Your post was “All the good movies, TV Shows and Music have already been made.” While originality is a factor in quality, the two are not synonymous. The Maltese Falcon was a classic film, but it was not original. It was the third time the story had been filmed.

As another poster already pointed put, there are only a few basic stories. Perhaps a few as three- man vs man, man vs the environment, and man vs himself. With that in mind Shakespeare was recycling Homer and Hemingway was recycling Shakespeare.

It is simply silly and shortsighted to suggest that no “good” artistic efforts are POSSIBLE, which was your original contention. Now if you want to say that nothing original is to come, that's irrelevant, since that would disqualify Michelangelo as being a plagiarist of Ancient Greek artists.
