Must suck not allowing yourself to enjoy anything from the past, and only allowing yourself to watch the slop they make today. There's so many great old shows and movies to pick from.

I was with you until you generalized contemporary movies. Great things were made back then and great things are made today. Same for shitty slop.

You can literally listen to writers, directors, producers, and actors all talk about how cinema now is truly lower quality (including their own work) because it's specifically created to be a background not a center of attention. They specifically make shit for you to have on in the background while you scroll on your phone, this has drastically altered the quality of what is being filmed.

Some may. Others make art. Generalizing artists as a monolith is irresponsible.

I literally just watched one of the best films I've ever seen, the Woman in the Yard, which came out this year. It's very similar to one of my favorite films, but in a way that's not at all a ripoff. (I feel it would be spoiling some of the fun to say which.)

Sure, there's definitely good stuff to be found today as well. I'm just disappointed with the current trend of making remake after remake and reboot after reboot. Original content doesn't get the attention it deserves in comparison.

Right? Imagine not liking fucking Glenn Miller or like Sinatra or basically any jazz. Or ffs, Star Wars.
