Society & Culture Old People give me the shits

[Pistol Night]

If you’re younger than 18 or older than 70, get the fu** away from me.

Pity one of your high profile supporters didn't live by that motto..

Rich people live in a bubble

Crash Davis said "affluent old people".

This scene was set in 1995, so he's probably dead by now.

Probably posting on how the Chinese started fires to create a super train because people can't get to Illawarra fast enough currently.

And no means no, Collingwood players.

 

[La Dispute]

Any minor inconvenience/delay in the course of trying to help them out at work and they threaten to take you to the ombudsman

Don’t have an email address because they’re “not good with technology”

Those born in the 'Gen X' years are the ******* worst

Nah.

They are the ones working hard, buying nice s**t and setting the example for the whiney little babies.

Last generation that wasn't wrapped in cotton wool and told often "no".

 

[Bostonian]

No single person of any age bracket has the power to shape society. The government does.

Things my age group do now will be looked down upon in sixty years and the younguns then will say "this is all Gen Z and Y's fault" all the same.

You're full of it. No single person?

There's plenty of rich businessmen who've shaped society more than any politician has.

Aldous Huxley predicted this s**t in Brave New World.

You don't think Facebook, Apple etc have shaped society more than any Aussie politician?

Working hard? They are the laziest working group I have every come across. They have jobs sure, but they are so, so lazy

Can we all have a minute's silence for poor old Crash, who works in a bank & is routinely tortured by the elderly....May his soul rest in peace.

 

[HulkSmash]

Kill the elderly

Tipping your favourite old movie was Soylent Green...

I'm in favour of mandatory euthanasia of anyone over the age of 80.

Have you lot heard of Logan's Run? Same concept, except you die at 30.

Who cares if the elderly don't take to the internet?

Sometimes some of these guys need to be kept off the internet. Check out the Australian nuffy groups on Facebook and you'll see what I mean.

Get to the Illawarra? I thought people would prefer to go the other way?

Heard of it but do not think I ever seen it.

Oh man.....It's got Jenny Agutter in it, running about in next to nix.

Yeah ya taking s**t now.

Nobody has ever called Gen X lazy before until you.

Sounds like a massive deflection to take the heat off the whiney bitches generation.

 

[Procrastinator35]

Older people really don't bother me at all....It's the younger ones who really do give me the shits.

Given current Hollywood's love of the remake, reboot and even the soft reboot, I'm a little surprised someone hasn't given this a whack. Story with a bit of polish at the back end would translate pretty well today I'd reckon.

Careful what you wish for

Logan's Run Remake Will Be Hunger Games-Esque Franchise

Writer Simon Kinberg gives an update on the Logan's Run remake, which he says Warner Bros. envisions as a Hunger Games-esque franchise.

collider.com

Lots of daggy 70s 80s films with great story lines but made without polish could get a remake
Some would be good others would lose their original charm
eg
I dont want a remake of The Omega Man that was perfect as is

 

[Jobe Watson]

The Island is basically a remake of Logan's Run. There are a few differences but the plot is similar.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

I Am Legend with Will Smith is a remake of The Omega Man book according to Wikipedia (you don't need to see it).

The Island is basically a remake of Logan's Run. There are a few differences but the plot is very similar.

Haven't seen Logan's Run but saw The Island. Was okay. Though even being 18 the product placements struck me in the face, so maybe it's not okay. Michael Bay directed it.

We have a client who insists on paying by cheque, which means he has to mail it to us.

He then complains A) why it takes so long to receive or B) how did his cheque go missing.

Maybe if you didn't pay in such an archaic way, you wouldn't have these problems you stupid *.

Probably his way of not paying his invoice for ages......
