It always makes me a little sad when I bring up some touchstones like that and certain of the younger group give me the fish eye stare.For the kids with the computer in their hand, if it ain't on netflix, hulu, or some other download, it doesn't exist {and never did}.
They are taught little real history, I'd wager that most have no clue that the KKK is a demonRAT creation, that all of the Southern gubbernors that fostered segregation were demonRAT or that a pubbie President {Ike} sent federal troops to integrate the schools in the south.
Most would never believe that Martin Luther King was a pubbie and that he would condemn today's demonRATs, both black and white.
My heart breaks over the ignorance of today's yutes.
Concerning cultural things like movies, have you heard about Disney buying up old movies and putting them into the “vault”? Theaters which had been using old movies to earn cash in between big movies have been coming up short because Disney will not let them rent the movie to show in their theaters. I think it popped up because they wanted to rent the first Terminator to build interest in the latest offering.
You can still get those movies from the internet, but seeing them on the big screen is a lot different than home theater.
