I was thinking the other day how people don`t shout "freak" and "weirdo" at me as much as they used to, then I realized that it`s because they just don`t look up from their cell phones for long enough to react. My best friend also doesn`t do gadgets except for Twitter. He is always telling me about how he had a back and forth with say an actress that was in Dynasty or an 80`s pop star, so I guess to be able to have that kind of contact it`s pretty amazing.
My celluloid cut off point is about the mid 90`s, everything since seems to mostly be pointless remakes or awful hundred mile an hour CGI disposable toss. I got suckered in by the nostalgia hype of the most recent Star Wars movie so went to the cinema for the first time in years to see it. I took my ex and he fell asleep, and to be honest I don`t think he missed anything. There is something really lacking in the substance of modern films that just doesn`t do it for me.
Naomi should have been taking notes not bitching about it when Betty was giving her new wave knowledge. I think you`re right about the kids now not respecting that or even wanting to know. I wonder if in generations from now the people will look back on the dawn of the 21st century in the same way Drag Race fans look on Season 7 - that is assuming that future generations don`t just get worse :/
