I feel as though I was born about 70 years too late..

Badass things that were around pre-WWII that I wish were a bigger part of my life:
1.

A) Typewriters
-Better than computers based on the fact that anyone using one is autocool. Apparently, I'm not autocool by using my Macbook ;_; Plus, every person within a 5 block radius knows when you are using one of these bad boys. TAK TAK TAK TAK TAK TAK TAK DDDIIIIINNNNNNGGGGG

2.

B) Film Noir
-Violence. Dames. Guns. Beautiful Dames. Dark Alleyways. Really Gorgeous Dames. Corruption. Manipulative Really Gorgeous Dames. What more do you really need?

3.

C) The Style.
-They had the coolest styles back then. I wish I were half as cool as Humphry Bogart or Fred MacMurray or dated anyone as beautiful as Marylin Monroe or Ingrid Bergman... Good god. I'm getting the vapors...


I can just imagine myself: hunched over a typewriter, writing some new screenplay or something. Lit cigarette in my mouth. Hand relieving tension from my furrowed brow. Ingrid walks in the room.
"[Witty line from vintage times laced with vintage slang]"
"[Witty retort laced with sexual inuendo]"
"[Ultrawitty, Ultrasexual comment]" Exits room.

Perfect example (from the film Double Indemnity):
There's a speed limit in this state, Mr. Neff. Forty-five miles an hour.
How fast was I going, officer?
I'd say around ninety.
Suppose you get down off your motorcycle and give me a ticket.
Suppose I let you off with a warning this time.
Suppose it doesn't take.
Suppose I have to whack you over the knuckles.
Suppose I bust out crying and put my head on your shoulder.
Suppose you try putting it on my husband's shoulder.
That tears it.

Best. Dialog. Ever.
