Moo what?
Y.: Hi. Got a question for you.
S.: Shoot.
Y.: Is this any good?
S.: Blue Juice?
Y.: Yeah. I've never heard of it before, but --
S.: But it's got Catherine Zeta-Jones in it, so it must be good, right?
Y.: Well, she was really great in Entrapment.
S.: Uh-huh. But you've never heard of this movie.
Y.: No.
S.: Want to know why?
Y.: Why?
S.: Because it was made seven years ago, that's why.
Y.: But it's a new release!
S.: Right. That's because it was rereleased by the studio to cash in on Zeta-Jones's current popularity. And Ewan McGregor's, too.
Y.: I knew he looked familiar. He's the guy from A Life Less Ordinary!
S.: Yeah, and a little modern classic called Moulin Rouge.
Y.: Moo what?
S.: Never mind. Look -- how old are you?
Y.: Twenty.
S.: Okay, what you need to do is find other movies you haven't heard of, but nothing made after 1978. That's where the true greatness of movies lies. Between, say, 1961 and 1978.
Y.: Yeah, but those are old.
S.: Blue Juice is old. What's your favorite movie?
Y.: Mission: Impossible 2.
S.: Uh-huh. Look, in twenty years, would you watch it?
Y.: Yeah.
S.: Okay. Now go find Papillon or The Sting and don't come back up here without them. I'm not renting you anything modern today.
Y.: Look, you --
S.: Next.
