The lightning strike sequence in BACK TO THE FUTURE (1985) is still pure cinematic magic.
Alan Silvestri’s score builds the tension perfectly as the DeLorean races toward the exact moment that changes everything.
JURASSIC PARK (1993) still has that rare kind of movie magic where the effects never feel like the main attraction. The practical work gives every shot weight, and John Williams’ score turns their first reveal into pure cinematic wonder.
The Rocketeer.
Promo shot. Campbell. Connelly. Helmet circled around her back like they just stepped off the poster.
Leather and a white dress. 1991 looking like a date night that got a jet pack. I love this movie.
Mr. Belding: The Suit That Told Him He Wasn't Finished Yet
When Good Morning, Miss Bliss was canceled, Dennis Haskins had every reason to think his run as Principal Richard Belding was over.
He'd gone through seven auditions just to get the job. Then producer Peter Engel told the cast that Disney had decided not to continue the series.
But Haskins started hearing strange little clues.
First, a prop guy approached him and said they'd been told to save the sets.
Then someone from wardrobe came over with an even bigger clue:
They'd been told to save his suits.
That was how Haskins learned Mr. Belding wasn't finished.
NBC had acquired the rights to four characters from the original show, and Mr. Belding was one of them. The concept was reworked into Saved by the Bell, where Haskins became the principal generations of viewers would remember from Bayside High.
Dennis Haskins died yesterday at 75.
RIP to one of Saturday morning TV's most loved principals. ❤️
I remember this one
It was on the blank VHS tape my parents taped for me when I was a little boy, it was back to back with Sesame Street episodes
If I remember correctly, there was some flying rocking horse during the puppet segment and a whole kind of poem to get it down
🛝 Remember when playgrounds started looking like this?
By the 1980s, communities were swapping metal for big wooden playgrounds, interconnected forts and mini-castles built for climbing and imaginative play.
In 1986, Mister Rogers visited a newly built one in Ithaca, New York, designed with input from kids and adults.
Most of those wooden playgrounds didn’t last. Splinters, rot, maintenance costs, falls and updated safety standards led towns to replace them in the 1990s and early 2000s with plastic and coated-metal equipment.
For a generation of kids, they were more than playgrounds; they were places where ordinary afternoons became little adventures… Oh, just watch out for those pesky bees and wasps 🐝
@exploding_girl@KenBorsuk1 And now for my final tweet thought...nobody wins when Superfriends put their petty squabbles above the welfare of Alejandra's. Let's hope they put their differences aside and do what's best for her....ow! What the, get the (bleep) Superfriend off!Son of a....
You know, from what I saw so far of the original vs. the reboot, it seems the reboot's version's scientific knowledge, and love of it, looked more natural, as if you couldn't see that he was just acting like a scientist.
The TV series featuring the man who could seemingly do anything with some bubble gum and a paper clip, "MacGyver," debuted on this date in 1985. Starring Richard Dean Anderson, the series ran for seven seasons and 139 episodes.
BITE-SIZED FACT | The word "MacGyver" became so associated with ingenious problem-solving that "MacGyver" was later added as a verb to the Oxford English Dictionary. #80s
