Comments on: Why I’m Such a Curmudgeon http://www.niblettes.com/blog/2009/01/09/why-im-such-a-curmudgeon/ Tasty Little Nuggets of Design and Innovation Goodness Sat, 04 Feb 2012 02:12:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: WhiskeyJim http://www.niblettes.com/blog/2009/01/09/why-im-such-a-curmudgeon/comment-page-1/#comment-215410 WhiskeyJim Wed, 27 Oct 2010 00:53:44 +0000 http://www.niblettes.com/blog/?p=275#comment-215410 Your examples highlight a pet peeve of mine. Except for an exception here and there, I haven't seen a decently, creative comedian or funny sitcom for decades. Where did all the funny people go? Or is it the dummed down pandering culture combined with a unfaltering focus on body functions and their vulgar descriptions that is keeping them down? Your example of "The Dark Knight" is a good one. Hollywood is bent on providing a great number of very bad actors and directors with jobs. I had given up on the Batman series until "Dark Knight" came along. I am convinced the issue is fundamentally an ideological problem and the trends are very strong.
