Ah, to reminisce over the good old days of 2007. Not a problem in the world. Remember watching Youtube in 360p on a regular basis and thinking the quality was great? You probably watched a VHS in the 2000s. That's right. You probably did. Definitely a DVD too. Maybe you even downloaded a movie on iTunes. Television static.

“The sun during midday will light up the dark night. Night dreams of day. Light dreams of darkness.
But the ignorant sun will chase away the darkness... and burn the shadows, eventually burning itself!
The shade of the tree with the flowers that bloom at night is where the residents of darkness rest.
The people of daytime are not allowed!"

Road To Perdition Dir. Sam Mendes
Points: 370
“I saw then that my father's only fear was that his son would follow the same road.
And that was the last time I ever held a gun.
People always thought I grew up on a farm.
And I guess, in a way, I did.
But I lived a lifetime before that, in those six weeks on the road in the winter of 1931.
When people ask me if Michael Sullivan was a good man,
or if there was just no good in him at all,
I always give the same answer.
I just tell them... he was my father.”
