In 20-30 years, will current TV shows and movies be viewed as complete and utter shit - GoFuckYourself.com

Paraskass · 07-31-2004, 11:44 PM

I just was looking at an old Batman movie on TV and it was complete shit.

The actors sucked, the special effects blowed loads, it was pure shit.

Do you think today's movies and TV shows will be considered crap in 20-30 years?

Living For Today · 07-31-2004, 11:44 PM

Hell no. Al Bundy will live on forever as the king of TV.

baddog · 07-31-2004, 11:44 PM

aren't they already?

fr8 · 07-31-2004, 11:46 PM

Nope because Fox will still be around.

Yes.

I hope that in a matter of months people start publically hating reality shows and laugh at them, pointing fingers and driving crappy studios bankrupt. I *hate* them with all my heart.

I've been watching Draknet or something, where Ed O' Neill plays a cop and I can't stop thinking about Al. lol. It's a decent show imho btw.

Living For Today · 07-31-2004, 11:51 PM

Is it as bad in America at the moment with the "home renovation" and "garden" type shows. These are really getting beyond a joke in Australia. You cant turn on the television on free to air channels at any one time at night and not find one of these shit fucking shows wasting air time.

keyboard warrior · 07-31-2004, 11:55 PM

it will be all holograms

Yeah, I caught a few minutes of RoboCop the other day and had a good laugh. I remember loving that movie when I was a kid.

Vitasoy · 07-31-2004, 11:59 PM

Yes, there will always be better shows.

Orsm · 08-01-2004, 12:08 AM

After years of looking I finally found my childhood favourite a few weeks ago which was AUTOMAN. Funny that something I loved so much as a kid 20 years ago now completely sucks by todays standards.

FTVGirls · 08-01-2004, 02:09 AM

Hey man Robocop the movie was great. Maybe the Part II & III suckd

xclusive · 08-01-2004, 02:13 AM

It's just a fact as generations go on their tastes change so what is funny today may be boring to them...

sicone · 08-01-2004, 02:17 AM

half the shows on tv now are already considered complete and utter shit

Pornopat · 08-01-2004, 02:19 AM

I saw bride of Frankenstein some days ago.
The movie is like 70 years old. It was fascinating to watch.
Movies that follow trends might die but there are movies that will always stay hot.
Same as with Shakespear.

Paul Waters · 08-01-2004, 03:46 AM

Some old stuff will survive forever.

Rod Serling's series come to mind.

{fusion} · 08-01-2004, 03:58 AM

some good classics in the 70's that i still watch if there on tv like starwars, taxi driver ect. still cool

Tipsy · 08-01-2004, 04:17 AM

Depends upon the show. The question far to open ended. Some will and some won't it's as simple as that. Much the same as TV from the last 20-30 years. There's still a lot of good stuff around and a lot that's now almost unwatchable.

not yet, not in 20 years.

BigPinPin · 08-01-2004, 04:39 AM

in 30 years? you can be happy if you will be able to watch tv then...

kowntafit · 08-01-2004, 04:51 AM

30 yrs is a fucking long time. I'm sure they will be well outdated far before then.

Serge Litehead · 08-01-2004, 04:52 AM

honestly, i find books more interesting than tv. when i get too lazy i watch some.

Goatse · 08-01-2004, 06:00 AM

For the most part, mainstream entertainment is for the dim-witted masses. It was complete garbage 30 years ago, it is complete garbarge today, and it will be complete garbarge 30 years from now. There are rare works of genius here and there, but they are generally beyond the grasp of the average Joe and typically fade into obscurity, rendering them useless and even undesirable for commercial purposes.

ytcracker · 08-01-2004, 07:20 AM

eh there are some movies that have come out with staying power

i think its the current music that will be questioned in the future

rowan · 08-01-2004, 07:25 AM

Hmmm, one problem I see with reality shows is that they have a finite life... they'll date a lot more quickly than more 'classic' shows like sitcoms. Do you really think we'll be seeing repeats of Joe Millionaire series #1 in 2024?

liquidmoe · 08-01-2004, 07:56 AM

The problem with a lot of movies is that they focus on ticket sales and using fx for fx sake. The movies with staying power are the ones that have a vision before they are shot and stay true to it during filming. Usually they do poorly at the box office. One example is Fight Club, it didnt fare too well in theaters but I'm sure since then DVD sales have quite made up for it. Also would be very interesting to see how a re-release would fare.

Other movies that work well are based around characters and acting, so much so that the cool and interesting sets in the movies only work because they enchance the feeling of the character. These movies dont rely on showing off the latest technology or anything of the sort. Two examples of this would be Snatch and Lock Stock.

bringer · 08-01-2004, 07:58 AM

i can see it now, friends 24/7 on tv land
i hope i die before then

I can't stand reality TV either. I think that it is the worst thing to happen to TV in my lifetime!

Firehorse · 08-01-2004, 08:21 AM

People generally have a fascination with the past. In it is very difficult to guess what society will be like in 30 years and how they will perceive anything, even our current TV programs.

infecto · 08-01-2004, 08:33 AM

Shows like friends, jag, hell maybe sopranos will be shown on tv land. There are still tons of old shows I enjoy watching, hogans heros, all in the family, dick van dyke show and lots of others.
