Another Terrible Box Office Report For Woke Hollywood
Fishrrman:
The last time I paid to see a film at a theater was 30 years ago, c.1994.
I won't be going back.
But I have a couple of drives now just full of older films.
These days, IF there's something I want to see... well... if one knows where to look...
As someone said long ago, "Seek, and ye shall find".

There's just nothing for me - Either big screen or TV... Once you've YooToob'd for a while, everything - And I do mean everything - seems so scripted and phony, not to mention totally unbelievable. I've used the example of a 100lb beauty queen, in heels and with perfect hair, kicking the crap out of a 250lb man before, but that ain't even half of it. Throw in the now always present homo lust scene, and I don't even need to turn the channel, because there is no reason for me to be on any channel in the first place.
I am long, long gone, and I won't be back.

Because of just what you've outlined here, I clicked on the Netflix "DOCUMENTARY" category and have become addicted.
It's the only genre that haven't been corrupted by Barack and Big Mike's hands...usually 3 or 4 episodes...how they gather evidence and garner confessions.
Have to get 'SOMETHING' for my $18 @ month. :beer:

I am a big fan of film noir from the forties and fifties. No messages for the most part except evil gets defeated by good in most of them. There were even many anti-communist flicks made during that period.
Many of the films are less than great, but it is interesting to see many of the artifacts from those years depicted in the films.
One very interesting film from 1950 that I saw the other day, "The Sound Of Fury" starring Frank Lovejoy and Lloyd Bridges was about a lynching of two kidnappers who killed their victim based on a true story of a lynching that took place in California in the thirties.

It's just strange to me now. and uninteresting drivel - And this from a guy who is a big fan of crappy B grade movies with lousy FX... It leaves more for my imagination. But now, the plots are crap... Even to me.
But it comes at a price too... In selecting exactly what I want all the time, and sinking into my preferences, I find myself calcifying . It's getting damn hard for me to find new and exciting things to bend my mind around, returning over and again to the same things.
I actually like listening to Hank FM again these days, for that reason... I have no control over what the DJ is going to play (within the Country category)... Prior to now, I had done much the same thing with my music, hitting a threshold somewhere in the 00s, and being largely ignorant of any music newer than that.
Now I get a little bit of that and have expanded my musical palate to include a few new artists. I would like to find some way to do that in film too. But no such thing exists according to my tastes.
