my generation


          When books,plays,comic books have been are turned into movies and it's usually hit or miss.Recently everything is being remade,like the movie Fame,The Taking of Pelhem 123,3:10 To Yuma.This decade has been filled with copies of the original sometimes for the better.I'm completely jealous of the 60's,70's,80's and 90's.There was originality and now everything is recycled.I would love to be apart of a decade that had  young band like the beatles,and new movies like the godfather and to see some exciting new artists.My brother says it's because all the good ideas have been thought of before and there's nothing left,no good stories to tell and maybe he's right, but when you redo everything and it turns out bad it degrades the original.Originality should be celebrated because it's very rare these days but when people find a formula they think works they stick with it untill they bleed it dry. Recently there have been a few good comic book movies,now every few months we get a bunch of ok comic book movies.Ever since vampires have become popular again there's 2 t.v. shows and a movie franchise.My friend read in an article that shoulder pads were back and now on every talk show I see the latest it-girl is wearing shoulder pads,like it's the 80's again and I see girls wearing leg wermers,seriously leg warmers.It's not terrible to bring back old styles to incorporate them but that's not happening.I would like to think that when I'm looking back this decade I'll see some individuality that I missed.But honestly I'd be suprised,will Miley Cyrus be a legend when I have kids,will the closest thing my generation has to the greatness be the Jonas Brothers.Time will tell but as the 2000's come to an end and the 2010's begin all I see is more overproduction of the same thing.
