I think that the only real thing about watching movies, and listening to music, is the connection felt to others who are watching, and listening to, the same things. Monet's movies were as otherwise junky at the time, but, to bother with them now is like burying oneself in a very deep hole. A very lonely existence for the sake of pretending to be a big fish in a very small pond.

If you don't want to watch, or listen, to today's stuff, then just turn the television, internet, or whatever, off, and, set about doing your own stuff now that connects to the now. I did, except for a commercial free internet radio channel that plays only one genre of music that spans all types of music over the generations. Very simple, and relaxing, and, something in the background while I work away at other stuff.
