If ya don't like it, don't listen to it anymore. Don't watch it anymore.
Forget the new stuff exists and fail to realize sometimes people just get older, less innovative, less whatever.
Some of that earlier Scorsese stuff is tough to beat. I personally find it inspirational when older people are still creating something, even if I don't happen to dig the new as much as the old. Think Pharoah Sanders...think Ridley Scott....I'll always check out whatever they do, even if my hopes aren't tooooo high. We're talking about peeps that have little else to prove.
Just, my take. Take it...or flush it.

Hmmmmm.....
I always hope that the Greats have the good sense to know when it's time to quit. (Hello Rolling Stones, Woody Allen, Tom Pynchon.) It's just so painful when they think their latest shit work is great. I don't want
something/anything.
