Pearl Harbor: the Transition Year

So, that movie “Pearl Harbor” was on AMC and i was like, i haven’t seen this in forever. Needless to say, I watched it. As i watched Josh Hartnett stand up in slow-motion while his hawaiian shirt fluttered in the breeze, I remembered just how overdone this movie was. I remembered alot of things as i watched the movie.

Pearl Harbor (2001)

Ben Affleck was considered one of People’s Sexiest Men Alive

Ben Affleck was a major character in a movie where his future wife (Jennifer Garner) was a minor character.

It was before people began meshing the names of people together just because they were dating (i.e. Bennifer, Brangelina, etc..)

You were allowed to accompany your friends, family, anyone up to the boarding gate at the airport and could even carry nail clippers with you!

Leonardo Di Caprio was still skinny

Josh Hartnett was a rising star

I was caught in my first riot at school

Shia LeBouf was Luis Stevens in “Even Stevens”-pre the plasticky Zac Effron and Vanessa Hudgens

“Friends” was still the number 1 sitcom on primetime

Bill Clinton’s statement “it depends on what the defintion of what is is” was the biggest controversy

Chad was the name of my favorite stoner not something that hung from voting ballots

Tom Cruise was married to Nicole Kidman and did not use couches as jungle-gyms(atleast not in public)

Some people still didn’t know who Orlando Bloom was

Heath Ledger belonged with Julia Stiles

Greenday was a band about music not politics

everyone remembered the Titans

The “Texas 7″ caught because of that show “America’s Most Wanted”

and then, of course, September 11th changed almost everything. So, i wasn’t trying to get nostalgic but it just kind of happened so here is a link to probably the dumbest thing on youtube. I think one of the kids barely speaks english so here ju go! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcbqpABZAVY&feature=related
