Yeah, well, I’m farther away from my birth than I am from the moon landing.
It’s possible, but the vast majority of kids who saw Brave have parents who were already in their late teens or twentysomething when Toy Story came out.
(sigh) My husband watches the TV program guide and calls out to me, “such and such movie is on, it was made in 1982!” We just saw that at the theater! Movies we ran out to see, that were sold out, like Rocky II, are on cable on a regular basis. TCM, for cryin’ out loud, is showing “oldies” I’ve seen in the movie theater! What I want to know is, where did those decades GO and why so FAST?
It’s like I made a snapshot of who all the celebrities were 25 or 30 years ago, and now Katharine Hepburn and Jimmy Stewart and Paul Newman are dead and Sylvester Stallone and Michelle Pfeiffer and Tom Hanks are seriously middle-aged and all these young punks like Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon are the movie stars.
It’s chaos, I tell you!
I was watching The Three Stooges last night (don’t judge me) and I was shocked by Brian Doyle-Murray. He’s not that big a star so he can drop out of sight for a while. But I remember him in Caddyshack and Groundhog Day and Get a Life. So it was a shock to see him looking like this.
The worst thing though is the supermarket tabloids these days. I have no. freakin. idea. who these people are. Except the select few who are the children of people I’ve heard of before.
The release of the movie The Sting is further back in time from now than the year in which the story is set was from the movie.
Bonnie and Clyde is more distant from us now than the real Bonnie and Clyde were to the film.
Remember the Dream Team’s gold-medal win at the Olympics?
Kids who weren’t yet born are now playing pro basketball in the NBA.
The Powerpuff Girls are shown on Boomerang (the “nostalgia cartoons” channel).
I go into Hot Topic, and the “retro” t-shirts are starting to be not the things I loved, but the things that were “kids’ stuff” when I was a teenager. Pretty soon, they’ll be nothing I recognize there. 
How about the little girl from My Girl now plays Julia Lousie-Dreyfus’s 30-something chief of staff on HBO’s Veep? I’m still wrapping my brain around the fact that “Elaine” from Seinfield is now in her early 50s.
My cousin who is 6 months younger than I am has a child graduating high school this year. I have no idea how she got so old.
You want to feel even older? The people born three years before and three years after The Graduate was released are now in the age group Mrs. Robinson was in the movie–and are more likely to identify with her character than Benjamin and Elaine.
I’m sure many comic book fans on this board can relate to something like this: The point in the 1970s when I first read Superman comics is closer in time to the creation of the Superman character than it is to today.
Also, next year the show Miami Vice celebrates its 30th year anniversary.
30th anniversary - sorry for the redundancy
