All true, but at least with STAR WARS you have a film that is popular
with people of all ages. I don't think the same is true with BRIDGE
OVER THE RIVER KWAI.

Huh? I loved that movie as a kid.

Yes, but back then it was a new movie.

No, it wasn't. That movie was produced long before I was born.

Now it's a really old movie and it seems most young people don't pay a
lot of attention to older movies.

Right now, Star Wars is a hell of a lot older than Bridge was when I
first saw it.
