"Guinness" is on Tuesday nights on Fox. It is a disgusting show that I regret watching. The producers seem to show the sickest records. There is nothing wrong with the book, and it's an honor to be in it, for the most part. The program, however, doesn't show the record for the person who lifted the most weight. Instead, they show the person who lifted 30 pounds with his ears and tongue, which was truly disgusting. Television can do without a show like this.
"Saturday Night Live" is not the same show that it once was. Now the weekly comedy show struggles to come up with a single funny scene. Despite the good acting and the interesting hosts, the humor is simply not there. As the ratings continue to drop, the show must find a solution to its growing problem of lack of funny material. Until then, it will probably get worse. "Saturday Night Live" can be seen on NBC on Saturday nights from 11:30 p.m—1.00 a.m.
"The Wayans Bros.", an exciting comedy starring Shawn and Marion Wayans, airs every Wednesday at 9:00 p.m. In the show, Shawn and Marion play brothers who live together and own a news stand. Shawn, the smooth-talking one of the two, and Marion, the younger brother who is forever acting like a five-year-old, seem to have a conflict every week, but always resolve it with a brotherly hug.
"Gilmore Girls", now in its seventh (and final) season, is an amazing television show that follows the lives of the mother/daughter team of Lorelai and Rory Gilmore. Lorelai got pregnant with Rory at the age of 16 and decided to move out of Hartford, Connecticut, to seek refuge in a small town nearby. She and Rory have a close relationship and share everything.

【推荐1】Horror movies are designed to cause seemingly bad emotions — shock, fear and disgust (厌恶). Yet many people want to sit through those films. Why? Clasen, who directs the Recreational Fear Lab at Aarhus University in Denmark, made a survey of more than 250 American horror fans with his team, and the responses of those participants revealed three types of fans.
The first type felt great and were in high spirits. The second type reported some negative reactions to scary movies, and some even had nightmares at first, but they explained that they were feeling like they learned something about themselves at last. The third type of fans seemed to use horror to deal with bad feelings and events in real life. They supported statements such as “Watching horror movies makes me realize that everything in my own life is OK.”
According to previous studies, thrill seekers, who often seek out new and intense experiences, tend to be horror fans. Men also seemed to be slightly bigger horror fans than women. Clasen’s teammates didn’t think so. “They are stereotypes (老套),” they said. Men are less likely to admit in surveys that they are afraid of horror. Likewise, researchers think it’s unfair to paint all horror fans as thrill seekers. What may influence how much people like horror is something called the need for affections (情感). “People differ on that — how much emotion they want in their lives,” Clasen explained.
After watching a horror movie, you could be left unsettled and anxious, or you have nightmares, but it may actually help you become more prepared in real life. Horror fans reported lower levels of distress (忧虑) during the pandemic, for instance. “That’s because horror movies let people practise negative emotions in a safe setting,” Clasen said. “That way, when it comes to scary situations in real life, you know how to react quickly and correctly.”
Good or not, scary movies aren’t for everyone. And that’s OK. “Monster movies are good,” sociologist Margee Ker r said, “because you know that they’re not real.” “If you are not ready to watch a horror movie, there are other ways to test yourself. One is writing your own horror-movie story. If you are writing a story about something that you are afraid of, you are taking control of it,” she explained. “That can be really helpful.”

【推荐3】The London Eye 4D Film Experience started in August and is included in the London Eye ticket price. It is a fantastic 4D film to entertain you before your trip on the London Eye. The 4D effects are great.
No Extra Cost to You
That’s right; you buy your ticket for the London Eye and 4D cinema experience. Merlin Entertainments, the London Eye owners, spent 5 million creating the film and building the 4D cinema and wanted to improve the value for money of the London Eye.
What to Expect
The 4D Cinema entrance is in the ticket hall. So after buying your ticket, go straight to it, where you’ll be given a pair of glasses. About 160 visitors will pass through the 4D cinema every 8 minutes so don’t worry about waiting time. People in the bright pink cinema are all standing on four levels. The top level is designed for wheelchairs.
London Eye 4D Film
Put on your glasses and enjoy yourself. The story is about a little girl visiting London with her father and she wants to be higher to get a better view so she comes to the London Eye. It differs from watching the 3D film for all your senses are involved. When it snows on screen, you feel it snows in the cinema. And when you watch the fireworks, you can really smell them.
For a short film, less than four minutes, before the main attraction you think you’ve come for, you are going to love this free extra. I stood there with my mouth wide open at the end as many others did. It’s fantastic! The effects are the Hollywood standard as no expense is spared. I was lucky enough to try the film three times on the first day and I still want to go back again.
