I have never seen Brian's Song, Love Story, or any other movie that deals with something like this. I know you list it as a thriller, but it does sound a bit depressing??Same here. I tend to avoid those types of things too, but I have to admit, Breaking Bad was one of the best shows I have ever seen. But then again, I viewed Walt's diagnosis as more of a vehicle to get the story and his metamorphosis started as opposed to it being the #1 plot. For me BB was more of a tale of a man's descent from mild mannered average Joe into evil drug kingpin.
Quote from: MightyGiants on April 03, 2024, 12:03:29 PMOne thing Elvis and the Beatles didn't face was as much competition for one's leisure time/entertainment. Back in their era, music was more important to young people as there were nowhere near as many ways for them to entertain themselves.This is true. Elvis and the Beatles had less competition for someone's time and attention, but there were also fewer outlets to be entertained by and I'm guessing Taylor Swift can be found on all of them (except maybe the video games and that's probably just a matter of time now. HAHA)
Video on demand, computer games, social media, texting, working, podcasts, smartphones, and LARPing (I am sure I missed a few) are all competing with listening to music, especially exclusively listening to music. I am pretty sure young people today are not sitting in their rooms listening to records or the radio.
Plus Elvis and the Beatles were in the early part of rock and roll. Today's artists are competing with decades of rock, rap, country, and many other genres with vast numbers of options.
