Links: X-Entertainment

If you look at some of my previous posts, it's no secret the spirit of the 80s and early 90s hangs heavily in my mind. When you grow up in a certain time, it's hard to ignore the obvious appeal of looking back with (sometimes) rose-colored glasses.

X-Entertainment is a site and a blog that reminisces - nay, revels - in the mystical period of time after "Star Wars" but before "The Phantom Menace." A time when Saturday morning cartoons weren't all anime ripoffs, when the NES reigned supreme, when Marty McFly and ALF took the nation by storm.

They have plenty of fascinating articles (well, depending on your affinity for nostalgia), but my favorite article is a movie review of "The Wizard," a 90 minute long Nintendo infomercial-cum-movie featuring some of the most iconic aspects of that era - Fred Savage, Super Mario Bros. 3, and Real Life's classic single, "Send Me An Angel."
