Ya.. there's also this certain resentment of aging people in this culture; ever notice that?.. Someone once said, "If you don't believe there's age discrimination?.. just wait a few years." It's like, it's your FAULT, or something, for getting older.. Hey Gord's older and lost a little timber in the pipes.. BREAKING NEWS! and OH MY GOD!.. I mean so what.. What's too understated (in general I mean) is what's gained.. by what's lost..
re: "give some and then take it away"..
Yes.. indeed.. We have a free weekly here in Minneapolis (City Pages).. and I don't think I've ever seen a movie reviewer give a movie an A rating. B+ is the best ya can get etc.. (i.e. no movie, or anything for that matter, can ever be.. good enough) etc..
