ST: '09
Watching TNG as a kid
Realizing, now, you’re only 5 years younger than Patrick Stewart was when he started filming TNG (47)
Which is even more mind-blowing when you consider that a lot for these long-awaited sequels…the protagonist in the sequel is as old, if not older than, their mentor in the original.
I could be mis-remembering on some of these, but…
Creed: Stallone was older in this movie mentoring Apollo Creed’s son, than Mickey was in the original Rocky
TopGun Maverick: Tom Cruise is >= Tom Skerritt (Viper) in Top Gun
Cobra Kai: Ralph Macchio >= Pat Morita in Karate Kid
SWTLJ: Mark Hamill >= Alex Guinness
Wil Wheaton is now 5 years older than Patrick Stewart was at the start of TNG.
Another Kirk POV: Watching a Beastie Boys song destroy a fleet of alien vessels… Realizing you were playing the same song when you drove your big brother’s Corvette off a cliff as a kid.
That’s all Mark Twain’s fault.
I was watching DS9 last night and they said “Chief O’Brien can’t be a day over 38”
-_-
I knew I was old when I heard Sell Out by RBF in the grocery store.
That hurts my heart… aside from other heart health related issues.
I got more rhymes than I got gray hair And that’s a lot because I got my share
Me: just trying to get some laughs on Lemmy.
You: old peeps want to catch some strays.
I have been listening to the Beastie Boys since 1986. How is that already almost years? Paul’s Boutique is probably my favorite album of all time.
Adam Yauch died 13 years ago.
Over 50 years of tunes floating around in my noggin.
