Taking Selfies at an ISIS Murder Site - and James Whitmore's opinion

Millennials are among the biggest douchebags on the planet.

Here's a douchebag with his Selfie stick, happily posing with two giggling sluts at the VERY SITE of a bloody, murderous assault.

Yes, just a day before, a Muslim religious fanatic strolled that beach, firing his automatic weapon at unarmed, half-naked people lying around on the beach.

Ha ha, ho ho, hee hee, "Here we are, enjoying that very same beach, and WE HAVE A SOUVENIR and YOU don't! We're rich and we are enjoying ourselves!"

Isolated incident?

Of course not. It's happening constantly now. A building collapses, people are killed, and Millennial assholes run to get selfies in front of the carnage. They post it cheerfully on Twatter and Farcebook.

People shoot animals...everything from a house cat to a rhino, and they instantly grin and pose for their SELFIE. And their favorite entertainment is looking at the SELFIES from their heroes, like Viley Virus and Kim Kuntrashian.

Today I happened to check around the Net looking for an interview with James Whitmore. Why? Because I got to wondering how he felt about some the "outsider" movies he made ("Face of Fire" and "Black Like Me") as well as the one-man show in which he played heroic American icons such as Harry Truman and Will Rogers. I found an interview he did at a memorabilia convention.

Well, it's nice when one of these idiot conventions does something besides have a star pose for pictures at $20 each. Whitmore was invited to do a 45 minute Q&A session for the movie buffs.

Sadly, this rather pathetic event from the year 2000, held in North Carolina of all places, wasn't that well attended. Periodically you can see redneck crackers from the hotel wandering in the background, going off to piss in the swimming pool or go eat pancakes or something. But a few of the starstruck geeks asked him some good questions. One question was, "How has Hollywood changed over the years?"

Here's his far-reaching response:

"We've all changed. The arts reflect the society. We're all so fixated on those boxes (television sets) we sit around. I don't know how bad it is, but I don't think it's good. We've got to talk to each other more. Now we've got the Internet, and the personal computers. I think we've got to look to each other for whatever we're looking for in life. I just believe that profoundly. It's amazing how much of our lives are influenced by images on a screen instead of the images that are right in front of us; namely our wives, children and friends."

That was 2000. That was before ISIS. Before Twatter or Farcebook. He recognized the danger early on. And I doubt there's a Millennial that would recognize his face, or would even recognize a photo of Will Rogers or Harry Truman. I doubt there's a Millennial that could name a single James Whitmore film or say they saw him on TV. Maybe they might've seen him in "Them," the sci-fi 50's movie in which he battled giant ants, but I doubt it, because Millennials don't care about old horror films, only shit like "Game of Toilets" and stupid "Friday the 13th" movies.

In other words, if he was alive today, nobody would be rushing up with a Selfie Stick saying, "Excuse me, can I get a picture with you?"
