about it though. I live here, my thoughts wont be popular. And no I don't think we should have slaves.
Gone With the Wind is a good flick. Its kinda slow at times, but still a good story. Roots is good too, but isn't as much about the war although the war does come into play historically.
I can forgive a lot of some stuff in most movies because I know it’s entertainment. Where I get in trouble and start screaming at the screen is when you know its attempting to put some realism in and they get it wrong . You can almost tell every single time if something is your profession what their intent is . If I KNOW they are intending realism but F it all up it’s infuriating. Not so much when they intend for pure entertainment. Movies for the most part intend entertainment in my profession and I can let stuff slide. It’s the tv series for my profession ( LEO) that many times intend realism but F it all up. There’s a fine line to walk to make something entertaining AND keep a lot of realism in it . Most times I just shake my head a bit in disbelief but sometimes I’m hooked into voicing my frustrations in disbelief lol . All depends on the movie and or series and what I think their intent was . It’s difficult thing to pull off .Do people enjoy watching TV shows and movies that are based around what they do for work?

Being in the medical profession.......I can say absolutely NO!!Do people enjoy watching TV shows and movies that are based around what they do for work?

I had absolutely NO idea that the ACW is such a delicate subject in the U.S.A.Brutal war indeed. They say it's the first "modern" war, unlike the "gentlemans" war the British were so known for.
The movie Gettysburg is good, you probably wont find a biopic pic about Robert E. Lee. The Confederacy is a very sore subject here in the USA, as are its historical figures. Statues have been torn down, the Confederate flag is no longer considered a part of our history and is now just a symbol of racism, our modern view of our own history is so skewed its sad. I wont get into it here, but there is a whole faction of people who would love it if the whole entire war just went away.
I agree Robert E. Lee is very important to both US and military history. Just not here in the US unless you still have southern values. But then you are considered a racist.
No offense taken here, Ben.I had absolutely NO idea that the ACW is such a delicate subject in the U.S.A.
I will now drop this topic, my apologies if I have offended anyone.
Even Nurse Jackie?Being in the medical profession.......I can say absolutely NO!!
Medical dramas absolutely saturate TV land.
They are all absolute garbage in terms of realism.
I simply can't watch anything medical on TV
I find it both admirable and disappointing that no one else followed up with other satire titles.Shaving Ryan's Privates. It's a classic
Oh for sure. I love watching other electricians do their thing on the home improvement shows.Do people enjoy watching TV shows and movies that are based around what they do for work?

Well if we’re talking reality tv here then yeah yeah , ....and reality police shows have me saying WTF did he / she / they just doOh for sure. I love watching other electricians do their thing on the home improvement shows.
And if they do something that I know CLEARLY do better, well I make darn sure the whole room knows about it lol.
Goes the other way too. If there's a better way to do something, I want to know about it.
ESPECIALLY Nurse Jackie (but I haven't actually seen it).Even Nurse Jackie?
It's a pretty big note. Like you don't make a WW2 movie and not have anything in it about Nazism.The problem with most civil war movies is that they’re written from a Yankee’s perspective, and they play only one note: Slavery.
And here I was thinking that was how you got the shock going.Rubbing the paddles together before shocking a patient is complete rubbish
I was going to say, it may be a modern classic, but it's no On Golden Blonde.I find it both admirable and disappointing that no one else followed up with other satire titles.![]()
Darn right!And if they do something that I know I CLEARLY do better, well I make darn sure the whole room knows about it lol.
Those paddles you see have not been in use for YEARS.And here I was thinking that was how you got the shock going.
I have no doubt. I see why movies and shows getting it wrong is not enjoyable.Resuscitation situations are very high stress scenarios.
