Interests that span generations

[EmilyMiller]

So this is a sex forum. Lets take that a read.

What other subjects do you find cross generational gaps with the people you talk to here?

I’m going to go with an obvious one: Star Wars.

How about you?

Classical movies

Yeah - I agree with that.

Love me some Kurosawa, or Casablanca, or Rear Window.

Music is the easiest.

We all have our "era" but it feels like there's just more crossover respect than other media/forms. Also, feels built to age better.

Movies can hold up okay but plenty of "you had to be there" examples.

TV is rife with cringe. Even in top tier of their time examples, miserable aging happens way too frequently.

I've watched Good Eats.

To be serious, seriously, Great music no matter the genre is generational.

Books felt too on the nose, especially for here, but I'd have to believe they are #1.

Yeah. About the most modern author I read regularly is Le Carre. He got to be a bit too much of an angry old man at the end though.

Arguing.

I think you are totally wrong there. And you smell .

BRB - can’t post and drive. Don’t trust Siri.

John Le Carre, another Englishman with a French name. Oh, and so everyone understands, Louis is not pronounced Lewis. It is pronounced Lewy. I get so freaking tired of people calling St. Louis -- St. Lewy. AGHH.

I like trains.

Between Altan Brown and my Daddy, I'm a good cook.

It's all been downhill since the woke "New Testament."



I see no problems here.

Arguing.

Agree to disagree.

 

[MillieDynamite]

Men wrote those laws, and I doubt God told me anything like that. Yes, I know, it's a man's world. Fucking men, no thank you, I'll stick to other women.

You're forgetting pistons, Em, and fire under your boiler, a sturdy stoker, all those night trains to Georgia, a second class carriage with a little veranda at the end. The caboose. Trains are more than Gunhill's El.

I have many a fond memory of the overnight train up the Great Dividing Range. The train's movement does all the work, and the tunnels are self explanatory.

So would you be, if all of a sudden the basic premise of your work disappeared overnight. Curse you, Gorbachev!

I agree, though. His later novels have their moments, but none of them match the Smiley novels. I think his last really good one was The Night Manager, but I'm not sure if that's because of the TV series.

Yeah. I know you’re trying. But I’m not feeling it.

I thought it was downhill after The Little Drummer Girl and A Perfect Spy.

His anti-Americanism ratcheted up as well. I kinda understand what he was angry about, but you can’t blame a whole country for the dumb shit politicians do. The UK has had its is share of dumb politicians too.
