Scott things are hilarious! If I knew how, I would create many of them myself using modern 'movies' which go overboard on CGI extravagances -- and some of the more needless modern remakes. "Guy named Squeamy got thrown from the fifth floor. He's deader'n a mackerel."

It's funny seeing Scott recoil and turn around to look back at the projection booth and do a doubletake, as if to say "Waitaminit -- I don't remember my favorite movie being like THAT!" "Guy named Squeamy got thrown from the fifth floor. He's deader'n a mackerel."

I kow I harp on this, but I can imagine it being done with topical stuff - ' 40s movies that didn't have the sense to include WWII references (outside of those war bond ads in the credits) would suddenly HAVE WWII references. Early ' 60s movies and shows without JFK and MLK references would suddenly have those. The same with pop culture - Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe would come up (either their names or their pictures) in a lot of the ' 50s movies and shows that were too stupid not to have them in the first place!

Wouldn't that spoil it all a bit though? I don't think its stupidity necessarily - maybe they just didn't want to reference. And some of these icons and events are more noteworthy in retrospect. I'm not a fan of revisionism.

I meant the same thing as you, that people weren't talking about those things every single day while they were going on (well, maybe WWII just about), but there's kind of an idea that they were. I know I pick on it, but "period" movies often have political stuff and pop culture stuff kind of wedged into them, so I can almost imagine someone going back and doing that to the earlier ones.
