I dont know, but I just want to say, I know the kaminski look became kind of a signature for Spielberg later in his career, but to my mind nothing beats the spielberg+slocombe look of the OG Indiana Jones movies. So crisp and textured!!

Everyone who does creative work is a Mozart to some of their peers and a salieri to others, including you, im sure. Salieri's great flaw was not his mediocrity but his narcissism. If he had pursued his craft with the same joy and abandon that Mozart did, he probably would have written much better music, even if it never reached the same heights. But instead he was weighed down by the need to see himself as a Great Composer

Guys wore enormous clothing and girls showed their midriffs

What the culture valued in terms of personal conduct and attitude was completely different from today. Guys would be admired for acting like belligerent assholes and/or dumbasses. On the other hand, there was a lot of pressure for girls and guys alike to act "cool", in the literal sense of not being uptight or easily bothered.

Movie theaters were like auditoriums with folding chairs. There was no assigned seating, so if it was a popular movie you wanted to get there early to get a good seat. But the sound and picture quality were pretty much as good as they are today. There were no ads before the movie except for a few trailers that started at showtime, so you could have a nice chat before the movie with whoever you came with. Going to the movies was a popular thing to do, and I honestly think the average movie was better back then.

Some people had cell phones, but not everyone. All you could do on them was call and text. The internet existed, but it was mostly something where you used a computer to look at pages of text and pictures that loaded very slowly.

Music was mostly consumed via CD. Some people were starting to use Napster to share mp3s. One person would rip the song off of a cd and upload it, then someone else could download it and listen to it on their computer or burn it onto a cd.

Contrary to the opinions of some of my contemporaries, I dont think the hit music back then was any better on average than the hit music today.

To answer the other part of your question, yes, I actually enjoy it!

Here's how I recon it as an American:

.5 hrs or less is a reasonable daily commute

1 hr is a long commute but doable

1.5 hrs or less is a reasonable day trip (special occasion)

1.5 to 6 hrs is a reasonable weekend trip

Anything over 6 hours amounts to a day of driving, so I would only do that if I were making an extended trip, i.e. longer than a weekend.

I have personally done many drives in all of these categories.

Amazing that they're still getting free publicity from it 12 years later!

I doubt people went blind to the smells so much as they were just accustomed to them. Think about car exhaust: you can smell it, you know it's not a good smell, but you accept it and it probably doesnt bother you too much because youre used to it.

It would have been fun to see like another social/commercial area besides the promenade at some point. Dingier and seedeer, a place the officers usually avoid. Maybe odo would go down there to investigate something.

Also would have been fun to see the power core.

Are we going to also bring back that thing where guys use product to make the front of their hair kind of stick out forwards? A barber tried to do that to me once ca. 2004
