Buffy ,'Same Time, Same Place'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
You're no longer young! One of us, one of us. Join us in achey backs and out-of-it-ness, and "You call that music!" and pathetic nostalgia for the crap pop culture of your preteen years. Bwahahahaha!
Someone better find me a really elegant silver-topped walking stick for my next birthday. IJS.
There's a half-plus-seven rule?
And here I was worried that my current musical crush objects are a decade younger than me.

My pre-teen years?
My PN has all been for the crap I hated in 1992/93.
This list: [link] is where the Samuel L "quote" came from.
My personal favorite: "Feel the Force, motherfucker."
Kids these days are already on top of the pathetic nostalgia. In fact, I think hanging out with them kickstarted mine. Nothing like having a seventeen year old say "You've never heard Hendrix on vinyl????" to get you going.
It's not the rule-makers I look askance at, it's the blind rule-followers. AH shows up heartbroken, newly single, and in need of comfort at your doorstep, and you whip out your ... calculator?
Heh. It's a general rule. I have no problem entertaining the fact of dating people over the age of thirty OR people under the age of eighteen, the limits of my half-plus-seven, but I'd still generally call most 31-year-olds "too old for me" and most 17-year-olds "too young for me." But, yeah, if AH showed up looking for comfort I'd probably whip out... well, probably my handcuffs, based on her Maxim interview.

Hence that song about 80s nostalgia aimed at current teens.
There's a college that does "Mindset Lists" for each year's incoming freshman class. The worldview of those born in 1985 and 1986.
Scary, isn't it?
How old IS Alyson Hannigan anyway. I realized that I thought she was over 5 years younger than I (like 24 or 25), but D. Griswold's comments make me think she is just about my age. As is Leonardo DiCaprio.
I think that I think I am the same age as all the people playing teenagers when I was young (like Molly Ringwald and Rob Lowe) when in reality they are like 10 - 15 years older than me.
I am the same age as everyone but the very old and the very young. Sometimes it's confusing, but it makes dating simple.
Or would, if I did.
You should. Because everyone ought to do so. When you rent it, make sure you get the version titled "Leon" instead, for the extra-disturbing extra 20 minutes.
Yes. Absolutely.
I liked Natalie Portman in Garden State. She can emote. I've seen it happen. I haven't seen Closer yet, but I don't know if I'd like that better than GS.
I still have yet to see Kingdom of Heaven. And now there's RotS to see. My babysitter needs to clear up her schedule.
