You see in that picture right there. Those men, they are employees of the gas station. And not only do they fill your gas tank, they also clean your windows and check you oil and tire pressure as part of an expected overall service of going to the gas station. It was a common and expected treatment by customers.

>>217495296
Boomers shit on everything. The film was made and acted by Boomers. Make more sense now?
>>
>>217495894
Now gas stations are places where I react like a TV-FBI agent who's doing a field test in front of everyone, dodging the bums who want a smoke and change and maybe more and also astro-scholars who just love to treat gas stations as their special club space, as I finally dive through hoops to pay as fast as possible (cash) to escape with my life.
Btw we are farther away from the 80s now than Marty was from the 50s then, and let me tell you since I was alive in the 80s--it was basically the 50s with few differences compared the farce of reality now.

Pretty much all of 1950-2005 was pretty good
had ups and downs but it was overall all pretty good

everything since about 2012 has been an absolute hellscape

Pretty sure everyone who has ever spoken English has said "that" quite a bit. It'd be hard to get along without it.

You lefties keep asking this because you can't possibly imagine a better time than the ever present NOW, and we keep giving you the same answer. Each decade has been worse than the last. More blacks, more browns, less whites, more ugliness, less beauty, less God, more devil worship, less masculinity, more fags, more poverty, more crime, less money, less Soul, more soullessness. It's really simple but you pretend to not understand because that's all you can do.

In 1985, that was a correct statement.

He never said that and was very happy when he returned to 1980s and saw a porn theater.

What's really wild is how much farther the nostalgia bait rabbit hole goes.
It's a Wonderful Life is nostalgia bait for the 20s.
The Andy Griffith show, despite ostensibly being set in the 60s is nostalgia bait for the 30s.

Both are wonderful time capsules I highly recommend if you want a glimpse of what America was like before...well... you know.
>>
>>217497039
I'm not the poster you're responding to, but the suggestion that people who have disdain for the past are progressives and people who view the past favourable are reactionary is a reasonable one, and you do seem to be pretending to not understand fairly obvious things.

And God bless it. I stop watching once it goes to color, thoughever, and Mayberry R.F.D. sucks. The 80s reunion flick on TV was good dough.

That is not the point of these movies, OP.

Well yeah, but the 90s were gay AIDS compared to the 80s.

They're covert parodies of Happy Days, Bladerunner, and the Dollars Trilogy, dressed up so audiences would treat them like serious movies

This experience still exists in Japan.
For all the economists decry their economic collapse, I found living conditions were very good over there and much closer to what we should be aiming for.

Ain't that the truth, at the time boomers thought the 80's were gritty though and were heavily invested in attending 50's diners and bringing back their childhoods
