| 32993 | Friday Night Videos | I have tried for years to explain to guys outside the Seattle area what it was like to live here back in the 80's and 90's - no one believes me!<div><br></div><div>The Seattle area had 3 independent TV stations when I moved in 1980. By 1985 these stations came alive on Friday nights trying to outdo each other covering Seattle's growing music scene.</div><div><br></div><div>The network affiliate stations were not willing to be left out. The NBC affiliate, KING-TV 5, often preempted network scheduled shows to run live music from around the area - much of it flat-out wonderful!</div><div><br></div><div>But few shows, not even "Goodnight L.A.", could touch one of the best music shows I've ever seen - anywhere.</div><div><br></div><div>From 1989 to 1999, "Bomb Shelter Video" ran 90 minutes of some of the most amazing live performances ever captured in local dance clubs, all over the Seattle area.</div><div><br></div> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/S2FUqNljwLs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><div><br> <div>Check this out - each week Bomb Shelter Video had an "open house" for music fans to walk into the studio and share any homemade videos of favorite bands from the local scene. Then the Bomb Shelter film team would select good bands and drop-in to a local club and film live for the Friday night broadcast. </div><div><br></div><div>In some cases music fans with a track record of catching hot, new talent would be given "loaner" video recording equipment and their freelance discoveries would air on the show as time allowed.</div><div><br></div><div>Here's one of the show's intros:</div><div><br></div> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1xDEk-v7234" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><br> <div>And remember, Bomb Shelter was just one of at least three popular local music shows. NBC's Saturday Night Live had a difficult time keeping Seattle tuned in. There was simply too much good stuff on air in the Pacific Northwest.</div></div><div><br></div><div>Oh yes, this was back when Seattle local television introduced Bill Nye to a national audience with a comedy show that sometimes drew a larger audience than NBC's SNL:</div><div><br></div> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/B7QtRCGQmrc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> | eddstarr | Jan 13, 2017 |  |

| 32991 | Ghostubusters (1984) and Ghostbusters II | I loved the 1984 "Ghostbusters". It had a wonderful mixture of comedy and thrills. I didn't like "Ghostbusters II" because I wasn't a fan of the concept of the team as scattered pariahs back at square one. Finally, I have to say that I liked the 2016 "Ghostbusters" as much as the 1984 version. I liked the new team, especially Kate McKinnon as Holtzman. I think she deserves a Best Supporting Actress nomination at the Oscars, but since "Ghostbusters (2016)" was a flop, it probably won't get better.<br><br>Put briefly, this is my ranking of the three movies:<br><br>1.) "Ghostbusters" (1984)<br>2.) "Ghostbusters" (2016)<br>3.) "Ghostbusters II"<br> | Caps 2.0 | Jan 13, 2017 | |
