things we need a word for

The sensation of watching a movie that you'd found hilarious in 1973 but now discover is not very funny.

It would have been precipitous indeed to have laughed at a film in 1973 that wasn't made until four years later.

Besides, NH held up well when I found it a few years ago.

I had this experience with The Sleeper (1973), fwiw.

Sorry, that should be Sleeper.
