Re: You know, its kind of fun......

I agree with much that you write - in fact all but from a different angle of perspective. While I dont like the fuzzies (actually I detest them), I am not sure that you should conclude that it is today's audience that he is catering to. I think the percentage of people who like the fuzzy crap is probably unchanged (or at least let us presume that it is for a moment) The problem is with him and his perception of what he thinks the younger generation wants. After all, he is more far removed in age from today's gen x than he was removed in age difference from his previous audiences , right? In other words, he is closer in age to you even when you were younger than he is to today's young people. Really, so often people think they understand the kids. I dont have any and I dont understand them fully. My attorney who grew up in the 60s kept telling me how her nieces and nephews had no causes etc. etc. all complaints about GEn X. She could say that to me (33 now), because I grew up elsewhere I guess. However, i kept showing her actual facts about saving rates, etc. etc. that refuted most of what she said. Of course only in America do we need to categorise everyone.

Another point...
things I liked at a younger age are sometimes as appealing today but ONLY because i somehow "recall" the pleasure I got from my first viewing of it. Having grown up in a country with very little good entertainment, i took delight in some absolute crap. But I wont even be able to watch it today. On the other hand, some other things which I sort of liked, I may like as much today though I WOULD NOT HAVE LIKED IT as much if i saw it today for the FIRST TIME. When you describe how you liked SW original episodes, I suspect that at least some of the liking may be because of how you saw the movie at the age you were then. If you saw it for the first time today.... I cannot say for sure that you would not have liked it so so much but I am not sure . You would certainly have liked it.

Frankly, this is just a pet idea of mine about how people enjoy things. Am interested in your feedback. I have found movies to be the best way to bring this sense of perception out.

Cheers. No offense intended.
