It's exactly where I got it from. Did you want me to post all 10 tweets? Or condense it into a list like I did. The ahole is the guy who makes 10 different tweets out of it.

Now we’re lucky to get 1-2 so called blockbusters a year and you have to figure out where to stream it. So many good movies back in the day.

The Last Starfighter was/is awesome....surprised Hollywood hasn't remade/f'd that up with another version...

The early 80's were basically the same home video technolgy era as the 70's, except the average person had more spending money, so it was a good period for movie box office receipts.

Back then a lot of smart star actors negotiated points on the box office receipts, so some of them (and their agents) made out like bandits.
