Delta Quadra Movies and TV Shows

[iAnnAu]

I have a tendency to see the flaws in TV shows, so that if even if I start out enjoying them, my enthusiasm not only fades, it turns into more or less contempt.

Also, I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE (etc) commercials, so I only watch shows on DVD or downloaded via torrent.

Firefly was awesome. It's kinda bittersweet that it only lasted one season, because they set the bar so high for themselves that I could see myself falling into the pattern I mention above. But to contrast, Joss Whedon's writing for Buffy I found just sophomoric - I laughed, but I wasn't captivated like I was by the characters, dialogue, settings, etc. of Firefly.

Heroes has turned on me. How did Mr. Petrelli get back in time to steal the catalyst from Hiro before he actually stole Hiro's time-traveling ability? And how did Ando, Hiro & the girl get forward in time once they'd traveled back? I'm totally willing to suspend certain amounts of belief for the sake of things (such as using faster than light speeds to travel back in time), but they've violated the continuity of their own paradigm a few too many times.

Lost ... well, I'm looking forward to the new season, but that series has done a few things that rather than make me anxiously await answers to the mystery has instead made me feel like the twists and turns are becoming overhyped, and the actual meat of the story is ailing.

Dr. Who is just plain silly, and as long as I look at it as a comedy with spacey eye candy and not as Science Fiction, I enjoy it.

I used to really enjoy Futurama, Family Guy, South Park, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Clean Sweep, and Neat ... but I never exert enough discipline to keep up with them, so it's been a long time since I watched any of those.

I caught a couple of episodes of House, and thought it was entertaining, but only mildly.

I caught two partial episodes of scrubs, and thought it was deplorable. Any of the jokes made were so contrived and poorly acted that I felt like I was being insulted.

Colbert Report

@iannau: Dr. Who is awesome!

I am so tentative about stuff like this, but in the case of Dr. Who, that series screams ALPHA!!! to me.

[Creepy-Cyclops]

Hehe.. It, or he, is kinda alpha. Folks type various doctors but overall he is I think still ENTp, who can resist all that Ne stuff..and not forgetting the travelling!

Have you seen an old school doctor who, Tom Baker? He had a female time lord as a companion for a while, pretty foxy, ended up marrying her IRL (him, not me, huh)

[Park]

I also don't care much for "Frasier", which is supposedly Delta.

Frazier was too highbrow for me.

I like Fraiser, too. His opening song about "tossed salad and scrambled eggs" I don't particularly care for. But the show is good most of the time.

lol, 3 different spellings in a row!

[Park]

Seinfeld is a good call, too. The people I know who like it a lot do happen to be delta.

Seinfeld is Alpha, mainly and /, but it lacks in .

An Alpha comedy show I actually like is Two And a Half Men, which has a lot of , and even some .

[UDP]

an SLI I know LOVES two and a half m en, and Charlie Sheen being like the ultimate SLI bachelor fantasy

[Park]

lol, yeah, he's great. His character seems kinda Ti-ENTp-ish. And those are some AWESOME shirts he's wearing.

[Creepy-Cyclops]

an SLI I know LOVES two and a half m en, and Charlie Sheen being like the ultimate SLI bachelor fantasy

Yeah, this is quite true. His Si is quite apparent.

[Creepy-]

Eh, I don't watch a lot of tv... usually if it's on when I'm by myself, I have a DVD in. When I do watch TV, it's usually set to The History Channel.

There are a few shows I like a lot... Scrubs and The Office come to mind. [Btw, is Jim IEE?]

[Park]

I used to watch Becker when there was nothing better on. It wasn't anything speical but I liked the humor and the cast..

[duality is cringe]

God no. ILE. Probably supervises Dwight.

[implied]

God no. ILE. Probably supervises Dwight.

agree, agree.

[ArchonAlarion]

agree, agree.

Isn't Dwight an ENTj?

He doesn't seem ISTj at all.

Obsessed with facts, business, profit, etc. and he likes Angela who's an ESI

Definitely LIE

[munenori2]

Extras!

[UDP]

CNN, meet the press.

[Tom]

My favorite shows are (and there aren't many of them; I don't watch TV really, except online/on Archon's netflix/etc.)

The Office
South Park
House
Scrubs
Rome
Probably the "Song of Ice and Fire" series when it airs, if it ever airs.

