The first show I would recommend is Dirty Jobs. Yep, that's right boys. I like to get down and dirty. I love this show because it explores the most gruesome and dangerous jobs on the planet, and I'm all about getting gruesome and dangerous, especially when my husband can't. One thing that I don't like is how women hardly ever do any of these jobs. If I was on that show I would show those sissy boys how to get the job done.
The next show I would recommend is Desperate Housewives. These girls know how to get sassy and keep it classy at the same time (#keepmurderclassy). They get into all sorts of sticky situations full of drama and secrets so in a sense they are a lot like me and my hubby, Macbeth. However, sometimes they have psycho lady fits, and I am all about staying poised in all situations.
My next recommendation would have to be Transparent. This is a show about a 70-year-old father of three who decides he is a woman named Maura. Now he's got some balls (or lack thereof, I suppose). I love watching the struggles he faces, and I say more power to him! I must admit when you feel like you can do something better than the opposite sex but societal conventions hold you back I too have desired to be un-sexed. I think in a few years gender roles will subside, and by the twelfth century women and men alike will be able to act however they please without having to worry about societal norms.
My last recommendation is Nashville. This is about a fading country star, Rayna Jaymes, who comes into conflict with Juliette Barnes, an up-and-coming young country star whose record sales have been very high. I. LOVE. Juliette. Barnes. She is just full of the desire for power and fame (I hear you girlfriend!) and although she is young and unestablished, she's willing to do whatever it takes to become successful. She is feisty and does not apologize for her actions, using a vindictive attitude just like mine to make sure she stays on top of the country scene. Just look at how she handles business without even dropping a tear (it's even got subtitles for all you foreigners out there): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Op7hxnvwsc
Happy watching! From yours truly - Lady Macbeth
You took on the character of Lady Macbeth really well and I could hear your voice in every sentence. In typical Kyle fashion, you had me laughing the whole time. I appreciate the fact that you kept this post straight and to the point. I could learn a lesson or two from that! I also really like the fact that you didn't just recommend your titles, you reviewed them as Lady Macbeth, pointing out the things she appreciated about the selections and the things she didn't. Awesome job!
ReplyDeleteI thought it was interesting and original on how you wrote this post in the first person of Lady Macbeth. All the connections you made and your language choice made this post really sound close to what Lady Macbeth would've actually said, and it was great! Additionally, I loved how you threw Desperate Housewives into the mix. When I was little, my sister and my mom were always watching that show (and to be honest, I have to say I've seen a few episodes myself), and I could totally see Lady Macbeth being into that show! They're all about keeping secrets from each other, but staying classy like you said, and this is a great reflection of Lady Macbeth's character.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the examples you used for movie recommendations. These are movies I definitely would have never thought of using first looking at the titles. You pulled some great connections from each of the TV shows and made it seem like this is what Lady Macbeth would actually say in the modern era. Well done.
ReplyDeleteI thought your post was very clever and creative. The first person point of view added a unique touch to your recommendations, and the post seem more “real”. Your reviews were great selections because you connected her own dramatic emotions to the modern dramatic television shows. Great Job!
