Retrojunk

Wow. Trevor did it again. He introduced me to a site so dangerously addictive that it undoubtedly will have to be monitored by the FDA. Its name? Retrojunk.

The premise behind Retrojunk is elementary. It collects quotes, intros, theme music, general overviews, and trailers from movies, television shows, and commercials of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s into one, easy-to-use site. Yummy, right? Oh damn, you don't know the half of it. . . you can also download the trailers, etc. to your harddrive, you know, so when you're stranded in an airport you can watch a trailer for a movie you've already seen forty, fifty times (I sought out, for no reason I can possibly explain, the trailer to 1994's ultimate hit, Ace Venura, Pet Detective. Oh. and A.L.F. Trevor? He-Man and the Masters of the Universe and Gummi Bears.). Awesome.


PS - Go for the download instead of the Active X - buffering sucks.
