I sometimes miss the time before cell phones and internet. we needed each other more back then. also, people's entertainment was television and there were just a few chanels so when you went out you could talk about what was on t.v. the night before. movies were a treat and when we'd receive the t.v.guide we would look through it to see what was gonna be interesting that week and we would look forward to it. I suspect one of the reasons why so many people are depressed these days is because they live in an instant pleasure society so nothing is meaningful. when you have access to thousands of movie at your finger tips any time, movies become just something to kill 2 hours with. its the emptiness between stuff that makes stuff sacred, when you look forward to something you build up anthousiasm about it and this anthousiasm makes things precious and meaningful. I miss that emptiness that needed to be filled.

@reflectingmonkey That is so perceptive.
Especially about movies.I did exactly the same thing yesterday,i had about 3 hours to kill so i just put on a long movie(Black hawk down),but just to pass an hour or two,rather than enjoy it for it own sake.
I remember a time when going to watch a movie was a major event,and then you could only watch it again if it came back out or was on TV.Now movies are simply made for TV,and the studios are just turning out endless formulaic movies,endless "superhero"fantasy.Or runs of sequels like the JP series which are currently at 6.Star Wars is now just a cash cow,endless regurgitating of the same basic stuff..Everything that was once a treat is now there at the push of a computer button.
