With all the chat about ‘Cancel Culture’ and ‘Woke’ and the like…
I’m gonna share some ‘rad’ thoughts on numerous Gen Z and other Genners..
By tossing out some trends pre-dating their birth trauma, into the challenges this world brings upon us all.
Here’s a flick from 1990 that portrayed ‘indigenous people from an un-traditional Hollywood perspective, of that time.
Dances with Wolves
However, many moons before, Marlon Brando ‘dissed’ Hollywood…by refusing to accept ‘Best Actor’ award for his portrayal of Don Corleone in ‘The Godfather’, as this video reveals:
One of the ironies of Entertainment history, is a famous comedian…used that ‘no respect’ line…and made a fortune…poking fun, at himself, (self depreciating) all the time, in his act.
Now, if you and I had even $10 for every time we got ‘no respect’ in during the course of our daily lives…
We just might be giving Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, etc.
A run for their money as the…for the title of
Richest dude (or dudess) in this choking in contamination…world.
NOW…here comes my little ‘self promo’
I believe there’s a tsunami size new wave movement taking place that may wash HOLLYWOOD’s addiction to
HIGH BUDGET SPECIAL EFFECTS
Down the drain…spiral…as Twilight Zone intro illustrated quite well
Time to face the music, Hollywood Hill Billies!!
Most your ‘flix’ have fleas!
& the originality of ‘sliced bleached bread’ wrapped in plastic bags….2 boot!
Take for example, Exhibit A…a 1953 flick,
War of the Worlds
Have YOU seen this scene…pretty much repeated…with HIGH TECH SPECIAL EFFECTS, added…thanks be to microprocessors
43 years later….’the protective bubble’ over alien bad guys spacecraft
Independence Day
Does it again…thwarting the earthlings counterattack plans against atrocious advancing aliens!! (a.a.a.a. acronym 😉
Orson Wells, who took his original RADIO broadcast (based on the Sci-fi novel by H.G. Wells in 1898) …which caused quite a commotion…
As this young lad explains, aptly:
My point being…
HOW MANY MORE TIMES…ARE YA GONNA GO TO THE SAME WELL…especially in times of severe drought??
HOW MANY MORE TIMES…ARE YA GONNA MILK THE SAME ‘CASH COW’??
MARKETING 101 Business Ad concept taught at Wharton…or ya local community college.
Trouble is…ya can ONLY milk the udders of that Poor ole ‘Bessie the Cow’…before yields decline.
Kinda…sorta…like another barnyard animal
Somehow that ‘rings a bell’ from Psalms…concerning ‘from lips of children comes praise’
Another message (from bygone times) comes to my mind’s eye:
Sure am ‘dating’ myself…in ‘pushing’ ’2023 times
That’s all folks,
