Who is right here? (clue, it is me!)

[DHIsClearlyWrong]

MNers, please settle a (lighthearted!) argument by saying I am right obvs

DH have a thing where if we are watching a film or hear a song we each guess which year it was from and whoever is closest "wins" (I can't believe I'm actually writing this )

Currently watching Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure (even more embarrassing ). DH said 1986. I guessed it was made in 1991. (DH insists that I add here he then said "no it was the 80s"...)

So who was closer? I maintain I am as I was two years away whilst DH was three years away. He maintains he is right as he said 80s whilst I said a date in the 90s.

So settle argument for us, please. We are currently not being excellent to each other

Definitely 90s as I remember seeing it and was just a wee teen when I did!

Closest wins DP can't pick a range!

You are right. Hope that helps, MrClearlyWrong.

Ah no! It was 1989 so he's right! Sorry!

It was 1989 - you're right, unless you were guessing the decade - although then presumably he'd have said 80s and u would have said 90s rather than specific years

You’re right. Obvs!

We had this exact same discussion and looked and the film is 1989.

We're watching it now.

I’m actually pretty sure it was very late 80’s, possibly 89.

X posted with the world!

Yours is closest, you are right. CF, trying to swing it with a decade range...

Tie break with Bogus Journey ;)

Shit I left out the relevant info that it was actually made in 1989 and that's why we are arguing

Thanks for replies so far, I knew I was right

The fact that this is an argument has saddened me. Forget this debate and remember the philosophy of "be excellent to each other"

Then party on dudes.

And we definitely weren't guessing in decades, but specific years. Therefore I am right. Obvs.

Party on dudes!!

I like you user ** Great minds party on!

You, you definitely you...Gold star OP

Your right because your closest! Obviously, otherwise let's say in was made in 1980 you could say 79 and your Dh 89, and he would be right which is clearly ridiculous. Or you could say 1899 and your dh 1999 and if it was 1901 using your the method he would be more right.

You're right. Also thanks that you're indoors on this lovely day because I'm watching it too feeling hungover and a bad mother.

You are both right. You got the closest year, he got the decade.

Now shake hands and don't be medieval dickweeds.

He is VVVVVU

1980 is the 80s but doesn't mean it is closer just because it's in the same decade

TheDish thank you! I have just had the following exchange based on your logic...(The Shining was made in 1980)

Me: "So for example, The Shining. If I said it was 1979 and you said 1989 would you be right then based on your logic as your decade was correct even though you were miles out and I was obviously closer?"
DH "But I wouldn't say it was 1989 as I know it was 1980. Clearly everyone would actually know The Shining was 1980"

This is what I'm up against!

Is this not what google /IMDb is for took more time to post a thread in here

Foof well surely you could read TWFT or even, you know, not waste your own time commenting when you have misunderstood...

"Read TWFT"? Do I mean RTFT?

They're making a new Bill and Ted.

We just looked because we couldn't think of anything else Alex Winter was in other than the Bill and Ted films and The Lost Boys.

And it said that Bill and Ted Face The Music is in pre-production now.
