Does Anyone Agree

[weecalf]

I think there have been enough films made ,enough songs recorded enough books wrote If we did not have any more I don't think anyone would miss them . People will prob not agree but it makes sense as there are too many films made .if the ones made were important okay but I think it does not make sense to make more .

[Mamyalynne]

Totally disagree - all forms of art and entertainment is an ever flowing stream and should not be stopped.


Creativity keeps the mind and soul alive.

[anneasquith]

sorry, I don't agree .

[weecalf]

Fair enough but I don't agree .would you miss it if no more films were made because you don't know what you are missing

[jim360]

But think of the new Star Wars films!

OK, bad example... but art and films are constantly moving on, and there's every reason to except that this will always be true (along with, of course, plenty of dross). If we had stopped in 2000 we'd never have had the LOTR films, or The Grand Budapest Hotel, etc.

[Mamyalynne]

But we would know that we were missing something we had, that there had been some sort of veto imposed on creativity - what a sad planet.

Methyl, you're usually such a straight to the point kinda guy.
Get your tongue out of your cheek. :-)

[maggiebee]

Think we must always move forward - what if they had suddenly stopped making films in 1950? How many people would still be watching them? Same goes for books and songs; they must reflect life as it is, not life as it was years ago.

[weecalf]

There are millions of films out ther ,good moderate and awful .so is every film ,song and book trying to be better than those which came before it .some fail by a long way .so if you do something it should be an attempt to better what gone before shouldn't it .are all books film songs a honest attemp to do that.

[Mamyalynne]

Not necessarily and that is the beauty of new stuff, we get the choice to decide - like it, don't like it. But to take away that choice simply strangles all future generations from bothering.

Boredom is a terrible thing.


What would you have these potential creative people do? Sit at home and watch Brief Encounter while twiddling their thumbs.

[rockyracoon]

I strongly disagree.

[pastafreak]

No more books? What a dreadful thought. Is that just for fiction?
Are you saying that those who want to write down the stories they created,cant??
Creativity is part of being human...what of painting,and music? So much would be lost.

[PankySmooch]

I agree with the songs bit, Elton John, Macca, One Direction etc

[ichkeria]

Apart from anything else the music film and publishing industries would be obliterated :-)
Back in the late 16th century, just before Shakespeare arrived on the scene, maybe people were saying the same thing ...

[weecalf]

So somebody did agree .

[fiction-factory]

I disagree. Couldn't the same thing have been said 50 years ago?

[chaptazbru2]

No more books, ever - I'd top myself (lol) !! Seriously, I couldn't live without my books and your post certainly doesn't make sense to me.

[bhg481]

They say that reading improves your spelling, grammar and punctuation. I wonder how many books weecalf has read.

[marval]

I don't agree, there should always .be new things.
