Oh, apologies. I sometimes forget others don't have the amount of free time that I do.Originally Posted by Bogertophis
It's long- I started to watch it last night & only got as far as the timber rattlesnake () before I got too sleepy- I was hoping to dream about her but if I did, I don't recall. It was late & I'm up early these days to swim laps. So my review is "to be continued"-
What I saw I liked- I realize some is 'dated' but that's okay- it's still worth a watch. I much prefer the dignified tone of nature programs like this to the high-powered aggressive soundtracks often tacked onto hapless snake videos in recent years. It sends a very different message, whether people are aware of the subtle impact or not. And of course, Sir David Attenborough is a class act anyway, & at 95, he's still going!
And exactly. It's always the same over-the-top "THE DEADLIEST SNAKES IN THE WORLD!" with loud heavy metal music and hosted by some muscle man stereotype complete with tattoos and piercings. Not too long ago I saw some YT channel about deadly animal attacks (with a "deep and spooky voiced" narrator because of course), and one was inevitably on retics. Except several background shots were of a ball python. Little did I know I had ownership of a "supersized maneater" apparently.
