Repo Man
Now it's been forever since I've seen this, I thought (maybe 20 years?), but having been impressed with Mulholland Drive I thought I'd watch it again.
Probably I didn't see it, since the only scene I remembered was the one where the cop is vaporized by the trunk, otherwise it was all as fresh as if I were seeing it brand new. And absolutely brilliant, a little tighter plot-wise than the typical David Lynch, full of irony and surreal humor. If anything survives the 80's it should probably be this...

eBay VS Kijiji?
And the grim flogging off of excessive materialism, generally at a loss. So far it's just been Kijiji, I console myself with the fact that what doesn't sell there can be moved on eBay. I'm not really too concerned with market price, more with getting it out so I can get more in. And getting it out so I can buy some food and eat, I'm not due back in Hell for another 10 days, and things are getting pretty lean.
It amazes me what sells. Not so much what sells, I mean, I bought it so why wouldn't anyone else? But what sells vs what doesn't, the cameras, all of them, interest shown for every one, not one has sold. But both the radios - the first, a Crosley, cool, retro, but not working, then a week later the same buyer called to make an offer on the Motorola. The only interest, both sold on the first inquiry.
Vintage Motorola Clock Radio, sold for $10.

Expensive Wine is for Suckers
Having worked on and off in hospitality for over 30 years, I've always known this. Not that I'd say it, of course, one never argues with the customer, and often it's as much about "the effect" as it is about the wine - the impression on guests, dates, etc.
But this video sums it up quite well:
