Mind you - the originals were no screaming hell either. Maybe these things are different through the eyes of a kid? When I was a kid I saw Escape From New York with Kurt russel in it (I think it was him, anyways). It was set in Dystopian New York - which it actually is these days, HAR HAR HAR!
😆👍
As a kid I thought it was great… but as an old goat… gawd. It was pretty bad. That is the hell of getting old though. I try and read a novel from a current author and two chapters in, I realize that I read this one 50 times already, just with different characters names and maybe a slight twist of plot or theme. Sometimes they don’t even do that - they just remake the characters from the originals as queers, women, or vibrants and call it good.
I wonder if George Thoroughgood still sings? At the rate things are going, I fear I may well end up a grumpy old man, yearning for the past when we were better people living in better times.
Don't give up Filthie. You and I are about 6 months apart in age and I love the feeling of having been there, done that. I have finally gained a little wisdom and life is good no matter what it throws my way.
ReplyDeleteWe have both seen the destruction of the things we hold most dear and yet here we are. Embrace the suck and soldier on! You are a good man Glen,accept what is, deal with the things under your control and just let the rest go.
Read somewhere there are only 5 plots for all the movies we watch. So I'm assuming the same go for books. The reason I don't feel the need to watch movies or read fiction anymore? Don't know, but I do know most of it boors me to tear.
ReplyDeleteWrong boor - bores
DeleteYes, George Thoroughood still tours, at least in the states. County fairs, small town music festivals, etc. Saw him summer 2019 in Oshkosh Wisconsin. Fun show.
ReplyDeleteIt's called The Heroes Journey. https://www.goalcast.com/heros-journey/
ReplyDelete"I wonder if George Thoroughgood still sings?", yeah, but... Duets with Boy George
Your points are not without merit-but I wouldn't turn my nose up at a Cadillac with chandeliers on the fenders.
ReplyDeleteYou want new plots in your stories? Stories about heroes doing heroic things? Stories where the good guys win in the end?
