1593	Article	Vaporman87	LOL. Yeah. I would say, at that point, that she MAY require a bit of guidance on reality. Oh yeah... I forgot to mention that I laughed out loud (for real) when I read that caption below the WWF Spinners, "Not Spinjas".		Dec 10, 2014
1603	Article	Vaporman87	Holy cow! Apparently Spinjas are more popular now than 1990!	1990 - The Year Santa Died	Dec 11, 2014
1604	Article	Vaporman87	You and me both SoF. Those early/mid 80's toys were the ones I played with more than any others. I got so much use out of my Masters of the Universe/G.I. Joe/Star Wars/Transformers/Thundercats toys that they probably looked like 50 people played with them.	Christmas of 1994	Dec 11, 2014

1631	Article	Vaporman87	Where to begin? My main memory of this movie is that, the months leading up to (and after) it's release were what I'd call "Batmania". NEVER before in my youth had I witnessed a marketing push like that which this movie enjoyed. As you said, you could not escape it... no matter where you were. I had seen products emblazoned with the bat symbol that would never had occurred to me to be something you'd market a film on. It was just insane. And the thing was, I fully recognized it. Even then, at the tender age of 16, only just becoming allowed to drive by myself, I would often think, "Man, this is just crazy." And it worked. That movie was all you read about, heard about, or talked about when it came to films that year. And that's saying a lot, because '89 is arguably one of the best years ever for movies (from a fan perspective anyways). I had that magazine you pictured (might even still have it somewhere). And I know I still have the semi-hardback comic based on the film. I think I may even still have a very threadbare black t-shirt with the '89 bat symbol on it. No doubt about it... 1989 was the year of "The Bat".	Batman '89 Remembered	Dec 14, 2014
1633	Article	Vaporman87	Ahh, man. I share your joy of reminiscing about the use of the record function of cassette recorders/players of our day. Only, where you were delighting in capturing your favorite songs of the day, I was using mine to preserve, for all time, my ability to pretend to be a DJ/Radio Talk Show Host/Sportscaster... along with some buddies of mine. I have probably 40 cassettes containing various mixes of those pretending sessions. Some were actually funny, most were only funny to me and the people I recorded them with. Though, something tells me they will be found humorous again someday when my kids find them and start listening to dad acting a fool in his youth. E.T. was huge for sure. My mom even had somebody she knew make an E.T. cake for me. But this was not a sheet cake with E.T. painted on with icing. It was a cake IN THE SHAPE of E.T.! Probably about 2 feet high. It tasted... awful. But man... it was cool to look at. Thanks for sharing this with us OldSchool. It's good to read something from you again.	My Christmas 1982	Dec 14, 2014
1635	Article	Vaporman87	One other memory that this article popped into my head, although a bit off topic, was that the first toy my dad purchased for me in the aftermath of my parents divorce, was a Super Powers Mantis figure. I don't know why, but that has stuck with me for my whole life. <img src="http://www.kennersuperpowers.com/spfigures/mantis-2s-fc-a.jpg"></img>	Batman '89 Remembered	Dec 15, 2014
1643	Article	Vaporman87	We will be getting Avengers 2 and Star Wars... so it is bound to be a pretty decent year for sure.	Batman '89 Remembered	Dec 15, 2014
1645	Article	Vaporman87	Perhaps we should exchange audio files of our "ramblings" for laughs. :D We may be the only people (aside from our families) to appreciate such things... ever. LOL	My Christmas 1982	Dec 15, 2014
