most of movies are now the same old movies being done over as well, they seem to gut out the story and place all kind of modern day commentary in it. It's not really entertainment, it's not even a semblance of the book or movie it came from... They're almost always touting the latest current event of the last 2 years and shoving it in your face, and down your throat...

so it's borish on all fronts and does nothing to entertain, excite your senses, or even give your logic and reasoning something to work with let alone complex enough to fire a single neuron.

It's basically a wasteland on television and the big screen. Very sad time for almost all media these days... I picked up the local paper, all the same crap the AP and whatever these wastes of space think will pass for news today, but worse in that the appearances of the articles are as if they're now written in crayon. Maybe that's their pointless way of making the garbage more palatable. Whatever happened to simply reporting what is or was... as opposed to whatever some creature thinks of what happened or worse yet, re-wording things in order to make whatever happened or was said mean the opposite of what happened or a person meant or said. Yeah it's 5000 feeds of a crap sandwich these days, all chained together... and it follow you around on your phone with little chance of actually selecting what it will force on you, even after changing the settings, notifications, blocking, thumbs down, etc... inevitably Apple or Samsung and their news app foists the garbage and entertainment suggestions on you.

I know what you mean. It was new and fresh back then.

It is the old joke, "1000 channels and nothing to watch."

I mostly find myself watching re-runs and such. Reliving epizodes of Married with Children and such. 

Either that or putting re-runs on as background noise while I code. It is just comforting. Though maybe I am just becoming an old curmudgeon. x3 Though at least back then for the most part everything was not trying to push some kind of agenda on me, it was just entertainment.

I got 13 channels of shit on the TV to choose from -- Pink Floyd
