1984 A Delayed Future Perhaps
Because Big Brother said so. Stunning and frightening all at the same time. I hope this remains speculation and not reality.
Tunes Tuesday – Daryl Hall and John Oates – Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid
Sometimes we say things we shouldn’t to important people. Perhaps there is a comment on a blog or Facebook we shouldn’t have posted. We all say things we don’t mean but are very sorry for. “Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid” is off the Big Bang Boom record by Hall and Oates from 1984.
Supergirl The Movie
This movie from 1984 is the motion picture cousin to Superman. Helen Slater and Faye Dunaway are good in a pretty campy flick. In my opinion the TV series is a more serious telling of the story of Kara Zor El from Krypton. Slater is s good actress and they could have done a better movie at the time.
Ghostbusters, The Classic 1984 Version #ghostbusters
Instead of the VCR its the Blu Ray player and tonight we’re watching the DVD version of this great film. It’s a classic for all the right reasons, like it’s funny and the science fiction is awesome. One thing that makes this a great film is the comic chemistry of the cast Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson and the late Harold Ramis. Sigourney Weaver who is a sci-fi queen herself makes this a truly special movie.
I am looking forward to the new movie with Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones, Kate McKinnon and Kristen Wiig. This will be a new movie for a new generation.
So, who ya going to call? You know what to do…
Music Monday – Corey Hart – Sunglasses At Night
Being a prescription glasses wearer all my life wearing sunglasses most anytime is not always a good thing. My preferred style is Wayfarers from Ray Ban. This one hit wonder from 1984 has held up over time and I hear it a lot on the music station I listen to in Chattanooga.
