@travis_5head2 @othingstodo_com That teenagers now resist getting their licenses is wild to me. We were GONE. School, jobs, friends’ houses, shopping, stopping somewhere on the way home …no one was keeping tabs/tracking us.

Burt Lancaster passed away OTD in 1994. Lancaster was the first star to have his name placed on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. 'Moonlight' Graham in Field of Dreams (1989) was his final role. Ray Liotta's, 'Hey, Rookie. You were good,' still sends tingles down the spine.

On the back of this thread, I got the opportunity to write about the desperate lack of books for teen boys in @thebookseller. Massive thanks to @mollyflatt for letting me write on an issue I'm hugely passionate about. Link: tinyurl.com/3mwnrczs

The reason your brain associates them this way is because of the artwork of Alan Lee and John Howe for Tolkien’s writing. It’s easy to see why they chose these styles. They also worked on designs for the Jackson LOTR trilogy. Hence why we all just seem to “know” which is which.
