tv shows and movies

is it just me or are tv shows and movies getting stupider and worse now i mean look at all the crap now on tv all the shows are boring and most movies suck now!

I miss the old National Lampoon movies, and Naked Gun

those comedies are the best! you can watch them 50 times and always see something new, they have SO much stuff goin on in the background!

Can't find that anymore

Compared to the crap they made 10 yrs ago, it's about the same.

Compared to the crap they made 20 yrs ago, its slightly worse.

Compared to the crap they made 30 yrs ago...

(you didn't answer my question, dude.)

Mike.

cheez do you remember the first pink panther it sucked but the sequel was so much better and the remake is better this time around!

ok man and look at the movies now how come there are no more good action movies now look at the 80's every month brand new action movie but now its all poorly written crap

well dude am i right look at rambo rocky and terminatr 3 of the greatest movie sereis of all time where are the new sereis for us huh wheres our rocky rambo and terminator ill tell you were at the back of some greedy execs mind not thinking about quality of the movies but about how much cash he can make with them!

dont know...

i dont watch tv

but i do go to the pictures last lot of movies i thought where good were

Jarhead
King Kong
Spiderman 2(spiderman1 sucked)
Harry Potter(any of them)
just like heaven(i think, thats the one with the "semi" dead girl who falls in love, funny as!)

and erm that was it think the rest were complete crap, like redeye(wtf)(im traped on a plane boohoo)
or
SAW or SAW2(same sort of stuff ppl die gouge out eyes, doesnt interest me)

I'm pretty sure it was always like that: the 80's and 90's had any number of horrible, horrible shows!

It's just that we tend to remember the god over the crap that no one watched anyway.

yes i agree snorkius movies were good in the 80's but tv sucked and prozac scarface was the best movie ever made i dont care what any critic says they can say its too violent its offensive blah blah blah they can go and f them selves

lol phuky be back soon

Movies have always been hit or miss-- mostly miss, especially with so many remakes. . .

TV, I'm not so sure there are not good sitcoms (I only watch "The Office" ). Dramas? There's some good ones:

Stargate series (Atlantis and SG-1)
Battlestar Galactica (although not as good recently)
24
House
Prison Break
Lost
Desperate Housewives
Greys Anatomy
Doctor Who (the new one)
Numb3rs

As far as "reality" shows go:
American Idol (#1)
The Apprentice
Mythbusters (duh!)
Dirty Jobs
MXC

And, if nothing else is on:
Discovery Wings Channel
Food Network

speilberg pisses me off i hate him after what he did

It's just a sign of you guys getting older. The music isn't as it used to be, the movies aren't, the tv shows aren't. And even objectively, indeed music has changed as have tv shows and films. They're different to what you have been growing up with, and they will continue to change. As flexible as some minds are, it is a statistical human characteristic that your mind will become less and less flexible over time. Some people will always be open to the sign of the times, but the majority will one day start to complain that things used to be better, regardless of what these things are.

This is not to say that everything is changing for the better either, by any standard that can be measured objectively.

The Shawshank Redemption, is a good movie. Withnail and I still gets my vote. 24, isn't that the show that does a whole day in real time by showing 24 45 min episodes? That challenged me, still stuck on that one.

The Mary Whitehouse Experience? Radio or TV? I remember as a teen The Young Ones, that was really good back then. Watched an episode of it recently on BBC 3 or 4, still made me laugh.

Did you see ant of that Red Dwarf wanna be, Hyperdrive? You just can't emulate class like Red Dwarf, admittedly it had the odd moment though.

I am kinda hoping that we are on an upswing... Look at the old comedy movies that rocked... Chevy Chase, Belushi, Akroid, etc.... A group of guys that come together and make a bunch of movies, many are good, a few are crap...

That seems to be happening again with Will Ferrel, Vince Vaughn, Owen & Luke Wilson, Steve Carrell, etc... They are putting out a bunch of movies that are at least decent... Maybe not all great, but usually not crap.


As far as TV goes, I think there are a TON of great shows on again... To paraphrase what has already been said, I look forward to likely one or two shows each night... (I don't get to watch them too often, and I don't feel like researching too much, only 10 minutes left on lunch)

Monday - 24
Tuesday - Mythbusters / Dirty Jobs
Wednesday - I don't remember
Thursday - The Office / My Name is Earl
Friday - I don't remember
Saturday & Sunday - Can always hope for a Mythbusters / Dirty Jobs Marathon, plus you have the block Sunday night of Simpson's, War At Home(?), Family Guy, and American Dad.

thats why people are allowed to have different opinions. i couldnt really tell you what i think is the GREATEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME!!!! cuz i have seen some many really really good movies. now granted i would put scarface in the top five.[shrug]

lmfao

what channel?

thanks for reiterating that, slapnutz.

i got it from a wrestler, i think, lmao./

Television programming here in the United States in my opinion is off the moral scale. It's no wonder kids are so screwed up these days with the things that are exposed to on television. It was hard enough growing up in the fifties and sixties when television for the most part was wholesome. I can't imagine what it's like for young people today. Our youth is exposed to television shows that flaunt gay lifestyles as normal . Now what the heck do you think that's doing to these youngsters minds?

ok guys havent been on in a few days so whats up
