Also when watching the One hit Wonderland on Ah-Ha and his played, i was "hey i recognize that song!". It was part of the Sunday Night show I'd always listen to that played stuff from the 70s and 80s. KHLAV KALASHNIKOV posted:It was... A Thing, sure, and I will not open that link because it opens a portal to, well, not hell, but probably a truck stop in purgatory Yea it was the first time I watched the actual video and felt myself being drawn into some dark portal.

A-ha always was a better band than Duran Duran, and it blew my mind when I went to Europe the first time and found out they never stopped making music.

Related, Living Daylights is one of the best Bond movies. It has everything you want, crazy gadgets, car chases, goes all over the world, high class, multiple great action set pieces and final showdown is fantastic. Dalton was a great Bond and what's wrong with Joe Don Baker as a stolen valor rear end in a top hat arms dealer?uber_stoat posted:speaking of rocks... for the longest time I thought my memories of these things were a fever dream or nightmare but it turns out they actually existed and I probably had one of the rock monsters. What the gently caress is that rock thing??? A toy I loved was ARmy Ants https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYi0vNUmdQs basically just green army men but with an Ant gimmick. They kind of reminded me of Battle Beasts now I think about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CL4zNgZPPHw Did you know in Japan these are part of Transformers? That's just odd.

Timothy dalton was like proto Craig. His first movie has the whole teaming up with mujahideen thing, but the second has Wayne Newton as a cult leader and an early benefit del toro roll, so it’s a wash

I adore the bad Bond movies as much as the good ones. At least until the 90s, for some reason the camp stops being so enjoyable in the Brosnan period.

Not strictly 80's tech but it existed then, drove a few cars with heads up displays and I have no clue why that's not mandatory in ever car, it takes all the guess work out of "am I speeding", and your eyes never leave the road. 240sx hud:

I would have thought the same thing if not for hearing a bit of the chorus sampled in a 1990 Brand Nubian track.

Back in 1989 or whatever, the rumour was that Tone Loc and Young MC were brothers. I could look that up on wikipedia right now and verify (probably did once already some time), but can't be arsed to do so.

Todd also points out that through the 80s, Rap and Hip hop were very very nitch and it took stuff like these to bring it more into the mainstream. Why I get annoyed when movies that take place in the 80s made today have suburban white kids listening to it as just a thing they listen to.
