I will never understand societies fascination with certain things. Now, I understand that everyone has varied tastes whether it be in Music, Television, Movies, etc...but some things I will never understand how or why they can possibly enjoy them.
This new crop of kids (the current generation of teens) have no idea how easy they have it. They get practically everything handed to them, whether it be a car, the latest wave of technology, etc. The music and television shows geared towards them are horrid beyond belief, and I see no entertainment value from them whatsoever. They really must think that kids today are brain dead morons who find people acting like total failures at life must be entertainment. They inevitably are blinded by all of this nonsensical crap it's maddening.
Hell, shows today for older teens or people in the early to mid twenties....I see no value from them either. I hardly, if ever, watch current television shows, and if I do, they're more than likely shows that have been around for quite some time. Anything that is churned out these days, I often wonder if the creators and television big wigs even know who they're targeting.
Then, there are those shows and movies that you can automatically understand who they're geared towards. The kinds of people that thrive on T&A, Explosions, terrible acting, Michael Bay, Nicolas Cage, Dick and Fart jokes. Those are the kinds of people I cannot stand.
Now, I am always open to whatever is out there, but the moment I see something, hear something, or even bare a small glimpse at what is offered to today's audience...all I can do is shake my head. I shake my head not just at how stupid American entertainment has become....but how I miss actually being entertained by the films and television shows I once grew up on. NOW THAT WAS ENTERTAINMENT. Not any of this crap you see on television now.
I don't watch the news. It's pointless. I don't watch any Celebrity news shows like 'Entertainment Tonight, TMZ or The Insider.' I don't care.
I could give a shit about sports. The countless amount of posts I see involving the Bruins, Red Sox, or Celtics that clutter my Facebook feed...I don't care.
I am still a die hard fan of going out and catching a flick, or finding some hidden gem that I have yet to see. It's just that as of late it's really been a rarity for me to find something that grabs my attention.
Good movies are in the eye of the beholder. Most critics give praise to certain movies for being "bold and brave," but really they have to say its good, either because they're paid off or because they don't want hate mail from the gay, black, or jewish community. I despise any movie that's about some "forbidden love, we must cheat on our current lovers to be with each other in THROES OF PASSION AND WILD LUST and then go back to our spouses and live out the boring existence because we're chucklefucks with no spines."

You're entitled to what interests you, what you like, listen to, read, etc. But, as the point of this blog site is....IT'S MY OPINION.
