The movies these days suck. Updates of old classics are pointless. The music sucks. I won't even review it. The food sucks. It's all fat and crap. Teenagers have a bad attitude. They swear and they show no respect at all. People have lame grammar. Their writing skills are pretty dire. The end. :rolleyes:

she's got a point. me and midnight here are both extremely awesome!
maybe you've got an attitude problem?!
I'd like to give my opinion now. :p *Ahem*
Movies don't suck, we have good movies. If anything, they are better. We can have amazing visuals. Think of movies like The Day After Tomorrow or Constantine. (Just two examples, I'm too ill for others :p) Years ago we didn't have the visuals for those kind of movies, so looking back old movies are not all that great. Yes, story lines counts, but storyline, great visuals AND great acting.... Well, that shows they don't suck. Updates are not pointless, not all movies updated are slaughtered in that way.
The music ROCKS. I love today's music. I'm sorry, but if we still had music like..er...which you would "properly" dance to, as I'll call it, I very much doubt this generation would listen to it. Well, if that doesn't count for anything... I like my music. ^_^
I agree with the food, but its not all fat, and its not all crap. It's crap if you make it crap. Apple pie isn't crap....
The world does not revolve around Grammar. Yes, it's important.. But it's not THAT important.
Finally, teenagers are not all that bad. Some are...But unless you have been around for a long time how do you know that teenagers haven't always been this way. Adults don't always show respect and they are just as likely to swear. I show respect. I'm a teenger. Okay, so I swear.... But still. You can see what I mean, right?

i'm only 14, soon to be 15 ^^ and i don't have a bad attitude. i show respect to everyone until i'm shown dis-respect. Unless i'm pissed at something, then i tend to be kinda dis-respectfull.

Not ALL teenagers have a bad attitude.
well 99.9 % are shitty so you might as well say all of us.
I know though, it's sick. It's like all of the movies are either remakes or based on other things; No one can be original anymore! And the few movies taht are original ideas. . . They suck! Food is actually flavored and colored lard, you just think you're eating salad. And I walk out of my house, and everyone my own age (17) scares the shit out of me. All the kids look like they're about to pull a gun out on you and respect isn't even in their vocabulary. My own little sister, who's 13, tol my aunt to, "Shut up!" teh other day, and for no good reason. I hope the world's not coming to an end, because technology seems to be in a stasis, and it's been becoming more apparent that everything has already been thought up and originality seems to be evaporating.
Well firstly not all the movies around now suck. Some do, some don't and some are okay =/ Some are pretty good, but I guess your taste is different or you have higher standards for movies. The music is pretty crap, but I mean the mainstream music and what's "popular", all that is mostly crap, very few mainstream stuff is actually good, there is still some good and okay music around now but yes I agree most of it isn't that great. Like rap and hip-hop used to be better before now it's just got pointless and stupid lyrics and typical beats, rock has a new emo craze which i'm not THAT fond of and alot of the new mainstream rock is also just... crappy, xP. So there you go and pop is still the same - boring and not that appealing. (Uhh.... wouldn't have a clue about the rest of the genres). Still a few good bands AROUND however, some though started like in the 90's or 80's =/
The food is pretty bad and full of fat and crap, but there is still obv. alot of good food, people however just never eat it. But yeah i'm guessing there's just gonna be more junk food in the future and more obesity which isn't a good thing but some people still atleast try and be healthier, or lose weight and stuff.
I dunno about the teenager thing I mean I agree that compared to probably maybe before their attitude and respect to parents and stuff is worse, but still not all of them are like that... or well... completely, disrespectful, rude and do whatever they want =/ Maybe some but not all and everyone single teenager on this world right now is like that. And with the grammar thing it's mostly with kindergarten to maybe 2nd Grade kids and the internet =/ Real life i'm pretty sure they try and write things properly and crap but on the net it's just... all this shorthand bullcrap and no puntuction or grammar =/ (I don't mean shorthand like lol, brb, btw, bbl but other stuff).

