'Selfless'
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.
I was born in 1973, and I am flea. Except I loved Wonder Woman EVEN MORE than the Wonder Twins.
Without all y'all my biggest exposure to comics would be Archie and Jughead.
ETA: Vonnie is younger than I thought. The Iran hostage crisis is amoung my first memories.
Nah, I'm older than you are. Born in 1970. But I was living in Korea and we only had like 2 TV stations then and very limited access to news around the world, and had our own political crap raining down on our heads (also, I had my head stuck in a book too often to pay attention to the news most of the time.)
I remember watching the Vietnam war on the news and having no idea what it was about. I remember when a teacher told us the war was over, and another kid in my class said, "Good, now we can have another one."
Wait, moveis? Oh yeah, Argo looks cool.
I feel old, I graduated from high school in '73. I was only 17 at the time, but still...old.
I was born in 1972 and never read comics. I knew the Adam West Batman (in reruns), watched Wonder Woman with Lynda Carter, saw Superman, and remember Superfriends on '80s Saturday cartoons (I liked the Wonder Twins). I had never heard of Iron Man until the recent movie, and had only the vaguest notions of Thor and Captain America. (Hulk, a little harder to miss.) And I'd consider myself comics-adjacent thanks to many of you.
I was born in 1964, but flea's experience is pretty much mine, except I loathed the Wonder Twins. And I watched The Incredible Hulk because I thought Bill Bixby was cute. I had a vague knowledge that Captain America existed, but had no idea they were still writing comics about him until recently.
Which makes me wander off to Wikipedia, since I want to know when they latched onto this whole "sleep until the future" thing.
I thought Bill Bixby was cute
The Courtship of Eddie's Father. SWOON.

Yes!
I can still sing that song.
I was so shocked when he gamma radiation got him though.
Hee.
I loved that show too.
And there was an actual Japanese person in the show.
