WE ARE IN THE 21st CENTURY

What does it feel like to you, Raffles? To me it feels pretty much the same, but things here are a little more crinkly. Like adult diapers. But not in a good way.

Well, you know what I mean.

Well get this: imagine a film from 1986 being watched in 1996. The film would have aged considerably in style, technique, etc.

Today I can watch a film from 1996, and it is now 2006, and the movies have hardly aged, compared with watching a 86 video in 96. Are we reaching a point where everything that can be discovered is being discovered?

I hope not

And yet it doesn't feel like it!

I worry that death will be poorer than my imagination can contemplate.

Kill yourself and you won't have to worry about it anymore.

An excellent point. I believe that there are more subtle changes in films, however, which are not as glaring as the one 86 example you gave.

If everything has been discovered, then I would say it was discovered a debateable number of years ago. What is 'new' today focuses on changing paradigms and nothing more.

Besides, the people with clout to hamper change will always do so, unless it is it is moderately profitable and they maintain control.

These days, an idea for a film isn't enough. A work of art screenplay can be resting in some hobo's lap as we type.

I had to call the ghostbusters to rid my system of all your dual ghosts. I also had to fumigate it due to the Skan duals.

Ok, so you're saying you watched Star Trek IV, "The Voyage Home" in '96 and it didn't age very well?

But then if you were to watch Star Trek: "First Contact" today, you might think it's aged more gracefully, by comparison?

Well, First Contact had Alice Krige and the Borg. Star Trek IV had fucking whales.

And headbands.
