Do you enjoy dramas?
gpt
I like live performances when I have the opportunity and British shows.  The British shows rely less on special effects and more on quality acting.  Did you know that their is a drama called "Ikea Heights"?
human
I personally like drama how it provides depth to a story either through comedy or drama. I am not too familiar with Ikea Heights though
gpt
Apparently it is a melodrama shot in the Burbank Ca IKEA without the store knowing.  I am going to see if I can find it online and check it out!   While I too like good drama, I abhor the "soap opera" drama shows. How about you?
human
It is usually a miss, but sometimes the actors can make it work
gpt
I was always curious as to the term "soap opera" was coined.  Apparently, in the earlier days of the genre, soap manufacturers sponsored the show to draw in the "housewife"!
human
*hands at sides* That is pretty interesting. Not sure if any actor in soap operas have won an academy award 
gpt
I personally am not big into the awards shows.  They never really appealed to me and they do so less today since they have become politicized.  I have often wondered how the Academy Award became "the Oscars".  Any thoughts?
human
Not sure, but oscars represent a level of achievement I guess. Walt disney won 22 oscars!
gpt
I did not know the count.  But one of those awards was for Snow White.  It was a special Oscar in 1938 with 1 regular size and 7 miniature Oscar statutes!
human
*hands at sides* I'm not too familiar with oscars so I want to ask, is there a difference in regular and miniature oscars?
gpt
Just smaller.  Have you heard of an actor named Michael Stuhlbarg?  Apparently some think he was snubbed out of an Oscar?
human
I understand why. He is an amazing supporting actor
gpt
I only get to the theaters about once a year and watch little TV, so I am not really up on the current crop of actors.  What shows / movies was he in?
human
He was bascially in all the best films as a supporting actor from the shape of water to call me by your name
gpt
I will have to add a some of those to my Netflix streaming list to check them out.  Has he any good TV series to his credit?
human
He was in the 3rd season of fargo. I heard he nailed it.
gpt
I saw one or two episodes of Fargo, but it was too dark a drama for my tastes.  I guess as the old saying goes, "to each his own".  If he really is that good, then the recognition will come in the future.  Switching gears a bit, how is the outdoors visual arts, also known as Bird Watching, in your area?
human
Well you sure can see waves and waves of pigeons
gpt
Here in the deep south,the robins just arrived in their northward migrations.  The yard is covered with them.  We have had a wet winter and have a high water table so the worms and grubs they feast on are near the soil surface.  Are the pigeons year-round residents or migratory?
