I don't know how the internet affe...Thanks man! I don't know how the internet affects viewing habits as far as kids reaching back to older times. Certainly, the access is there in a way it wasn't before. It's crazy to me how my son can watch any movie he has an interest in through DVDs or streaming or YouTube. That's a long way from how I grew up in the '70s and '80s and had to wait for years to see certain films because they were out of circulation for one reason or another. <br /><br />So the whole spectrum of movies, of every era, is open to young people now - if they have an interest in it. But yet I do think that people are naturally attached to the movies they grow up on. I always loved the Hammer and Universal classics, which were well before my time, but yet it's the movies that were released when I was a kid, the ones I saw in the theaters or on TV and followed the promos and reviews for as they were coming out, that I have a special affection for. <br /><br />I have to imagine the horror era of the 00's, all advertised with aggressive, brutal imagery, didn't burrow into the brains of many young fans at the time. That wasn't my era for horror but I'll be interested to see how it's appreciated as time goes on by the fans who were of the right age to really be impacted by it.

She hadn't seen the more recent remakes or sequel. Another kid who I tutor was excited to play me a David Bowie song she'd just discovered on Youtube. It's all right there for them.<br />When I was a kid I heard about a lot of movies I had no way to watch... so I was stuck with old (good) stuff on TV or whatever I could get to the theater to see (not much). Such limitations are long gone, unless your looking for something really obscure.<br /><br />Nice to read you again, by the way.Timmy Crabcakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14737954661234574830noreply@blogger.com
