What was it like to live back then?
>>220102854it was horrible elvis wouldn't stop shaking his hips and the commies were everywhere
>>220102854I remember when my dad and my older sister came home from the gas station that rented VCRs with a VCR and both Predator and AliensI also remember when she came home a couple years later and told me they made a Predator TWO and then she whips it out
>>220102854It was awesome and cool as fuck. You really missed out.
the only kino on that marquee is radio shack
>>22010285480's and early 90's was literally the best time in human history and few things grieve me more than that they ended.
>>220102854It wasn't that long ago that every year there would be about 10-15 movie that are looked upon fondly today and still popular in our culture. Nowadays, there are barely even 5 well-regarded Hollywood movies that have any sort of longevity in a year
N A T U R A LL I G H T I N G
>>220102854I was a baby so I probably spent a lot of time sleeping and crying, but it was good.
>>220102854Movies were so much better back in the day or maybe I'm just an old man yelling at clouds IDK
Full Metal Jacket > Predator > Robocop > The Lost Boys
>>220103139Predator and Robocop are the two best movies ever made.
>>220103189FACTS
>>220102907kek
>>220102854>chatsworth mallmore like chadsworth mall
>>220102854The 80s were cool. I used to hate them because of how they were the beginning of the consumerist slop model we have now but it was an undeniably kino decade that I've learned to love.
>>220103189And Full Metal Jacket is superior to both
>>220102854That is a good lineup. I'd spend all day there and watch them all.
>>220102854nothing is real
>>220102854Like shit.Don't let these old ahh boomers fool you.
>>220103449>try to look up the original site >it's fake >anon photoshopped the image to troll people

>>220102854Everyone was a tv brained boomer and reality was fake and gay riding the last vestiges of the post war prosperity while full globohomo was being established
>>220103449Are they saying those movies never existed in 1987?
>>220103301>they were the beginning of the consumerist slop model we have nowThat was the 1920s.
>>220103848It's from 'Stranger Things'.
>>220103139>>220103338>Full Metal Jacket is superior to bothNot even remotely FMJ is two movies crammed into one runtime and the only one people remember or even like is the one with R. Lee Ermey and Vincent D'Onofrio. Nobody gives a shit about the second half with Matthew Modine trying to get laid or being vaguely upset about a dead VeeCee. Stanley Kubrick was a great visualist, but much his films are pretty fucking hollow.Predator isn't particularly deep, but it doesn't put on airs, it's there to deliver the best goddamn action movie you've ever seen and look good doing it, and RoboCop takes a a silly premise and mines it to examine the nature of the soul and humanity itself.
>>220105448Oh, you're one of those "only the bootcamp scenes are good" type of plebes. Thanks for clearing that up.
>>2201028541987. I went with my dad and sister to see predator the night it came out and it was sold out. I was so pissed. We had to watch witches of eastwick instwead
>>220103301wtf, left is jenna jameson kek
>>220102854Paradise.
>>220102854>What was it like to live back then?Smelled like ashtrays too.
>>220102854It felt like everything was going to be ok.I think the root issue is more people were working together instead of against eachother. Not everyone, but more; enough.
>>220105534The bootcamp scenes are better because R. Lee Ermey makes that movie, D'Onofrio and Adam Baldwin are good as well, but Ermey is the star. Nobody gives a shit about Modine.The story itself is boring as shit. Casualties of War and Born on the Forth of July, both tell better Vietnam stories.
>>220106190I miss wood panelling so god damn much.
>>220103458... care to explain why, my retardposting friend?>>220105534NTA but my recollection is the second half being a massive letdown after all the buildup from the boot camp>>220105795fuuuck
>>220106285Yes, you already explained how filtered you were about the film, you don't need to keep reiterating.
>>220106344No I don't, because I'm right. Also Predator and RoboCop both piss all over Full Metal Jacket so hard that eventually FMJ will be forgotten outside of Simpson and Family Guy references, while new generations will rediscover Predator and RoboCop and they will be beloved over and over.
