I don't "live in the past" but I sure enjoy visiting it occasionally.

I try to spend a few minutes every day remembering things from my past as it has been proven that taking the time to remember the past keeps your brain sharper.
Heck, I still remember our address from when I was 6, 4113 S. Barker Rd. in Salt Lake City, UT and Ohms Law.
I am also a self professed video addict and have everything I need.
65" HD flat screen, full surround sound sound, dual tuner DVR and Internet connected Blu-Ray player and a pair of remotes both set to control everything so my wife has her own.
Though it might seem like we would fight over what to watch with dueling remotes it is actually the opposite, we argue over who's turn it is to FF through the commercials or pause when want to take a break.
Movie theaters and plays? Pffttt, haven't been to one in years.
Maybe twice since they closed the last of our close drive-in but it all boils down to the same thing for the wife and I, if we can't sit in our comfy chairs with snacks, alcoholic beverages, smoke, and have a pause button we ain't going with so much actual good entertainment to relax to for cheap right here at home.
Just for giggles and grins Netflicks has every episode of every season of the Rockford files with James Garner who just recently passed away.
Every episode had something that reminded me of the 70's, mostly the cars but other less tangible things that just made it an easy show to watch 2 or 3 episodes at a time.
I hope they eventually put Banacek up as we'll semi-binge watch that as well when we are not watching what the DVR 'series manager' has waiting for us most every evening.
Ya we have dinner in front the TV every night.
Just a note, I don't do daytime TV soaps, talk or game shows nor do I do anything 'reality' based or cartoons because a sharp mind is a terrible thing to waste.
Anyway I ramble, it must be time for a tall cocktail, smoke and the TV in my underwear ;-}
