movie "midlife-crisis"
7 years ago
So I feel like i'm well versed in the variety of movies I have watched, cataloging them into an online database called letterboxd, and I made a startling discover.
Out of the 1517 films I have cataloged, 804 of them have been made during my lifetime (22 years). That's over half!
Is it that when I came into this world VHS began to get huge and those movies with them?
Is it that when you're a kid you don't watch non-recent movies?
Is it that the older movies aren't usually oriented towards a young audience?
probably.
But I'm still very surprised that out of ~120 years that movies have been around, my little slice of 22 makes up half of my knowledge.
I'm wondering if this is a trend for others as well.
In case you were wondering, another 100 come from the other 5 years in the 90's
