I googled. He's 78.
joke explanation
Yul Brynner is a deceased actor who starred in the Magnificent Seven (1960).His name is only barely similar (yu-noise at start -er sound at end).
The joke is Uri Geller is both so insignificant and I'm so old, I'm mistaking him for a famous but long dead star of the silver screen.
I too am old. But younger I suspect. Still - I couldn't remember a single actor in that movie even though there are at least seven leads. Wikipedia lists the stars as...
Six of them I saw all the time on tv in the 1970s when I was a boy. But I have no idea who Horst Buchholz is. What the heck. I surely watched at least parts of the movie a few times. But that was the fat-back era of tv and all movies were ruined because they were "edited for tv", scan-and-pan, and jammed full of commercials. I've never seen it in its pristine form. Westerns aren't my thing at all but all this nostalgia means I'm going to look for a torrent.
No that's also actually part of the bit I'm not that old either. Just feels old transitioning at my current age.
But the Magnificent Seven is a real hoot without ads or editing. I watched it with my grandfather I think when I was a kid on VHS. Obviously it's a rip-off of Seven Samurai by Kurosawa. But that movie rules so that's fine.
Well, how dare you - young lady. In all seriousness things have been a nostalgic for me recently. At another site I posted about the first mixtape I made when the word wasn't even invented yet. And yesterday I posted a vid of a kid with a skateboard getting tear gassed by the pigs but he showed tremendous resolve by very slowly walking away and then equally slowly turning around and giving them the finger. I wonder if he was in pain and/or puked after that.
Something twigged in my memory. In the Mesozoic I must have seen a similar but super-tame fictional version of a kid facing off against the cops. The kid surely didn't give them the bird. He must have only gotten the last word. Reality hits so much harder. I saw "Mesozoic" in post by Heather Thomas. She was the stuntwoman on the Fall Guy.
Ninja edit. I preset my oven. I remembered I have Stouffer's Spinach Soufflé in my freezer. It reminds me of 1970s and more so the 1980s. It's a comfort food and I need a break from my doomscrolling of pigs on parade in LA. I want to be optimistic but things just get worse and worse.
