The Gen X Thread

So I decided to start a Generation X thread for all us Xers here. I know that judging from my poll, they're aren't many of us here but perhaps we can still make it quite productive and fun.

This will be like our very own little time capsule and perhaps somewhat of a sanctuary from the rest of KMC when need be. Here we can discuss everything that relates specifically to us Xers, past, present and future.

We can discuss such topics as music, culture, movies, politics, TV fashion and trends or anything else that you feel is cool to discuss.

You can talk about how the 'Shining' or 'Poltergiest' totally freaked you out or how you wanted to pledge being a 'Goonie for life'.

How many Molly Ringwald movies did you end up watching? Forced or by choice?

What was your highest score on Space Invaders or Ms. Pacman?

Did you actually own a Teddy Ruxpin or a Cabbage Patch doll, how about a Garbage pail kid?

What type of Underoos did you wear? Mine were He-Man 😄

What exactly did you want from your MTV?
Tiffany or Debbie? Alyssa Milano or Nicole Eggert?drool

Which of the Corey brothers did you think was less of a tool, Haim or Feldman?

Who did you think was cooler Michael J. Fox or Kirk Cameron?

Wasn't Kit the coolest talking car ever?

Which was your favorite catch phrase, 'What you talkin 'bout Willis' or 'I pity the fool!'

Remember how cool they did those special effects in Tron. How about the original Star Wars movies and does the phrase 'I'll be back' still crack you up a bit?

What planet was Alf from again? And why was Smurfette the only female smurf?

What was 'Reaganomics' about anyway and did you actually understand it? How did you feel growing up during the Cold War? And what the hell was that thing on Gorbachev's head anyway?

What is everyone up to these days? How many got married? And how many are raising little smurfs of their own? And how many of us still have our hair?

Well, you get the idea...have fun.

- I actually haven't played Pacman in years, but I remember I've beaten it like 2 or 3 times. And Space invaders I never liked.

-Kit was pretty cool, ey.

- "I pity the foo'"

- Married twice, 3 boys, yeah I still got hair.

And also, I must say that I really miss the horror and action flicks from the 80's. Nowadays, both of those genres have gone to hell in handbasket.

Yeah, those old horror flicks were way cool. 🤘

They just don't seem to make 'em like that anymore.

Thundercats
GI Joe
He-Man
Go-Bots
Transformers
Bionic Six

Those all kicked ass! HOOOOOOOOOOOO!

^ Yeah gotta love the old cartoons. I also Remember the Silverhawks, Ducktales, and Alvin and the Chipmunks

Anyone, remember Brave Star, The Centurions and the Inhumanoids? The Inhumanoids was one of the darkest cartoons I remember watching.

I remember the Centurions lol very cool

I remember that too. Oh, and I loved Alvin and the Chipmunks....ALVIN!!!! And Dave Saville......

Dark Shadows was a soap opera. A Vampire one...lol
Night Gallery - weird scary night show
Get Smart
Love American Style

Quisp and Quake cerial

Hmm what toys did I have...

Hands Down
Twister
Pick up sticks

And McDonalds DID NOT have a play area...

Oh, shag carpeting in bright colors.........

😠

I actually love the movie Sixteen Candles. For those of you who are laughing, you'd be surprised how good it is if you'd sit down and watch it. Okay, I guess it's okay to laugh a little.

Just think of it this way: If you refuse to see the movie, you'll live your whole life without knowing who Long Duck Dong was.

16 Candles??? 😂 And Animal House.

I didn't like Animal House too much. I was more of a Revenge of the Nerds kind of guy. Just ask PVS; he could tell you all about my fascination with Dudley Dawson (Booger).

In fact, I'd even go so far to say that Booger and Long Duck Dong are one of the top 20 movie characters of all time.

Right up there with Hannibal Lector, Superman, William Wallace, and Scarlett O'Hara.

Oh, I saw that one too, along with all the hacker horror movies.....

I was a horror freak..........All the Jason movies, but wow that guy that got you when you were dreaming (forget his name)..ya know, the one with the knives on the edge of his fingers...........scary!!

How could you forget Freddy Krueger? Johnny Depp was in the first one.

One, two, Freddy's coming for you
Three, four, better shut your door
Five, six, grab your crucifix
Seven, eight, gonna stay up late

Don't forget Troll, Critters, Gremlins, and Ghoulies.

Last house on the left
Children of the Corn
Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
House
Beetle Jeeuse (sp) funny funny movie...
