If You Were Born This Year You're Considered Old

Them 2 fine ass women who said decades prior to the 80s must’ve knew I’d be watching

Children will say middle aged ppl. Middle aged ppl will say ppl who are a 10-15 years from their average life span.

But I think its a mix of age, health and personality. I've met old 35 year olds. Straight status. I'm 35 year old and ppl are suprised when I reveal my age. I'm almost more fit than the 20 year olds I work with.

I remember when I went to go see Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, I was sitting next to a dad and his son, and during the scene where the turtles are watching Ferris Bueller’s Day Off in Central Park, the following convo happened between them:
____
LITTLE KID: “Dad, what movie are they watching?”
DAD: “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. It’s a movie that came out in the 80s’ when I was little.”
LITTLE KID: “Oooohh. So it’s an old people movie then.”
ME: *listening to the convo* … ……
_____
I hope the dad took the little a$$hole home and taught him how to respect his elders and the arts.

Damn. Big was one of my favorites too. It doesn’t really surprise me though. If a movie these days isn’t animated, doesn’t have a CGI character, or a superhero in it, the kid’s either on their phone or asleep. A film like Big would’ve sadly flopped today—same with Ferris Bueller. I don’t even think The Goonies or Home Alone would do well in this day and age. We were raised on storytelling and soul, with the occasional franchise film sprinkled in—not one dropping every other weekend.

And honestly, it’s not all the audiences’ fault—Hollywood kind of did it to themselves.
