Most entertainment today is like junk food.
Any sort of cleverness has been reduced to hiding some Easter egg in a scene. Skilled acting under a skilled director is not necessary as long as it turns a profit.
We are okay with being dumb. We don’t want anything complex.
We want it deep fried with extra cheese but add some mayo mixed with sriracha and call it aioli and add some micro greens so we can pretend it’s more complicated than it truly is.
We settle for something just slightly better than our shitty lives to distract us.
My trouble is that my life isn’t actually all that shitty, it’s just a challenge. I want a better distraction.
