Current culture may not be very satisfying. Maybe it isn’t great for selling magazines. Turn away from the present and slip away into another time with these selections.
I have wondered if movies over the past 15 years or so have relied more on special effects, fantasy based themes, comic book characters from the past, medieval characters with special powers, lighting bolts delivered from giant swords, etc. All this because American culture these days may not be too interesting.
Possibly of interest:
When I was a kid, reality TV was The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau.
The Night of the Squid:
Also, about this time in history: The first man on the Moon.
