It’s the same with video games. Too much shovelware and pointless micro-transactions that amounts to nothing.

@JosephBoxmeyer-u3d Your story reminds me of an 80 year old couple that lived not far from me who were talking about how bad television is, and how shows like The Carol Burnett Show were so great despite their limitations. I never heard about Carol Burnett, but one day when I was there to help with their housework they convinced me to watch an episode of her classic show from the 1960’s on DVD. It was laugh inducing. Mainstream entertainment has become so bad largely because there are no limitations anymore. So in regard to music, everyone just skips past a Taylor Swift song because it lacks feeling. Then they stumble upon an old Led Zeppelin song and skip that too because it doesn’t interest them. This disposable entertainment culture has created a feeling of defeat, disrespect, uncaring aura that is hard to ignore.

@pcno2832 The Hays Code was lifted in 1968. What came immediately after were rated X movies, movies that glorified violence, movies that dug into same gender relationships, etc etc. Sam Peckinpah’s 1969 film The Wild Bunch, while rather tame by today’s standards, was highly controversial in that it was a revisionist western with a focus on violence. Characters also were shown without clothes, something the Hays Code was vehemently against. Almost no rated X movie from the late 60’s and 70’s is remembered today. The 1970’s was a period of cult films, some of which are remembered, but many utterly forgotten and better left in the dust.

@Jasmine34952 Laurel & Hardy is the first thing that pops up when I think of art of the innuendo. Groucho Marx spent several decades on Adlibbing in comedy, and he was a master at it. Other performers like Peter Sellers provided their own styles and characters. Today our comedy is basically 30 somethings cursing about current day politicians, and getting cheap laughs in the process.

@mnbalfour1985 Orson was a Shakespearean actor and a genius. Anybody who hasn’t heard his radio performance on War of the Worlds from 1938 is truly missing out on a gem.

@kev3d Prince was awesome.

@smsheard He wasn’t so much a bad writer as much as he was notorious for putting projects on hold. He faced a lot of technical limitations in his life. He even left Hollywood to do work in Europe for a time, writing scripts and directing films for various European actors. Orson Welles had a better understanding on culture than people do today.

@ I don't make videos anymore and I simply don't have the time, equipment or resources to be a semi regular YouTuber, or anything close to that. I've posted two videos from the film Anger Management which I did long ago, so there's some entertainment there if you want to watch them. Mostly I just post comments.