Suddenly, I feel the need to express my feelings.
Movies
Nothing original exists anymore. The comedy films aren't funny and the industry have been beating to a pulp. Horror movies are all the same. A typical scene involves a bit of a fright. You think the killer(s) will appear, then it turns out the protagonist's friends were playing a joke. They keep making updates of great films which in my opinion, is pretty pointless. They'll make a franchise out of great films or lame films or old TV shows. For example, Jaws was the best shark movie ever. There is no denying that. What do they go and do? They make some sequels, none of which could compare to the first movie. They did it so they could try and emulate their success but they fail. What did they do to Scream, Haloween and Friday the 13th among others? They made a whole plethora of "bad" sequels. Although some of them were decent, but some of them lead to the demise of the series.
Music
Can you actually call today's music music? It's awful and repetitive and not in the least bit interesting. It seems they'll give a recording contract to the first guy they think can sing. Why do a cover of a Nancy Sinatra song? Are all these old classics fading away that fast that they have to release cover versions to regain the legacy? Please. It is just a way of making a fast buck through other people's achievements. Keyboards were very fashionable in the 1980s but now they are yesterday's news. People should respect the old hits. I mean, they were a lot more entertaining and intelligent than the trash they bring out these days. People take technology for granted.
Food
It's poison with fancy codes. All people eat these days is chips coated in cheese. How horrible is that? Think how much grease must be in one portion. Even the chocolate tastes like cooking oil. It's too greasy. They use vegetable fat instead of adding cocoa. Juice is not even real juice. There's probably only 5% juice in the entire 200ml bottle. Children are rejecting fruit for sweets and crisps because the additives have them hooked.
Youth
Teenagers can do as they please and their parents don't even care. Kids as young as 11 are getting drunk and high on drugs. How the heck do they get away with it? I think parents should be sent to jail, although you cannot always put the blame on them. Sometimes you feel as if somebody will attack you just because you support a different soccer team. It's really bad if you are pressured into having sex before you turn 16 as well. Again, that's not right. You should have the right to go about your daily business without having to worry about being attacked or threatened, in the public or the working environment.
Okay, I don't know what country you live in but I have not heard of kids as young as 11 getting drunk and high (I am 12 myself) =/ And your talking for only some of the population (with the food + youth issue), I mean maybe young kids, I mean very young kids who don't know much would just eat candy and chocolate and not much else, and well no surprise there, they are little kids what would they know about health? But obv. that'll change and they'll know when they're older (say around 11 - 13?). And not every bottle of juice is like only made of %5, once more I don't know what country you live in, seriously. I mean there are companies over here who make juice where the majority or most of it is real juice. That and we often make our own juice (my family) since well it tastes sweeter, but too much effort sometimes, xD. With the last few lines of your paragraph about Youth, I agree with you there, but that's the world, and it didn't just change now, it's been like for ages (after the thing about being pressured to have sex before 16, and what's up with that I haven't exactly heard of that either... well maybe a bit but not really, like it's not like alot of people get pressured about that, well not around here as far as I know of). And btw music is music... it's a combination of sounds put together + sometimes there's vocals =/ So you can't say the music now isn't music, it's just... worse than what it used to be and once more there is still some good music around, but again most of it started before and "technically" isn't really music from now.
*Alot of errors and plain crap in this post, xD. I just felt like posting it at that time and probably would edit it now but couldn't be bothered reading through, xP.

