Makes more sense than what I thought was going on, I thought they were doing experiments to find out where tornados go when they disappear.

Since the productions I'm currently working on features Ben Giroux and Garret Clayton, this video has been making the rounds at work and seems appropriate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcUG8GYbrxM Sorry if it's not really from the 90s.

Was going through the drawers in my childhood bedroom and found these: Hackey sacks bought with Pepsi points. If that's not one of the most '90's things, I don't know what is.

Wow, that image immediately put one of the old TV ads in my head. A guy says "I haven't zipped my fly in years," then talks about the button fly, and advises viewers against pitching it the same way that he did. "You shouldn't go up to someone and say 'Hey, I don't zip my fly!' It's not the best way to start a conversation."

JediTalentAgent posted:For some reason the mid 70s up through the early 90s had a real nostalgia boom for the 1930s-1950s, generally, with the 80s having more additional focus on the 60s and the 90s on the 1970s. For some reason I thought the 80s passed on being nostalgic for 20 years ago that every other decade does. Are there any prominent examples of nostalgia for the 60s from the 80s?

To a degree. It's sort of hard because it sort of gets a bit unromantic about the whole thing, so it might just be a lot of revisiting. In the 80s we started to get a lot of the revisiting of the Vietnam War in various media with a number of movies coming out in the decade about that, as well as some of the 60s civil rights movement subject matter. Hairspray was set in that early pre-Beatles America 60s (which probably gets considered as more a 50s thing). Withnail and I was set in the late 60s. The Beatles, themselves, were starting to get a bit of a pop culture resurgence, as well. There were fairly popular documentaries just on them with things like the Imagine documentary, The Complete Beatles Documentary, a Sgt. Peppers documentary. The Wonder Years was a show set in the 60s that was pretty popular at the time. For the last part of the 80s there seemed to be a lot of chatter every so often of "20 years since the Summer of Love", "Twenty Years Since Woodstock". The Monkees even had a big return to TV, as well as a reunion and a series of videos. We even had this: http://www.nytimes.com/1986/11/20/arts/tv-review-showtime-stages-trial-of-lee-harvey-oswald.html A mock 5 hour trial for Lee Harvey Oswald.

The 80s before the fall of the Berlin wall were tense geopolitically and I remember my childhood having a lot of references to the nuclear '50s in a kind of "haha remember when we were optimistic and thought we could duck and cover our way through an atom bomb, unlike now when we know they were fools and we are gonna die" way

I didn't care for the shock-for-shock's-sake side of Rotten, but the Gaping Maw (which was uncredited but almost certainly written by Tristan Farnon, who created the seminal early webcomic Leisure Town and still posts as Spigot from Jerkcity) was absolutely hilarious (albeit in a way that would get quite the stern finger-wagging in 2018), and the Rotten Library really won me over with its research, breadth of subjects, and surprisingly humane core.

I know this is from a year ago, but thank you! I remember watching this in Australia as a kid! My friends had fallen asleep, and this had come on after the movie we'd been watching. The ghost on the TV got me so scared that for years, I refused to sleep without shielding my head from the TV in my bedroom. It's laughable now, but man, it's the music that's really unsettling.

Ha, that Toys R Us was the one we used to go to when I was a kid. I didn't hear about the haunting story until years later and, unsurprisingly, every time I hear the story it's totally different.

I remember back in the late 90s the biggest Transformers site on the web was transfan.net. I havent checked if that url still goes to a transformers site.
