79. ‘Time After Time’

When the ball dropped on a new decade, expectations for 2020 were lofty. But the past few months have challenged us. Stuck indoors to keep each other safe, unsure of what’s to come, we find ourselves not really wanting to look ahead, as we did at the start of the year, but rather wanting to look back to simpler, more favorable times. When the synthesizer was considered awesome. When fanny packs were accepted as fashion. And when conflict could be solved with a dance-off. Oh, yes, we’re writing about the ’80s. The new coke, leg-warmer, shoulder-pad, feathered-hair ’80s.

The best 85 inch tv for hdr content we've tested is the vizio p85qx-h1. It's the premium led option in vizio's lineup and is the only model available in this size. It delivers excellent picture quality with a very satisfying hdr experience, and it comes with gaming features too. It displays an extremely wide color gamut and is one of the brightest tvs we've tested in 2020. It makes highlights pop the way the creator intended in hdr, even if you're viewing in the brightest of settings. Its va panel delivers an outstanding contrast ratio, and blacks appear deep and inky when viewed in the dark. The full-array local dimming feature is great and helps further improve the contrast ratio without too much blooming around bright objects. This tv has trouble upscaling lower-resolution content, but that shouldn't be a problem if you're watching blu-rays or native 4k content. It's also excellent for hdr gaming because it has a quick response time, low hdr input lag, variable refresh rate (vrr) support, and a black frame insertion feature.

When it comes to '80s fashion, we have a (surprising) amount to be thankful for. While the decade hasn't influenced our wardrobes for a long time, in recent months, we've come to the realization that all the most current trends today are courtesy of the '80s. And if you're sitting there with a raised eyebrow, it's worth noting that at the end of last year, the trend had seen an 87% increase on pinterest.

There’s a reason all the late-'90s babies cling so proudly to their semi-fabricated memories of “the good old days. ” everyone can appreciate the merit of some '90s nostalgia. Perhaps it stems from a yearning for a time just before our world became so hyper-virtual: when drama went down in the mall instead of on social media. Lovers exchanged mix tapes rather than spotify playlists, and hacker characters on the world wide web were more novelty than reality. (julia stiles’s character in ghostwriter knew something we didn’t. ).

In the mid-2000s, dollywood joined the ranks of family amusement parks participating in "gay days," a time when families with lgbtq members are encouraged to celebrate together in a welcoming community environment. This riled the kkk, but their threats didn't scare dolly. "i still get threats," she has admitted. "but like i said, i'm in business. I just don't feel like i have to explain myself. I love everybody. ".

Footloose portrays the timeless struggle between innocent pleasure and rigid morality, when city boy ren mccormack (kevin bacon) finds himself in an uptight midwestern town where dancing - and therefore all youthful joy - has been banned.

Know which film this scene comes from?

While halloween was by no means the first slasher film, it was the definitive classic that launched what’s lovingly dubbed as the golden age of slashers, the period from 1978 to the mid-eighties where the slasher sub-genre was at the height of popularity. After that, slasher fatigue set in and most became straight-to-video releases, where they still remained profitable. Why are slashers so popular? one of the reasons is the death scenes; the more creative and memorable the better.

Which Iconic 80’s Movie Character Are You?

In 1925, comedy legend charlie chaplin wrote, directed, and starred in "the gold rush," a feature-length silent film set during the klondike gold rush. Chaplin led the film with his "little tramp" persona, the character chaplin is most known for, with his toothbrush mustache and oversized suit. Ironically, the look of the iconic character happened while chaplin was rushing to wardrobe. In his autobiography , chaplin wrote: "i had no idea what makeup to put on however, on the way to the wardrobe, i thought i would dress in baggy pants, big shoes, a cane, and a derby hat i had no idea of the character. But the moment i was dressed, the clothes and the make-up made me feel the person he was. ".

Every generation has their flicks. My parents made me sit through lawrence of arabia and the godfather, but few flicks are as generationally relevant as the classic '80s films so many of us grew up watching. I'm looking at you, john hughes. You defined a generation. You taught us what it meant to be an angsty teen. You provided us with hours upon hours of vhs enjoyment!.

Next by now, our nostalgia for the ’80s has outlasted the decade itself by about 20 years — and for good reason. Like the ’60s before it, the ’80s was an industrial revolution of pop culture. Think about all the icons. Or the fashion. Or the trends. In almost every vertical, be it music, or film, or television, there was something radical going down. Even better, there was an economy of weird, and the mainstream was trying its hardest to capitalize on it in every capacity. Not a bad thing.

Synopsis: oliver stone's autobiographical vietnam war film stars charlie sheen as chris taylor, a neophyte soldier who finds himself caught in [more].

Before the onslaught of ghost stories, japanese horror was often as graphic and low-brow as american. Exhibit a: "evil dead trap. " this is brutal, graphic stuff (pierced eyeball, anyone?). The plot begins a bit like david cronenberg's "videodrome": the hostess of a late-night submit-your-own-video tv show receives a mysterious submission that appears to be a snuff film. She investigates its origin with members of her crew, tracking it back to an abandoned warehouse. There she runs headlong into a trap (some might call it evil) set by a masked killer clad in military gear. He offs them one by one in wonderfully elaborate set pieces (foreshadowing "saw"). The ending must be seen to be believed if not really understood.

The thing is a 1982 american science fiction horror film directed by john carpenter and written by bill lancaster. Based on the 1938 john w. Campbell jr. Novella who goes there? , it tells the story of a group of american researchers in antarctica who encounter the eponymous "thing", a parasitic extraterrestrial life-form that assimilates, then imitates other organisms. The group is overcome by paranoia and conflict as they learn that they can no longer trust each other and that any one of them could be the thing. The film stars kurt russell as the team's helicopter pilot, r. J. Macready , and features a. Wilford brimley , t. K. Carter , david clennon , keith david , richard dysart , charles hallahan , peter maloney , richard masur , donald moffat , joel polis , and thomas g. Waites in supporting roles.

What made it so good: written by hollywood mad dog john miiius, the crazy nightmare scenario of this drama seems so unbelievable in retrospect it borders on the ridiculous. Best line: "not bad for a bunch of kids, huh? mama would be real proud. "fun fact: when i interviewed milius in 2009 , he told me he spent some of his younger days hunting and camping in the mountains. For milius, "red dawn" was kind of his sick fantasy film. "we were promised, when i was growing up, this war with russia," he said. "we were promised world war iii. " he almost sounded disappointed that it never happened.
