Movies are the same in their lack of depth and meaning today, as you say. But I will have to get back to you on that one. Just because I like something, doesn't mean it's good. And if there isn't a thread about favorite movies I suggest you make one.
P.S. I admire your energetic passion on this site Daneaothoc. And the fact you don't always believe you are right, and are happy to listen to all points of view before forming your own.
I wish you well in keeping that passion and open mind beyond your early twenties.
And in your battle with Ironwood over your stance on Bush.
I think ironwood will enjoy the debate though. And he's the sort of guy who can see you aren't just stirring shit. And appreciate the fact you are actually looking for genuine discussion and answers.
