I’m so old I remember…

[Wonderer67]

Cold War movies

Man, I remember the day after was pretty damn realistic for the mid 80s.

And now wargames doesn’t sound too unrealistic.

I’m so old I really believed that quick sand was going to be my life’s biggest risk.

Did you know that quicksand porn is a thing?

Found this at a yard sale for fifty cents. 8mm, has to be worth a couple of bucks.

The night The Day After premiered someone crashed a car into a pole carrying the only cable TV and telephone feed to our little mountain valley town. It happened during the opening scene.

It was like the original radio broadcast of The War of the World, there were people panicking about a Russian attack.

The movie was hugely hyped and anticipated, the town was pissed! The community tried to arrange for a special showing but the networks said we had to wait for reruns.

 

[CarlyAnn]

Also found this one but it was 75 cents. I splurged…

I’m a little too old to remember home milk delivery, but I remember some people in our town still got milk delivered in the mid to late 70s. Now milk delivery is back.

I remember local soda too in the same timeframe before the big conglomerates took over.

Old school beer. Ballantine and Pabst.

A hilarious movie. (And also a mad mad mad mad world)

I don’t like remakes, but they could easily remake that these days given the political climate.

The name Billy beer sounds like something that would be extremely popular with dad's of a prior era.
