30 years ago this movie was released. It's corny at times and not very accurate, but it's pretty nostalgic for me. I saw it when it the day it was released in 95.

I decided to fire up the ole blue ray player and rewatch it tonight. I realized I had missed something when I first saw it: in one of the opening scenes, Dade, our antihero star, is "taking over a TV station" so he can watch the outer limits. Currently being broadcast is a very racist TV show about how white people are superior are better then black people and other minorities. The tape is ejected and we see the name of the videos "America first".

It made me laugh out loud how 30 years later we are still experiencing the same rhetoric, and the same racism, using the same titles.

From the article: "We revisit this classic '90s flick and talk to its genius costume designer Roger K. Burton. (And yes, we've got never-before-seen pics!)"

Read this article a while back and thought I would share it. I love how much the movie ingrains itself in some of us - like it really did make us who we are.

I've always like finding places that have been in movies. I live in Durham, so seeing my whole city in the movie Bull Durham and being able to walk where the actors walked is really satisfying to me. I dont know why.

I've been to new york a couple of times. The first time I visited, I swear we ate in the same restaurant where Agent Gil had his card cut, but I cannot remember the location exactly.

I also saw the Lloyds building in London last year!.. but I most hunted down Harry Potter locations while I was there.

I don't know about anyone else, but when I saw Hackers, it opened a world of music to me as well. This is still one of my favorite songs of all time.

I swear, I will own Dade's jacket before I die.
