FYI Bradley Cooper stars in the Hangover, now that we are sharing useless and obvious facts. The point is that those kind of irreverent movies were loved abroad so the current situation is not because the globalization of the audience, a thing which btw is 40 years old at the very least.

I just found it interesting how you called them modern, they were probably some of the comedies I would call modern, and then I looked and realized they basically predate the founding of Uber.

Those movies you mention weren't necessarily made to cater to foreign audiences, Hollywood may have always enjoyed making money from foreign audiences but the balance has largely shifted over the last several years to the point where foreign box offices and audiences come first and determine what films get made and their content, that's a big shift in my opinion.

> they basically predate the founding of Uber.

So anything before the smartphone era is what... not-modern, sorta-modern?

If the founding of Uber (2009?) is a milestone of some sort, man I feel ancient.

I should have used the creation of Bitcoin, the true cultural milestone on this board (January 2009).

That's an interesting choice.

Personally, I think I'd go with the release of the iPhone (June 2007).
