Still love the old school

Just a fucking little thought to barf out here in this time.

I grew up in the glorious 90s, where men were men and made awesome ballsy fucking good movies for boys to grow a pair of hard salty balls on. In fact it's quite a shock to get older and be juggled around in life by a bunch of women who are trying to act like men in this society. Because I grew up on the messages of being a tough no bullshit kind of male and to protect women and MAN UP and all that shit. So it's just striking to suddenly be out in the real world and be surrounded by girls who are trying to act like tough guys all day.

But that's a whole nother blog post. Ultimately I have no hand in that. I'm fucking black and when you're black you don't get to be involved in the white man's issues and problems, you just don't.

Something I woke up to recently. It's really not going to happen, I have NOTHING to do with whatever white people want or are coming up with, there's no great expectations for blacks to suddenly jump in and do anything big or great or memorable in history in this world.

But whatever yo. The thing I'm trying to say is that I just listened to Burton's Batman Soundtrack and it's just really beyond anything in the Nolan batman movies. The way the music completely sets up the batman universe so perfectly, it's truly amazing what Danny Elfman created.in the iconic batman score. That still to this day in my mind is the only batman theme music. In fact the saddest thing is that the new batman movies all 3 of them have NOTHING on Burton's first two batman movies. Because so much fucking balls was put into those two films. That it was and still is a huge mountain to climb to top  them. So much fucking balls. They put everything into those movies most likely because there wasn't going to be like nowadays reboots and fucking remakes and shit. They don't put everything into movies anymore because maybe some point down the line they'll reboot and who's going to care. But back in the 80s, it was all or nothing. So you can tell when they made movies like this that they put every last effort into crafting a masterpiece if possible.

I miss that. It's not like they care anymore about making a true lasting work of art, they just make a big money making machine and call it a day. But back in my time, they had no choice because there really wasn't going to be a consistent and reliable sequel and reboot system, so they had to make the movie great or die. It's the ultimate motivator in the end.
