What's to come in the near future for American culture? Apparently absolutely nothing worth while...according to an article released by 'the Onion' the upcoming work of our favorite artists, filmmakers, novelists, and musicians are the worst to be mass produced since 1999. A joint statement has been released by a group of these individuals involved in the entertainment industry saying that what is to come from now until the end of 2011 will be "pretty rough stuff".
After reading the article, I'm beginning to agree that what has been coming out recently hasn't been meeting my own personal likes for certain individuals that I've always loved before. I haven't come across anything sincerely monumental since "Black Swan" and I don't believe that is even a part of the 2011 cultural year. It seems as if you can't turn a corner in Hollywood without getting hit in the face with either a vampire, teen wolf, or other syfy mutant script. Is it an epidemic or just the entertainment industries easy way to keep a young audience interested? Either way nothing compares to the filmmaking genius of the 1960s or breakthrough films of 2000.
They continue to state in this particular article by 'the Onion' that advertisements will continue to amp up their work to make audiences believe that what is out there is indeed "the best of the best"...even though they are saying it is far from that. In my own opinion it seemed as if these artists for all these areas of work aren't trying to get an 'awe' factor of a great hit, it seems as if they are just trying to keep an audience. The passion seems to be fizzling. The advice given to society from this article alone is to bask in the wonders of the past until the work of the future entertainment area improves themselves.
Let's hope that 2012 brings more potential classics to show this generation is indeed not one to be messed with...let's hope we see a redemption coming soon.
