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 10 months 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 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

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

..yet! ๐Ÿ˜„ 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 10 months ago

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

[-] nwtreeoctopus@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago

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

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

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

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.