>>220102854>Robocop wears his Full Metal Jacket during his race against time to find The Lost Boys before the Predator does.KINO.
>>220103301Are those girls on the middle and right the girls from Full House?If so, I don't blame Bob Saget for one god damn second.

>>220102854Transformers gi joes turtles those movies every christmas felt so real and special watching cartoons eating overly sugary cereal.... good times
>>220102854Im ready you guys.
>>220102854It was a lot like pic related.And I would happily say goodbye to the internet and my cell phone and return there forever.
>>220102854Harsh school paddlings
>>220107560>no cordless phones. I will draw a distinction between a landline in the kitchen vs a portable phone in the kitchen as the setup to cellphones.
>>220107560Nigger, I literally go to bonfires and live music shows with my friends. What makes you think that just because we have phones those things don't happen anymore? Maybe you're not doing those things, but it's not your phone that's stopping you.
>>220107560Oh, I still go to bonfires.
>>220108151your boss is a pajeet lol
>>220106190>left: friends house>right: mine
>>220102854Lel I just drove by where that is yesterday. It was pretty comfy. I feel like people were more creative about what they were going to spend their time doing any day. People had more interesting productive jobbies.
>>220108245Trying too hard, Gurpreet.
>>220106905Remember what they took from you.
>>220102854>uncslop>uncslop>uncslop>uncslopYeah I'm really springing out of my chair and running to the garage with a mad desire to build a time machine NOT
>>220102854Niggers were more considerate to keep their nigger ways in their hoods. Women weren't the insufferable cunts they have become today. Faggots kept their faggotry to themselves. People pretty much tried to behave in public so as not to be a nuisance. The big threat was nuclear destruction where as today it's death by global industrialist tyranny.
>>220102854Normal
>>220102854It was a better time.
>>220107456You forgot the crystals...
going to the other timeline later nerds
>>220102933>she whips it outheh
>>220108684This has been one of the biggest disappointments of the current internet. All of these freaks and faggots polluting the internet with their ugly lives. We didn't have faggot shit shoved in our faces back then. Now it's everywhere you look online. The internet was a mistake.
>>220104591No. Are you retarded?
Life (in the West) peaked in the late 90's. Zoomers are a bunch of sorry fucks growing up in literal Hell, and it's entirely their own fault. They should be slaughtered.
>>220108399>GwinnettMy condolences.
I was born in 1985 and most of you never seem to mention that back in the 90s we were always expecting things to get even better than what they currently were. Shit moved so fast back then, computers got obsolete within 6 months, it was just fad after fad after fad with something new ready to replace the current trend. I specifically told myself back then that I would never feel nostalgia for the 90s because the future has got to be a lot better.
>>220103301this were considered 2/10 in 1992
>>220110153technology has the promise of a beautiful future, unfortunately for us it was highjacked and turned into a weapon by tech bros to overthrow america
>>220102854what's it like to spend your time talking about shit that doesn't exist anymore?
What order do you watch them in?Matinee>The Lost BoysAfternoon>Full Metal JacketEvening>Predator Late>Robocop
>>220102854People thought they were living in the dark ages because they were no longer getting the more mature epics of the 1950s/60s and because theater popcorn was .50¢ a gallon instead of .05¢. Of course people in the 80s were still living in a golden era, just at the end of it.
>>220110430>tech brosCool buzzword you blue button trannie.
>>220108805>You forgot the crystals...I just need electricity anon...
>>220102933>and then she whips it outyes, but what about the movie?
>>220110730cool shithole youve turned our country into retard
>>220110696>not just watching lost boys and calling it dayhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvlOgX1Z7GAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Q_Na5Ou5Rs
>>220102854Women didn't hate men. It was a helluva lot easier to get laid.
