Yeah, it used to be like this.
>>220846507You should see what the Summer of 1989 was like.
>>220846553You should see what hot summer of 92 was like
>>220846507you never know you're in the good times at the moment.
>>220847586Truth. We were spoiled. I enjoyed those times but never thought the ride would end.
r.i.p. radio shack
>>220846507Insane how far we’ve fallen.
>>220846507Well, no, because this is fake.
>only good line up is Termiatntor and Part 1 of Full Metal Jacket>”look how good we had it”Do boomers really?
>>220847640The picture is a modern recreation of the 1987 movie season. It’s still accurate. You really could go to the movies on the weekend in summer 1987 and see all 4 of these, and many did
>>220847664Wow a movie theater has movies? Holy fuck anon
>>220847613That was the real radio shack too. Not the watered down shit. The days where you could still go in and browse electronic parts and find soldering irons, strobe lights, lava lamps and a Tandy computer THEN you could go over to the theater and watch all for movies in one day if you had the stamina.
What did they even sell at Radio Shack? Literal radios like in the oldey times?
>>220846507>2 dumb action flicks, a teenage male power fantasy, and a pretentious war film>oh also a geek storeWas this mall like the incel headquarters of the 80s?
>>220847680Yeah a movie theater used to have 4 really great well-remembered movies on the weekend as opposed to today where we barely have 4 great movies a year you fucking obnoxious faggot
>>220847728Random electronics parts and RC cars.
>>220846507What will be the equivalent in forty years?
>>220847728Electronics in general.
>>220846507>literally can see the crane to the left making this fake sign
>>220847807>They didn't have cranes in the 80's
>>220847781There were no incels in the 1980s. Even ugly fatsos like yourself could get pussy if you were alive back then.
>>220847805Like what?
>>220847814https://www.ajc.com/life/radiotvtalk-blog/how-a-fake-1987-movie-marquee-at-gwinnett-place-mall-turned-into-viral-photo/YDJRENV75ZH6PKYJDABP34DEOU/It's painful how retarded some of you are
>>220847858Grow up
>>220847781None of the movies there are dumb. Robocop is one of the most intelligent action movies of all time.
>>220846507>boomer thinks this is impressiveYeah well in May of 2001 we had Shrek, Spy Kids, AND The Mummy Returns. And Joe Dirt. And you think that Stanley Kubrick piece of crap is good? We had a better war movie. Pearl Harbor. The Michael Bay kino. Yeah.
>>220847858Who cares? It’s still an accurate re-creation. You could all those movies in one weekend in 1987. Today’s movies suck and theaters are dying. The end
>>220847850Everything from basic components to finished products. Tools too.
>>220847897low IQ retard>>220847918>Who cares?It is concerning how many of you are stupid and easily fall for fake images
>Millennials had Robocop>Zoomers had Iron ManWhat is the Gen Alpha equivalent?
>>220847937The pic itself not being from 1987 isn’t really the point. What an annoying thread, you’re all horribly annoying and should die
>>220847965No the point is how you are literally boomer tier falling for fake pictures
>>220847858it was real in my mind and represents better days that i want back again. take me back i hate this gay world i hate it so freaking much. kill the bad men who made it this way
>>220847960The black iron man girl whats her name?
>>220847987The bad men that made it this way made those movies too retard
>>220847960Gen Alpha isn't old enough to have their own RoboCop yet. But I'm sure it'll be even grimmer than whatever slop zoomers had.
>>220847960Iron Man was for millennials too. Zoomers don't watch movies, they watch instagram clips. And Gen alpha won't watch movies, either.
>>220848058Zoomers love Marvel movies, what are you talking about.
>>220848026Robocop was Copaganda so it’s going to stay an unc franchise.
>>220847858And it was real at some point. Are you black by chance? Your IQ isnt very high
>>220848112No I am not you, a brown person who thinks fake images are real
>>220848081No. Most of the people who watch Marvel movies are nostalgic millennials who grew up with the crappy X-Men cartoon from the 90s. Zoomers don't like movies unless they have child characters or a badly animated CG animal or ogre.
>>220847960>Millennials had RobocopIt was released in 87, millenials were too young
>>220848165For real. You had to have been born before 1970 to see RoboCop in the theater, unless you had a really cool dad. Like I did.
>>220848165It became more popular in the 90s though due to the sequels and TV shows, and all the merchandise. They marketed a lot of R-rated movies towards kids back then.
>>220848110But it's anti-Reagan, which is the kind of thing that sells really well in a post-2008 economic climate.
I'll buy that for a dollar.
>>220846507western civilization peaked in 2000
>>2208487172000 was already part of the slow decline that began around 1994 or 1995. The peak was probably closer to 1990 or 1991.
>>220848717>>220848753I defer to the Mayans and say 2012 was the last good year. Don't h8, just my personal opinion.
>>220848753>2000 was already part of the slow declinethe the early 2000s was the same as the early 1990s for a kid but we actually had access to good versions of modern tech
>>220848753Everyone knows now that the real terminal decline started in 2007.
>>220846507I saw The Untouchables. My friend's dad took us. We were 10.Good Morning, Vietnam. Another R rated. I didnt realize that. My mom took me and my brother and I think cousin while we were on vacation. One of the very few if only movies I ever saw on vacation. I'm pretty sure thats it. Slow year for me. Robocop was filmed just a few blocks away from me the year before for the outside of Murphy's house but I had no idea.
>>220846553My friend and I walked into the wrong theater for The Abyss. We meant to see Parenthood. They started at the same time and it was on a massive screen. At the mall where part of True Stories with David Byrne was filmed.
>>220846507Can we have a gen X holocaust? Only you faga chronically rave for bad films made during the 80s(the worst decade for films). Seriously kill yourselves.
>>220846567I saw the press screening for Alien 3 with my girlfriend and her mom who was in radio advertising. They spelled out Alien 3 in caviar but I chickened out. Everyone hated the movie. Dracula was the first movie where I think I went with friends who drove. Everyone hated the movie.
>>220846507I can watch all these movies right now on my phone.
>>220847728Consumer office tier phones, answering machines, walkie talkies, TV remote controllers, it was always a bitchless chud store but it was usually located next to a video rental and near fast food, so the neon sign was associated with comfy drives around 7:30 p.m. True to their name the stores were consistently small too, so you were greeted upon entering usually by one dude or two. Never more than four customers unless half a little league loudly went in for some reason. Something about it was lonely, people used to joke one day Radio Shack will be gone lol even before internet took over. Dead guy I knew worked there.
