Never seen the video, this song for me will always be the scene from the planet of Junk when Wreck-gar and his crew rebuild Ultra-Magnus.

No one has their finger on the pulse of trending pop culture like a 45 year old woman at a political rally. Now I hope you all Pokemon GO! .... to the polls.

Part of me feels like this take is cynical just for the sake of being cynical, but then I remember that I watched the movie around the time that it came out, before it became 'the best movie of all time'. It got good reviews at the time, but it definitely didn't get that kind of praise out of the gate.

I remember that TBS would play it non-stop, and thinking about that now, it's probably a huge reason why this film got voted to that spot on IMDB. For me, I just watched a movie that I thought was pretty good ,worth re-watching, and years later when I heard 'it's been voted as......' , I thought 'yeah, I guess I could kind of see why it would get that vote'.

But if it's always been hyped to you as the greatest film of all time before you watched it.... I could also understand you asking what the big deal is.

As far as performances go, Freeman and Robbins aren't where the magic is. They're fine in their lead roles, but nobody ever says 'oooh Robbins was so good in that!'. It's the character actors that give this film it's shine.

The whole series ended on a cliffhanger and I'm still pissed about it.

Fuckin' hilarious. The company that coasted on it's legacy image for decades but the private equity firms that own them now probably realize that it's primary market of overweight, knuckle dragging, mid-life crisis boomers is dying off and they have to pivot. I mean, just look at those crowd photos of the Sturgis rally.

People don’t even want to be associated with Harley anymore,

That's the effect of your primary boomer market. Nobody wants to associate with those chuds. The brand is damned if they do, damned if they don't. (Even though by the articles own description, they really don't).

A vintage Harley valued at $30,000 just a few years ago is now getting only $4,000.

So those overvalued bikes are now starting to come to earth because of the dying off effect, and the younger generations don't identify with the brand enough to pay those kind of exorbitant prices, but the elder chuds think it's because of woke.

Many folks, chud and otherwise, really don't grasp that when private equity swoops in, your cherished brand is nothing more than intellectual property playthings and the owners don't give a flying fuck about the undeserved loyalty of it's fanbase.

While parents can teach their kids valuable lessons about saving, not all the money rules that pertained to Gen Xers and boomers translate to today's economy. For example, Clayman said, generations growing up in the postwar era were more likely to have pension plans, while retirement is largely self-funded now. Plus, factors like inflation and a higher cost of living can make it harder for younger people to stick to strict saving schedules.

This article is just Krugman's fucking 'vibe-cession' bullshit with extra steps, and it even kneecaps it's own argument.