you've crossed the line...you are wacked out....let us review what you have said! :D
1. movies aren;t funny any more? take finding nemo, and bruce almighty....classic films! we've come along to make the kind of fiulm that makes us really laugh. And unoriginal? take the shawshank redemption...that kicks ass.
and take constantine...one of the best films I have ever seen, and i ahve been brought up with movies since i was 3! hear me, 3! i am now nearly fifteen, and have watched over 1,000 movies.
2. music is better than anything nowadays, there's something for everyone...don't get me wrong though, nothing can beat queen or pink floyd or the who, but they come prettry close. look at the killers and coldplay. ever sane person loves then, even if it's not their genre.
3.Everyone's taste differs, but have you heard of a little condition called diabetes? hmm? have you?! well i can tell you, without this high sugared "crap" they would die....and diabetes effects over 5 million.
4.the youth like that is solely dependent of the parents....the parents have no self control, so the kids take in a club or gang, and to fit it, need to do specific things. no one likes druged up kids, and they don't wanna go to prison, but have no choice.
you're just stuck in a world, where your eyes, have been covered up.
you need a reality check, darling....get a damn life!
i have made my point :D
And teh Lei agrees with Lancer..... I can't say anything which him or Auron haven't said, because everything they have said is right 100%.
You can't live in the past forever and it seems to me that's what you are trying to do.
~Manick~
27-08-2005, 18:38
I agree that the world is deteriorating, especially alot of today's youth.. Well at least here in London anyway. My best friends little brother lost his virginity at 11 to a 17 year old, things like that are seriously messed up. I know kids as young as 10 smoking and wanting to get stoned. But I seperate myself from all them. Yes the world is changing, and maybe things aren't as safe as they were 10-20 years ago, but thats life. People change, so do culture's. I do believe that the human race will end up destroying themselves, the majority don't care about anyones benefit but themselves. Of course their are people that are considerate and actually care about the future of our grandchildrens children etc. But not enough, the majority will end up destroying the world, and unless people wake up, its inevitable. The matrix got the idea, referring to the human race as a "Virus". Any other species of animal would adapt to its surroundings to survive, but we have to adapt and change our surroundings to survive. We drain resources from other things, then when they're all used up, we move on. :/
But everything else you said, I think is just personal taste, today's music/films have nothing wrong with them.
I agree with what Manick, Auron and Lancer has said. But I do have some things to say.
Grace, one thing that does annoy me is how people group everyone together
"All people eat these days is chips coated in cheese. "
There is many people in the world that dont eat dairy products, which cheese is one of them. Also not everyone eats chips nor likes them, My little sister who is 4 would rather eat fruit then sweets. You give her a bag of grapes and she'll be more then happy, dont get me wrong she'll eat the odd sweet if it's there but we all do, don't we?
Movies, what movies have you been watching lately? because the ones i've seen recently have been funny i.e. white chicks. Horror movies there are alot of horror movies out there that arent like the scream movies
Music, everyone has their own taste in music you cant tell them there taste is bad, because 90% of people may say your taste is bad. There's things like Elvis who is heavly over-rated with other artists and people like Erasure get nothing, yes I would rather listen to some of the old hits then the new ones but this generation of music brings out something for everyone so, everyone can have something they want to listen to.
Youth, it all depends who the kid hangs around with not all kids are wanting to do drugs or get drunk, I know plently of people for when I was at school even at college that would rather read a book then go and get drunk, so thats another flaw in your assumption
Most movies are Pointless, infact 90% of hollywood movies are crap.
Rap promotes stupidity and singer nowadays like to whine about their stupid lives which we dont wanna hear *cough* simple plan *cough*
Food is shit today. heh i prefer my own cooking then at the place i work, they just throw in the frozen food into like 4L of oil.
and yes REAL Salmon isnt Cheap, the fake cheap ones are all injected with dyes. You can get cancer.
LONG LIVE ABBA!!!!!!1111
about horror movies, they Copy Japanese Horror movies cause Most stupid hollywood movies are too damn predictable.
heh, i Look down on stupid messed up youths who dont want to change their ways

I dunno where the hell you're from, but I've gotta disagree with what you said. Simply because, it's already been proven that not all horror movies are Japanese Re-makes. You're right about food, it's greasy, but you could put just as much grease into something you make yourself as something you buy, so forget the whole thing about salmon.
The thing that I've mostly gotta disagree with you though is Hollywood Movies. Fair enough, they're predicitable an' all but I've really never seen a decent British (bar maybe Dog Soldiers) or Bollywood movie in my life. The only people who can be compared with Hollywood is the Japanese. Their culture is different, their style is different, their whole morale of the story thing is different, so all in all they make better movies, but if you can't be arsed to read subtitles, Hollywood is probably the only entertaining place you'll find movies that're in English.
And on your subject of music, I have to argue with what you said there. Not ALL singers sing about their useless good for nothing lives. You've chosen a good example but a bad one if you're refering to all music played. Not all bands follow the whole Simple Plan thing, not all people sing the most obvious and stupid lyrics. Have you heard of Muse? Kasabian perhaps? No...then really, you've got a bad point about all music being bad.
think about it, most hollywood movies are biased, example, the Russians are always the bad guys etc etc...
Okay with the music thing. I'm guessing these two guys mean mainstream bands and artists =/ As in like the really mainstream ones which you always hear about and can't understand why all the other people like them when really they're just pure crap :P Cause well I don't think they've heard everyone single band and singer in the world that started in the 00's to say that the music now sucks. Cause that basically means everyone single band and singer in the world from around now =/
And movies, well that's your taste, you just don't like those kind of movies then don't watch them. Go watch some movies that are of your taste =/ Cause personally there are still many good movies and funny ones to watch around now, I mean movies before might have been better but that could just be you. So get over it and go make a movie of your own or something and show the world what a great film really is! =D And we'll all be proud of you *tear* =P

