I was discussing with two good friends the other night about my nervousness for the future of movies and music.
What more can come of our music? Country boys will continue singing about booze, horses and women. Rappers will continue with their lyrical genius. Pop music will continue to be catchy for the first 2 weeks then become exceedingly annoying. Rock music will continue to rock.
It seems that with the rate things are going is that old songs will be remade with a different genre of music. Then I say the same thing about movies, with the most recent evidence being the "new and improved" Footloose. With movies, it is tough to come up with a concept that has not already been seen. There is a movie coming out called Immortals. The preview of this movie is what pushed me over the edge and I decided we're doomed. Rarely, very rarely is there a movie that will impress me with it's creativity, plot-wise. Is no one else worried? I mean if they can make another gladiator movie, it does well in the box office, and people are excited to see it, I guess people have not yet realized what is happening. It takes a lot for me to see a movie lately because they've been done before. The last movie I watched in theaters that 'wowed' me was July 2010 Inception. Oye.
Back to music. Thank god for more than one genre of music. Listening to one genre forever would become unbearable since songs sound the same. Well, now what are people supposed to do when they all are sounding alike. Yes I know there many more genres then the ones mentioned, but those genres do not aid my uneasiness either. Guess we'll just have to sit back and see what happens but I'm apprehensive about what the future holds.
