This is my point, though, man. Pretty much all I do is consume art of the past at this point because so little in the present is interesting.
You also have this block with episodic TV, though, and I think that's sort of on you. True Detective, Atlanta, Louie -- there's some really stellar stuff being made right now, but I think less of those great works are getting done in the feature-length format...
Like how we were posting about Nolan's misuse of 70mm the other day? Meanwhile I watched Paper Boi on Atlanta get mugged in the woods, and I could see not only the beads of sweat on his face, but the actual pores of his skin. It made his experience more visceral to me, and then that episode took on a deeper significance after I watched the flashback episode that saw his character in junior high.

I've been having some problems with art lately, myself. I'm starting to think its a distraction from my life. Part of me thinks I'm exposed to too much art. Part of me thinks new art is crap. Part of me wonders if we are entering some new, horrible phase of existence where art is outdated.
Most of the movies I love lately have been bombed, but I guess people will still find a way to get them made.
Oh and memes have ruined other forms of comedy forever.

Nah. I like it when it’s good. It usually just isn’t. Louie was blah and True Detective sucked.

I love you but I have to quit now.
Jordan's opinions on art are mostly bad, but this one....this one is good. At the very least, the ending of True Detective S1 was really cringeworthy and negated a lot of the promise of the show.
