Hell i turn 40 in a few years. <grin> In fact i've literally given up on the whole medium of film and tv. Not only do i not watch tv or movies when they're on or come out, i don't even download the vast majority of either. 99.999999999% of them are just boring 3rd rate rehashes of shows i saw while i was growing up. Apparently most of the execs are either too old or too young to remember the shows they're ripping off and are hoping all their viewers are too. In fact the only show in a very long time that i've made an effort to see is Firefly. Because it's different. It's not "trek" it's not "wars" eithers. Oh sure you've got a group of ppl in a ship wandering around space. But other than that it's not like any other space series i've seen. The whole wild west feel to it was cool too. But i don't want them to bring it back and do more seasons of it. Why not? Because the beancounters WILL fuck it up in some feeble moronic attempt to get it to "rate". And i'd rather go without than see that happen. This has been going on for as long as i can remember, and i’m an old bastard. Hell i turn 40 in a few years. <grin>
