Making my first post in 10 years to say welcome to the forums, Harvey!

I’ve seen some guys in prison make electric guitars and stuff like that. Did you ever have any musicians or particularly good singers around in there?

The thing about most movies is that they exist within a specific context, and a window of time, even subjectivity aside. Something might have been an amazing movie for you when you saw it, but had you seen it 10 years later instead you might have hated it.

We tend to remember the movies as we experienced them in the time and context the first time, and if we're lucky we might get to keep that context internally on future watchings, but largely you'll go back and realize that it isn't as good as it felt originally.

So if I see someone who doesn't like starship troopers, a film that *largely at least* holds up fairly well, I feel inclined to chalk that up to having experienced it much later than most people.

But I challenge anyone to go back and actually watch movies they enjoyed 20 years ago with fresh eyes, perhaps with someone who hasn't seen it. It can be disheartening if it's something near and dear to you, but a lot of the stuff we grew up loving was only good because of the set and setting it was initially presented in.


This concludes my Ted talk: your favorite movie is probably bad, and why that's okay

This is interesting^

Perhaps the mark of a truly "great" movie is one that holds up 20 or 30 years later when you are, due to life experiences, a very different person in a very different place yrt the movie is still enthralling.

Examples: The Thing, Aliens 1 and 2, Terminator 1 and 2

all still absolutely worth watching

Oh
On May 26 I think it was I decided Harvey was Bust Rodd after I looked up the thread he made about his convict brother who got out.

Lots of similarities. Here's that thread

I thought cousin Todd was a little too on the nose though, and was surprised no one had said anything

I'm not gonna hold a grudge

It was obvious that you have a ton of inside knowledge about prison life, everything being salty on the outside rang immediately true for me for example

Did you get scared when it went so viral on Twitter? I would have been.

What prompted the reveal?

Yes I mentioned this but when it hit Twitter he got anxious. It was mostly good vibes there though so he calmed down.

He can say more about this if he wants, but he just didn't want to use this forum or format to talk about it any longer. I think he said something like "I don't know man, I think we should end this, how about making a post explaining and thanking people for their help."
I was posting to you not him :)
