Remember when you were a kid? Remember watching shows like Captain Marvel, or Wonder Woman? Like Land of the freakin' Lost! Remember that stuff?? I know when I was a kid I used to watch those shows and I would've sworn to God it was real! HAHA! Yeah, fairly dumb in retrospect, but I honestly used to wonder just how in the hell they got to film the superheroes while they had their adventures, and it was a neat experience. I mean, most kids would've just watched the damn show and went to play with their Stretch Armstrong, but not me. I had to figure this out! Eventually I did, and subsequently stopped watching those sorts of shows due to the fact that they were nothing more than men in tights, and that's about as bad as it gets. (smile)
But it's funny, because even though you look back at those shows, those experiences, and you can totally see how cheesy they were, especially when you contrast shows like that with the CGI stuff we have nowadays, they still have that FEELING, that certainty of interest about them from way back when. What was so neat when Star Wars came out is now just ancient to us, whereas the aliens and space wars on the big screen, with all of their computer generated amazingness, are just so common place. Makes you wonder where we lost our ability to be dazzled, you know?
Tripping on the crazy stuff that goes on in life!
