tbh i dont know if 2 grand is accurate, i just remember them telling me decades later, and it was an insane amount of money for a used vcr. i wanna say it was definitely more than 500 usd though. maybe my year is off?

if you were thinking about watching wandavision i would probably hold off until the entire season is out to see if they do anything interesting with it. they successfully recreated 50s sitcom tropes to the point that its as boring as 50s sitcoms.

you've never seen dredd? gently caress is it good

it was the last movie I saw in theaters with my dad before my parents moved to the east coast. I wish we could have seen fury road

this reminded me that I saw fury road on a hot summer day and after leaving the theater a huge storm had passed and everything was drenched in water. fit perfect to the film the same way as when i saw jurassic park at a drive-in and it rained during the movie

the thing i remember most from 90s sitcoms is smokin hot ladies married to absolute trashpiles

honeymooners is a master class in simple sitcom design and its a testament to the show and indictment of television that the formula works 70 years on

rotor posted:

also the last episode of Newhart was loving amazing

god Newhart was just great tv

agreed. i think they tried to head this off with a two episode premiere, because that first is almost a pure homage

i appreciated the i dream of jeannie/bewitched style credits on the second episode opening

I've said it before, but Homer Simpson was a boomer when the show first aired. At forever-35, now he's a millennial.
