The Last Crusade is better than Raiders though.

Just watched it again to confirm my initial take that this is horseshit: I was right. Raiders is so much better it’s not true. Better villains, better love interest, better music, better action set pieces and the Ark, front and centre with it’s spooky theme and sense of otherworldly power vs a cup of Alka Seltzer that appears in the last five minutes of the movie.

As Don says in Mad Men, advertising consists mostly of telling people that whatever they’re doing is ok. No need to worry. Everything is fine. This kind of advertising works on everyone, because it’s just reinforcing stuff you already believed anyway.

Well today I just figured out I'm "culturally isolated," according to that article. I know the song; my little brother was big into Eminem back in the '00s, but I was completely unaware of the wider meaning until now. I've never seen that word used that way. :psyduck:

I’ve only paid attention to it’s use recently, having seen it pop up very often in the last six months or so. I am not culturally isolated, nor do I believe this is a youth thing, since the current crop of teenagers weren’t even born when it came out. Middle aged people must have more sway than I thought?

There must be a lot of cool poo poo dating from way back if they were doing that then.

There’s a swirly pattern table with a reflective tube that stands in the middle that shows the face of the king (Charles II?) in the surface. Can’t remember where I saw it though.

It was awhile ago, but one time it occured to me that I hated "the boys" and everything they stood for.

Agreed, but “The boys, an outmoded symbol of masculine bonding and herd mentality who all need two in the back of the loving head to prevent the further degradation if the gene pool, are back in town” is a lot less catchy.

Also since we're on the subject, blue raspberry exists because they used to color raspberry flavored things with Amaranth (not the Twitch streamer) which got linked to cancer in the late 60s and was eventually banned.

There must be more than one kind, because I’ve had red amaranth as a micro salad, and Wikipedia says people have eaten it for thousands of years and doesn’t mention anything about ill effects.
