Didn't I post something similar recently? Some longhaired dude loving up to that sleek Fpenis fuselapenis leaning into it oh yeaaaah

here we are

Some dirty looking guy reclining on a couch looks normal by comparison.

p.s. I was reading my bible today for FACTS, I was writing a story and needed to know what day the snakes and mice appear, you see.

What a gross looking old movie. Can you imagine being alive in the 80's? No internet, no cell phones, bad musique. The past sucked. I'm holding off on suicide until I'm at least 60 because robots are gonna be awesome

Well...I guess the 80s pop music, even the rock, laid some of the foundations for the soulless, overproduced crap I had to listen to a few times in the 90s. Mainly I think there was good stuff back then, just not enough.

Someday my kids will be saying that the 2000s sucked terribly because oh my god how did they play those games with only 100s or 1000s of polygons RALF.

and then they'll be bitchslapped.

I guess it wasn't any worse on the whole. I just hate all hair metal, except Van Halen sort of

I guess the difference becomes clear (maybe) if you look at 70s and earlier stuff. Hey, a few days ago was the 50th anniversary of the day the music died.

The 80s were awesome *knows*

You had The Smiths, Echo and the Bunnymen, The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Dexy's Geno. And all the brilliant John Waters films.

The clothes were shocking right enough.

-lol, in the bed (1:23) I thought he was fiddling with a rubiks cube.
-This rocked, as we could go to the arcade and play After Burner back then with this song in our heads.
-Might I have done just that myself in those times I wonder......
-Song is not as bad as the artist is gay though.
-Funny how nobody is even remotely interested in who this guy even is.

You forgot New Order, and Joe Satriani. And Front 242, but then I wasn't listening to them until the 90's. Then there was The Art of Noise, Yello, Frankie Goes To Hollywood and the Pet Shop Boys, not to mention the Talking Heads. Yeah.

A lot of things in the 80's were awesome because:

a) You were a kid

b) They were distilled / mainstreamed from the 70's & 60's.

c) OK, some things in the 80's were really cool, you got me.

A&B are still true though!!!!

*Raiders of the Lost Ark and Empire Strikes Back are left over films from the 70's. The 80's can't take credit for them!!!


On a serious note, there were problems in the late 80's with music. The death of vinyl and most things not yet being available on CD meant that there was a period where a LOT of music simply wasn't available. Yes, this had an impact on music from the period since it became apparent that many bands had become disconnected from a musical heritage that was there up through the 70's and early 80's.

Polyester and Hairspray? mmmkay . . .

I think 1977's Desperate Living is his creative peak, myself. But all of it is worth watching over and over. His DVD commentaries are very, very good too!

There was tons of great metal going on in the 80's. Slayer, good Metallica, Exodus, Death Angel, Trouble, Celtic Frost, St Vitus, the birth of grindcore, lots of good hardcore, fucking CROSSOVER.... all sorts of goodness.

Techincally, the year 1980 was part of the 1970s decade...so since The Empire Strikes Back was released back in May of 1980 -- it is regarded from that era (aka "The Me Generation" era). As for Raiders of the Lost Ark, it came out on the big screen back in 1981, and thus it is from the 1980s "Reganomics" era period...same era of preppies, yuppies and whatnot.

You might recall all the Y2K hoopla about celebrating the year 2000...word got out that it was still part of the 20th century and not of the 21st century. That sorta killed off the mood & festivities but what the heck, the world still celebrated with much flash and style with the largest fireworks show in history. That was fun to watch it go out with a "big bang". Will have to wait until January 1st, 2101 A.D., to celebrate the 22nd century era in grand style. Surely, we'll all be long gone before that reaching that next century milestone. ^_~

And about the Y2K computer glitch scare? That was a fucking farce. I recall having to huddle inside my job location to stay safe just in case the worst case senario did really happen. But nothing really significant happened. Sure, I read about some folks who sold their houses, quit their jobs and bought many MREs to prepare for the worst if the all the worlds computers were to grind to a halt just because of some cost-cutting tasks of axing the first two digits to represent the years. ^_~

This from a guy who has 'Ayn Rand is still right' in his sig. Fuck charities, we should only care about ourselves! Snort

Devo are clearly the best 80's music, if they don't count as 70's

Seriously though, you always go out of your way to be rude. You always say stuff to get a rise out of people. Why?

EDIT: Rand didn't say "fuck charities". Nor do I.

That looks like a mash-up video, even though I know it's real.

Just about everything in the "Related" column of youtube for this video was fun to watch.
