I watched the last one today. Anyway, as James Franco's character rushes up the school depository steps to stop Lee Harvey Oswald from assassinating JFK, I noticed the graffiti on the wall said REDRUM. Oh, cute, I think, little Stephen King Easter Egg there. (since the story is a Stephen King book adaptation) My daughter wandered through and I pointed it out. Somehow we got into a conversation about it and she said most young people (to her meaning young twenty year olds) would not know what that referred to. I was astounded. Of course people know! I said. It's iconic! She said no and would poll her young co workers today at work to see if they recognized it. She just texted me saying that so far, 30% did, meaning 70% had no clue. Interesting. I thought everyone knew that little pop culture phrase and it's meaning/origin.
Well Isn't REDRUM form the shining? a 1980 movie? That's 38 years ago I can't believe you doubted your daughter.
Kids don't care about OLD ass movies like that.
I would have agreed with your daughter because I have grand kids 17 and 21 and I'm always having to explain what things mean. Like......
