Raising Standards

My parents are watching Transformers 2 : Revenge of the Fallen
(as usual, my father bought another version - ended up getting crap quality... lol but oh well.. what do you expect with a couple of dollars? Haha I am not hinting anything ;) )

Watched snippets of that uber cool show
seriously, second time and I am still dumbstruck by the superb 3d graphics and animation..
which leads me to this post

Do you realise our standards for graphics have skyrocketed in the past few years. With the introduction of CG-technology into films in the beginning of the 21st Century, we have seen an increasing number of films utilising such graphics and stretching the limits of computer animation. Every new blockbuster show will certainly emphasise on the new technological barriers broken during the production of the film - Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and recently Transformers, not to mention all your new horror flicks powered by your dear animators.
*oh man the robot morphling is so darn cool and sleek*
*oh gawd look at the freaking gazillion armies of Mordor*
*wow cool spells and effects*

But do you realise that with each new show, our expectations are pushed further and further? Like now we expect alot of computer graphics in our shows, and that the animation should be on epic proportions. Oh well, but then again, should we lower our standards? I don't think so :) besides we are paying a hefty $6 to watch in the cinema.

Think about this, and link this to our life.
Our parents keep saying how lucky our lives are these days, with a relatively high standard of living and ... yea you know what we mean.. but we keep putting them down, saying how life sucks and school is boring and bla bla bla (put rant here)
So should we stop our ranting, because we are technically "supposed to be glad of the increased comforts in our lifes"?
Or treat life like how we treat each movie before we watch it - supposed to be better and better each day...
