3878ArticleHoju KoolanderDitto for me on The Monster at the End of This Book, between that and his Super Grover persona, it's no wonder the little blue guy was my favorite character on Sesame Street. I had totally forgotten about Caps For Sale, that was a great one. May 04, 2017View
3877ArticleLazloI think it was an important moment, if you were like me growing up (and as an adult). I was the bookworm who spent a lot of time at the library, with an interest in nerdy stuff like history. I think these '80s nerd flicks, as campy and comical as they are on the surface, actually had a deeper message. It was about appreciating being nerdy and being into knowledge, and not being ashamed of it . . . and having fun with it too. Real Genius is still one of my fave flicks.The 1980s: When Nerds Became CoolMay 04, 2017View
3876ArticleBenjanimemy parents are into the series a lot more than i am to be honest, i'd been more of a lord of the rings guy. i dunno, i mean i enjoyed reading the books and watching the movie adaptations but i never got into it. still this was a fairly enjoyable read and i liked hearing about your fascination about the series.

3875ArticleCyrogenicOf the all the books on this list, I've remember reading Just Go to Bed, Miss Nelson is Missing, and If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. I loved reading If You Give a Mouse a Cookie the most. Miss Nelson's fake substitute teacher creeped me the most, LOL.My favorite children's books growing upMay 03, 2017View
3872ArticleVaporman87The Monster At The End of This Book was a favorite of mine as well. They reworked it for mobile devices and it's actually very cool. My kids loved it... for a time. My favorite children's books growing upMay 02, 2017View
3871ArticleVaporman87It's fun to see how far the evolution of Nerd acceptance has come from the '80s to now. But it certainly does have it's roots in '80s cinema and the effects of that on our culture. The 1980s: When Nerds Became CoolMay 02, 2017View

3869ArticlejkatzHuh, I always thought (assumed) that Toto's "Africa" was written specifically for this event. It'd be interesting if this sort of widespread collaboration were to happen with today's top artistsRemembering Live Aid (1985)Apr 26, 2017View
3867ArticleHoju KoolanderWhile I was not quite old enough to experience these events in real time, their influence was felt in so many parodies on my favorite sitcoms like The Simpsons with "Sending Our Love Down The Well" and an episode of Married...With Children featuring "washed up" musicians singing "We Are The Old" to name a few.Remembering Live Aid (1985)Apr 24, 2017View
3866ArticleHoju KoolanderYes, more of these Wizard excerpts please. I definitely tuned into MANTIS as well. It was a very cool premise, though it was always just a countdown to when/how his suit would give out. The image selected for the Swamp Thing blurb is from The Return of Swamp Thing movie (which is mega fun) not the TV show (Which didn't​ have the same wacky spirit). I saw Mask of the Phantasm in theaters, it was just an extra long episode, nothing great. Rob Leifeld was always claiming he had a movie based on one of his creations coming out, that never happened. I remember Badrock and Prophet starring Tom Cruise specifically. And yes, Vaporman87 is right, I LOVE The Shadow. Alec Baldwin and his supporting cast have such great banter in a beautiful 1930s throwback setting. Just go in expecting more humor than gritty action and you will be entertained, though it has some cool special effects scenes.Andy Mangels Hollywood Heroes From May 1993Apr 24, 2017View
