Something less serious… The 80’s were silly

In the 80’s I paid my way thru college (or more properly earned a couple of bucks on the side) as a professional DJ playing “Top 40” music with an Urban emphasis.

What this means is that I know “Buffalo Dance” and “Cherry Pie” by heart whether I want to or not.

I found myself listening to one of my compilation discs last night on the ‘drive home.’

I realized… You know this stuff was big and popular.. I really loved some of these songs… but in retrospect… They’re really silly. The whole group was just, really… silly.

So, I’m curious… It’s a top 5 list.

What are the 5 acts of the 80s that you liked, loved, knew were popular… but… 15-25 years later… Wow. What were they thinking. What were we thinking?!?!

Results.. next week 🙂

Sci-Fi poll: A quick update and a new poll coming

So far, I am up to 300 shows. Special thanks to meerkat299 who’s single contribution of over 250 programs has been hard to top. I’ve been pleased to see people come up with shows he left out.

This post will be for discussion, and possible an age old flame war.

Already, I’ve gotten people who’ve brought up the Buffy-question. Is Buffy really Science fiction. It is obviously a show based in fantasy (Monsters, ghosts, and things that go bump in the night) but… it also dealt with science fiction in the use of robots, and super soldiers… Where does it lie?

So the question becomes, do we look into the differences between Sci-Fi and Fantasy for this project or do we lump them together? It is certainly possible to collect data where people rank, if a show is sci-fi/fantasy/or both.

So, do I include all ‘genre’ that could be fantasy, sci-fi, etc… or do we try to fight the debates as we go?

Comments on this will be public 🙂

MOVIES: I’ve reactivated Netflix

So, I’ve gone and re-activated Netflix. The selection has gotten to the point where I really can feel comfortable trying a disc before I go add it to the collection.

So, I’m curious if you use Netflix, what you think, and if you’d like me to add you to the Netflix friend thing to exchange queues and recommendations.
