Oldifying

Part family video; and part police line-up with this one. Lots of the sister's kids being kids when they were kidlike - paired with slow mo comparisons of the classic and up to date Blazers Bunch (at least 4 of the BB).

The most interesting part of this production is probably the short section that appears at the front end of the reel. Right off the top. Before we've even sat down. Don't arrive late or you'll miss a chance to play the role of a time traveler. (I prefer the H. G. Wells story.) We've jammed some classic old footage of four Blazer members, up tight against some modern day camcorder footage of those same four Blazers (glad I stayed out of it) that was captured during a recent Blazer reunion in the Kitsilano area. (Missing: Evert/Dougie).

More than 30 years have elapsed between the earlier and later Blazer shots, but... who could tell! I mean! Really! Even after all that time, it's clear to see that not even the most minor change in appearance is evident on the mugs of our favorite neighborhood gang. It's like they haven't aged a week since 1975. Like they're still teenagers. Like the passage of time has ceased to proceed in a normal fashion and has instead halted any progress related to oldifying! At least that's what it says here in the press release.
