I want to see your face, not how much you spent on an accessory I don't even give a shit about. The black guy next door can often be caught wearing berets. My old dorm was bathed in fugly yellow light, but my new dorm has harsh white fluorescent tubes. Huzzah. Fun facts:

Well, except for the wood paneling, and Jon Voight. I’m trying to figure out the differences between “movies in the seventies” and the way things are today… and failing.

Why a shot of Christopher Walken in DEAD ZONE (1983)? And Jon Voight a sex symbol in the 70s? Hardly. The shot there is from a 60s film (Midnight Cowboy), which is essentially about a bum who has to whore himself out to men because women won't sleep with him. And his only starring roles in the 70s were The Odessa File, Coming Home and The Champ. More like Robert Redford or Burt Reynolds... but more Redford. Couple of bloopers there.
