Tonight on KSPS-TV at 8 — “Diner”

I’m willing to bet that a hell of a lot of this has not aged at all well in 30 years. And I recall that there are some astonishingly depressing parts. I’m even willing to acknowledge that watching some young, self-absorbed guys talk, talk, talk might not be all that appealing if you yourself are no longer young and full of it.

But I suspect a few of the diner conversations still feel like four-star eavesdropping. If you have never seen this, I recommend recording it and then fast-forwarding through everything but the diner scenes.

Yes, I realize a cinephile would find that suggestion abhorrent. But hey, we’re all pressed for time.
