I’m a movie guy. It’s my life’s work, my dad’s life work. I grew up in the movie biz; I’ll die in the movie biz. But right across the street here in Hollywood, TV sits. In my Dad’s day, they were the invaders. Now, they’re just annoying. Reality TV – whoever heard such nonsense?
A young friend turned me on to this video on YouTube and it made me laugh.
Then he tells me ReelTime has some reality TV shows. He sez: “They’re not that bad. The best one is this thing called ‘Love For Sale.’ You’ll dig it.” I don’t believe him.
I get ReelTime going and watch the first episode and against my better instincts, I’m hooked. Thank God for ReelTime. I can’t imagine I would have found the time to watch this thing if it was just on TV and I had to make time to watch it. But having it accessible whenever made it work for me, so thanks guys.
‘Love For Sale’ is not like these shows in that YouTube clip. I would describe it as a Western, basically. It’s about the codes of a society on the fringes. But instead of being about men on the frontier, this is about women, in modern times, on the frontier, not literally, but figuratively. And actually, sometimes literally, too.
Even if you’re a movie guy, you’d do alright to watch a few of these. You might be surprised. Ciao.
