I'm getting old, all my childhood heroes die.

You’ll fit right in on this site then. It’s mostly elderly Americans sundowning and posting about their youth.

It gets worse. You start realising that the new heroes you're discovering are all younger than you.

Here's to "trying to be someone's childhood heroes"

Without dancing on TikTok or pulling stupid faces for YouTube thumbnails

		Yup, we can dream bigger and give bigger dreams :) A silver lining in the tech progress is this : I remember watching movies from the 60s or the 70s, in the 90s, and feeling "damn, that looks old". I could only care about movies made after 1984, or something (and, men, did amblin and the "produced by Steven Spielberg-verse" give us good things to watch.) I suspect that, now that movies are kinda "converging" in terms of visual, it will be easier to share the movies of our childhoods with the next generation. Besides, they don't care that much about looks : I litteraly witnessed 10 year old kids getting hooked on my 1991 game boy !!!!
