| 37379 | What song are you listening to? | <div>I can't get enough of her music right now.</div><div><br></div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4mQdYlNEkQQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> | Jrs1991 | Sep 07, 2017 |  |
| 37378 | Why Is Modern Pop Music So Terrible? | It doesn't. There is A LOT of really great modern music. I could recommend a bunch but i don't think anyone would even give it a chance. It's just "the thing" for people to say and they've been saying it forever. It was said with elvis, the beatles, abba, michael jackson, and they will keep saying it. A lot of people say it without actually listening to much of it, they'll hear one lame song and then say EVERYTHING is bad, when it's not true, there's a lot of great stuff.<br> | Jrs1991 | Sep 07, 2017 | |

| 37375 | The Café | The other day I am speaking with an employee at the yogurt shop about movies. I mention a quote from "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" that he doesn't get. After realizing he hadn't seen the film, I started rattling off other John Hughes movies. He had never heard of any of them. Not Breakfast Club. Not Ferris Bueller's Day Off... none. I then mentioned John Hughes, and received yet another blank look. <br><br>This is unacceptable in a business that I own. I will not tolerate such a lack of '80s knowledge, even from Millennials. So I am instituting an '80s exam. They will watch 5 films of my choosing, and be tested on them. The person with the best score will get lunch on me, and will have the final hour of one of their shifts covered by me.<br><br>I weep for this generation, but I won't stand idly by as they proceed through life in ignorance of the greatness that was the '80s. If you are going to work for me... you are going to LEARN! <img src="http://retro-daze.org/images/smilies/MavLaugh.gif"><img src="http://retro-daze.org/images/smilies/MavEvil.gif"> | Vaporman87 | Sep 07, 2017 | |

| 37373 | Oldies | <blockquote rel="Mr Magic" style="font-style: normal;"><b>Mr Magic wrote :</b><br><i> I never saw a beach party movie in my life, but after seeing this video, I might do so. </i><b>-end quote</b></blockquote><br><div style="font-style: normal;">Mr. Magic, the beach party movie genre of the '60s was great fun. I definitely recommend checking out at least one or two of them one day. <span style="font-size: 10pt;">I'm a big enough fan of the genre that I could definitely help recommending some of the better beach party films. </span><i style="font-size: 10pt;">Beach Party</i><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> and </span><i style="font-size: 10pt;">Beach Blanket Bingo</i><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> are considered by most to be the best of the bunch. You might want to check out one or both of those. </span><i style="font-size: 10pt;">Beach Blanket Bingo</i><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> is often considered to be the best by critics, but </span><i style="font-size: 10pt;">Beach Party</i><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> came first and is my personal favorite.</span></div><div style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br></span></div><div style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">As for that clip, I remember first seeing it while watching AMC's American Pop, which was a short-lived block on AMC where the network would air an old movie (often a beach party film) and then follow it up with old trailers, music clips, and drive-in movie ads to round out the two hour time slot. It makes me very nostalgic just thinking about it because that block was the beginning of me becoming fascinated with '60s pop culture.</span></div> | Superman | Sep 06, 2017 | |

| 37370 | Antz vs A Bugs Life | <blockquote rel="echidna64" style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;"><b>echidna64 wrote :<br></b><i>I do prefer Antz, the termite scene alone gives it the edge. As you said, it has deeper meaning and symbolism behind it with the main character having an existential crisis.<div><br></div><div>A Bug's Life is very light on story, Flik's only real character trait is that he is clumsy. </div> </i><b>-end quote</b></blockquote>The termite scene is great, probably one of the best scenes from a 90's film. I love the dialogue between Z and Barbatus leading into the battle:<div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style=""><b><u>Z</u>: So these... these termites... their... their... these guys are not going to put up much of a fight right? I mean, we're talking about pushovers right?</b></div><div style="font-style: normal;"><b><br></b></div><div style="font-style: normal;"><b><u>Barbatus</u>: Not really kid. Their five times our size, and they shoot acid from their foreheads.</b></div><div style="font-style: normal;"><b><br></b></div><div style="font-style: normal;"><b>*Z stops walking in horror at what he just heard*</b></div><div style="font-style: normal;"><b><br></b></div><div style="font-style: normal;">But I wouldn't go so far as to say that Flik had only a one real character trait. I think he is very similar to Hercules from the 97 Disney film: He's a good hearted person that want's to <span style="font-size: 10pt;">get on the right side of his community. He's destructive when all he tries to do is help. He doesn't feel like he belongs, and all he wants is to be liked by the people around him.</span></div> | Rick Ace Rhodes | Sep 06, 2017 | |
