I think they were probably Dunnes brand or Pennies or something but so many kids un school had them. Anyone else?

Crazy how a little squiggle and font can define a whole decade.

Found this in the trash. It’s a sticker it seems. Any idea if these are sought after ?

Seemingly everyone wore them back then. At least where I grew up. Mine were white canvas with beige heels. And I think there was also a black version with beige heels.

I kinda want them back but I can’t find anything remotely similar.

I know today’s theaters have recliners, IMAX, and all the premium upgrades, and I appreciate those too.

But every now and then I find myself visiting this older theater just because of the atmosphere.

The giant Art Deco-inspired chandeliers. The colorful ceiling. The huge open atrium. The murals. The patterned carpet. It reminds me of a time when simply walking into the lobby felt like part of the moviegoing experience.

As a kid in the ‘90s, going to the movies wasn’t just about the film. You’d wander the lobby while your parents bought tickets, stare up at the ceiling, play arcade games, smell the popcorn, and feel like you were somewhere special before the previews even started.

I know these kinds of theaters still exist, but they feel a lot rarer now. Seeing one that’s been preserved instantly takes me back.
Anyone else miss when movie theaters were destinations instead of just places to watch a movie?

ETA: this is the Cinemark Century Sam's Town 18 in Las Vegas, NV

Been messing around with a 90s-inspired lowbrow style lately. Started these as hand-drawn sketches and finished them in Procreate. I’m really into that gritty, weird cartoon aesthetic from the 90s and just having fun with it.
Would love to hear what you guys think. If you dig the work, I post more on IG: @malditoc0

Needed a new can opener. Found this at Goodwill for $10 brand new from 1993. Works great!
