I would believe that you are a wise old soul more if you did any of the following:
1. Realize that Andromeda and Cassiopeia are constellation, and there fore have great depth, and are not a single destination.
2. Realize that you spelled Cassiopeia wrong.
3. Realize that constellations are made of stars, and stars are uninhabitable.
4. Realize that the closest star in either of those constellations is light years away, and that it will take a very long time to get there.
Correction #1: Stars do not have planets HOVERING around them, they ORBIT.
Correction #2. Andromeda is a constellation. I think you may be thinking of the Andromeda Galaxy (aka M31), which is a completely different object all together. You have missed my point: constellations do not represent a unified point in space, and this is even more true with galaxies. The Andromeda Galaxy contains about one trillion stars, most of which have their own system of planets. My point was that you could hardly be less specific than him.
YES I REALIZE I SPELT THEREFORE WRONG! IT WAS A TYPO!
wow – I bet if someone explained that “he was the voice of Timone from the Lion King.” it would be the “Aaahhh…” moment … not all of the other stuff he was famous for.
Billy Crystal was Mike Wazowski in Monsters, Inc.
Calcifer in Howl’s Moving Castle
Dr. Ben Sobel in Analyze This/That
Miracle Max in Princess Bride
Plus his work with Whoopi Goldberg and Robin Williams to help the homeless through Comic Relief (which is possibly what he’s best known for and the reason the Academy keeps calling on him).
Really people know him for comedy relief / I’m glad for that I know him for hosting the Academy awards, and the rest of that AND “When Harry Met Sally”
TC, in their minds Beiber is a musical genius, Twilight is the height of movie brilliance, and J.K Rowlings is author to the gods.
They will never know the like of Hendrix, Belushi (John, not Jim), or Sam Kinison. Not to mention the comic timing of Moe, Larry, and Curly (not Shemp, not Curly Joe, not Joe Besser and definitely not the upcoming Three Stooges movie – Snooki? really?). Only the fact that books are being offered as Ebooks leaves me with hope.
Forgive them their ignorance.
You’ve listed the opposite of what the majority of what is in “their minds”. Wow. We hate Bieber (or is it Beiber?) and Twilight, and those of us that read J.K. Rowling read all sorts of books by all sorts of great authors, including Rowling. I will forgive you that you will never know the great musicians and authors of the future. Do you seriously think I want to listen to your sh*t rock music and your crude and immature Three Stooges?
You want some recent movie brilliance? Inception. The Artist. King’s Speech. All Pixar movies.
You want authors to the gods? John Green. Neil Gaiman. Michael Chichton.Susan B. Pfefer (don’t tell me that I spelled that wrong… I did not).
You will never know of The Greats: John Green (author), Hans Zimmer (composer), Black Swan (film)… I’ll forgive you for your god damned ignorance. All the f*cking older generation will think the younger ones are going corrupt.
hey dude, i’m 26 and still a child at heart. we’re offered a very small sampling of what ‘kids these days’ are reading, listening to, and talking about, and all on the internet where sometimes the whole point is to poke fun at other people. hans zimmer was composing music before you were born, he is not of your generation, he is actually of the billy crystal time period. he’s just carried over very successfully.
the point is…these girls automatically flock to twitter and other social networks instead of thinking and researching. (and yes i saw your comment below on how they didn’t use google.) perhaps they were using twitter as their google – there are no comments to these posts that suggests their thoughts going one way or the other.
and i will point out you just lumped all of us old folks into one barrell like you just cursed us for doing to you. guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
He was the voice of Calcifer in Howl’s Moving Castle, AND he played Miracle Max in The Princess Bride. Also, It was Nathan Lane who was the voice of Timone in The Lion King, not Billy Crystal.
I love Soap! It’s way before my time seeing as the show itself is 35 years old, but my aunt introduced it to me when I was 10 when she found all the seasons on dvd. I loved it and it’s a shame it never got the chance to continue. I think this all depends on what you’re brought up around, if your family shows you tv shows or artists previous decades you’re bound to know who they are. Although I agree, there is a thing as google.
i think mike was directing his comment at the idiot females who don’t know who billy crystal is, not julia. and i know what you meant, but laurence olivier was a whole different generation. probably it’s more like asking who robin williams is.
These are probably the same dumb children who don’t know who Paul McCartney is and are somehow surprised that popular culture existed before they existed.
Members of the oder generation who assume the younger generations corrupt and ignorant are dooming themselves for a miserable life of pessimism. Niether do we listen to the music as you did, nor do we read the same books, or watch the same films. However, you assume that just because these pieces of media differ from the pieces of media offered and distributed during your youth, they must be inferior than the aforementioned media of your youth; this is simply not the case. As a fourteen year old, I am told constantly that I have to appreciate “the greats” of my parents generation; do you appreciate “the greats” of your parents generation? If we never accepted new artists, if we always had to appreciate and think back to “the good old days”, we would always end up reading the same books, listening to the same music, and watching the same movies (not to mention using the same memes). Think of it this way: did you know who Queen Elizabeth I was when you were born? Of course not. In the same way that you did not know who Paul McCartney, or Billy Crystal was at the time of your birth, these girls did not know either. The difference is here: during your life, you were digitally surrounded by Billy Crystal. These girls were not. In that case, how can you call these girls stupid? It is the same mistake as thinking Shakespeare is stupid for not knowing of Billy Crystal: he simply wasn’t alive at the right time.
On behalf of my generation (of which I am an exemplary example), I am requesting an apology for assuming that we are ignorant and stupid (specifically to those of us who are not ignorant and stupid), and a change of heart so you can live and die knowing that you will pass the world into good hands.
Not only are these people too dumb to know ho billy crystal is, they’re too dumb to google it to find out on their own instead of broadcasting their idiocy over the internet
Your point was that your generation doesn’t know Billy Crystal. Sad, yet forgivable. The fact that they can’t take two seconds to look it up, instead of asking over twitter and bringing attention to the fact they don’t know? That’s what tends to make us think they’re ignorant. Research. The internet is at the tips of your fingers!
These people all fail.
I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.
Take me with you…please.
Our lizard friends from the moon will be happy to oblige!
Allied Spaceways now boarding, destinations Andromeda, Casseopaeia, and points outward.
All Aboard!

