TV has gotten better, but its not because of technology, its because the scripts have become far better. In the end thats what makes or breaks movies.

Depends where you draw the line.

Counting every game with a MetaScore of 85% or better, we get over 100 games the last years (many of them small indie games).

Counting every game with a MetaScore of 90% or better, we got 30 - 40 games in the early 2000's and only 15 - 20 games since 2014:

Except those are all high profile titles that did well.

Blade Runner isn't a remake, but for me it also didn't best the original.  The acting is a little better though.

Haha ya, I did. And if I was that young right now, playing some of the current games coming out, I'd exploding with just as much joy for those. It's pretty hard to get excited about anything as much as I did in my early teens.

Maybe those things are superfluous to you, but they're definitely not to most people. Movie going is, and always has been, an experience. All those things you call superfluous matter. 

You seem to be really caught up on Marvel movies, and Jurassic World. This is the second time you've mentioned them already. Tell me, is there a reason you don't want to talk any recent quality movies like Dunkirk, Three Billboards, Get Out, etc? No, please tell me about how Hollywood cashing in on some remakes of classic movies aren't as good the original. That's weird. People usually never think the originals of anything are better than the lazy offspring they eventually spawn at some point down the line. But by all means, lets use those, and other formulaic blockbusters, to denigrate todays movie makers as a whole. And while we're at it, lets talk down at anybody who might dare enjoy any of those movies. What simpletons they are. Don't they know how much better Godfather was than anything else ever? Don't let the fact that something like the Lord of the Rings trilogy wasn't even remotely achievable back in your personal so called golden age of movies distract you from the how incredibly right you're obviously not

I was thinking about this recently actually, and what period I considered to be the golden age was from the 4th to 6th gen. 4th gen was home to many excellent games that are still loved today, and companies like Square and Capcom were seen as top companies, which any game with their logos on them was almost always guaranteed excellence. 5th and 6th gen also had many excellent and loved games from both old and new faces along the the birth of many new interesting IPs.

7th gen however was then that line of excellence sort of fell off and felt like a sort of reset for many companies as they tried to make games bigger and bolder than before. Gaming has been getting better once again, but companies like Capcom and Sqaure are still shadows of their former selves.

Off topic, I apologize.

This reminded me of an elderly gentleman (roughly 80 years old) I met a few years ago.  He had a stroke, and his doctor recommended video games as part of his rehab.  The thinking was that it would help improve his motor skills.  Fast forward a couple years, and the dude has an ultra-wide beast gaming PC setup, and spends half of his life playing Call of Duty and Battlefield.  I thought it was a pretty cool story.  

I think gaming had a bit of a dull period between 2008 and 2014, but now things seem to be picking up again. (Which is not to say nothing good came out in that period) this generation is shaping up to be a vast improvement over the last one if you ask me, which is weird considering how weak things started in 2014

No.

Japanese companies are the most consistent. I mean that in a bad way.

Golden age has to be the 6th gen still. PS2/GBA was a monster combo, but 1990 - 2006, any frame in there I would except as golden age.
