Mixtapes were made by recording songs off the radio onto a cassette tape and movies had intermission.
People would pick a song to play for their voicemail message.
You’d record a song from the radio as your ringtone.

You have to go in the living room to use the computer
“You’ve got mail!”
If I wanted a song I’d have to put 30,000 viruses on my computer from Limewire
If you wanted a certain letter you’d have to press that button like 3 times on a phone 😭
Sidekicks, blackberries, and razr phones were for bad bitches only
Baby phat
Amazon only sold books.
this phone number has three nines in it, which takes a long time to dial bc you have to spin the dial aaaall the way three times
does ready player one's wierdly focussed 80s nostalgia include reagan, aids, and the cold war? like, does ultimate reed richards nostalgia for akira include the post-hiroshima nuclear anxiety that shaped post-war japan, the social conservatism bosozoku kids were rebelling against, and the technological advancements that led to the 70s and 80s asian tiger economic boom that is at the heart of cyberpunk? or, like the recent godzilla and ghost in the shell films, is this just surface gloss? is kaneda's bike the sum of akira? can you take kaneda's bike out of akira and have it mean anything? bc it's all over the trailer and they could have had an avatar designed to look like a cel-shaded otomo drawing, but instead it was just ultra-generic motorcycle lady on a bike devoid of contextual specificity and the delorean doesn't fare much better, so, is it just, hey here's a bunch of 1980s nods even though they don't make any sense in 2017, let alone 2060 or whenever like what happened to the 90s, 00s, 10s, etc? am i really supposed to believe the super internet in 2060 is going to have deloreans and kaneda's bike but not harry potter or rey or katniss everdeen or legolas like peter quill was abducted by aliens in 1985 which is why all his cultural references are 30 years out of date. he literally doesn't know abt the 90s what's reed richard's excuse?

1980s female bodybuilder, Gladys Portugues. You might know her as “Mrs. Jean Claude van Damme.”
The story of how they met is the best, it’s basically the plot of the movie “Borat.” Jean Claude van Damme came to America a penniless immigrant in the 1980s, and on arriving in America within his first month, he immediately tried to find the beautiful American girl he kept on seeing in fitness magazines back in Belgium. He eventually found where she was shooting, showed up uninvited, and despite the fact he was a nobody foreigner who didn’t have a cent to his name, asked her out on a date. They were married a little while later.
And by the way….they’re still together.
Bonus fact, this is van Damme’s first actual credit in a film:

Great opening or the greatest opening?
Peter Chung, folks.
One of the best animators out there. He also did this opening and this one. Created Aeon Flux and Phantom 2040 and directed Alexander (Adult Swim viewers know it as Reign: The Conqueror) and Firebreather (man, I wish Cartoon Network didn’t forget about that flick).
But yeah, Peter Chung. Awesome talent.

I felt that the [TNG] writers and producers could not escape from their own essential rigidity in their attitudes to women. They were continually featured as sexual objects, as softer, weaker, and therefore - it always seemed to me—second-class individuals. And because I believed and still do that the show represents what our underlying philosophies are, it doubly irritated me that in that area I thought we were failing.
There is a kind of boys’ club about Star Trek, do you understand? It’s in the air all around the show, in the producers, in the front office, in the writers’ building. Our actresses were not finding sympathetic ears for the things they had to say, and I think at times they simply got exhausted by the battle.

This was getting a reblog anyway. Then I saw who said it, and hit the thing so hard my iPad flew out of my hand.

I know Gates McFadden and Marina Sirtis both found it ridiculous that in episodes with combat scenes they did stupid girly stuff like drop heavy objects on enemy heads while their male colleagues were using weapons. Gates in particular had a whole lot of combat training as an actor. As Stewart says, their protests were not heard by the higher ups. It got better in later seasons, but clearly there was a presumption about gender roles that treated women differently from men.
