I've been watching a lot of shit recently and the only things that seem to move me are old movies. Everything modern that attempts to be smart or artistic seems like shallow mental masturbation. After watching 3 Sorkin films, which were fun but got annoying real fast and after they were over I haven't really thought much about them, but then I watched Stalker and Ikiru which both were very moving, deep, and beautiful. Those two keep popping into my head, thinking of their meanings and themes. And with television It seems like it's even fewer and further between to find something that really sticks beyond simply setting up an episode to keep the person watching. I know not everything can be The Wire or Legend of the Galactic Heroes. I've watched so many terrible TV shows on netflix and amazon recently. I'm not sure why I keep watching them other than it's easy. The only thing that was even a little moving recently was Avatar, and I think my intense emotional reaction to that show was probably something to do with the fact that I watched it 15 years ago and didn't know how it ended, the extreme sincerity pierced my meta ironic armor, but does that make it good, just because a show made me cry? Do we define art by it's ability to make one think or by its ability to elicit emotion? If I hate a show or a book, is it doing it's job? Is this the difference between the objective and subjective analysis of something?
