Eric I’m sorry but you have to go to jail

Reposted from Eric

Dazed and Confused was released in 1993, about a day in 1976. A comparable movie released in 2025 would be set in . . . 2008

I would be down to watch a day in the life of a bunch of high schoolers while their parents are trying to figure out if capitalism is over because of the GFC

The Matthew McConaughey character would still come across as creepy for wearing an "Ed Hardy" T-Shirt.

I feel personally attacked. No bail.

If That 70’s show came out today with the same time gap as the original it would be set post 9/11.

Marty McFly would go to 1995!

He just means re-release Superbad

Was thinking the same

It's a rough week for Erics

I'm getting old and I know that means my brain is going sour but has any pop culture happened in this century

As a ‘76 grad I can say both Dazed and Confused and Fast Times at Ridgemont High are true to life. Except for the weird spanking bits - but that was Texas I guess.

Tempus sure does fugit.

your response to Eric about a film set in 1976 means that we’ll get to it in the Letters to Editor section in two to three weeks.

Wow, the rest of the skeets tonight about Eric were just that he shouldn't be mayor anymore.

Definitely where my mind went first too

Free speech has clearly gone too far!

janusroberts.bsky.social•8 days ago

It’s insane how culturally different these time periods seem. No one from 1993 even remotely looks like someone from 1976. But someone in 2025 wouldn’t look out of place in 2008. Has the internet created a permanent monoculture or something?

Pretty much. Also pre-iPhone post-iPhone is a thing.

Hold up. It can at least be a nostalgia piece for the end of the W era and the beginning of the Obama era when we still had hope.

wasn't that just "Boyhood"?

johnflournoy.science•9 days ago

Yeah I'd damn watch this

markliu.bsky.social•8 days ago

I dunno… 2008 was pretty awesome

witzkers.bsky.social•9 days ago

I’m not sorry

mintwaltman.bsky.social•8 days ago

Does 2008 have a look and feel like the 70s did during the 90s?

awillo.bsky.social•8 days ago

2008…such a simpler time. I wish we could turn back the clock to those days.

Flo Rida ass movie

I hate it here.

randomguy1017.bsky.social•9 days ago

Whoa, what did I do?

xavkoenig.bsky.social•9 days ago

Wait wait - if Back to the Future was set in 2025, Marty would go back to 1995 to help his parents get married.

The dance scene has Marty getting onstage and playing Doo Wop (That Thing) in front of Lauryn Hill’s cousin and doing a TikTok dance that the audience doesn’t understand.

Part 3 looks like the Great Gatsby and has mobsters and flapper girls in place of cowboys.
