I have not seen that movie and so I had to look up the quote! I hear it's a good one, though, so one of these days...

Terrence Stamp has a monologue in The Limey that is on its own worth the price of admission.

I really enjoyed your phrase “an Oort cloud of poseurs, scammers and hangers-on”. The boomers’ numbers inflated “The Sixties” to celestial exaggeration.

I don’t know about you, fellow Xer, but I’ve seen enough clips of choppers over Vit-Nam over a “Fortunate Son” soundtrack or Woodstock footage of hippies splashing in the mud to last me the rest of my life.

I like Peter Fonda’s line in that movie, right sizing the era to a briefer window. You had to be there.

Well that certainly added a sense of urgency to something that was happening half a world a way. I'm sure that more Americans would be concerned about what's happening in Palestine if they were in danger of being conscripted to join the fight.
