It’s not getting any better that’s for sure! I like the sound of some of those Japanese films yum mentioned. There are still a lot of good unexplored films from Asia.

Interesting what you said about consumption of films vs music. I'm the same; I'll happily watch the whole spectrum of cinema, including "background noise" kind of films like romcoms, or anything really. But with music I'm far more particular, and won't ever put anything on I don't absolutely love. No background noise when it comes to music, to the point where I haven't listened to the radio in over 20 years (since my early 20s, and even then it was Classic FM). Spotify is really good for finding new music though, as when you discover a track you like in a film or something, you can dive into that artist's catalogue, and similar stuff via the algorithm. That's how I discovered that Hypnotic Brass Ensemble I sent you recently.

@onaretrotip The only radio station I listen to is Classic FM and that's between cds in the car and in the kitchen. Your absolutely right about having to hear amazing music, I simply can't listen to anything else these days, infact I struggle with anything that isn't jazz (in all its guises) right now😆😀.

@onaretrotip I have been using amazon music (free trial) for a few months and have discovered some brilliant acts, although I do think Spotify is better, I can see the appeal again of these platforms as trying before you buy. Cheers Pete

In terms of films I will hold in the highest contempt anything with the word reboot/revision/reimagining or an extension of a franchise that was last seen 20 plus years ago. The lack of originality in cinema has really made the idea of sitting down to watch a film very much a matter of choice rather than a necessity. This from someone who back in their teens went to the cinema every week. I find it with games and TV shows too - particularly the latter which are usually crammed with the obvious and lazy tropes. Do I hate everything from back then which I cherish ? No I embrace a lot of it still, but I find myself turning further and further away from modern stuff (not all though, there has been some exceptions). This might answer your question, it might not 😂👍🐻

@TheRetroBear Great response Russ. I appreciate what you're saying and I think you've hit the nail on the head for why many people go back to the franchises etc of the things they enjoyed in the past as it wad objectively better. Thanks again mate.

Good vid. Think it's normal mate from your late 30's / early 40's. Your taste and priorities change. Been discussing today how i am running out of steam with certain old hobbies. I'm happiest by a country mile spending time outdoors. Fishing, camping, walking the dog. As far as films and music go there's very little modern stuff that grabs my attention so i'm looking for old stuff i've missed, whether it's 50's/60's/70's cinema, diving deeper into old school prog, or genres of music i've previously disregarded. Indoors i'm trying to read more widely and challenge myself. There's still a place for your old favourites and a bit of nostalgia of course but it's not predominant anymore. Always good to move forwards and above all else i rate experiences and challenges and quality time with the fam over 'things'. Get to 40 and it's obvious how precious your time is. Anyway i'm off to waste some of that precious time with a few beers 😂

There's only one style of ska worth listening to and that's the original Jamaican take on soul and pop. That skater ska is abysmal however there can be something said about the British / Caribbean hybrid ska from the late 70s, although its not really ska its something entirely different. P.s. Madness were far superior to the Special. Cheers James

Also to answer the question in the vid i occasionally grow to hate some of the old shite i was into, off the top of my head some indie dickheads i was into in my teenage years, for the most part however i'm pretty lucky and i can listen to certain old shit very occasionally for a bit of nostalgia. Nu-metal takes me back to my 6th form days and getting into the world of work and going out on the piss. Can only put up with it in small doses but i dont hate it. I forced myself to try and get into a bit of that ska punk when i was a kid, goldfinger, reel big fish and all that bollocks, kidded myself i was into it for a while, before reverting back to hating it and still do... haha

Can't remember the last blockbuster I really enjoyed, suffered the new ghostbusters last week. I new it was going to be cack, it was 💩. Regarding re-watching films, I do, but not regularly, depends on my mood.

@davidretrogamesplayedbadly3533 You're a braver man than me, Dave. I couldn't see any humour in the new Ghostbusters trailer, so I haven't bothered with it. The first two had genuinely comic moments. There's a few I've watched more than once 😆 🤣 At the minute I'm rewatching some later Clint Eastwood films like Perfect World and in the line of fire amongst others which I haven't seen for ma years years (recommended btw). Cheers Dave
