I miss 2023

Rose always tints the past making one think fondly of a time that wasn't what one remembers... You say you miss 2002 and the better times. In 2002 one could've easily said they missed 1984. In 1984 one could've easily said they missed 1966 and so on and so on. Now, I'm sure, in 2038 NO ONE will say they miss 2020, but you get my point. All eras have bad in them that passing of years tends dull the bad to a faint memory...

For example 2002 - We were in the throws of War with Afghanistan, war in Iraq was under way. We were rebuilding New York after the terrible tragedy. The country was in fear and trepidation over the uncertain of if another attack will take place.

At the time I thought it was already starting to get pretty crappy concerning music, tv, movies and world events. But I'll take it over 2020.

Ignore the nonsense about glorifying the past. Times actually are worse at the moment.

Punch Drunk-Love
The Pianist
City of God
Catch Me if You Can
Signs
Adaptation
The Bourne Identity
Gangs of New York
Minority Report
Red Dragon
Panic Room

I'd love it if movies like the ones I mentioned were coming out now.
