Some people may act like that. I certainly don’t. I Francis Fukuyama’d this at the time and I stand by it.
We act like the “Murder, She Wrote” and “Magnum, P.I.” crossover wasn’t the apex of western culture.

also, ALL THE HEARTS YOU EAT is part of the sale. Ends Dec 2nd 🫀

The reason Rian Johnson made the best STAR WARS movie since EMPIRE and the reason he makes such continually successful whodunnits is that he has an incredible grasp on narrative "reveals" that also feel like satisfying payoffs of fair setups. And abundant rewatches have proven they play 100% fair.

If you rebooted RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK today with the same temporal margins, it’d be set in the 1980s. Neo-Nazi punks would have their faces melted by the opening of a forbidden arcade cabinet at the KB Toys at your local mall. Indiana Jones would wear a Hawaiian shirt and Chuck Taylor sneakers.
We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

No, Charles Bronson’s 1991-film YES, VIRGINIA THERE IS A SANTA CLAUS isn’t about him killing a bunch of mafia guys to prove to a little girl that there’s a Santa. But it should have been.
