everyday seems to be random, no? i was watching i love the 80’s strikes back on vh1 last night, and it seemed one part comforting, one part disturbing. i am at that point in life where they can make tv specials out of my childhood….eek. the next phase in this cycle of life is the recycling of the fashion trends as well. last i checked, we were in the desperately seeking susan mid 80’s. the second i start seeing skidz pants and champion sweatshirts make a comeback, ill start worrying. so i caught the ’87 and ’88 editions of ilt80sb (pronounced ‘iliter-eighties-b’) before the simpsons came on. some of the highlights included: thundercats (hoooo!), police academy, the rise and fall of steve guttenberg, beetlejuice, the jamaican bobsled team and their bobsled-sized bong, and the eternally fresh princess bride. princess bride rocketh alot…now i have to hunt down the dvd. and for some reason, it felt as if ’87 and ’88 was the breaking point between what felt 80’s and what could pass as harbingers for the 90’s. also of note is the fact that i don’t like mo rocca. he sounded like an ironic hipster prick everytime words came out of his mouth.
some coo bits of news from aicn today. the first is a new teaser trailer for the new ghost in the shell 2: innocence movie. its a short teaser…kinda feh in my opinion, but the visuals are ridiculous. theres however no visuals of motoko…only bateau, and he’s not the prettiest thing to look at.
aicn also pointed to the new matrix revolutions figures coming out from mcfarlane toys…neo, morpheus, an a.p.u., etc…woo! the figures are all from revolutions…except maybe morpheus. that one looks more like the original morpheus from the first matrix.
wow – ghost in the shell 2 – way cool! definitely impressive visuals in the trailer.
hmmm, this movie has A LOT to live up to, but so far.. lookin’ goood.