Did you know stars could have planets hovering around them?
Also Andromeda is a Galaxy.
Correction #1: Stars do not have planets HOVERING around them, they ORBIT.

Do you still have a free seat?
*headdesk*
Ack…..do you want a cast list from all the amazingness that is Billy Crystal? who could NOT know who he is?
seriously? don’t these people ever look anything up before they open their mouths?
touche!
It’s twitter dude…what did you expect?
Twitter, populations: Twits?
“Thank you for bringing up such a painful memory. While you’re at it, why don’t you give me a nice papercut and poor lemon juice on it.”
^That
i just read that in his voice. Princess bride rules.
POOR lemon juice??? Stay In School.
I weep for this generation…
wow – I bet if someone explained that “he was the voice of Timone from the Lion King.” it would be the “Aaahhh…” moment … not all of the other stuff he was famous for.
Fail. He was not in Lion King. That was Nathan Lane.
Fail. Nathan Lane voiced Timon.
ahhh… Nathan Lane did Timone..
He was Mike Wazowski from Monsters Inc though.
Um. That was Nathan Lane, not Billy Crystal.
Billy Crystal was Mike Wazowski in Monsters, Inc.
Calcifer in Howl’s Moving Castle
Dr. Ben Sobel in Analyze This/That
Miracle Max in Princess Bride
Plus his work with Whoopi Goldberg and Robin Williams to help the homeless through Comic Relief (which is possibly what he’s best known for and the reason the Academy keeps calling on him).
I can keep going…
Really people know him for comedy relief / I’m glad for that I know him for hosting the Academy awards, and the rest of that AND “When Harry Met Sally”
He was also in When Harry Met Sally.
Inb4BetterlovethanTwilight
Yes ! Calcifer ! Good one.
Except he WASN’T Timon in THE LION KING–that was Nathan Lane.
Try Miracle Max in THE PRINCESS BRIDE.
This is why teenagers shouldn’t be allowed to do anything, ever.
^^
*headgun*
He is someone who actually KNOWS how to host an awards show, UNLIKE Captain Sucktastic aka James Franco.
And every one of them is an idiotic child who knows nothing about true comedy.
TC, in their minds Beiber is a musical genius, Twilight is the height of movie brilliance, and J.K Rowlings is author to the gods.
They will never know the like of Hendrix, Belushi (John, not Jim), or Sam Kinison.

OMG are you kidding me?!?! *facepalm*
He was the voice of Calcifer in Howl’s Moving Castle, AND he played Miracle Max in The Princess Bride. Also, It was Nathan Lane who was the voice of Timone in The Lion King, not Billy Crystal.
That might work Diego…Except for the fact that Nathan Lane actually voiced Timone in the Lion King.
Someone needs to show these “younguns” The Princess Bride, When harry met sally or City Slickers or something…c’mon
Ah, City Slickers…those were the days. I love those movies.
Aw Den you beat me to it! lol
They have Twitter but not the capacity to Google a question rather than Tweet it out into cyber space… They clearly deserve to be ridiculed for this.
And….Of course…..Jody on Soap. I’m sure none of this children have even seen the show. One of the funniest shows ever on TV
I love Soap! It’s way before my time seeing as the show itself is 35 years old, but my aunt introduced it to me when I was 10 when she found all the seasons on dvd. I loved it and it’s a shame it never got the chance to continue.

Typical women for you.
Back in the cage, Mike.
Mike: I’m a woman and I hate Soap Operas. Gimme a good Comedy, Drama, or especially an Action movie! By the way, it is Timon without the e.
Also…..I don’t want to live on this planet any more. That’s like asking who’s Lawrence Olivier.
i think mike was directing his comment at the idiot females who don’t know who billy crystal is, not julia. and i know what you meant, but laurence olivier was a whole different generation. probably it’s more like asking who robin williams is.
i just got real depressed
real fast
Can these girls all be morons? Probably yes.
F*CK IT, I’M GOING TO PLUTO.
These are probably the same dumb children who don’t know who Paul McCartney is and are somehow surprised that popular culture existed before they existed.

Billy Crystals twitter profile says “You should know me by now”
https://twitter.com/#!/BillyCrystal
Not only are these people too dumb to know ho billy crystal is, they’re too dumb to google it to find out on their own instead of broadcasting their idiocy over the internet
Read my reply to fatbottmdgirl above: it applies to you, too.

these kids – off my lawn, they must get
Have fun storming the castle!