>>220110804A buddy of mine was at a house party and Corey Haim showed up. He went around asking everyone to throw in money for drugs and when they showed up he acted like a fiend (i.e. no social aspect to it, just staring at the coke and hovering around waiting for another line).
>>220110937https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3seVOUQ4FYM</3
>>220110872chuds didnt exist, youd find it easy to get laid now if you werent a chud
>>220102854>The Lost Boys>Predator
>>220110779That was the Hart-Cellar Act.
>>220102950Robocop is kino and if you say otherwise you don't actually like movies.
>>220112020what I love most about Paul Verhoeven movies is that he understood what America really was and put it on screen like no one else could.
>>220111461It's okay, RoboCop is between them.
>>220103139Wtf with the Lost Boys disrespect. Some people really are subhumans
>>220102854Some things were cool, some things were really gay. People like to forget all the gay shit. All in all it wasn't massively better or worse, just very different.
>>220110937Corey Haim makes everything he’s in a little bit worse.

>>220102854RadioShack was awesome, all the employees had the knowledge to open their own electronics store.
>>220103449I'm pretty sure 1987 actually happened. I was alive then
>>220102854Here is what it was like to grow up in the 1990s. I saw Lake Placid in the movie theater with my stepdad and after it was over we decided to see Deep Blue Sea next. I was 11. Kino.
>>220102854Well first off everyone was white
>>220108875final season of little house wtf
>>220102981Actors knew their place. As cock holsters for the actual creative talent. They were there to follow orders and look insanely attractive. Now they don’t look attractive and they are just there to tick some boxes to hit target demographics. There’s no artistic vision. Even the absolute dog shit slop films of the 80’s-90’s still ended up being fun.The rule changes made to accommodate women in corporte leadership killed fun. Flicks are no longer enjoyable. You’re not supposed to be having a good time. You’re supposed to be thinking about climate change or racism and feel really really bad about it
>>220111081chud was the default (we normal people just it "normal"), there were no dickless tranny freaks like you or places like tumblr and reddit for you freaks to congregate to make up retarded memes like "chud"
>>220114703just *called* it
>>220108684niggers have never been considerate. We just didnt handcuff the cops back then and they kept them where they were supposed to be
>>220102854I saw a double feature of Predator and Fletch.
>>220102854how is it any different than now? just put your phone down... turn your computer off and go outside
>>220115097that's too hardalso there isn't shit worth watching nowadays
Radio Shack was great. They had these giant, free catalogs that you'd pore over for hours. I would have kilt for a Color Computer.
>>220102854I want to be beaten up by huge flightless birds while naked and shit on afterwards by seagulls
>>220113014It's not really disrespect. That's just a really good lineup of movies
>>220115492meds
>>220115097it's not enough that i can do it too, but everyone else should too. and yeah there's a ton of people who go outside too but they're dumb and gay and mostly brown so i dont want to anymore
>>220115153>>220115601>it's not enoughthats all there is to it. just stop living your lives online. i only come on here once or twice a day. im offline and out most of my day. once you terminally online faggots realize being online is whats keeping you from enjoying life your life will change
>>220104591They wouldn't show 4 big block busters back to back. It's always heavy hitter followed by many small budget shit.
>>220103449Those movies all did come out in June-July of 1987 even if the image is fake.
I remember going to a mom n pop VHS rental place with my sister when I was a kid. I stopped by a vending machine outside and thought door was still open and bashed my head with a big CLAAAANGGGG on the clear glass door.Little retard going owwie trying not to cry while the grownups tried not to laugh and subtly egging me on to bawl. Good stuff, I remember renting honey I shrunk the kids every single time while trying to build up the courage to see if I could get away with renting an adult movie.Also there were no niggers, arabs, and homos back then so it was safe to send kids out by themselves.I remember sneaking out by myself to buy pokemon silver at the mall and eating a slice of pizza while I was a little retard. I also bshed my head against the clear glass door at the pizza place because I thought it was automatic.
