I love that Gen Alpha won't even get this reference because the movie came out 30 years before they were born.

Charlie Chaplain was dead long before I was born but yet I've still seen The Great Dictator.

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah because we had limited entertainment options growing up.

If we had endless short videos and memes on glass rectangle, we wouldn't know about Charlie Chaplin or Buster Keaton either.

Bullshit. I only know about how awesome Buster Keaton is because of memes. Memes are how I even came to know about the Great Dictator. Before that, I thought Chaplain was only in silent movies.

How is Chaplin related to Trump?

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 19 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I said the great dictator. Trump is far from great. :P

..yet! 😄 I bet it's not that far away until he describes himself as so

Not part of Gen A (I think this whole generation thing is a bit pointless anyway), but what is the movie?

[-] merari42@lemmy.world 26 points 3 weeks ago

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (also had a decent tie-in point and click adventure game in 1989)

[-] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 8 points 3 weeks ago

The entire trilogy are some of the greatest movies ever made.

Do not speak of the others. For they are shit and probably a money laundering scheme.

[-] illi@lemm.ee 2 points 3 weeks ago

Is it? Lost Ark and Crusade are great, but Temple of Doom? I remember not liking it that much.

[-] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago

It launched the career of Quan Kế Huy, and gave young me my first ripping someone's heart out scene.

[-] illi@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago

Fair enough :D

Fate of Atlantis slapped when I was a kid. Probably worth a ScummVM revisit.

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 7 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Sean Connery being seen is the giveaway. Pretty sure that was the only one he was in.

You choose poorly.

Shame they never invented anything to store such treasures on for later generations. Nobody but people alive in the 80s will ever see this classic gem.
