Modern day?  Devil's Rejects is the only one released in the last (almost) 25 years...  And The (terminally dull  :P) Exorcist is what, 40?

Where is the cut-off?  Most of these were made before the current crop of horror fans were born.

I guess it all depends on how old you are.  If Ted is 80, then 1973 is like yesterday.  But for someone who's 20 today, it's ages ago.

I showed Wargames to a couple of 21-22 year old friends of my nephew.  I love that movie.  They thought it was super slow and so boring.  It is true that they were not born when the movie came out and that they grew up with the iPhone.  A movie about an early computer to them is like a movie about early TV to others.

What is your major malfunction, Jason?
Just like to argue?
The 'cut-off' is wherever you want it to be.
For me, I kinda liken anything modern as 1970 and newer.
Not just because of an arbitrary date, but because of the mind-set and evolution of the media.
And no, T, I'm not 80... wynk

my date is something between 1960 & 1970, but it is a rather anomolous definition "Modern"

"Modern" art is post WW2 as defined by the movement
is art after 1995 called X-Gen??

to me, modern age in comics was the period after which I lose interest in collecting from that period (which was 1968 or so. I always liked "old" comics)

Since there is no clear definition I would say it is up to each fan to decide. I personally agree with Ted about the 70's and newer being modern. Last House On the Left, The Exorcist, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre were some of the first films that signaled a change to a more graphic, disturbing, and violent type of horror. I could see a case being made for Psycho kicking it off or even later with Halloween ushering in the slasher era.

That's the ticket.
We should start some genre-specific Film Discussion threads...

Well, Mr. Pantiesinabunch, since this is a forum for discussion, I figured that we could, you know, discuss it...

So we can blame the hippies?

Yes this is a "forum for discussion," but why hijack this thread?
This one is about BEST PURCHASES OF 2011.

That's why I suggested someone start some Film Discussion threads.
Go for it, Leach.

The 'grande' one is Piper, she was acquired in 2008 (just turned 3), and the 'petite' one is Scout, who was acquired September 23, 2011.
She is my best purchase of 2011.



After both major purchases, however, my poster budget has shrunk a bit.

They are both adorable.

Thanks, Ted!

Actually, my plan is to keep them in the basement until they are in their 30s, when they will be allowed to move in the house next door.

Unfortunately that plan didn't work for me, So I'm glad I'm past that stage, all we fork out for now is
University fee's and accommodation :-\................Yes, they are great when they are very small.

Enjoy your collecting now while you can Ben, and congratulations.

Chris, you have girls too? I didn't think I would have wanted girls, but after our first one, I knew I wanted another one...so we were so pumped when the second one was confirmed.

Paul, thanks a bunch. Yeah, I shudder to think of college bills. I am still reeling from Piper starting pre-school this week. It's very bittersweet.
Time is a thief that will never be caught...cheesy, but true.

Oh, ok, haha.

Twins, man, I cannot imagine that. One baby is hard enough. A 3 year old and a baby, NO JOKE. But two babies at once?
I think I would drink much more wine.

Getting married is a minor speed bump in the way your life is changed compared to having the first child. The third one is scary because then you are outnumbered. After three you are just numb.

But having kids was the best thing I ever did!
