Earthling. Wouldn't be if I had it my way. Crazy music addict. Rocker by birth, classical musician by training. Lover of pretty much everything in between. Cosplayer for fun. Make up addict. Book addict. I started when I was five with The Hobbit and never stopped. I've been to Eru, and to Dune, and to Hogwarts, and to Krynn more times than I care to count. I solved cases with Sherlock Holmes and Watson, with Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs, with Miss Marple and Poirot, with Temperance Brennan and Kay Scarpetta, and with all the good ones. I've traveled 10000 Legues Under The Sea, and I've seen the picture of Dorian Gray. And all the good stuff. I even fought zombies with Leon Kennedy, and the Redfields, and Jill Valentine... Yeah, I even read the Resident Evil books, that' how in love with Resident Evil I am. Which brings me to the next step. I'm a Nerd since childhood, when it definitively wasn't cool. I spend way too many hours playing and replaying Mass Effect. I'm a Whovian Trekkie who loves everything Star Wars. My first tv memory is Luke Skywalker and C3PO landing on Dagobaa looking for Master Yoda. The first tv show I followed was Star Trek classic series. I watch way too many tv shows, and not nearly enough. I am travel addict with not enough money to keep up the habit. Italian by birth, British by heart, Finnish by adoption. I'm less friendly than you could think. More than you could guess. I am a dreamy-head. I think too much. I don't reason enough. And I really have a gift for rambling on, and on, and on, and on... And before I forget. I did the Time Warp again.
I would like to remind all you Drive To Survive fans that Ferrari is BY FAR the team with most world championship wins. If you combine both Builders and Drivers they pretty much double up the closest team, which is Williams. And unlike Williams Ferrari never fell on hard times money wise.
Every F1 with a history worth noting has had high and lows. Ferrari itself was a gamble for Schumacher, no championships for decades, and yet look at what Schumacher achieved with the team.
But go ahead acting like Hamilton left Merc for Haas after hitting his head falling from a chair blacked out drunk in a dingy pub.
Everyone is a Ferrari fan. Even if they say they're not, they're Ferrari fans. Even if you go to the Mercedes guys and they say "Mercedes is the best brand in the world", they are Ferrari fans.
Say whatever you like about the yu yu hakusho live action, but in those 5 episodes I saw a labor of love from a team of people who probably grew up watching and reading yu yu hakusho.
It is so plain to me that the folks who worked on it loved the original story, and they did a fucking great job. I saw it in all the little details, and in the way they threaded together the different plots to achieve the same themes and emotional beats.
Yu yu hakusho is a story so close to my heart, and it got me through so much. Watching the live action felt like a love letter from one fan to another.
If you'll excuse me I have to go watch it 300 more times. Kisses 💋
Questa è una Dipladenia. Dovrebbe fiorire da maggio a tardo autunno. Siamo al 14 di gennaio, sta fiorendo e vegetando. Ma il riscaldamento globale non esiste. https://www.instagram.com/p/CnZPYrGMyh1EgKAixi0HzfgHYgExkq3XsF64Ps0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
I think at least part of this is that pop culture has gotten such a longer shelf life over the past 20 years.
You can listen to a Top 40 station now and hear a song from 10 years ago easily, even songs from the 80s or 90s on special occasions (which might just be the Nineties at Noon or whatever every single day).
A Top 40 station in the 80s? Played the current fucking Top 40 and that was it. You were lucky if you heard a song that was one year old, definitely never ten. I was born in 1979 and heard almost no music from before I was born until high school or college. If you wanted to hear anything older than a year, you had to listen to a classic rock (late 60s to 70s) or oldies (50s to early 60s) station. There was nothing earlier than that on the radio.
A restaurant was playing What a Feeling, from 1983. 28 years before my son was born. That’s the equivalent of hearing a song from 1951 in the late 80s, which just did not happen. Even for an oldies station, it was hard to find anything that old.
VCRs were just getting big in the mid-80s, but there was a limited selection of videos you could buy (or even rent) for them. Most video rental stores didn’t bother to stock TV shows, it just wasn’t worth it. (Few shows were even released on VHS.)
So you could generally watch recent movies and “classics” but if you were looking for some random movie from the mid-70s - that’s only ten years previous - you were mostly out of luck. Imagine looking for a movie from 2006 right now, and you can find maybe the top-grossing ones and a few that won Oscars, but Night at the Museum? The Devil Wears Prada? You’re shit outta luck. That’s what it would have been like looking for movies from 1976 in 1989.
So for those of us who grew up in the 80s and early 90s, pop culture had a hard limit of about a decade, if that. By the late 90s, the internet was good enough that music was starting to stretch that, but you still couldn’t really get video through the internet and DVDs were still catching up in terms of what was available. You didn’t really get entire seasons of TV on DVD until the early 00s - the first season of The Simpsons, which aired in 1989, wasn’t released on DVD until 2001.
Anyhow, I think that’s why a lot of older millennials and Gen Xers are having trouble wrapping our heads around the idea that the year 2000 was almost 20 years ago. Because we grew up in a world where if you heard a song regularly, or watched a movie or a TV show that wasn’t late-night reruns, it had probably been released within the past 5 years, and almost definitely within the past 20. Our brains haven’t quite gotten used to hearing a new song followed by a 30-year-old song on the radio and not just being able to find any decade-old movie at will but seeing gifs of decade-old movies almost daily. Our brains think that means those things must still be new.
radio stations are still doing the “playing the 80s, 90s, and NOW” thing they were doing when i was a teenager, despite the fact that NOW currently extends past 20 years
