I think that technically a Western counts as a "period piece," but to the minds of most audiences, the concepts are pretty divided.

I think I must have played at least five of the computer games as a youth. Although it did always strike me as odd that no one ever figured out that Carmen's secret lair in "Where in the USA . . .?" was under the National Mall. I guess things really were different before 9/11.

I remember watching the "Where in Time?" sequel, and feeling very strongly that it was inferior to the original, though I'm not exactly sure why.

I'm against corporal punishment, ideologically speaking, but I still hope that kid got the shit kicked out of him when he got home.

Like I don't know who Greedo is. Jesus AV Club, give me some credit here.

All you need is binoculars, a MapQuest print out, and a strategically placed tree.

Michael Cera: Beck in Action

He did share a uterus with John Belushi. That's something.

"Bobbie Barrett: Bare It All (Or, 'Who Do I Have to Screw to Get My Stupid Husband a Job Around Here?')"

"We can save costs on printing by reusing the same posters! Just scratch off one letter!"

I've always felt like Don would still be alive / have survived to the modern age, if only for the emotional poignancy of seeing how drastically things have changed.
