.... um......... who?
I think our generation was greatly affected by the unrealistic nature of our entertainment. And this is a good thing.
As kids, we mentally/emotionally invested in worlds that did not seem real at all. Video games, special effects in movies, and toys were suppose to be fantastical, forcing the imagination to activate.
This, to me, is where the 80’s paid off.
My little sister (born mid-90’s) watches MTV reality shows all day and most of her male friends play “Modern Warfare”.
She’s hardly able to read the first chapter of a book without checking to see if there is a movie version.
Give me Zelda any day.
Well, this current youth generation does have Harry Potter and Nintendo Wii.
But, yeah, I do think the goofy unrealistic nature of games like Zelda challenged young 80s minds to interpret those worlds in their own way. Whereas the ueber realistic look of today’s video games sort of spoon feeds that.
But I’m not really a believer in devolution, so I’m inclined to think there’s at least been a trade-off somewhere.

Ok, so, I thought I'd start watching Lost
but I’m watching the first episode and I can’t get past how stupidly annoyingly perfect whoever-the-fuck the main guy is, and how contrived and manipulative everything in the show is and just ugh ugh how do you watch this does it get better?
Lost is super cheesy. Big time contrived. I think the way you get through all of that stuff is simply to laugh at it. Even as someone who, I’m sure you can tell, loves the show, I’m constantly ripping on the ridiculous aspects of the storytelling. So are most of the fans. There are lots of snarky nicknames for the actors, characters and other elements of the show.
But on a whole, I think the mythology is so dense & different, that if you’re the type who loves puzzles and mystery, you’ll have fun despite all the fluff.
And I also think there a number of understated performances and moving moments in the series. But you have to develop a relationship with the characters first. And that’ll take a little time.
I always say, give it 5 episodes including the pilot. If you still feel the way you do after that, walk away.
