The Best Decade Ever.
2005-02-07, 7:48 PM #41
1880's maybe.


00's just suck, we have the rise stupid teeny boppers with hippy ideals that don't even know why they have them. At least in 90's they were just teeny boppers that you never heard about.

90's I would say were pretty good though..I mean you could play with replica guns in the middle of the street and people wouldn't think you were some 8 year old terrorist.

The 60's or the 90's. I don't think either needs any more explanation.

I'd say the 50s, 60s, or the 80s. The toys were the greatest. I'd actually lean more towards the 50s/60s because things were safe, but there was still a threat of another world war, so there was a lot of military stuff done. New fighters and bombers rolled off assembly lines everyday. If you were a kid, you could ride your bike to the airfield and watch them fly around. Shoot...you could walk right up and touch them! My dad used to live near an Air Force base in Utah and he talks about riding his bike over to a hill that was like a thousand feet from the runway. All the time, these huge C-124 cargo planes would take off. The 60s rock too, because the Space Race was at its peak and it was the biggest thing since sliced bread. The ultimate outlet for the all-American boy who was a dreamer. What do kids nowadays have to dream about? It took Star Wars, my dad working at the airport, and Apollo 13 to get me to dream that much. My dad could've done it so easily back then and did. He wound up becoming an aircraft mechanic. Not as much of a dreamjob as astronaut or pilot, but still it involves airplanes--something dreams are made of.

The cartoons rocked in the 80s. MASK, Silverhawks, He-Man, C.O.P.S., Gummi Bears, Duck Tales. The Disney Channel was better in the 80s, too. They had that "world of tomorrow" show called Imagine, where Macs were just being introduced and The Empire Strikes Back and TRON had just come out. Plus Disney actually showed those movies. I loved all the featurettes they had about Disney World, too. It was almost like going. I'd always drool over Epcot and Star Tours. Pirates of the Caribbean would creep me out a little bit, just because they were robots. Plus, like they actually showed stuff Walt Disney made. The only thing he didn't really make was Zorro, which was still quality entertainment.

LIZZIE FREAKIN MCGUIRE? Where does she fit into that rich heritage and legacy? NOWHERE. Michael Eisner, you SUCK. That's why your sorry butt was terminated. Bring back Roy. The man knows how to run his uncle's company right and that's to ACKNOWLEDGE his uncle. Running Disney like it has been is like running a church without Jesus. You miss the point. It's like Eisner's ashamed of anything associated with Donald, Mickey, or Goofy. You've gotta go to Disney World to see them. Oh sure, Mickey might pop up on one of those cruise line commercials, but he's not the face of Disney anymore.

Hmm...I don't really want to rant but I might as well, since I just thought about Pixar being a big part of Disney the past few years. That's been the face of Disney. While I loved The Incredibles, it's still not going to make up for losing the old Disney. It's not fun for the whole family anymore--just teenie boppers. It's my privilege and responsibility to honor a once-great source of entertainment by owning The Rocketeer, Flight of the Navigator, and Tron. They weren't made by Walt, but they certainly are things that Lizzie McGuire can't hold candles to.

The Emporer's New Groove is a quality Disney movie. It's not all bad news these days.

If I had my choice I wouldn't have been born till the 90's.

/me quivers at 80's big hair and tight pants along with poor metal, ugly boxy cars, and bad quality SFX.

A few good things have come from the 80's though.
Nintendo and Star Wars, well Star Wars was mostly 70's but ROTJ was 80's if I am not mistaken.

Oh forgot to mention that the 00's are the best.

Wendel, what are you talking about "poor metal"?? The 80's were when some of the best metal came out! This was back when Metallica was still making awesome music, and Megadeth was still a band you could call your own because they weren't as popular. 80's metal blows away any metal of the 90's (oh wait, there was no metal in the 90's) and 00's. And I'm not talking about Hair Metal either.
Who made you God to say "I'll take your life from you"?

The 1980s is awesome. The era of metal, action movies, and decent TV. I would miss the technology we have today, though.
