That's pretty cool, and I remember this being mentioned a few times at parties but it went over many people's heads (mostly arrogant Millennials).

This is definitely more relevant than that stupid AF "Mandela Effect"

This is the first I’m learning if this and I see I’m not there yet, but I would like to congratulate you on your crossing.

Brimley was only fifty, but I'm sixty-six and in "Cocoon" he looks older than me. Dude was born old.

This is hilarious.

It's amazing how young Brimley actually was in the movie. He's barely out of his 40s but playing a senior citizen.

I guess some guys just get old fast and then stay that way. Robert Duvall is another.
