We live in a very normal society that treats age healthily.
dating yourself with this reference i fear, my latchkey owl
People who were thirty when logans run came out are 80 years old now
it was constantly on tv though, for some reason. like, multiple times a year. for a long time.
I first saw it in 2010 lol
Then again I’ve always loved cheesy old movies
(I knew someone was going to needle me for it when I made this post lol)
i think i first saw it on the scifi channel in 1998 or so. around the same time i saw dune (the funny one).
its actually the best dune imo
There’s a funny old Dune?! I HAVE TO SEE THIS!
Is that fucking Patrick Stuart firing a gun while clutching a pug? I am so in.
I’ve never seen it. Our reruns were jumanji and the back to the future series (feels like every other weeknd was one or the other). I’ve never seen logans run but only know of it mostly through boonta vista bits and the Jude Law Scarjo movie The Island which is a spiritual successor, I think?
who said anything about them being 30 when Logan’s Run came out they could have been 5 and it would still be dating themselves
I didn’t really think before posting, I was going for a ‘this is xxxx now, now do you feel old’ kinda thing and I actually typed something close to the actual age, even when I was trying to go for a gross overestimation (i didn’t realise logans run was so old) so I had to course correct during the ninja edit window to the actual age that someone who was thirty when the movie came out would be now
Did you know the Teletubbies sun baby has kids now
FEEL OOOOOOOLD YEEEEEET?!
Yes
i had to explain to a newbie at dance practice the other day what the y2k crisis was
there there. The point of my post was that being over 30 shouldn’t be treated as a bad thing.
It might not seem like it because I’m a giant mess, but I would hate to lose the progress I’ve made as a person. I was even more of a loser when I was younger than I am now, some how that’s possible!
Yay progress! Nah it’s all g dw I’m not bummed. We should interrogate and expel the ageism that we impose upon ourselves and hangups about aging, and one of the first ways to do so is to examine and reconcile our own fears about getting old, then extend the same courtesy (is that the best word…?) to others.
Fwiw on a related topic, I get into frequent disagreements with relatives about generational discourse (partly informed by your efforts here) about how arbitrary age markers are artificial divisions that are infinitely less useful as a demographic or analytical tool compared to race, or class, or gender yet they insist ‘all gen alpha are like this’ or ‘all boomers are like that’ as though it’s the primary meaningful distinction. It pits me against the younguns and the oldies on both sides during these debates, but I’m used to copping flak so I don’t mind.
No pressure to reply to my comment above, cos I’ve waffled a bit, just getting thoughts out of my brian into text.
Pretending to be 80 years old might be a fun bit though…
I’m pretty sure 38 is 80 in owl years. It’s parrots that are at a 1-to-1 ratio.
Not 38, but honestly close enough lol
Still should be dead for an owl. Wtf how am I still alive?
Just having too much fun to die yet I guess
Reminds me of a joke I heard somewhere that was like “In anime everyone either looks 16 or 60”
Dort consumption extends your lifespan probably.
Hmm yesss precious dort
Logans got the runs
Logans Run came out long before I was born, I’ve just seen a lot of old movies.
I mean, not trying to call myself young either. I’m old, just mid 30s old not mid 50s old lol
After a long life of using the teleporter hologram for sex, I must now willingly sacrifice myself, or the appointed goons will come after me and zap me with a mysterious and deadly laser. Instead I will go out of this machine with my fwb and we will live in the kudzu jungle.
right, right. guess someone needs to come around and Obliterate me?
I never got a thingy can i use yours? I yearn to be vapour
Just grab my feet bro
They’re very sharp…
I call them my cuddle knives
Now this is shitposting.
This film’s synopsis sounds like the most boomer-brained premise. Why was Basil Exposition attempting a serious role?
Is the film at least so bad it’s good?
This film’s synopsis sounds like the most boomer-brained premise.
Funny you should say that. Apparently it’s supposed to be a critique on the baby boomers obsession with youth.
It is a very goofy movie with hammy acting.
The best part is Basil Exposition and his gf escape and meet an old man who lives with 500 cats
The cut off is closer to 22 tbh. After that you’re legally allowed to drink and thus it becomes uncool and you’re also out of school.
Nah it’s after you leave the womb. Shit goes downhill from there/s
Release the all babies cut of Logan’s Run.
So much for being too cool for school.
