Getting old?
Are you ever surprised when you realise how old a film or an album you like actually is? It still seems recent and modern and relevant, but when you see it mentioned somewhere and see the year it was released in brackets after it, you think, “Wow!”.
- Fight Club is nine years old
- Swingers is 12 years old
- Radiohead’s The Bends is 13 years old
- Weezer’s Blue Album is 14 years old
- Reservoir Dogs is 16 years old
- Massive Attack’s Blue Lines is 17 years old
- Raiders of the Lost Ark is 27 years old
These are just the first examples I thought of, but there are a load more. I don’t know if this is just me having a poor sense of time, or if there is something about certain films and albums that means they transcend time for the people who like them.
Strangely, I never get this with novels.
