The days in which I went for Tuesday cheap nights, subscribed to PREMIERE magazine, rented regularly with Dad’s Beta machine, my those days seem to be very distant now, lol.
I can’t remember the last time I went to a movie theater...
I do remember the golden era of Hollywood when westerns extolled the virtues of tough individualism, when the bad guy got his comeuppance, and war movies that promoted courage and patriotism, and crime movies where the cops were good and bad guy got caught and paid for his sins, and romantic movies where boys and girls fell in love with each other, got married and started a family...
But that was too boring and predictable for the sixty generation. They traded it for drugs, free sex and rebellious rock and roll. They opted for hip hop morals and burned the old gods of the copybook headings.
But the gods of the copybook headings are starting to get their revenge.
