Once told by an interviewer, "Everybody would like to be Cary Grant," Grant is said to have replied, "So would I."

@MrFibes I agree, people just want to do outrageous things to draw attention to themselves. It's a way to generate more money for themselves and boost their careers.

[MrFibes]

@MrFibes Its a scary thought where we are heading mediawise, entertainingwise. We are all ready there, but the frightning part is the cultural dumbening people out there.

Media plays a really big part shaping parts of our lifes.

I agree with you on the old movies part.. I too watch mostly classics, because with newer films, I often either dont like the movie, or one of the actors in it.

Maybe I have a problem some would say, but I dont care, I'm happy lol ;)

[MrFibes]

@brgvt97 Now, there is so loud..people. In those old interviews, people kept their head cool, they talked in a different way, and in interviews its so great to listen to a grown up conversation about relevant interesting things.

I dont mind f.ex gary busey doing strange interviews, he's just a comic relief. But when it takes over and it's in all the media with celebrities who just dont give a shit about anything, with what they say or do,

and they become more popular for doing it,

@MrFibes The classiest person nowadays is Anne Hathaway. Yes, I miss the pre-2000 days. I think about it often. Maybe that's one reason why I like old movies - they were made in a more innocent time and people had more class back then. Nowadays, people are ruder, they're chasing the buck, and they're self-centered. The tech gadgets of today are nice, yet peoples' standard of living is declining every day. The world changed beginning with the Florida recount in November/December 2000.

[MrFibes]

@brgvt97 I know. Some today still hold up some class. But It's just so much idiotic statements and booty this bling that, you know? ;)

I would like to have been born in 1920 and died in 1997, JUST so I would be perfectly happy not knowing the world post year 2000. Hehe.. But we can be happy in 2011 also. You just have to tune some of the rubbish out

[brgvt97]

@MrFibes You can say that again. Nowadays, people drop F bombs when they go onstage to accept an Oscar. Classless.
