Yeah I had an observation in the back of my head about how he romanticized Generation X because he lived in abundance, whereas my take on Generation X was "welcome to Thunderdome, bitch" because I did not. But realistically, the whole schtick is "we were promised abundance and instead we live in scarcity" which definitely sucks? But at some point you need to put on your problem-solving cap and I think there's a lot of people whose problems have always been solved by their parents. And your parents can't bring the malls back. So... there's actually a point here. It's not the point he wants to make so he didn't, but fundamentally, ratings in the '80s hinged largely on how much violence was in them, not how much nudity. Blade Runner is a PG with two boobs, Total Recall is a hard R with three. Andromeda Strain is rated G, fer chrissake, because nobody cusses and nobody shoots anyone else. What happened, fundamentally, is the 'boomers took over and started protecting everyone else's children from tits. Now? Now you can show someone blowing someone else's head off in close-up and get a PG-13 but the minute an aureola shows up it's an R.What in the cis-hetero-patriarchal bullshit is this?
I'm sorry but, in context, it's an amazing typo.aureola
