Wayne's World - Seriously
Finding the old Wayne's World trailer on YouTube was sublime.
Don't you think the story line - new medium enables amature to reach many, the amature gets lured by money and power the big corps offer, disillusion follows, and wisdom (well that's one of the endings) results - timely?
It both marked the end of the 80s metal subculture I grew up in, and foretold the rise in participatory media.
New York Times reviewer Janet Maslin thought the idea of "Wayne and Garth's late-night, public-access television show, the one they do from the sofa in Wayne's basement, is so good that a wily television executive (Rob Lowe) will scheme to exploit their commercial potential" strained the movie's credibility.
Heh. No foresight that one.
