Keep trying.
She meant that as a nice thing. You guys read it like she was talking shit. She was saying, keep going. No, no, no, no, no. It was encouraging. OK, anyway. But what are the patterns? Because, OK, here's the thing. I think we're all in 2025 now. Is it 2025, Benny? No, no, no. It's not 25. OK. Okay. But whatever year we're in, we're in a period where we keep thinking of the past.
We kind of romanticize the past in terms of films. You know, we're like, oh, you know, this era of films kind of sucks. The 90s was when the peak of Hollywood, you know, and then we go back to the 80s was when things were cool. And we keep thinking that way. I mean, you are one of the few people who actually lived through it all. Is it true that we live in the worst era right now? Or is it...
Or has it always been the case that we always look back with rose-tinted glasses?
Oh, so we suck and we also don't suck.
So what sucks about now?
Yeah, I mean, have I seen them? I'm in some of them. Oh, wow. Yeah, but what do you, I mean, you don't want to talk shit about anyone, but like, what is like, what do you think is your main problem right now? If you have to say, in general, in general.
The early 1500s.
No, it's a comedy show. You got sense of humor.
Sure. It's very Buddhist. It's very Buddhist. It's very cylindrical. But is that, I don't want to put you on the spot, but do you think there's a reason you could point to why that's the case, that they don't make it like that anymore?
But now it's just... Well, what do we need to do to get back to that? Do we need people to put down their phones? What is it?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's their problem. That's a them. That's a them problem. But OK, and then you said that's kind of like the problem. Like, you said that's why we're not in a good era. Why are we in a good era then? Why? Yeah, because you said, you know, we're currently, it's both. What era are we in? We're in an era that's bad, and it's also good.
Okay, well, let me put it this way, then, because we romanticized the past. What sucked about the past? So let's get on a record, you know, that what was bad about it? Like, what was bad about the era that you were coming through, you know? What did you not like about it?
Oh, okay, it was perfect. Okay, great. So, yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, for sure. And sorry, I cut you off a little bit. You're kind of explaining the studio system was ending when you got there. So what does that mean?
working and living in the West for a while now, much like myself. And do you have any comment on this current kind of civilizational clash between the East and West right now? What is your perspective on this thing?
And... Okay, well, then we are in a very interesting period there because shit is going down right now.
No. So you're saying there's a silver lining to this end of civilization?
