I can't believe this isn't being talked about here. I saw the movie "Poor Things" being advertised on streaming recently. The next day, I watched a video talking about the movie and all the Oscars it had won.
The plot? A woman goes to commit suicide, and before she dies, a guy takes a baby's brain, puts it in her head, and now has an adult woman with a baby brain. She becomes a prostitute. This is a mainstream movie showing about as much sex and nudity as possible. And the entire time, the woman has a baby brain and is incapable of making decisions for herself!
This has to be a means of normalizing sex with either children or the mentally disabled or something. The plot is literally about an adult baby engaging in as much sex as possible. Just being groomed for sex from her "birth". The plot is absolutely disgusting.
I post this so you can be aware too.
Wow! And it won oscars? I don't know if anybody else is feeling this, but I just can't get into watching anything anymore. I used to love a good mystery, or comedy, but for some reason, I make it only 15 to 20 minutes in, and get so bored, I turn on something else. I turned to books on my kindle, the same thing. Nothing seems to hold my attention. What is going on?
If you are like me, we are suffering from information overload. If it is too woke, to gay, too evil, too violent, too insipid, too slow moving, or just too dumb, I have no tolerance for it.
It must embody some of the following: good natured, funny, heart warming, sweet, intriguing, non-political, or, be a good mystery or supernatural-type thriller.
And even then, I have to use the DVR to pause or fast-forward as needed to suit my short-term attention tolerance!
I think you're right. I feel the exact same way. I am so sick of the predictive programming put into everything, and I can't stop complaining about it when I see it. I'm glad to know I'm not alone:)
You are definitely not alone! I tend to make my observations (positive or negative) out loud while watching TV with the family. They all know how I feel. Most of the time they agree with me (now!). But sometimes they plead with me to quit ruining it for them by spotting the details too quickly (before they see them) and spoiling the mystery/agenda/ trick ending! Ha.
Old movies, old books - project Gutenberg is a good ebook resource. Free public domain books. Start with an author you know and read some things you didn't know they wrote.
Thanks for the project Gutenberg idea. That is a great resource.
" I turned to books on my kindle, the same thing. Nothing seems to hold my attention. What is going on?"
The same people who control the MSM also control the american publishing industry, that's what.
Thankfully I receive no television 'programming' in my home whatsoever, but since everything has gone streaming etc, each time I hear about the latest series being lauded, I read a little bit about it and my biases towards the industry being satanic are confirmed without fail. Everything is full of graphic sex of all permutations, repugnant violence, and eff and c words in every sentence - even in period and costume and fantasy, which used to be the 'good taste' genres once upon an innocent time (pre-2000). And this is just television, nevermind cinema. They want you stultified and inculcated by depravity so desperately that they now foist it into your laps in your own homes without you having to make any effort.
