@Rookervik we did it because of you man!! you started a topic about this and then it was implemented. I updated the runcommand wiki with the details:

@lilbud really nice! I think I'll see this image frequently on the weekends... :-)

[Rookervik]

@meleu Ooh nice. I'll have to update my setup script and make sure runcommand is updated. This sounds really neat!

I have a bunch of wallpapers I made some years ago that I haven't really been able to use. They would be neat here. An example of GameGear would be this:

Woops, don't run the setup script updater if you're on pipplware. >.< Format time.

Hey Lilbud, could u make a 'Stranger Things' theme screen?
Many thx!

[lilbud]

@StoneColdMarco I did a while ago, I just have to find it on my computer. Is that show as good as they say?

[StoneColdMarco]

@lilbud it's absolutly amazing! The show gives you that creepy/scary 80's movie feelings but with an amazing plot and effects! You will be hooked after one episode 👻 And if you got the time, have you seen the movie 'the Lost Boys'? It would make a great screen!

[lilbud]

@StoneColdMarco Never seen that movie. But I am going through a bunch of old movies.

@StoneColdMarco @lilbud
The Lost Boys was a great movie back in the day! I haven't seen it in years so I don't know how well it holds up today. Many years later they made a sequel but I never saw it and heard that it wasn't very good and only Corey Feldman reprises his roll from the first movie.

I guess there's actually 2 sequels and they both went straight to video.

Never seen that movie. But I am going through a bunch of old movies.

@lilbud what old movies have you been watching or planning on watching?

[lilbud]

So far I have seen

Highlander

Weekend at Bernie's

Trading Places

Caddyshack

Wargames

Ferris Bueller

Forgat to mention Short Circuit

Planning to watch Blade Runner and Coming to America

@backstander the 2 sequels where crap... The original is still great! Got a copy on vhs, dvd, SE dvd and blu ray. Vertigo ( comicbook publisher) is making a Lost Boys comic

@lilbud
Those where all great movies that I remember watching when I was a kid. Others I remember enjoying as a kid where The Goonies, The 3 Amigos, The Neverending Story, Beetlejuice, Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal, the 2 Bill & Ted movies, Uncle Buck, Airplane!, The Karate Kid and some of my friends didn't agree but I kind of likes the 2nd Highlander movie better.

If you haven't already, you should watch the original Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness movies...then maybe watch the TV show Ash vs Evil Dead.
I think those would make a great splashscreen!

Also The Secret of NIMH which was a dark cartoon but had some great visuals!

Don't forget 'Within the Woods' that started it all.

[backstander]

@mediamogul
Oh yeah, how could I have forgotten Within the Woods!
I enjoy a movie with Bruce Campbell in it! Even if it's a really bad B-movie lol!

@backstander

Also, how awesome was it to see Ellen Sandweiss make her return as Cheryl a few weeks back? Great season so far!

@lilbud
Blade Runner is a "must-watch". But Neverending Story... I don't like it...

I don't know if you are looking for movies from the 80's only, but here's a short list that I like:

• Total Recall
• 2001: a Space Odyssey
• 12 Monkeys
• A Clockwork Orange
