mysterywhylay Reviewed by mysterywhylay on 07-08-2004. 80's Ok. So what was so great about the 80's? I was a small child in the 80's. But I remember some things about it. And I'm really into collecting stuff from the era. I love all of the brat pack movies. And I'm into the 80's music and clothing. Yeah I just came out of the closet with that one lol. But i'm not into the big hair. Anway anyone else find that they are particularily fond of the era? Rating: 5

Hey, Mysterywhylay, the guys in Duran Duran were HOT! Give me Simon Le Bon in full make up anyday! I don't think you have anything to be ashamed of. Have you seen Robert Smith of the Cure, lately? They have a new video and he is still wearing the full face of white make up, red lips, and eyeliner! You'd think he'd be over it, by now...Besides, I have a friend who admits to once sporting the Flock of Seagulls hair cut! Now, there is just NO excuse for that one.

ahhh the 80's i was just a kid yet loved the cartoons I just got my daughter a huge stawberry shortcake doll she loves has no idea who she is but it was more for me anyways. what was the cartoon where there where animals that turned into a big robot when you snapped the toys together? was that tundercats! that was a good one too. i guess what i remember the most is this retro shirt i had loved it wore it all the time, it had a picture of this girl on it really dorky now that i think about it but i was soooooo sad when we had a fire in our house and it burned up. i cried for like week over that shirt.. it was a cool time to be a kid, did anyone else play games like ghosts in the graveyard and kick the can. the kids i know nowadays don't have a clue what i am talking about when i ask if they know how to play. good games that were played outside and we got lots of exercise. gee this is kinda making me wish i was a kid again.

Maybe evil dead 1 did come out in the early 80's. But I know it was filmed in the 70's. I have the collectors edition and it talks about filming and the set and it talks about it being filmed in the 70's. I never played ghosts in the graveyard or kick the can. But I played a lot of dodgeball.

Are you just saying that because you know I won't shut up unless you agree? lol

August 1981, I got cable and there was the coolest thing ever on there, (besides the occasional flashes of nudity when the dirty channel straightened out for a second)...

it was MTV!

The first video I remember seeing on MTV was "Homeroom Angel" by the J. Geil's Band.

All I can remember positive from the 80's are the Dark blue denim jeans girls used to wear, damn cute girls that turned me on SO MUCH! I mean these things were a lot darker than anything today, dark and kind of shiny almost and worn so tight! Ah yes! And what about those shiny space suit type of things? man those were great too! why can't they make all shiny glisteny gleaming clothing now? Of course those little tiny shorts for guys, that I am glad is gone hope it is gone forever!!! Other than that the music really sucked except for the freaky farout robotic shit! Bring back the spandex [I mean the tight black pants not those ridiculous leotard things] and superslutty women oh yeah! and what the hell are tight rolls? HAHAHA PEACE