I agree 100% Auron...it brings a tear to my eye too. :(. But yes, he's probably refering to Mainstream, me personally, I'm trying to broaden the music here, because he's generally listening the worst pop-based crap on the Planet. Not all music is like that Lenin.

Um, there are a few good British horror movies too like The Descent and I can't see how they copied other movies or games, but regarding teenagers and food, it is just the generation of these years. I don't want to sound like an old grandfather because I was still having to wear a nappy in the 1980s. Since I left school, I've been very fond of bands from that decade. You can't beat the good ol' 1980s. :D
^ Damn straight. That's so true, the 80's rocked, definately. But I think the 90's were my favourite era of music, I dunno it's pretty tough to choose between, either 80's or 90's. The 70's is kinda ehhh.... Some pretty damn good music but still, 80's and 90's were better, xD. Guns N' Roses... that's all I can say <3

The movies these days suck. Updates of old classics are pointless. The music sucks. I won't even review it. The food sucks. It's all fat and crap. Teenagers have a bad attitude. They swear and they show no respect at all. People have lame grammar. Their writing skills are pretty dire. The end. :rolleyes:
The irony there is killing me.
Bad attitude? you just ranted on didn't you how movies suck and all that?
Music is as great as it ever has been. Maybe you're listening to the wrong stuff.
Movies don't suck, you just don't like them.
Food doesn't suck, you're just eating at the wrong places.
Teens don't swear and show no respect, I should know, I'm ****ing one of them, shit shit balls arse tits **** **** mother f..... :P
People have lame grammar, can't be helped can it? Unless you wanna slap them in the face with a dictionary...
The end. :rolleyes:
hmmm this thread should have been caled minor problems of the world this stuff is not greatly debatble ro to talk about except that thing with teens cussing and not showing any respect.

i have made my point :D
Cute bur you're a little uninformed .
1. Finding Nemo... Bruce All Mighty?? How old did you say you were?? Well that's just my taste of movie so I won't criticize you.
2. Music??? Music sucks gigantic flabby, hairy ass! Hip Hop isn't even music it's just crap and hard Rock is fading. Music's been down hill since 1999.
3. uh... are you really confused about diabetes? It depends on what type you are, but for the most common form of diabetes, the body doesn't produce enough incline(Or no incline), IE: It doesn't make enough enzymes to break down sugars. So those "High-sugared crap" Food are actually bad for most diabetics and they have to stay on strict diets which limit their intake of sugar. The other type of Diabetes is where people produce too much incline (Probably the type you're thinking of) And the excess of incline is dangerous, someone could need some sugar if it got too low. But then again anyone with low blood sugar would need it. The main point is that the more common for of diabetes is the one you WEREN'T talking about. . .
4. Parents play a large role in their teens life, but kids are humans and they have minds of their own. Teens make choices and Teens have the power. I'm 18 years old and never in my life did I try, or even touch a single drug. The only time I've ever drank alcohol was WITH my parents and I wasn't doing any heavy drinking. I've never even had my lips within 2 feet of a cigarette. And I'm not some Atypical weirdo; I've developed normally throughout my life and had the same issues and problems as other teens, but I wasn't a dumb ass and I made the right choices. Parents are needed to teach the children what's right and what's wrong, but the children are the ones who make the decision on which one to participate in. Almost all of my friends have done drugs or smoked or drank, most of them are even sex fiends, but that never effected me, and it doesn't have to effect today's youth. I listen to Cradle of Filth and Virgin Black and my favorite singer is a bisexual drag king but I'm not sexually corrupted or demented. There are no such things as bad influences, just inexperienced Parents and incorrigible Children.

