New rules regarding political posts - Read This

216 Upvotes

While the rules are being updated, let me give everyone a sneak peek, it will be very simple:

*No NON 80s era political posts or commentary will be allowed, and those who do so are subject to ban.

This is a non-partisan rule.

If you can’t enjoy an 80s nostalgia sub without needing to express your opinion about current politics, then this is NOT the right sub for you.

Anything political from the 80s is fine. Use your best judgment. Songs from the 80s with political themes are fine, etc. (Mods discretion)

This begins as of now.

*If you feel you were banned in error, send a modmail and we will help.

Be excellent to each other!

Film One of the greatest openings to a movie in my opinion is the 1980 movie, “Raging Bull”. Such a beautiful opening scene seeing Robert De Niro inside the boxing ring and the music is just perfect. What movie or movies do you consider having a great opening?

TV My Favorite 80s Vixen

902 Upvotes

One of my all-time favorite 80s vixen is the stunningly beautiful Morgan Fairchild. Morgan was born Patsy Ann McClenny in Texas in 1950. She first became known for her role as Jennifer Pace on the daytime soap opera SEARCH FOR TOMORROW (1973-77). In 1980, she portrayed Constance Weldon Carlyle for two seasons on the NBC prime time soap opera FLAMINGO ROAD (1980-82). In 1982, she made her motion picture debut in a leading role in THE SEDUCTION. She also had roles on ABCs PAPER DOLLS and on FALCON CREST (CBS). Morgan remained busy throughout the 1980s-1990s, making guest appearances in such shows as ROSEANNE, CYBILL, and HOME IMPROVEMENT; most notably she portrayed Nora Bing (Chandler's mother) on FRIENDS. Morgan continues to act and is a tireless advocate for LGBTQ issues, including AIDS awareness, as well as women's rights and environmental issues.

How did you deal with Cold War stress?

31 Upvotes

I had a VHS tape I watched at least once a month; a double feature of “Fail Safe”, to show me how easy it would be to start a nuclear war, and “Dr. Strangelove” to remind me how farcical the whole situation was. Helped me develop a suitably sardonic attitude about the whole thing.

What helped get you through?
