I.e. in 1999, last five years would have been 94-99, 2010 would be 05-10 etc. Basically would have been relevant to the earlier years but now results in a decades long gap.

General media consumption habit: having been burned by ongoing manga and cancelled TV series in my youth, in the last four years or so my focus has been on complete/finished stuff, which tends to be older. My usual joke is ~~I only read books by dead people~~. This kinda extended to film since it's easier to follow the filmography of actors and directors from decades ago, rather than trying to keep current with or wait for new projects. Ease of access isn't so much an issue nowadays but certainly laid the foundation years ago, as well--PBS Classic Movie Night and Svengoolie were two of my old Saturday evening haunts. andri_g posted...
