Don't worry about it .... heck "Jaws" is 34 years old and "Star Wars" is about 32. I remember "Ben Hur" and "The Ten Commandments" when they were in their 1st run. :o

I saw "Ghostbusters" at a Drive-In theater with the wife and kids. As I recall it was down off Route 210 between Indianhead and Fort Washington, MD. That area was mostly rural some 25 years ago. Now it is a booming residential area south of Washington, DC. That Drive-In is long gone.

I always liked those. L-O-U-D though....


on topic...

I love watching "old" movies. Even stuff from the nineties looks dated now. Makes it more fun!

Gozer the Gozerian! Good evening! As a duly designated representative of the state, county and city of New York, I order you to cease any and all supernatural activity and return forthwith to your place of origin or to the nearest convenient parallel dimension!

I believe you all know my stance on this movie! haha I was 1 when the movie came out, but I grew up on the movies and the cartoon "The Real Ghostbusters" I actually just bought a toy gun from some guy on craigslist YESTERDAY!!!

Got to see the melted marshmellow effect with a cop car on top for several days as I passed by there. A really great movie! Sorry I missed it last night.

As much as I'd rather be 26 than 66, I have to admit that it was an interesting run.

My generation went from Four Lads/Perry Como/Rosemary Clooney to Elvis/doo wop, to the Beatles/English Invasion to everything else after. (Sorry, I can't say that I care for much of today's rap music, but I guess my dad felt the same when I went crazy over Bill Haley and the Comets.)

I lived in an era when cars were exciting and the new models were highly anticipated. We would spend hours at the diner on Saturday night talking cars, get four hours of sleep, and then go to the drags on Sunday.

We had our choice of drive in movies for Saturday night dates (Jersey was the home of the drive-in).

Now, I get up to hit the bathroom about the same time I used to go to sleep!!

BTW it's Bill Haley and HIS Comets.

Three things happen when you get old:

1) You get too lazy to check details

2) You still look at good lookin' women, but you can't remember why

3) I can't remember the third thing

Age has it's advantages. I could never justify a MM when the kids were little and business was growing. Now I look like any other old guy driving what at first glance looks like "your fathers mercury". No one from the police to the "kids" driving their hot rods suspects what the car can do.
It is my favorite cure for feeling old to smoke some guy from the light on the outside when the lanes merge. And best of all there is need to smoke or squwak the tires or even exceed the posted limit. Hats off to Jerry Barnes and Lidio.

I'm 37 and I've never felt old.

My grandparents, on both sides of the family, were all born in 1899. That made them just 13 when the Titanic sank. Neither one of my gramdpa's were even old enough to fight in WW1.

My house was built in 1862. It didn't get indoor plumbing until 1970.

There are Indians buried in the cornfeild next to my house. Finding the arrowheads they were buried with is still very easy to do.

Time is just a matter of perspective.
