The Age of Aquarius Three movies in one day. Three "Age of Aquarius" references.
[More:]I got Miss Marxchivist some DVDs for Christmas I thought she might enjoy. We spent the day Saturday in our PJs watching them and gorging on pizza courtesy of a gift card from her work. A great day! But now it gets weird: we watched The 40 Year Old Virgin, The Sure Thing, and Valley Girl.

All three movies referenced "The Age of Aquarius."

Please explain.

Oh, and I now have I Melt With You stuck in my brain.
Moon's in the seventh house, dude.

40 year old zeitgeist?

I actually looked to see if the moon is in the seventh house and didn't have much luck. I think it may have been earlier this month, I don't really understand all that stuff.

I also found out the guy who played the Valley Girl's hippy dad played the character Chef in Apocalypse Now. That was driving me crazy. If I learn anything else today I may have to do something stupid to make up for it.

I remember watching the movie version of Hair when it came out, well probably a year later on HBO, and thinking that it looked like dusty ancient history even though it was only set ten years earlier. Would a movie set in 1998 look that different than 2008?

I was messing around on the internet today and found out that Sam Bottoms, who played Lance The Surfer in Apocalypse Now, died just a week ago.

You were trying to make me learn something so I'd do something stupid. But I already knew that, so it doesn't count.
