The 2011 Guide to Making People Feel Old
-Using Movie Release Dates-
[A chart with 2 columns. First column is labeled ‘Their Age,’ and is numbered 16 through 35 & ‘over 35.’ The second column is labeled ‘You Say’ and is divided into four sub-columns. The first sub-column reads ‘“Did you realize that…’ from 16-35, and the third sub-column says ‘Came Out’ from 16-35.]
Age 16: Snakes on a Plane… Half a decade ago?”
17-19: Revenge of the Sith… More than half a decade ago?"
20: Finding Nemo… Eight years ago?"
21-22: Shrek… Ten years ago?"
23-25: The Matrix… Not the last decade, but the one before that?"
26: Toy Story… Over fifteen years ago?"
27: The Lion King… Seventeen years ago?"
28: Jurassic Park… Eighteen years ago?"
29: Terminator 2… Twenty years ago?"
30-32: Home Alone… More than twenty years ago?"
33-35: The Little Mermaid … Closer to the moon landing than the present day?
Over 35: “Hey, did you see this chart? You match your age to movie - oh, right, sorry, it only goes up to 35. I guess it’s not really aimed at older people.”
