Born in the 80s crowd (previously known as the 30s thread)

LOL. I wish. With kids and needing sleep, it's just not in the cards for me.

 

My ex never threw anything out. It was all potentially future artwork.

 

Finished Stranger Things. Loved it. My wife was really into it too. Looking forward to season 2.

 

COFFEE AND CONTEMPLATION!

 

This is more of a '60s kid thing, but I discovered Thunderbirds in the '90s and was mesmerized. I always loved filming with scale models like the old mega-monster movies. I used to watch Thunderbirds at my grandparent's house and built my own T-Birds with Legos. The series has been rebooted, is filmed in New Zealand, still utilizes scale models with the help of CGI. The reboot carries on the tradition of heavily detailed sets, blockbuster style story lines, and over the top music. The series is decent entertainment for parents and kids; especially if you were into the original Thunderbirds. There's also merchandising, so kids no longer have to build their own Tracy Island and Thunderbirds. My kid is earning each Thunderbird by good efforts at school, home, and sports. The show is available on Amazon Prime:

I prefer the old one. Now it just looks like a Rescue Heroes movie. It doesn't quite have the same feel.

 

The networks are really mining their classics the last few years. I see there's a MacGyver reboot now too.

 

Same. But it's good to share a mutual fandom with my kid.

 

If only it were easier to come up with original content than dig into the vault.

 

We'll see a Happy Days and an Andy Griffith reboot next, at this rate.

 

Fortunately, it's unlikely that the Cosby Show will get the reboot. Too far?

 

They probably tried to run with it, but it got shot down.

 

The Lethal Weapon TV show looks terrible. They also plan on remaking Jumanji.

 

It looks terrible.

 

Naturally.

 

I've almost givien up watching TV and movies because everyone is out of ideas.

 

The big problem is that people will pay to watch the regurgitated garbage that studios put out. I wish studios were more willing to take a risk and put in production some shows and movies that are original and creative. But there really isn't a reason to do so when they can spit out another movie about vampires and zombies and werewolves having romantic relationships with human beings.

 

Ahhhhh......the good ole days...some pics I saw today




Riding in the back of my dads truck for 2 hours to go camping was THE SHIT!!!!!! LOVED IT









When I was a kid I would sit on the floorboard of my moms 69 Mustang.....cuz it was warm. I'd play hot wheels down there while my mom drove.



WE HAD ZERO FUCKS TO GIVE!!!!



Wish I still had my lawn darts!

 

Agreed

 

I look back often and wonder "how in the hell am I still alive with all my appendages?" If my kids do 1/10 of the stuff I did, I will have no hair by age 40.
