That 70s Show was a classic home town show about life in the midwest. More or less focused on the latter half of the 1970s. It effectively captures teenage basement culture.
Here our heroes sit in a classroom on photo, day. In the corner is the Wisconsin State Flag.
Here is another angle of the Wisconsin, State Flag. Wisconsin really is in the middle of the world since a 45th Parallel North crosses its state lines.
A flag for a small remote uninhabited isles of the coast of South Africa. Not to be confused with Prince Edward Island of Canada. The Prince Edward Islands belong to South Africa.
Instead of an oak, an acacia tree stands alone on the center.
All sorts of flags appear in the 1980s classic, over the rainbow type of adventure - Labyrinth 1986.
David Bowie is the Goblin King. A Goblin with a red helmet pennon is seen in front of the King. Also note the king carries a crystal ball staff.
Another larger Goblin flag, were the Goblins rally to attack our heroes.
Apparently in the Goblin King's chamber has the royal standard, that has purple with heraldic border of orange.
Here the Scare Crow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion with Toto look longingly at our heroine. Oops, I meant the Cranky Hobbit with a heart of Gold, the Brave Tiny Humanoid Dog ,and Friendly Magical Hairy Oger, and the Shaggy Dog, Merlin.
The film Synchronicity 2016 pays effective homage to that Ridley Scott movie about that...movie...called....ummmKnife Jogger? Sword Sprinter? Dagger Dasher? orwas it a Blade Booker? There is one conversation about the Jungian concept of things happening out of groovy coincidental happenstance, but rather sci-fi time traveling hijinks of a Doc and Marty porportions are the main theme of the story. Perhaps a better name for this movie would have been Temporal Dimensions or Time Runner 2016?
Maybe the underlying unsaid theme is that synchronicity events are actually waves of disturbance from parallel dimensions?
Nonetheless, this movie really captures the feels of the old 1980s sci-fi adventure. A true blue blooded, shot in blue tones, sci-fi movie without CGI, less a cartoon and more a thoughtful diddy. Of vexillological significance is the Japanese banner on the upper crosswalk.
The US Flag appears in the cult classic movie Swamp Thing 1982. When the helicopter lands in the swamp the pilot just happens to be wearing a US flag sticker on his helmet.
Swamp Thing is a cult classic for several reasons. It is the last of the great Man-in-Rubber-Suit B-movies. More than just a monster fighting the people, this monster is ugly and also beautiful. He or it, is the anti-hero who lives off an echo of love, to protect the ones who had shown kindness. A hero that repays kindness with strength, a very strange exchange these days.
Swamp Thing has that 1950s sci-fi feel, and even has a learning lecture at the audience. In the movie the lead scientist tells his new security agent that the ugly swamp is actually very beautiful, if you look closely. He later compares the human body on a cellular level as an ugly swamp itself, working in harmony with the environment creating life. True, since in many ways the swampy cellular nature of tissues and ugly guts connects itself in an almost magical and mysterious way. So never forget that your body too is an amazing, poweful, beautiful, and mysterious swampy environment of cells and materials that can bring healing into this world. Here Swamp Thing is using swamp powers to heal an injured boy.
One of the major themes spoken and effectively presented in this film is that beauty can be found anywhere if you look hard enough. You could reboot this movie, but hopefully the themes of love and beauty don't get lost. It'd be nice to see one more Man-in-a-Rubber-Suit movie, without CGI.
Club Paradise 1986 is a movie that takes place on the fictional island of St. Nicholas.
This island has a unique flag that is a British Canton on yellow. On the field are two crossed black palms with red setting sun in the distance.
An all star cast plays out in this campy 1980s movie.
A silly flag from 1994, a kids time warp dance of sorts for Doc and Biff heads. Made for kids, yet captures the 1990s.
Camp Nowhere is a silly platter of 90s style 80s style of meatballs. It is the campiest of campy camping movies, worth a nostalgic chuckle for the whole family.
Don't know what campy means? It's the tone of this campy movie. Get it? Campy? Ha ha ho ho hehe hah!
