A page from the history books:



Awesome. :lol: And, actually, so true in a sense.  Sound film is kind of kitsch compared to silent, the earliest sound films did indeed tend to be garbage, and it did kill a perfectly good artform.

Yeah, early sound films are miles behind the levels of artistic accomplishment of late silent films, but they improved eventually.

Tried watching The Intern.  Pretty vacuous. And the start up's business model is apparently the founders amazing ability to "describe the fit" of clothes.  WTF?

You're not a Millennial. Go back to your dial-up CompuServe BBS, old man.

But yes, it was quite vacuous.

As a millennial I'd agree that that is a money maker. No one buys clothes in shops anymore and it's just annoying to have to send stuff back because it doesn't fit.

Why aren't all size 43 shoes the same goddamn size? WHY?!?

You're a millennial?  :huh:

I always thought I was a Generation Y but lately that expression isn't much used.

I remember a lecture where a baby boomer told us we belonged to Generation Y The Fuck. He chuckled.

Yeah I miss it too.  There was a cool canadian board where we discussed Quebec seperation.  Good times.

October 31 1995 must have been a spirited day on that board.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017
