This past year, I feel like I have been experiencing deja vu with the plethora of movie remakes, return of 80s fashions and my current living arrangement, all very reminiscent of my childhood. So without further ado I will take a minute to point out my top 10 best (and worst) comebacks this year so far. I've also included some informational links for your reading (and viewing) pleasure.
Top 10 Retro Moments of 2008
1. Indiana Jones returns- when I was in middle school I was obsessed. I think I watched Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom at least once a week and Harrison Ford was my George Clooney. Here's info on the newest chapter in the Indy story: http://www.indianajones.com/site/index.html
2. The comeback tour of New Kids on the Block - I'm not ashamed to say that I owned the new kids sleeping bag in my youth. However, I will probably have to miss out on their upcoming concert. Let's be honest, they're a lot cuter without the early 90s hair... http://nkotb.com/
3. Moving back to Joan & Denny's house - it still feels surreal. Somebody pinch me...
4. Fraggle Rock movie rumors - I mean who didn't love the muppets as a kid? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0481649/
5. Paula Abdul releases a single - Although her newest release couldn't even be considered good and she's definitely crazy, there's no denying that Straight Up was crazy good back in the day. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iu4NcgQZucE
6. Chronicles of Narnia - one of my favorite book series of all time as a child finally got made into a blockbuster hit! The sequel, Prince Caspian, comes out soon! http://disney.go.com/disneypictures/narnia/
7. Mario Kart - although not a glorious as the original Nintendo, the Wii version of Mario Kart brings fond memories of hours spent in the basement of my neighbor's house as a child. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mario_Kart
8. The Apple/Mac is at the cutting edge of technology - Yes, we still have our family's first-ever computer which was a 1984 Mac fully equipped with programs such as Clarisworks and Word Perfect. Ours seriously looks like the computer: http://oldcomputers.net/macintosh.html
9. Sleeping over at my friend's house - only this time it's because I've had a bit too much to drink to make it home...
10. Bold & vibrant colors - I distinctly remember a pair of jean shorts I had in the early 1990s that were this color. Let's just cross our fingers that we will never have to wear scrunchies or scrunched down socks ever again. http://oldcomputers.net/macintosh.html
