This I can imagine. It wasn't so far in the past.
I visited the ducks yesterday. One of the old ones is still there. And there are about 10 ducks now. At least 5 male and 5 female. We fed them some oats. It was just me and Micro. The others were still asleep, lol.
We finished She-Hulk yesterday. It was so much fun.

About the movie, yes, I have a lot of memories, and the real speech of the prosecutor at the moment still gives me goosebumps. The actor did a really good job summoning the mystique of the moment. It is a historical landmark for us. Our own Nuremberg of sorts.
I am glad you and micro had a good time with the ducks. And, as I recommended it to you, I am super happy you enjoyed She-Hulk. The ending was hilarious.

@Dina.
About She-Hulk. I would never have watched this, if you hadn't recommended it. So really thank you. ;D I thought it would just be a dumb series about a female Hulk. Just as it is common to take a known male figure, let the same happen to a woman and wow, sexy and at the same time so ridiculous that you feel ashamed watching it, lol.
I loved how they played with all those clichés.
By the way, there is a funny German word meaning being ashamed or embarrassed in someone else's stead or better for someone else, so if they are not embarrassed, I feel embarrassed for them: fremdschämen.
I think it is a rather recent invention, meaning only a few years old, 2 decades at most.
We Germans are famous for putting together known words in a new combination to give them more overall meaning, lol. This is what happened here.
fremd= foreign
schämen= to be ashamed or embarrassed
Edit: it is officially included in the Duden (THE German dictionary) since 2009.
Once something is in the Duden, it is an official word.

Hi Regen! We have the same expression (but with 2 words) at least since I was a child, I do not know if it existed before. It is to feel "vergüenza ajena". which is literally "shame from others", in the sense of "belonging to others".
I am glad you liked it. And those reasons you mentioned are one of the reasons I never read a She-Hulk comic (the main reason though was that I was never a fan of the original Hulk in the first place. Not in the comics. I did watch the TV show when I was a small child).
I began watching (episode 1/8 so far) an old show which is an spin-off of other show I watched before. The original one was called The Bletchley Circle and it is a fiction loosely inspired by the real life work of Alan Turin and his group as code breaker. This show was about female code breakers, her job and how they were dismissed in their everyday lives, as they could not tell what they were doing. In the show they began solving crimes after the war, with their talent to detect patterns and their logical mind. And the spin off I am watching now, Bletchley Circle San Franciso is about two of those women who join two American women to solve a serial killer case (or more, I am not sure yet). I am liking it so far.