They butcher everything. That's not a lie either.
Sixth, you say Lancer's uninformed when you basically say you don't like his taste in movies and music? I think you're uninformed aswell, maybe even more. Because you really don't have any evidence to back up #1 and #2 apart from personal opinions.
LMFAO, I cant believe you Sixth..
Finding Nemo
Shrek..they all have adult "jokes" inside there, so adults can enjoy it too..so dont go "how old are you?" moron.
It's no wonder Grae acted the way he did towards you, read your own posts before you post them
Aeyze :: This is a totally useless edit on my half but I just felt the need to say that Shrek & Shrek II make laugh every time I see them D: My dad loves them too xD Theyappeal to all ages IMO plus I love you Akiko! <3<3<3<3<3, better then grae rawr!
Dale Anthony
13-09-2005, 11:19
Yup Shrek is hilarious. I've had people as old as my Grandmother laughing at that, so it's hardly a bad thing for elders to watch it and not enjoy it.
Shrek is one funny-ass movie. Probably even more funnier then Finding Nemo, sure there MAY be times when it's rather too "kiddy" or something, but most of the time it's funny, god love that movie <3 So Sixth, are you saying basically if your not a kid anymore your not allowed to watch any children movies or some crap? Cause nowadays they've got humour in it - for both kids and adults, so when the adults brings kids to watch they won't be snoring for most of the movie, xD. And with the music things that's so true, except for one exception - Velvet Revolver, since they were "technically" made in like 2001 - 2003, could be wrong, but yeah.... music sucks now =( The only good bands around are ones that were formed before the 00's (VR and one or two other bands are an exception, xD). Yeah, sucks that Hard Rock is dying =(
Dale Anthony
13-09-2005, 12:17
I agree with ya Auron, but I have to disagree. Velvet Revolver are also one of those not so good bands. I know you like them, but to be honest, Slash is past his best and Duff looks like he could use another drink. Oh...and Scott Weiland is an asshole lol. They're...meh...alright, but I don't think they're doing anything to keep Hard Rock up. I think the true dying legends are probably Q.O.T.S.A. but they WERE formed before 2000 so ya know.

Yeah I realise that Slash was probably better back when he was with GN'R or something, because well he's rather old now, xD. And well if Scott is an asshole I wouldn't know, I just listen to the music is all, and some other stuff, xP. Well they're not "doing anything" to keep hard rock up, but their style is still somewhat hard rock in my opinon, so yeah =/ Yeah, thanks for the bit of information, xP. I thought it would around then (as in 2001=) but I guess I was wrong >< And who's Q.O.T.S.A ? >< Maybe it's just you and your tastes and mine and my tastes, xD.
Dale Anthony

lol. Q.O.T.S.A. - Queens of the Stone Age. I don't think they're as popular as VR these days, but yeah...I think they've still got the right sound for Hard Rock. Don't get me wrong, VR do have a reasonably Hard Rock sound, but I just don't think it's the same stuff. When I first heard about VR, I thought, well they're gonna be amazing. The remaining members of G'N'R with the Stone Temple Pilots lead singer (the latter I hadn't heard of before but I knew they were famous) I thought it would be rad, but I'm kinda feeling let down by them. Not really what I expected. But you can't randomly create legends outta the blue. Someday they might create something amazing.

And there's one other dude from some bands i've never heard of - Dave Kusher, xD. Oh yeah Queens of the Stone Age, well I heard they were pretty good, I was going to start checkin' them out but I forgot about it, xD. My sister's friend likes 'em and well he's taste is... PRETTY good, xD. Well I don't think they're going to be around for THAT long (VR), I mean well they are kind of famous cause i've seen several people with VR shirts, friends who listen to them, etc, but I know a few people who aren't fans of them, mainly thinkin' of them as a GN'R remake, which they're not ;_; Slash was already a legend, but that was with he's days as a GN'R guitarist.

