I have pretty strong nostalgia regarding vintage light effects.
Vibrant blast of light beams: such scheme was very common during 80s days.
I don’t understand why movie industry almost abandoned it in favor of generic non-atmospheric CGI illumination. Just check these light rays out!

Hope that you’ll enjoy and maybe recognize some of them!

This is a German [short film from 2000]
about the first day of Klaus’s work as a forklift driver. The film is a parody of work safety films from the 1980s.
The film was written and directed by Stefan Prehn and Jorg Wagner and stars Konstantin Graudus as the title role of Klaus. The narration was provided by Egon Hoegen, who was known in Germany for narrating road safety films.

….what can i say? I don’t know why it has status of cult tv series. Plot and acting are very plain and sometimes ridiculously childish.
One thing which i know for sure is that film demonstrates pretty good music selection for the era. We can hear not only generic stuff like pop and rock, but more underground things like techno, funk and reggae, which are also here.
My first horror film ever. Watched it as a child. Can’t sleep all night long. [IMDB link]

BBS is acronym which stands for [Bulletin board system]
. It was a distant ancestor of modern internet. In our days of totally non-private web cultivated by google, facebook and apple and other rotten companies BBS could be a neat solution to people who value their privacy and who don’t want to feed greedy corporations with telemery data of their own. Also tech will be useful for people who would like to hide themselves from modern shitty trends and stupid brainwashing or so-called government propaganda.
