Quote from: Rev. Powell on May 09, 2026, 09:51:00 AMI don't use youtube on my phone often but when I do I access it by the web. No restrictions that way. A YouTube specific app seems useless to me?

if I go on youtube in web browser on my phone, if I look at another tab the vid will stop

but yeah the app is not much different to going on it the 'old fashioned' way

As tempting as Supervixens was, I chose Animal Farm, just to see if they kept the story straight.....

According to AI

QuoteMovies are often called classics because they serve as a perfect time capsule for a specific decade's aesthetic. When a young viewer calls an 80s film a "classic," they are often acknowledging that it represents the peak of that specific "old" look, regardless of whether the movie is actually a masterpiece.

A movie often earns the "classic" label when it is no longer part of the active cultural conversation.

Contemporary: Everyone is talking about it now.

Modern: It came out in the last 10–15 years; your older siblings or young parents remember it clearly.

Classic (Old): It belongs to the "parents" or "grandparents" generation. If a teenager sees a CRT television or a corded phone in a movie, it is immediately categorized as "classic" because it represents a world they don't recognize.

It helps to distinguish between the two ways we use the word:

Critical Classic - A film that changed cinema or had massive cultural impact.

Chronological Classic - A film that is simply old enough to feel like it's from a different world.

I guess the store is mixing both, Critical and chronological (old), under the "classics" umbrella term.  :wink:

RIFFTRAX: BIRDEMIC: Global warming causes birds to attack cars, and sometimes explode, troubling the romance between a software salesman and his underwear model girlfriend. Surely one of the worst widely-known movies made in the 2000s, with a poorly-paced script, zero acting talent, and infamously ridiculous "special effects." "They forgot to tell this movie it was in a movie..."--Kevin. Like SAMURAI COP, this is one of those classic "new" bad movies I feel like I should see on its own first, but what the hey? Free copy, and what are the chances I'll squeeze a screening of BIRDEMIC into my schedule? In a way, I dodged a bullet, because the entire first half of the movie is dull "character development" before the exploding bird gifs show up. 3.5/5.