>>220115732They all came out at the same time. What, were they going to wait until the buzz died down before putting the next blockbuster on the marquee, losing all those ticket sales?
>>220106190The truth lmao
i don't like the lost boys, but i do like the song that guy madehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRq2J2M2ap8its not good but i like it
I remember being 15 and dating an 11 year old girl. We watched X men and everyone thought it was cute, but I put my hand up her skirt and she wasn't strong enough to stop me from doing what I wanted.
>>220102981it feels more like one half interesting interesting film every 5 years now. even those aren't great
>>220108875hill street blues intrigues me, as a friend has the DVDs of it unopenedwhats it like?
>>220105795what a let downI was about 5 years too young and just caught all the best films on tv/videofirst time I saw predator I was pretty young and the moment they found the pile of guts in the jungle I left the room.was also too scared to watch nightmare on elm street first time round, I was maybe 9. at 10 I watched lots of conan and other action films at a friend's house, it was his cool older brother's video collection.robocop for the first time at 10 was a bit tough at times, the first blasting scene and the melted guy particularly, but saw the whole thing.set me on a path of appreciation for action films thereafter.
>>220106565pred and robo are near perfect films, lost boys is good and classic, fmj is mediocre and feels cheap and fake, especially the second half. it just doesn't feel like avietnam film. r lee ermy was good but that's it.felt like when I first saw it and it hasn't changed, I've seen a lot of nam films.
>>220105448>the best goddamn action movie you've ever seenI used to think this. Then I saw the last hour of 'Hard Boiled'.
There's still a RadioShack that is open for business like an hour outside of my town. In the middle of bum fuck nowhere. I was born in 1996 thoughever.
>>220108684yes indeed.we were the last ones to see what normal life was like, anyone since will only have the current clown world as their reference and soon enough our worldview will be utterly destroyed, with ai changing all past media on the internet so there's almost no way to see it.even the rumours will die out in a few decades.
>>220110696>>220110804a cinema was showing it a few years ago so tookagirl to watch it.was the first time I'd seen it in the cinema, despite having always liked it.waa an original reel, pretty cool
>>220113300stuck in my head for decades til I finally found an mp3 of it.
>>220113513most people in most shops knew about what they were selling.i miss all those useful shops, could just ask someone and they'd know the answer and want to help you out.if I find a time portal, I'm going.
>>220105795>expect predator>get witches of eastwickmy god i'd still have a chip on my shoulder
>>220114521was watching some TV/behind the scenes from the early 90s and everyone in that was too. whole civilisation destroyred in 30 years.
>>220115711well no shit, I was joking and referring to going to the theaters.
>>220110079That's Chatsworth, California.
>>220109569Not as retarded as the people at the Atlanta Journal thinking a "viral photo" is worth writing an article about.
things went bad but trump will make america great again bros! never stop believing bros!
>>220102854Your uncle was raping your niece and everyone new it.every single responsible adult was either a coke addict or an active dealer.you new college was bullshit but did it anyway.every single day you prayed for the apocalypse, vid reltated:https://youtu.be/rHcmnowjfrQ?si=QMDMoDlVT_KF4QA3
The movies felt like events but people forget that cigarette smoke everywhere. Stink on your clothes after being at a club or bar. People are unironically healthier without passive smoking.
I was too young to see R-rated films, but going to the movies was great.Smartphones and the modern media climate just seem to suck the life out of you.
>>220114414You just don't exist.
>>220115949What's the worst that could happen?2026
we can never go back
or maybe the past is the future
Radioshack had some actual electronics parts, computers, audio hifi, and random toys. People would actually do stuff in the 80s.
>>220106190Accurate.Those lamps where you touch the base and the light dims were the absolute pinnacle of 1980s technology.
>>220118824Yeah now we get to drink the birth control in the water supply while dodging high fructose corn syrup in every food on the shelves and avoiding feral hood beasts that cover every square inch of any remotely urban patch of land. Progress!
