Major breakthrough last night. I have a friend who is a crazy movie /TV series person. 300 steel case Blu ray with bonus editing room floor clippings edition + hundreds of regular blue ray bought in two years.

He refuses to watch anything old, pre 1990 is the rough cutoff line.

Last night he deemed nothing watchable on HBO max and I said let's watch blade runner. He called and went all in with 2001. I had to walk that back because while 2001 is an epic movie, I couldn't chance it back firing on me. So we watched the other, not quite as slow moving, Sci fi opus.

It was deemed good. And progress was made.

He watches *nothing* from before 1990? Is this guy only a sci fi/blockbuster kind of watcher? Like, there are a mind boggling array of great movies from before 1990.

Just curious, what is their Mt. Rushmore of movies? I'm curious what they consider their favorites if the cutoff is 1990. It would also give us a feel of their tastes, though if they were interested in 2001: A Space Oddyssey & Blade Rhnner, I'm guessing heavy on the sci-fix.

Before I forget, the most obvious question: which version of Blade Runner did y'all watch? Have they seen Blade Runner 2049?

My youngest sister, who was born in 1990, is very much the same way. The only "old" movie she'll watch is the drill camp parts of Full Metal Jacket.

Her favorite movies are SWAT (the Samuel L Jackson adaptation of the TV show from like 2000), Catwoman and Seabiscuit, and she thinks the Twilight movies depict the ideal of sane, healthy romance.

This is the same sister who announced at a family dinner, a few days after we had buried my sperm donor, that she was joining the Air Guard because she wanted "to help kill Muslims" (except she used a slur and didn't say Muslims). Ain't family great?

I'm sure you've heard of American Exceptionalism, the ideology that America is inherently different and by definition better than all other nations?

Apply that label to Texas in specific as opposed to America in general, crank that poo poo, along with a ridiculous helping of "that could never happen here, it has to be a hoax of some sort," up to 11, and ... yeah, that's the mindset of large swathes of the state.

I think the, massively flawed logic, is that there is just so much coming out now that there isn't time to watch the classics. He really doesn't have a genre but if I had to pick it would be sci-fi. He's big into starwars. This is a guy that would go to the movies at least once a week to watch a movie. Doesn't matter what it was, only that it was a movie. This is what happens when a person stops their drug of choice. He replaced heroin with movies. I replaced alcohol with shitposting.

Give me final cut or give me death. Yes, they saw 2049 so I had to kinda explain they mysteries that og BR left unanswered that were answered in 2049. Deckard is a replicant. Gaff knows everything.

Ok that makes some sense. Getting overwhelmed with choice can get you locked into a weird pattern & that cutoff point (as arbitrary as it seems) has more context

On a similar note I haven't seen that much television, and I think it really started around 1995 when I went to college & didn't have a TV in my dorm that 1st year. Means I missed out on Buffy and that era of Star Trek, and it kind of snowballed from there. Now there's so much television and many people/critics are saying "This is must watch!" (even in this thread) that it gets overwhelming. Hell, I'm barely into season 2 of The Wire and I tried starting the series literally one year ago.

I realize now the only things I watch on TV right now are sports and Bob's Burgers, and even then the latter is usually recorded. Everything else is streamed (like Disney+ and HBO), and now I'm trying to resist the temptation to sign up for AMC just to finish American Gods.
