crowswork May 26, 2015 Share May 26, 2015 I think it's about how it's easier to just say "The world is crap and there's no point in even trying." The whole creepy reality, survival, angry, and yes climate change is one of the things people point to as why things are hopeless. I see it now - young people prefer Mad Max to Star Trek. Some people seem to be looking forward to the apocalypse. Imagine all the things invented by folks who were young during the sixties and became engineers and scientists and tried to make ST reality. Now picture all the wonderful things invented by fans of the walking dead (Which I like) or any number of "it was after the apocalypse" movies, serial killer torture porn and fantasy 'long long ago' stuff. Some good movies and shows but not exactly inspirational for kids.

There are still, from what I can tell, plenty of movies that are About Something, or at least try to be About Something. Hell, even some of the superhero movies tend to get heavily peppered with angst these days. Movies like San Andreas and Lucy are big bucketfuls of delightful insanity, and if they're the Meat Loaf to everyone else's Wagner, then that's all the more reason for me to embrace them. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2897-in-a-world-movie-and-tv-show-trailers/page/4/#findComment-1191664

It seems like the amount of commercial time dedicated to movie trailers is at an all-time high. I realize the target audience for the NBA playoffs (young males) is exactly the same as the audience for blockbuster summer movies, but this is crazy.

In the promo they had the “In A World” guy hyping the upcoming episodes, the promo also had specifically selected clips and sound bites from those episodes such as Marlo Thomas saying “My Little Girl” as she hugs Rachel or the drippy dialogue from Ross to Rachel about future parenthood, but the topper of this promo is that during the it Enya’s "Only Time" is screeching through enitre thing.
