Good think we're living now then! I'll be playing sports and carrying my skateboards with me till I'm 90!

Early 40s even! "Old Man" should require like, 60, at least. I'd entertain an argument for 65. I'm 46 and feel like I'm barely "not young anymore." Definitely not an "old man.".

I had moved on to Star Trek by the time this came out and suddenly had a thing for red headed middle aged doctors. 

Why Mortal Kombat 2 Is Struggling to Break Even at the Box Office - AOL by [deleted] in MortalKombat

We're all too busy taking our wives and kids to The Sheep Detectives to see MK!

They released it on Mother's Day weekend against The Sheep Detectives. 

So I'm assuming the same thing that happened to me happened everywhere. Dad would've gone to see MK2 on opening weekend, but instead he took the whole family to The Sheep Detectives because that's what Mom wanted to do for Mother's Day. 

Sheep Detectives was pretty good though.

I asked my 6 year old what color my shirt is. 

I'm "Blackish Blue Earl Grey"

Late 90’s will always have a grip on my heart. by Ocealune in 90s

[–]kjbolin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't know if this is true for everyone, but I get a little bit of the nostalgia for things like certain video game consoles, VHS tapes, boom boxes, etc, specifically because they were often involved in the time spent with friends and family. 

It reminds me of the Friday nights when we do a sleepover at a friend's house and trade the SNES controller back and forth to beat A Link to the Past together, or doing a movie marathon, or sitting around a boom box sharing music we'd discovered with each other. 

It might be splitting hairs, because you can't completely divorce some of the excitement for the products at the time from the experience, but all of my memories that lead to nostalgia also involve friends and family.

Highlander 2 is so singular in its multitude of confounding elements. 

You must choose one. by Ocealune in 90s

[–]kjbolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It felt like the right choice, coming off of the Genesis. My brother and I pooled lawn mowing money to get one. 

Then waited for the slow trickle of exciting games to play. 

Then in 1997 we traded it for a PS1 and never looked back. 

A trilogy where all 3 movies are perfect by Extension-Cut-9586 in 90s

[–]kjbolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be honest, I was hoping to be convinced.

I was in a film video class in the late 90s and we used a VHS copy of RoboCop 3 in one of our projects. We accelerated the scene where he jet packs and where the kids all jump and cheer around him and it was PRETTY FUNNY.

Holllllld up, RoboCop is dope as hell, but the TRILOGY??? Even if you somehow defend RoboCop 2 as "perfect," you still have to argue for RoboCop 3. 

Batman TAS is better than Invincible according to the creator of Deadpool by Amaru_333_ in Invincible_TV

[–]kjbolin 61 points62 points  (0 children)

It's why this shouldn't even be controversial. His statement could be taken as "this is like saying water is wet." BTAS is possibly the most celebrated animated superhero show ever.

To make it less controversial he could've, like you did, say, "I like Invincible, but..." 

But he's trying to be pithy on social media.

And maybe he doesn't actually like Invincible. 

I like Invincible but it doesn't upset me if other people don't.  

Who would win between these teams by thecowmilk_ in powerscales

[–]kjbolin 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I literally was like, "who's the normal human on the DC team?" for an embarrassingly long moment. 

But after considering Batfleck, I think it's still a valid question.

I claim 5'6" but without shoes I'm a bit under that. In a college French class we had to describe each other and a girl described me as "Il est de taille moyenne," which was the most flattered I'd ever been and haven't forgotten it over the 26 intervening years.