That's about it for me and TV... That and the occasional Dane Cook special.

[munenori2]

Rome was pretty sweet, huh?

Also, I didn't see it, but didn't they air that ice and fire thing? I thought my bro mentioned seeing it (or part of it since I think it's a miniseries?).

[UDP]

sports

[meatburger]

Probably the "Song of Ice and Fire" series when it airs, if it ever airs.

I bought the first book in this series the other day. An INTj i know really loves it.

Im watching a series called True Blood at the moment about a world were vampires are almost accepted, and they serve blood in bars etc. Its got Anna Paquin(rogue from xmen) in it. I quite like it but im a bit of a vampire fan

[ProcrastinateTomorrow]

3 1/2 Men
Family Guy
Futurama
How I met your Mother
Lie To Me
NCIS
Neighbours
Scrubs
Seinfeld

Hey Deltas, What are some good example of movies that express a good Delta theme, I don't think its necessary movies you enjoyed, but something that you feel is very Fi,Ne,Si,Ti put together.

[Creepy-male]

Mumford. Very Ne and Fi.

[07490]

Thank you, I will be checking it out.

[duality is cringe]

THE OUTLAW JOSEY WALES, GRAN TORINO, OPEN RANGE, 3:10 TO YUMA, & UNFORGIVEN.

[jimbo]

I think "Borat" and "Ali G" are pretty Ne Fi

Umm, this aussi movie called "crackers" I think is pretty Delta.

agree with "Gran Torino"

I think "Two hands"

"The world according to garp"??

It's hard to place movies in a single quadra I think.

[jimbo]

Oh, another one. Maybe "Juno"

[jessica129]

BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN


Oh my god my favorite movie of all time. No seriously. Seriously. VERY delta.

[Lobo]

Delta: Home of Closet Homosexuals

Btw, for those wondering, this is not a real movie, I'm just commenting.

[jewels]

I also loved brokeback mountain.

I could see "Slumdog Millionaire" being very delta. I think the lead guy is probably an ENFp in real life most likely. I think the female lead could be ISTp.

I think "The Pursuit Of Happyness" has a very Delta feel, except I think the real life guy it was based on was probably ESTp.

What about..."The Neverending Story"?

[Park]

[munenori2]

I've heard an interesting take on how the main char from slumdog millionaire could be INTj, not so sure about the actor.

Neverending Story, probably delta I think.

Juno I think is more like an ILE and maybe an SEI for Cera's character.

Gran Torino, yes. Unforgiven and 3:10 not positive but my parents def loved them and they are either both delta or 50/50 alpha/delta.

Sascha Baron Cohen is an ENxp, possibly ENTp > ENFp, I think. Though I don't think either character is all that delta probably.

[Tom]

Neverending story is BETA.... Damn!

Juno, I think, is delta, but praps Alpha, who knows. Def Ne/Si.

[Lobo]

hmm, what's a Delta theme?

[duality is cringe]

[jessica129]

Juno was annoying as hell

[jewels]

how is Neverending story Beta? There is lots of Fi between the boy and his friends in the movie. And that big dog thing with the nice fuzzy Si fur and their Fi relationship. There is a "quest" sort of feeling, but that can also be Delta.

I liked Juno, but yeah, Alpha. My Alpha parents loved it. The main character girl got on my nerves at bit, as she was probably ENTp. The guy was clearly ISFp, yup.

Borat had some funny moment, but I could see him as ENTp.

What about "Muppets Take Manhattan"? Kermit is definitely Delta.

[eunice]

MARGOT AT THE WEDDING.

Lol.....even the actors who are portraying the leading characters are Delta.

Btw, DeAnte, when have you decided that you are an Si-ESTj?

[duality is cringe]

Lol.....even the actors who are portraying the leading characters are Delta.

The director is Delta and directed both of those movies I linked.

Btw, DeAnte, when have you decided that you are an Si-ESTj?

Well, I'm sure as fuck not going to sit on the sidelines and let Tom hog up all of the Si-ESTj glory for himself, so to answer your question, yes. I believe Si-ESTj is most likely my true sociotype. I am also clearly an E8. SLIs cannot be 8s. machintruc has confirmed this for me.

Slacker Mom and jewels hate my guts. Would you like me as a dual?
