Jan. 28, 2010 ‘If they had just made it GI JOE going across the desert in an army jeep and stuck to that- then it would have been good...’ – MB The overdone computer enhanced films are alluring at first, and - then just give a headache. They are too manic and there is no understatement or nuance. Two or three hours of battles and killing and all else and it’s like a world of virtual nightmares at your door. It would be revolutionary if someone made a movie without six hundred deaths, two dozen car chases, and ninety profanities in every fifteen minute time frame. You’d need a shaman to tell say exactly, - but there is something wrong with malls. People seem possessed of themselves, and not their higher selves. Many of the malls it seems have moved in high end stores and it’s impossible to feel normal there unless you have much money. They should at least pump some fresh air into those places. Malls are like a cult without an exact leader- everyone entranced with the whole concept but there is nothing underneath it. In fact each of those stores seems to be their leader. Manga is an art form that is interesting for a moment, but the whole idea becomes suspect when you learn how much of it there is. It’s like,’ who has time to read all this- and aren’t comics for children anyway? The same goes for Gaming- sure they are sophisticated, - but who cares really? There is something weird not in the fact that someone makes and sells Grand Theft Auto- but that a new version becomes sold out in hours and that adult men love these things. Television is for the most part a waste of time- there are some good things now and again- but it has to be the single lowest common denominator of all distractions- well maybe slightly above injecting heroin or cocaine. Texting is another weird one- people text all the time. What is so important it can’t wait? I think people will soon start texting in their vehicles if they aren’t already. That leaves religion. I read a quote recently that said- Beware a man of one book. No kidding. Every religion is addicted to a book- and every religion portrays a completely false sense of modestly while really believing that they are the only true religion. After a while it all becomes suspect. One actually does begin to wonder if religious people suffer from some complex in some other area of their life that they don’t want to or simply can’t face.
All this is not so terrible- people are just people. But it is disappointing in the adult world to see that so-called grown-ups have not put away things that were tolerable and even at times somewhat interesting in adolescence but now are just prolonged distractions and sophisticated vices for the eternally adolescent.
