God, the 80's, I swear I can't believe I was born in 1980. That was a weird ass decade to grow up in... The big hair was so ugly on chicks. And this Pat Benatar song will probably be stuck in my head now, THANKS GUY, GEEZ!
I remember how popular'80s culture was in the early 2000s. Come to think about it, a particular decades culture always resurfaces 20 years later. think about it, in the 1970s, 50s culture made a comeback with the show Happy Days. In the 1980's, 60's culture came back in the form of new hippies and clothing. In the 1990s, the 70s were popular once again with bell bottom jeans and That 70s show. See a pattern here? Now that we are in the 2010's, 90's culture has made a comeback.
You're not the first person to mention that nostalgia has a twenty-year lag. Now that we're in 2021, 2000's nostalgia is starting to creep up; the only problem is that, when I think of early 2000's culture, I think of nostalgia culture itself, what with the preponderance of "I Love the 80's" and things of that nature.
To think that they couldn't even fully computer-generate a character like this in the 80s, and had to fudge it by basing it on a real actor. That's with the best computers money could buy back then.
Indeed. Hipsters have been around for a bit too long. If I remember correctly, according to various fashion and history websites, the hipster culture had in the late '40s and constantly evolved.
the best period EVER.max headroom was the best thing on tv,they should make something liek that on youtube or web tv with mim now.the 80's were so full of cool things.and pat benatar was my childhood's sex dream :P
Max is Matt Frewer. Yes, the Neighbor dad from "Honey I shrunk the kids" The guy with the melted face on "The Stand" crying out, "For you my lord, I bring the fire....for you! " Looking into the past is so damn embarrassing, I remember when "Weekend at Bernie's" was hilarious. I saw it on television and it was fucking retarded. Politicians were in an uproar over the "Hot for Teacher" video. A collection of South Park episodes dropped on 1986 America would have been an awesome spectacle.
There's a brand spankin new Max Headroom commercial. Look up Max Headroom digital cable. And it's the real one :) Maybe look up Max Headroom Channel 4. It's an advertisement for 2009 when everything goes full digital.
There wasn't anything "computer-generated" about Max Headroom. Max was just Matt Frewer with plastic hair and a plastic suit, filmed in real-time, then they edited the video and audio to achieve the "computer-generated" effects. Max was actually about 20 years ahead of his time, he's still funny as hell today, funnier than Jim Carrey (this is where Jim Carrey stole his whole act).
yep, nothing like it now.. lol I never thought I'd say the same thing as my parents.. but, todays music, movies, ect, it's not the same.. it's sad really :(
The eighties were just the seventies, re-packaged. They used wire-framed computer graphics, chrome tubing, plastic plants and back-lit the whole fucking lot in green. It was a kind of dystopia with shoulder pads!
@ladyluck2096 sorry to say he wasnt ladyluck...he was an actor with a large amount of prosthetics and make up on in front of a camera. All the jitter FX were added later (except of course in live interviews on other shows, where there wasnt use of the video glitches). That makes it even better to me, Matt Frewer is amazingly good as Max..
@Chynaash The entire series in available on DVD now; you really should check it out, to see how they so accurately predicted the state of the media today.
@MrJacMac1986 I like how you actually looked up exactly how old she was when this video was made before posting your comment. Just a lucky guess, right? Not!
I think you'd have to record the whole thing first, then it's a case of painstakingly copy/pasting some parts and deleting others in WMM, or any other program.
@pananont, there was practically NO ainmating of any kind. In the early days even the background was not animated. it was all just vid editing and voice mixing, pretty crazy to think how "digital" they made one guy look in an era with no such tech haha
i think this was a tv show about a guy who got stuck in a computer and when viral. there were humans of course that were i think detectives or somehting. i was a little girl (just aged myself haha. 25) i can't remember much.
@mccoobs I remember the brit pilot, the chrysalis music video show, part of the us cyberdrama and some of his talk show. The drama's now out on DVD. Matt IS Max, in actuality. Check out maxheadroom*com.
SuNR4Ve said: "he sounds like Johnny Bravo" My answer: Actually, Johnny Bravo sounds like Elvis Presley, and Max Headroom doesn't sound like either of them.
