Is it really about to be 2024? I’ll be fifty next year.
Movies that I feel like just came out are now 25 years old.
My kids see a thermometer in a movie and don’t know what it is.
Prices are ridiculous.
I don’t mean to be complain...it’s just strange!
I remember showing Poltergeist to my then-teenage nephew back in 2017, and having to explain the concept of TV networks signing off for their broadcast day around midnight and showing nothing but static in the wee hours.
It's been two years longer since now to the release of The Phantom Menace in '99 than between the release of that film and the original Star Wars.
I'm reading a paperback version of Jack Finney's "The Body Snatchers," which as we all know is the basis for all movie versions of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers." This paperback was released to tie in with the Philip Kaufman version in 1978 - it has the movie poster on the cover.
This original novel was published in 1954, and as I was looking at it the other day, I had the thought, "interesting that they'd re-issue such an old book to go with a modern movie."
But of course the book was only 23 years old when they started filming, while the Kaufman movie is now 45 years old.
It staggers the imagination.