I wouldn't put your hopes down. When people find the encouragement and motivation they keep going just that little longer, and if ever VR did release something legendary which blasts the airwaves for years to come, then they'd definitely keep going.
I wouldn't put your hopes down.
xD. It'd usually been "I wouldn't keep your hopes up..." xD. But this time it's the other way around, rofl. Yeah maybe, like if they release a new album, which i'm sure they will (cause I doubt that they're going to stop after just ONE album), they could wanna make it something big... or like on their last album, they might make it so that it'll be something that everyone will remember, xP. But yeah, we'll just have to see.

Auron-X is a female force. Ha ha ha, classic...sorry, just reading your quote thing lol.
Yes, I'm kinda more optimistic than most people so I say the opposite which ironically isn't actually a saying lol. So I simply say, I wouldn't put your hopes down. Yes, sounds naff but I like saying it lol.

think about it, most hollywood movies are biased, example, the Russians are always the bad guys etc etc...
Well there aren't all that many movies with Russions in them. ô.0
But hollywood is rather bias

I was listening to the debut album by The Style Council this morning. "Long Hot Summer", "Headstart For Happiness" and "Speak Like A Child" are a trio of fine examples as to why 80's music owns the shit out of everything they release these days.
Thats only in your opinion, so you can't really say it owns the shit out of all the music these days, when some people like modern music, but then again, thats only opinions isn't it?
Its all subjective.
Dude, I think the 80's would go under "Modern Music" =/ Well kind of I guess, so maybe you should rephrase that, xP. To like... 00's music =P

The 1980s offered really talented artists who could write great literature and music that would become quiality entertainment for years. People like Paul Weller could do a remix of a song and it wouldn't lose much of its magic if any at all. But now you have to be content with all these manufactured singers who cannot sing surprisingly and they just sound terrible to listen to. I know music is just sounds but there's great music, then there's good music and then there's awful music. I also strongly dislike cover versions of old classics as I see this as theft or mockery.

Honey it ain't theft or mockery, those people pay the original artists BIG BUCKS to do covers of their songs and when they make parodies they get paid more. And some cover versions are great, for instance I love Sweet Dreams are Made of This by Eurythmics, but I equaly love Manson's version.

Crazy?nah!!The world's always been like this but back then Green Day didn't wear any clothes.
Music: Lancer has got a point.No one can match Pink Floyd but or Nine Inch Nails(ANOTHER ALBUM!!!)but that doesn't mean what is new sucks.Audioslave,System Of A Down,Disturbed,The Killers,and even the Franz Ferdinand bufoons.
"Well do ya.Do ya do ya wanna wanna go?
Love that song...Not them all suck.
Movies: Shrek was a good movie and so was the sequel.The Matrix Reloaded was cool nevertheless stupid.And most animations are crap and Jim Carrey owns so don;t dare say otherwise.
Parents: Why wasnt anyone listening when I said nuke the earth?Parents need to be like...too tired to explain.Mostly mean.Like if I ever have children I am going to criticise them on how they shit on their dipers.They'll hate me but they'll be thankfull that I was so mean to them and they will realize that I taught them things.
My parents have always been kind to me and I turned out JUST fine *twitches*
No seriously now, I've never been smacked, never been grounded, never had stuff taken away from me... and I've learnt about life and stuff perfectly well.
And my friends all love my parent's 'cause they're literally like "Yeaaahhh sure whatever, just tidy it up and if I don't see it, then it didn't happen!"
Anyways, the modern world is great, sure its gone crazy, but thats a GOOD thing! Wuahahahahaha

You guys should meet Andrew from my work. He's a screwball who has the worst taste in music I've ever heard. A customer got angry today and left the shop because of it.
All you lot have to remember is we all have different tastes in stuff, no song is bad or movie. The only thing wrong with society is the fact, people cant accept others opinions and if they dont think like we do then we have to force our opinions on us.

Paul Weller is going to be in Edinburgh soon. Now he's a true musician. ;)
yes, and Royksopp are going to be in Newcastle in two days, they are also true musicians. As are.. and... and... and... and so on.
Opinions, opinions, opinions. Broken records, broken records, broken records.

And again with the bringing back of 6-month-old topics. Hoorah.
And if you hadn't guessed by the crossing out of the name and the giant 'BANNED' under his name, Grace has been banned, so there's no point talking to him.
dont give me a warn for this but can some one close this thread so people dont reurrect it. again.
