I worry about our grandchildren.

At least the grandchildren are able to enjoy movies with really GOOD computer-generated graphics - unlike what our generation slogged through. The closest thing to graphics back then were cartoons.....ah blia, ah blia, remember that's all folks? And can I say anything good about ALL those Rock Hudson and Doris Day movies on TV then? Probably not. They were funny, in that, during a bedroom scene they both had to have both feet on the floor. No wonder that it was a "golden age" for burlesque and x-rated movie theaters.
........And the only way to see a real intellectual, worthwhile, and worth the money movie in a theater was to go to a foreign films theater and see something (not Hollywood) by a director like Federico Fellini.
There were some exceptions to this, like "The Birds" and that movie with the famous (for its time) shower scene early in the movie - by Alfred Hitchcock. "Chariots of Fire" was good. Earlier a Charlton Heston movie about racing chariots in Rome was long and good. Those were the days of LONG movies and intermissions (something unknown today) - probably due to shorter attention spans)! My personal fav old film was, "a Boy and His Dog", which MAY (?) have been the original apocalypse movie? Sorry about the trip down "old memories lane".
