I saw Star Wars in its first run in theatres. I robe my bicycle to see Raiders of the Lost Ark, and a bunch of friends piles in a car and went to see Back to the Future.
Then you start hearing about how this movie or that show is having its 25 year anniversary. Celebrities that I remember being young now look their ages. Athletes I watched in the height of their careers don't look athletic at all and do commercials for things like Grecian Formula.
Even doing the "half your age plus 7" thing means most of the young stars are too young.
And I still have half my life left to go!
