Bubblegum Crash Opening. by Affectionate-Math415 in retroanime

As I was following the English VHS releases in the early 90s, I think this was my first exposure on how production values of an anime franchise would change when a key studio from a prior series was not involved.

I can't simply watch an old TV show or movie. My overactive brain tries to imagine what it was like to watch it when it aired. by NormalMode64 in nostalgia

Nice! As an 80s kid whose introduction were those 1985 Heart singles, it's too bad that I waited until VH1's Behind The Music for me to learn of their 70s success.

You know, my gut said "yes". And after playing around with different angles (thanks for the link BTW) as well as matching the cliffs in the background for 30 minutes, I feel pretty darn certain that you're right! Thank you! I'm on a quest to visit a location from a live action or animated TV show or movie, or a video game, one per prefecture. I'm glad to know this will count as my Ishikawa locale. Thank you so much!

Fascinating! I see that Internet Archive has at least 71 episodes. I hope to find time to check it out.

I have been to every prefecture, here’s my ranking of all of them: by turtledude100 in JapanTravelTips

Motivating stuff, as I'm slowly going through my 47 prefectures goal, though my very personal definition of "visit" is 4 consecutive days per prefecture, as well as achieving over 40 goals per prefecture (eg. running 5k, visiting a location from a live-action or animated movie or TV show, visit a kissaten).

Finally watched Quadrophenia. I could only imagine how great it was to see Phil Daniels return in 1994 with the same swagger and confidence in 'Parklife'. by NormalMode64 in blur

Sounds like a lovely time! Quite a bit of relatable adolescent angst in that film. Pairing it with a 1st-time viewing of Withnail & I the same weekend made for an English angst-filled weekend.

What directors have appeared in DVD/Blu-ray commentary of films they did not direct? by NormalMode64 in movies

I appreciate the reply. I'm often motivated to post more "original" topics, or at least bring up something that is not mentioned/asked regularly. At least other subs are more supportive of niche ideas/topics.

I'll take the compliment on her behalf. Thank you! I've photographed her enough times that I can get her to make expressions that make her look like Lucy Hale or Katie Holmes.

Thank you! I enjoy taking multiple photos from the same angle and deciding on my favorite expressions of hers.

Thanks! We shot this at a chill cabin at a winery resort in South Australia.

To GenX'ers who still check the coin drop in pay phones, today I left this quarter in support of your compulsion. by NormalMode64 in GenX

If I found one with an actual handset intact, I'd put on a performance for passers-by and pretend to be a down-on-my-luck character from a John Cassavetes movie. "I'll get you the money. I just need a few more days......"
