A DASTARDLY PLAN

 

[LordOfLore]

I think 30 is when we turn into "old geezers" on this forum right?

If so I've still got a year of my youth to enjoy before Father Time overtakes me

7 and a half years here! I'll survive you all(apart from kswis who'll probably be uploaded to the cloud to preserve his secret knowledge)!

(Of course I've helped with events etc since I was 15 so I might just be old early)

 

[Slayven]

We know that Box Office GAF is all old men.

I am a 90s baby

 

[Bronx-Man]

Y'all definitely not gonna slander my dude Xaoss while i'm around.

 

[MANUELF]

Im 26

I think that Ghaleon and Bobby were talking about hitting the 40+ club this year in one of the past threads.

I don't know who the oldest regular is. I know that me, you and Slayven are within a 2-3 year span. BumRush is a year or two younger than me. Bronson is a child.

If you start your birthday from when you started collecting chromium comic covers.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

One step closer to 40 next month for me.

wtf I didn't do nothin!'

In other news, I'm mostly moved into the new apartment now and I never want to move apartments ever again and how do people drive UHaul trucks I was terrified

For the first half of the 2000s, I moved at least once per year. I got frighteningly efficient at moving quickly.

Also, glad to hear you are mostly in. Moving does suck.
Worst and most stressful move ever for me was in 2014.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

25, daddeh.

 

[LordOfLore]

Moving sucks. I'm happy the latest one went so well. Putting up my family's movie collection took days and made me seriously consider going digital in the future..

 

[Gentleman Jack]

I still remember when you could hear a projector reel whirring and clicking.

 

[MrMephistoX]

The year has not been kind to comedies. Damn

Makes me kind of sad Romcoms were the first to go now ensemble comedies...are gross out comedies already on the wane too? Will be interesting to see if Baby Driver stays in the top 10 next week with Homecoming releasing this week: Sony really needs that boost of good PR having two films in the top 10.

Saturday sucked, and that was just getting some small stuff in and building some furniture

Sunday was total hell, I filled a 15 foot UHaul by myself with the exception of one friend helping me with a reclining sofa and sofabed. I hired movers for the unload but one showed up late so I ended up doing most of that too, and whew

I already put all of my games/movies in a DVD wallet gimmick before moving, so I can just keep the cases in a box and forget em thankfully

 

[kswiston]

I have to ship all my stuff on the 20th, ahead of my move at the end of this month.

I'm too cheap to ship my car, so I think I am driving solo while my wife and daughter fly up.

32 hour drive. Should be fun.

 

[Lima]

I've always loved cinema. Fondly remember my dad always taking me. My dream was to become a projectionist. Good thing I didn't pursue that dream.

I believe in you boss!

I did that drive moving across the US, lordy I say ship dat

Canada shipping is not reasonable. I got a quote for $6k for everything, not counting our flights out.

Nope to that. We're spending about $2k to get the essentials out there, and I can drive for about $400 more than it would cost for my personal plane ticket.

Jesus and I thought I was the youngest (21).

God, that sound was so good. I've helped out with clearing old projector rooms for upgrades etc across Stockholm but I still remember sitting in WB Scandinavia's private cinema(before their office was closed) to see a WIP cut of Chamber Of Secrets on an old projector with the region boss starting everything up(since he had worked in cinema from the ground up to get where he was now and still one of the people at the head of the projectionist union).

 

[BronsonLee]

If WrassleGAF has taught me anything, guys, it's that you need to keep your spot at all costs, lest some young gun take it away from you so let's just surround Bronx in a bully circle

 

[hodayathink]

I'm on the right side of 40 and the wrong side of 30, and that's good enough for now.

Boi, if you don' get your 5'2 Tom Cruise lookin ass out my face

My spot is forever.

You're gonna have to retire me.

My father had somehow collected 650+ cases or boxes. Being high up at WB for 15 years probably helped collect all that but this was the 4th time in 3 years I've taken everything up after putting it in boxes.

I'm thankful my personal DVD/BD collection is just 40 movies in a similar thing to yours.

Speaking of movies, has anyone checked out the Logan BD yet? It's good, right? Thinking about buying it here in LA since it'll be like 3 months more before it's out in Sweden.

Youngsters don't understand the struggle of nascent internet days. Y'all don't know shit about Hamster Dance. The horrors of using realvideo.

Bronson v DM

 

[kswiston]

You know that uncle, professor, or boss you have that is stuck forever buying Lenovo Thinkpads because they want that TrackPoint thumbpad that they have been using for 25 years? That's me and forums by this point.

20 years young, oldheads get the fuck outta my house

I'm turning 21 next month. I got yo back.

 

[BronsonLee]

I haven't heard of six of those movies.

Youngsters don't understand the struggle of nascent internet days. Y'all don't know shit about Hamster Dance. The horrors of using realvideo.

I didn't own a computer until I was almost 20. A month after financing that Gateway computer I could finally afford dial up with Mindspring.

 

[cackhyena]

Just did my duty adding to WW's haul. So good. DC better learn from this.

 

[Schlorgan]

Just turned 25 last month.

My stylist said that with my new haircut, I looked 21 and not 17.

I almost cried.

Six months younger than Star Wars.
