You would think though if he was living in the US or Canada, he would at least make a more up-to-date pop reference than Rambo or Terminator. If he was living in the west, he would probably at least cite Mr. Robot or some "betrayed" hero like Jason Bourne.

As the OP points out, this may suggest his age. I'm in my mid 30s and I have no idea what Mr. Robot is, but I certainly do know who Rambo and Terminator are.

Total tangent, but I can't recommend Mr. Robot enough, especially to the HN crowd. It is about a group of anarchists hackers that are trying to take down a global conglomerate. It might be the first critically acclaimed TV show/movie that goes out of its way to make sure the tech they talked about is accurate. You will see it as early as the pilot episode when two of the main characters debate the merits of their favorite Linux distros. And they do it in such a way that it is entertaining to both the people who know what they are talking about while not alienating the common folks who just hear it as technobabble.

I just warn you shouldn't read too much up on the show beforehand because there a lots of twists and turns in the first season that you won't want ruined.

Mr Robot is an excellent TV show [0], I highly recommend it.

He doesn't have kids. Before I had kids I had no idea what kids liked. Watched Batman, Lord of The Rings, but I still couldn't tell you who cool teenagers looked up to.
