Certainly not interested in anything modern. The music. The movies. The TV shows. The have completely ruined everything.

I can’t lie, I do go to the movies, but not nearly as much as I used too. Movies are no longer entertainment, but a lecture, I want to be entertained, not lectured at.

“Certainly not interested in anything modern.”

It seems the primary focus is making sure they have a diverse cast, whether it fits the movie or not. Young reviewers are also pointing out that a film is better because it is diverse. The only recent movie I wanted to see was Godzilla Minus One because it was made in Japan, and I knew they wouldn’t be focusing on a diverse case.

Good movies ended in 1969 when, the year before, Bobby Kennedy was murdered and the news media screamed that movies and TV were “Glorifying Violence!” and called for government intervention.
So adult TV shows, still safe for children, dumbed down to kiddie shows, but the movie industry said they would “Police Themselves” by dumping the Hays Code and create a joke of a ratings system. GMRX was the first.
Instead of reigning in violence in the movies it opened the flood gates of the most vile, reprehensible films ever made as they began to churn out the worst filth ever put on film. Even the Pre-Code moves were mild compared to what started in 1969.
