Hard to believe that it’s been five years…. While looking through some old posts, this one from December 20, 2020, the year that Hurricane Laura destroyed my family’s home, popped up in my search string. Although today is December 11, I decided to reblog this old post. Maybe it’s because I’m turning fifty next year,Continue reading “Throwback Thursday: Hurricane Laura And Ninja Turtles”

Throwback Thursday: Wicked (1998)
“Dad, you love me, don’t you?” Tonight we’re taking a trip all the way back to 1998 when Julia Stiles was still a relatively unknown actress, a mere year before her breakout role in 10 Things I Hate About You and three years before her starring role in Save The Last Dance. Yep, tonight we’reContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Wicked (1998)”
Throwback Thursday: 1998 Godzilla/Taco Bell Toys And Cup Holder
“Gojira……Gojira…..Gojiraaaaaaa!” Whether you liked the 1998 film starring Matthew Broderick or not, you can’t deny that the Taco Bell/Godzilla tie-in items were pretty cool. While I didn’t personally go for any of the toys, I did make sure that I got my hands on all of the cups and that wonderful cup holder. I believeContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: 1998 Godzilla/Taco Bell Toys And Cup Holder”
Throwback Thursday: Dungeons And Dragons Toys (1983-84)
“The fantasy comes alive!” Way back in the early 1980s, toy company LJN combined forces with TSR to release a series of toys based upon the popular and, at least in the early 80s, controversial role-playing game, Dungeons & Dragons. Despite my very strong Southern Baptist roots and the alleged Satanic portals that DnD potentiallyContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Dungeons And Dragons Toys (1983-84)”
Throwback Thursday: Chris Latta (1939-1994)
“My time will come.” Odds are that if you were between the ages of six and sixty at any point during the 1980s and early 90s, you came into contact with the work of Chris Latta. Latta, who was also credited as Christopher Collins, voiced many of the iconic villains (and a few heroes) fromContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Chris Latta (1939-1994)”
Throwback Thursday: Debbie Gibson and Tiffany (1980s-90s)
“I think we’re alone now, so let me get lost in your eyes!” Okay, I’ll admit that my heading is a tad lame, but I wanted to find a way in which to combine two of the biggest songs for two of the biggest stars of the late 1980s/early 1990s without showing any favoritism. TiffanyContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Debbie Gibson and Tiffany (1980s-90s)”
Throwback Thursday: Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990-2000)
“First day of school. Strange city, new house, no friends……I’m psyched!” Brandon and Brenda Walsh, Dylan McKay, Kelly Taylor, Steve Sanders, Andrea Zuckerman, Donna Martin, and, heck, even David Silver, are names that are synonymous with the 1990s. Those names, of course, are a list of the primary characters from Beverly Hills, 90210, one ofContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990-2000)”
Throwback Thursday: Captain America (1990)
“Kirk…Mr. Lolley…He’s So Demanding!” Yes, I’m absolutely aware that the above quote is from 1985’s Teen Wolf. I’m also aware of the fact that some of you are probably scratching your heads as to why I’m quoting that film and not Captain America (1990), the film that is the subject of this post. Well, IContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Captain America (1990)”
Throwback Thursday: Congo (1995)
“We are watching you….” While plenty of films based upon Michael Crichton novels were released prior to it, the success of 1993’s Jurassic Park ignited film studio interest in Michael Crichton’s books like never before. In quick succession, films based on Crichton’s work were cranked out by the Hollywood machine. None of them came closeContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Congo (1995)”
Throwback Thursday: Reign Of Fire (2002)
“Keep both eyes on the sky.” Batman, Wooderson, a Bond Girl, King Leonidas, Dr. Bashir, the Borg Queen, and Joffrey Baratheon walk into a post-apocalyptic world ruled by dragons…..Sounds like a bad joke, right? Well, in 2002’s Reign of Fire, that’s exactly what happened. Christian Bale, Matthew McConaughey, Izabella Scorupco, Gerard Butler, Alexander Siddig, AliceContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Reign Of Fire (2002)”
