Yep. It was before my time, by about three months. I refuse to watch films older than me.

seriously I have no idea how I've never watched Shrek 2
I was sure you were older for me all these years but holy **** you're way younger than me
I too have my doubts but one day we're gonna ask someone a similar question and turns out they never saw a movie of our childhoods cause they were born in 2010.
Now that I think of it, people born in 2010 can actually make an account as of this year

obviously it's cuz old stuff is bad. especially old people
Which...is not necessarily true. I mean, more power to Peridot if they do not want to watch it for whatever reason, but old movies can be a part of our history, and can be good and even timeless. There is a reason why some of them are called classics.

I get that there are some bad old movies out there, but I would not say Shrek 2 is one of them, and people seem to dislike old things and maybe people for the wrong peoples, when in a number of, or even all or most cases, being old is not necessarily a bad thing.

Dude's really missing out.

Pre-2000s Disney animated films, Die Hard, Speed (1994), Gojira (1954), King Kong (1933), etc.

Huh. That's odd, I really don't feel like I give off "mature" vibes. Hell, it's weird for me to think that I'm a legal adult. I make memes on the Smash Bros website why am I looking at college.
I don't think it's that hard to explain. Things before August 4th 2004 are ancient and predate history, and should not be played. If Sam Raimi's Spider Man 2 released a week later it would be a masterpiece, but as it is it's strange and unknowable.

Oh please. Forgive me, but that is just not right to me about movies. I do not care if Noipoi thinks this is even a joke, How could you think that?

Not that I am trying to get you to watch old movies, for I am not, but this is just messed up and flawed.

I have no idea I just used to automatically assume people are older than me

There will be exceptions, especially for someone I'm well acquainted with.
Ah, good

Is it just me, or do I find all this talk about the old (jokes included) offensive, whether or not it includes actual old people?
I've never liked the trend of normalising age discrimination under the guise of humour.

Except everyone except for you know that I'm joking

Seriously I don't even know why we're having this conversation. It all started because you and Mike misinterpreted jokes
Jokes or not, I felt I needed to explain the things I did. Some things are just not funny to me, and even though these may be jokes, I do like to explain why things may be bad.

There is no need to take it personally for that reason, or whatever you may feel.

I don't think every joke made in this thread is a knee slapper either. But they're just jokes, y'know?

As long as it's not made with the intent of actually hurting anyone, it doesn't really matter to me :drshrug:
