    One of my genuinely conservative beliefs is that it's important to acquire a taste for art created before you were born.https://twitter.com/robpalkwriter/status/1361640883741986817 …

        To be clear, I don't want to mock people who don't like old movies, old books, old music etc. I understand where they are coming from . Anything old requires work to appreciate. I just insist that the rewards for doing that work are immense & people should be encouraged to do it

        The Third Man is one of my favorite movies. That guy’s just a dolt

        The very idea is frightening; in my case, 1980 is a sort of unofficial cutoff date where I consume relatively less art after that date, not more

        How is this a “conservative” belief at all?

        fellas, is it conservative to enjoy most of human history?

        You shouldn't be allowed to ever talk about cinema if you have a "never watch films from the golden age" rule

        This is so. Well you're allowed. But your opinions won't be worth much.

        I really have genuine contempt for people that make these sort of pronouncements. There's no reason to that art will improve with technology and it often does not.
