I don't know what's happening to western culture. Mediocrity prevails in the mainstream. We see it everywhere. In movies, animation, television, music, and even the quality of goods and services has diminished. <BR/><BR/>But when it comes to the mainstream "arts", it's unfortunate that this situation has existed for so long now, and continues on. Who is to blame but the people who buy these products? We all have choices. Believe it or not, real talent still does exist out there. You just have to look in the right places to find it. But, unfortunately the masses continue to support these mainstream products. At this point I'm surprised that even the indiscriminant majority insn't bored.<BR/><BR/>All I can hope is that sometime soon a transition will occur. Perhaps it will come about as a byproduct of the economic situation. Maybe with people having less disposable income, they will develop the ability to see the difference between quality and a waste of money. <BR/><BR/>I wonder if the government will bail out Hollywood if it begins to fail. Let's hope not.Jim A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10388665062324009426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4761399790417030925.post-177283627425441182008-12-22T10:43:00.000-08:002008-12-22T10:43:00.000-08:00Hey Pete,I agree with you.
