Nick Lowe’s The Convincer came out on the same day as well.  I bought Nick’s and Dylan’s records, and IIRC, they were the first CD’s I bought from Amazon.

And when the ratings stink, there’d be the inevitable story about the show being on the chopping block...

This how I feel about gaming. I’m perfectly set in my 80's Super Mario, Legend of Kage, XCOM, and Tetris ways.

yeah. my dad’s 80 and he’s owned probably 20 PCs, 3 or 4 smart phones, a couple iPads, and has been sending email for 25 years. I am pretty sure every 77 year old my Dad knows has been sending email for 20+ years.  But i guess that’s the difference between being a famous actor and having a real job.

I love Christopher Walken, but he’s just being lazy. I work in software, I deal with customers his age all the time. As long as you show them the basics, like how to make a simple phone call, they’ll have no issues with it. Mobile phones and personal computers have existed in the mainstream, since he was in his 40's.

My dad is 75 and just joined SnapChat. It’s cute AF. He also just got his first iPhone a couple years ago and his first tablet this summer.

My parents are slightly younger than Walken and they’ve been using computers for work for over 35 years now, even my aunts and uncles who are a little older than Walken have been using computers for work since the 80s/90s. I mean that’s the generation that started a lot of Silicon Valley back in the day. But it does…

My dad’s about Walken’s age, and he (my dad, that is) is the one who taught me how to use a computer when I was a kid.

Not to make assumptions about your Dad, but chances are he has two things your Dad doesn’t, a personal assistant and an agent.

Yeah a lot of people his age were at least forced to start using computers in the early ‘00s for their jobs. Being an already very well known actor, that probably didn’t happen to him.

C-3PO has enough of taunts and as the Ewoks God figure decides to declare a religious war upon humans...

Star Wars and/or what?

LOL Zune. 

No! This has to stop! If we have to say we’re sorry every time a boob or genital pops through clothing, I’m going to have to apologize for the last hour of every birthday party I’ve ever had!

Ah, another two from the Thomas Pynchon Casting Agency.

Yes, I read this book when I was a child. Of course, all of the architecture was foreign to me, Australian houses in the north then were mostly plasterboard and wood, single or double story. But I do remember the climbing through walls and fire escapes spying on other inhabitants in the building, a bit creepy for a…

Sure, it does, but there’s more to it than that. Judy Blume’s central characters are imperfect but usually fundamentally decent. Harriet is really up to some shady business and could at least be called amoral. The lessons she learns are actually pretty adult and involve navigating relationships and putting her…
