Reply to comment by HighOnGoofballs in Ben Affleck on the set of "The Voyage of the Mimi" in 1984. by IdyllicOleander

You must have been in a rich school district, in 84 around where I grew up you'd still be using 16 mm film projectors for the most part. The VCR/TV cart set up only mostly replaced film by 1990 and even then I can still remember watching a few films in the early 90's. The film of a woman giving birth we watched in health class was infamous as it did not shy away from showing what having a baby really looked like.

Nope, standard public school. Maybe had two or three of these for the whole school so they got wheeled from classroom to classroom. We watched the challenger explode live on TV in the library too
