Buffy ,'Dirty Girls'
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Anything I can easily place in the 80s looks horrid to me.
But, but, but.... Weird, multi-level, ultra-wide and square lapels on vinyl jackets! Tall, Flock of Seagulls hair!
Nope, you're right. The 80's needs to be purged from my poor brain. Anybody got a soldering iron?

I second that. Glam rock and big hair with fake shoulder pads larger than Alaska nearly did me in.
I still maintain that fashion will never be as bad as it was in the 70s—when laughably bad perms, gold chains, polyester in day-glo colors, bell bottoms, and platform shoes all combined into a staggeringly awful whole. Gee thanks, Professor Leary!
I don't know - Members Only jackets, the Miami Vice look, leg warmers, Rick Springfield hair, big hair on women, skinny leather ties (although I always kinda liked those), extremes of preppy in bright pastels - they run a close second if they aren't worse.
Loved that game. So much fun.
Oh, Miracleman. I love you so. Did you play the sequel? It was even cooler.
The fun thing about the first game is there was always a violent and non-violent way to solve the problem, and often it wasn't just a matter of using a laser gun or a tranq dart.

How about a hair crimper?
I had my one and only perm in the 80's. 'Nuff said.
I had a jheri curl in the 80s. I can never look fondly back on that decade.
Admittedly, I think it was as cute as fuck, but ... jheri juice.
Did you play the sequel? It was even cooler.
Yes, but not the third one.
The '70s were more distinctive. But then, I spent most of the '80s in polo shirts and jeans.
I like the early '70s stuff a lot. Tight jeans tucked into knee-high boots. The Russian-influenced peasant stuff. The long, flowing hair.
The only problem is, I no longer have the rail-thin figure needed to carry it off.
Also, there will be no dissing of the glam rock. [Holds Velvet Goldmine DVD close to chest]
