The Good Old Days
It's amazing how nostalgic movies can be. Cami and I have been sorting through some old bins of VHS cassettes of movies/TV shows we taped off TV, getting rid of what we can buy (extremely cheaply, especially since they're older movies, and especially since the emergence of Blu Ray) on DVD. Now that some of those DVDs have arrived, we'd been watching them, many of which I haven't seen since I was about twelve years old. Even the really bad quality ones are enjoyable, in a vicarious "I used to love this" way. But it also feels strangely like the death of an old friend when it's not quite so magical now. And then, of course, there are the Disney movies that had jokes in them that you never really got until now. ^^
It's pretty funny remembering the parts of a movie that used to be terrifying to you when you were younger. (The Ice Monster from Star Wars? Freaked. Me. Out.) What's also funny is realizing that videos/audio tapes are already looked upon as Ancient History. "In MY day, we had to rewind our movies..."
I don't like all this Facebook/social networking stuff, I don't text, and I remember when the only option was video tapes. Help. I'm an old curmudgeon. XD
