iPhone came out while I was still in Middle School technically. I still got it! I'm still hip with the youths.
At the risk of interrupting some third-life angst, Boxoffice.com updated their long range forecast a few hours ago.
They have IT at $40M opening weekend and $100M total. That seems like pretty big lowball given how popular the trailer was on YouTube (I will ignore the record viewership largely based on social media autoplays).
Dunkirk got bumped back up to $55M opening weekend. I think that might be a bit high, but we'll see.

Oh thank god. Avoided sharing it.
Your birthday is canceled.
You didn't need a university email to register on Facebook and the Iphone was at least announced if not released.

August birthday GAF out in full force.
August 23rd here.

I was in fourth grade when the iPhone came out.
You graduated at the perfect time for Toy Story 3 to resonate the most.
I almost cried at the end of that movie.
Haven't seen it since it was in theaters though.

Fourth grade... Which is the US counterpart of the UK's year 5, which means you were... 9 or 10.
So I could be 1 month older than you to one year.
10, or whatever that is in London years

I was a few months shy of getting my M.Sc.
I am also old enough that Ontario was still making us go for a fifth year of high school if we wanted to attend university. So I graduated at 19 and was already legal drinking age. The fifth year was cut in 2003 in favour of full year Junior Kindergarten. Universities suffered pretty badly for about 5 years. If you were one of those unlucky 1984 to 1985 babies, you had twice the kids fighting over something like 1.3x the regular university placements.
I do miss the exclusive days of just university students
Pitching to get your school added to the system... Good times, good times
This was the hot stuff when I was in Junior High.
Can you play snake on it?

I somehow got in a while before they opened it to high school students because a friend insisted I get one.
And then I didn't actually use it until like a year after everyone else in high school was on it.

UK system is:
1. Primary (elementary) school - Reception (or year 0, not compulsory depending on local authority) then years 1-6. We finish at age 10 or 11.
2. Secondary (high) school - Years 7-11. Finish at age 15 or 16.
3. Sixth Form (or college) - Years 12-13. Finish at age 18 or 19.
4. University.
So I finished primary school and started secondary school the same year the iPhone released.

Here's how to make y'all feel really old:
This was the first movie I saw in cinemas.

I saw The Phantom Menace in theaters.

That was a thing? I wanna know. Can you show me?
I was far dumber than you when I was your age. Tips for being belatedly precocious?
EDIT: I guess step one is to know when not to respond to people

Supposedly the first movie I ever saw in theatres was Jurassic Park, but I'm not entirely sure I trust my parents' memory on that one, and I was certainly too young to remember.
The first movie I remember seeing in theatres was Toy Story.

Now you know why when people say CW casting i am like "You sweet summer child"
With a lot of you, the first movie I recall seeing was Jurassic Park. They may have took me to a Disney flick or two prior, but they didn't make me poop my pants!
Till I clicked the link, my dumbass thought that was a show about lesbians named Tarzan. It's unfair for a guy to have that majestic of hair.

TWO GREAT EPISODES
2 episodes....brah.
These kids binging entire seasons don't know how good they got it
LOL that came toward the end of the great Disney afternoons. It wasn't as good as Aladdin or even Hercules series.

They were very much the opposite of great, believe me
Tell me about it! I would've killed to have my favourite cartoons in their entirety at the click of a button.
Tarzan was the only Disney animated show (based on a movie) I was watching, as far as I remember. Hercules and Aladdin were... before my time. I think there was a Timon & Pumbaa show but I didn't watch it.
