| 3949 | Article | Vaporman87 | Thanks for sharing these special memories with your father post-divorce. I know exactly how you felt. I too had to deal with the divorce of my parents at around the same age. It was a difficult time, but it was nice to have the time specifically devoted to doing things together. I lived with my mom until I was old enough to make my own choice of who to live with, and since my mom was moving to another town and I had no interest in losing my friends and making new ones, I moved in with my dad. But I can still remember that first time I visited dad following the split. He took us into town and bought me a Mantis figure from G.C. Murphy's, then we went and watched Silver Bullet. I remember nothing about that movie, but I clearly recall that it was the film we watched. I benefited from the divorce in many ways, but most of all with an expanded family. I earned a brother that I am close to even today, with my dad once again divorced. I met many new people I would have otherwise never known, and experienced new things. Sure it was tough on me, but I don't think I would go back and change anything in regard to their split. | Jun 21, 2017 |  | |
| 3947 | Article | Vaporman87 | Trading cards... NOOOO! These ads came out at a time when my dad was ridiculously obsessed with sports cards. He was buying crazy amounts of them and hoarding them. He would watch late night shopping network shows, buying up the cards. It was a crazy time. So many great "time capsule" ads here. Comics were, and hopefully will always be, a great place to find reflections of our culture in the advertisements. | Retro Comic Book Ads | Jun 21, 2017 | |
| 3946 | Article | Vaporman87 | I saw exactly NONE of these game shows, but a few of them may have been interesting to me had I actually had the opportunity to watch them. Even as an adult, I've only ever heard of Xuxu and Masters of the Maze from this list. Perhaps this is why nobody speaks of them anymore. Because they were so easily missed and faded quickly into obscurity. At least you've given them some present day love. | Five Game Shows No One Talks About Anymore | Jun 21, 2017 | |
| 3945 | Article | Vaporman87 | I would have been 8 at the time E.T. came out, but I don't recall going to see the film, nor do I recall the first time I actually did get to watch it. I wish I did though. My first memory of a movie theater was either Ghostbusters or Gremlins. E.T. was indeed a big pop culture influence. I recall owning an E.T. plush with a special "skin" that was more lifelike than the standard vinyl exterior of some plush toys without fur. And yes, I even owned the infamous E.T. Atari game, though I don't recall feeling it was the worst game ever made at the time. | Seeing E.T. For The First Time | Jun 21, 2017 | |
| 3944 | Article | Vaporman87 | I have a similar fondness for Showbiz Pizza. I read about your memories at DZ and I can feel myself back in Showbiz experiencing many of the same things. Also, I love this line: "...my dad, who could be mistaken for a full grown bear in jeans..." LOL | Discovery Zone: Memories of a Ball Pit | Jun 21, 2017 | |

| 3941 | Article | Vaporman87 | As many times as I've watched this movie, I've never actually viewed Allison's "makeover" in the way you describe. I've never had that "debate". To me, she is just opening herself up to Claire... allowing Claire to share this ritual with her. A bonding moment. It's just that there was the added benefit of Andrew seeing how beautiful she actually is when she is not hiding under a coat and mop of hair. I don't think she changed at all. | The Breakfast Club and Changing Perceptions | Jun 09, 2017 | |
| 3940 | Article | Benjanime | i believe sketch turner was intentionally a dorky hero. his lines were corny enough as they were. | My Five Favorite Super Losers of the 90's | Jun 09, 2017 | |
| 3939 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Fun movie with some great monologues that do make high schoolers stop and think about those roles that are forced on them by others. A bunch of my friends actually performed a scene from The Breakfast Club for a high school talent show, which has always given the film a special place in my heart. | The Breakfast Club and Changing Perceptions | Jun 09, 2017 | |
| 3938 | Article | Hoju Koolander | I remember being baffled by my friend's SuperPro comics because he seemed like the antithesis of every comic book nerd's desires. We're reading comics because we suck at sports, stop rubbing it in our faces! I recently played Comic Zone for the first time after seeing the ads for years and I'm with jkatz, it's actually a really innovative game. But the character designs are completely of the era. Morph was definitely a dud character on the show, but I enjoyed playing with his action figure that came with a decapitated Wolverine head. | My Five Favorite Super Losers of the 90's | Jun 09, 2017 | |
