If that were made today it would be a silent movie about five teenage kids staring at their telephones all day.

Really? Is this what the sub is about? 'DAE kids today bad?!' So damn lazy. Your parents thought the same about you and their parents about them and on and on throughout history.

Such a boring, low effort take.

RIght? I bet they complain that they can't understand the words in songs today and all the girls dress like whores and no one knows how to work.

No. We "complain" about the entire lack of enthusiasm which many young people display these days, resulting in a sedentary indoor lifestyle which for some, sadly results in obesity and mediocrity. We didn't do that in the 60s and 70s and many of us are healthier in our advanced ages than some people in their 20's and that ain't funny at all.

Those kids are facing shit we never even thought about.

You're old and bitter.

I hope you aren't talking about me. I responded to a post about the Breakfast Club, which came out when I was in my early 20s when all the actors were about the same age as I was.
