<blockquote>You must not have been alive in 2005.</blockquote> I was, but I was a teenager and did not get accustomed to MySpace. The social media that we kids used here in Sweden during that time was Lunarstorm (90% of high school students were on it). Then MSN Messenger if that counts. Jobs was half Syrian. His mother was a white American from a Catholic family. His father despite his Arab origins could sort of pass for a WASP. Well, he did disown his daughter, his own flesh and blood... SixDegrees was the first social media website, launching in 1997. Well, technically, even before that, you had GeoCities and Tripod, but SixDegrees was the first with personal user profiles, I think. <blockquote>JULY 19, 2005 NEWS ANALYSIS By Steve Rosenbush In less than two years, <b>MySpace has emerged as one of the hottest sites on the Web. It has more page views than Google</b> (GOOG ).</blockquote> https://web.archive.org/web/20110324060951/http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/jul2005/tc20050719_5427_tc119.htm I'm certainly not a fan of nor an apologist for Steve Jobs and Apple, but Jobs didn't invent the smartphone. He also did not envision the iPhone to become what smartphones are today. To him, the iPhone was just a sleek cellphone. Muslims reject the belief that Jesus was crucified. Although the passage 4:157 of the Koran does still state that the Jews said in boast that they killed him. Superman has kind of always been said to be Jewish. He was created by two Jewish immigrants and he is Seinfeld's favorite. Clark Kent's character is supposed to be based on Jewish stereotypes (the creators themselves). It will probably be hard to bring back the original cast if Whedon was to come back and direct considering how they say that he mistreated them on set. That still doesn't change the fact that he was the brain behind the show, though, and it's no coincidence that he directed 95% of the top episodes. Also, Nicholas Brendon refuses to be in the same room as David Boreanaz. If he is faster than what the other will live to be, doesn't this imply that what he will live to be is long(er)? How is that a threat? I guess they felt that the risk wasn't worth it following the bad reception of the video game adaptions of Tomorrow Never Dies and The World is Not Enough (although the N64 version was decent, the PS1 version sucked). PG, yes, but this was before PG-13 had been created and I believe that the Jaws theatrical poster had a warning text next to the rating that read ...may be too <b>intense</b> for younger children. The Nintendo 64 version is considered pretty good. The PlayStation version, not so much. This is the board for the Nintendo 64 game GoldenEye and not the movie. IMDb has profiles for video games too, so take it up with them. My father is a boomer and he never kept hating shows for the use of laugh tracks. He loves Seinfeld, though, but Seinfeld didn't only use laugh tracks. It was primarily filmed in front of a live audience. More like not a thing since internet porn. Does Gen Z even know what softcore porn is? Likely not. Tory seemed to know her karate before she first joined Cobra Kai. Jaws is a special case as it is PG but comes with an additional warning. There is no law to prevent kids from buying PG or PG-13 movies, but some cinemas and stores may set their own boundaries, I guess. There is an argument to be made that as the internet has given people more violence, gore and sex in abundance and easier accessibility than ever before, movies that don't include any of those elements just don't hold our interest anymore. It's ironic that the G rating has come to elicit a public bias similar to the NC-17 (formerly X) aka 18, and movies with a G carry marketing problems similar to movies attached to the latter rating; parents don't want to take their kids to see NC-17 movies because they're too adult and they don't want to take them to see G-rated movies because there is nothing adult. The MPAA in the U.S. also rates all Disney movies PG now. They seem to have retired the G rating (intended for all audiences) for the most part.
