एन्तेर्तैन्मेंट हस चंगेद

I'm sitting here watching Clue, and really enjoying the word play that is between the characters. The writers really did a good job on the whole movie. But has me thinking of how Entertainment has changed over the many years.

Growing up with older parents exposed me to music and movie/shows that were considered classics. John Wayne, Fred Astair, Humphrey Bogart, etc.. And I cannot help but compare todays movie industry to the past movie industry. Back when the movies just started and up to I would say the mid 1950's, movies had class, they had a way of expressing themselves without resorting to bad language or even graphic sex scenes.

A mystery actually played with your head, it was less action and more thinking. Now the mystery is generally people running around and of course you have your jumping out at scene. Horror movies were more about suspense and had some gore to it, and now they aren't even scary, they just throw an insane amount of blood and gore at you and they expect you to be scared.

Of course I shouldn't talk so generally about currant bad movies, when there are a few that get the wording, action and feel just right. Take for instance "Serenity" written and directed by the fabulous Joss Whedon. He knows how to write a show that doesn't need a lot of cussing or sex, this movie was wonderfully written and directed on probably a really small budget. The movie not only answered some questions that his show the "Firefly" left open, but it also allowed new viewers to come in and fall in love with the world of Firefly.

But he did that without resorting to having the F word thrown about every other word. Neither did we have to see any drawn out love scenes to understand that yes Kaley and the Doc got it on.
