I was born in 77 and so there were still a lot of 70s stuff around when I was a kid. Cars, furniture and my grandmothers wardrobe. When I watch movies from the 70s though, everything looks so dirty and falling apart. I know midnight cowboy and thr French connection are set in thr seeder parts of NYC, I still feel. Like that's what big cities looked like. Though LA comes off good in the 70s if nice guys and boogie nights are accurate.

Like Neapolitan, but instead of chocolate they had blueberry with little white candy stars mixed in. Not a favorite ‘70s thing: reading Jonathan Livingston Seagull in English class.

I was born in 1967 70s fashion was a hell of a thing and it came on fast 1969 Here are me and my siblings with another family's kids (me on the left, sister 3rd from left, brother on the right)  Pretty normal 1971 With siblings and the Atherton cousins. We are now in the 70s (and in color!)  1974 Same group at Christmas  1975  It was a time of clothes from Sears or made by Mom if you were a small town middle class kid

Keith Atherton posted:I was born in 1967 You look like you should be one of those Family Christian Bands in the last 2. 1971 looks pretty good actually. Something i associate strongly with the 70s is, well, pedophilia. There's so many songs and movies that have older guys banging young women, and we're talking like teens. Look at Billy Joel's Only the Good Die Young, its this upbeat fun song unless you listen to the lyrics because its very clearly about some catholic schoolgirl trying to be hosed by a adult man. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhjNm20XbXw There's a lot of questionable stuff like T&A movies having girls say they're in the 10th grade and such (though clearly the actor is in their 20s or older, still). And I don't want to admit too much stuff but I do enjoy 70s porn for its cheeseyness and weird attempts to make the bangin' actually be part of a plot. Though its hard because I know the porn industry in the 70s is really questionable with how they treated the women in it, though in what I've read, its not all good, but not all bad. And again, you have stuff questionable scenarios set in high schools where they roundabout suggest the actors are playing young teens. I do have a thing for Desiree Cousteau  She's just so 70s cute. That was the only work safe picture i could find out her hah

UFO The original designer of X-Com has said that this show was, in part, an inspiration for the game - I guess it looking too much like it would have been too risky/on the nose, but enough time has passed that I bet they could make a swinging seventies X-Com in this aesthetic and it would be terrific. twistedmentat posted:That's like Thunderbirds, but with real people. And UFO, Thunderbirds, and Space: 1999 were all produced by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson - man, how much cultural influence did these two end up wielding, if you draw out the family trees?

Vinegar Syndrome restores basically forgotten and uncared for films including a lot of old porn to DVD and Blu-Ray from 35mm.There's also The Rialto Report Podcast which is really fascinating and dedicated to capturing the oral history (no pun intended) of the '70's porn scene.

Polyester slacks and shirts with wild patterns. Lines for summer blockbusters that went around the block(one summer blockbuster per year). Sharp edged metal objects and rough concrete in kiddy playgrounds. One color TV in the house that I only had control of on Saturday mornings... Waking up early for Saturday morning cartoons. Being angry because the Watergate hearings pre-empted afternoon TV. Big Jim, Micronauts, Gi Joe with Kung Fu Grip, Action Jackson, Pulsar, Six Million Dollar Man action figures. Six Million Dollar Man/Bionic Woman TV shows-also Wonder Woman, Incredible Hulk and Spider-Man on TV... Sid and Marty Krofft TV shows. Being sent to the store to buy cigarettes for adult family members. Sometimes from machines in nearby bars. Struggling to stay up late to watch Saturday night horror movies on Chiller Theater (RIP Chilly Billy). TV channels that signed off/went off the air at around 1 or 2 am. TVs that took a while to "warm up". When you turned them off, the picture would compress into that little white dot. Being able to go to the movies with only 2 dollars to my name .50c for round trip bus fare, 1.00 for admission. 2 features-sometimes 3 PLUS cartoons. .50c for popcorn and soda. Free roaming outside play. My only limitation was "Boy, you'd better be on this front porch by the time the street lights come on". I could go anywhere my legs or bike would carry me. I'll think of more later. I'm old. Born in 1967 ova heah.

Which some may recognise as being inspired by Chris Foss. Google Image Search his name. For a huge part of my childhood and teenage years, when I dreamed of escape, I dreamed in lines painted by Chris Foss. And speaking of TV, who could forget the test pattern?  Age certainly hasn't helped them any, but old TV shows really were that blurry. 405 lines was standard. If you were lucky, and there wasn't any sort of weather happening, you might even be able to tune in to a channel broadcasting in UHF with super high def 625 lines. * There's another thing about the past which sucked - TV shows and movies taking literally years to make their way to us. It's only in the last decade that things have gotten better, but you can still expect to wait months to see anything unless it's a big hit. It's 2018 and "Fast-tracked from the US" is still something TV networks put on their lovely reality shows, like attaching a loving MP4 to an email is some kind of heroic achievement for them.
