The older I get, the more I appreciate what an insidious and malignant force nostalgia is

nostalgia: a dog puking then eating its own puke.

I think it’s gotten worse, nostalgia used to be way better when I was a kid

George Lucas has joined the chat.

Paul LeMat and Mackenzie Phillips in American Graffiti, a 1973 nostalgia movie about the early 60s. Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford in Star Wars, a 1977 homage to 1930s and 40s science fiction movie serials like Flash Gordon. Harrison Ford in Raiders of the Lost Ark, a 1981 homage to pulp adventure serials of the 1930s.

That reminds me, I really think there should be a new version of American Graffiti that takes place around 1999-2000.

If it came out this year it would take place in 2013! And you know, that might just be nostalgic enough!

"Happy Days" would be early 2000s as well. Nostalgia ain't what it used to be.

It’s basically powered by resentment about aging, and probably that is powered by fear of death, nothing good comes from those things
