Did you guys know that, in the #80s it was illegal to make a film that did not have Kenny Loggins on the soundtrack?
It’s 100% true.

If you decided to test the law, you were subject to a $25,000 fine and time served. That was the rule.

There’s no need to look it up and fact check it.
It’s true.
Trust me.

9,428 movies came out between 1980-1989.

ALL OF THEM featured a Kenny Loggins song.

I swear, sometimes I'm ridiculously sensitive. I'm watching #IndianaJones #TheLastCrusade and I'm feeling bad for the sewer rats running away from the fire set to smoke Indy out like "aw. Poor babies didn't deserve that".

As I work today I'm listening to the soundtrack from the 1982 Conan the Barbarian film that was composed by Basil Poledouris. Things are feeling fairly barbaric at the moment here in the Arizona desert

Really cool Fango piece on the differences between The Thing film and the book it was based on. Some wild differences, and some good history on the movie. This was a great read.

Shown Ghostbusters (1984) to my 9 year old kid and she “didn’t know what to think of it”, which is a small victory considering she deemed Jurassic Park (1993) “boring”.

Random memory: the movie D.A.R.Y.L.

I saw that movie once as a kid and loved it and never could find it again. I think my dad rented it from the video store on base, and they stopped carrying it at some point. None of my German friends had ever heard of it.

Wasn't until over a decade later that I got confirmation that I hadn't actually dreamed it or something.

Data Analyzing Robot Youth Lifeform.

I remember it as a sad movie.

I bet it hasn't aged well.
