In 1996 a film was released that combined the animated Looney Tunes with the reality based basketball star Michael Jordan. That film was called Space Jam. Incredibly, Warner Brothers still maintains the movie's website, which is a snapshot of web design from the time period.

I remember around that time period being pretty upset when movies created domain names specifically for a movie that was only going to be "around" for a few months or years at most. I recommended (to my viewing companions) that it be productioncompany.com/movietitle. I'm glad to see that Space Jam followed my advice.

Space Jam was one of the most important movies of my childhood. It came out the same year as NBA at 50, so that was a big year for me as a 6 year old. I used to watch these movies over and over (along with one about the Chicago Bulls dynasty). One day my oldest brother told me that Denzel Washington, the man hosting NBA at 50, was the sexiest man in the world. I didn't know what that meant, but from then on I felt like I had to watch the movie in secret. My godmother came into my room to watch with me as I was watching it my requisite once-a-week and I felt so ashamed and and uncomfortable I had to get up and leave.

I was older than the target audience when this came out, but I gotta say, that toy of Marvin Martian's rocket ship (The Martian Maggot) is one of the best and most useful movie tie-in toys of the last 15 years. I think it opens up to some kind of stupid basketball goal or something, but it just looks great as a 1950's rocket. Partial view of it in this awesome photo of mine and a better view of it in this shitty photo of mine.

Wow that takes me back. It really does look good and work well by 1996 standards. The top frame seems quite useless and the graphics (spinning 'Games' ball especially) are incredibly dated, but the site does display properly and has good navigation. This is SO much better than many other examples of 1996-era websites. It's a little odd that it's still up and not updated, but I love it and I hope they keep it around for people younger than I to see a good example of what was well-done web design in the early-ish days.

This movie is an example of what's wrong with movie making. It was never intended to be a good movie, or make money. It was just a way to sell toys, which it did very well.
Imagine the screens this piece of junk occupied, taking space and time from movies that might have been creative efforts. Instead, we get this, a movie with no soul, never intended to be any more than a cynical advertisement for plastic crap.
Such is the nature of mass communications synergy.

One of the best things I've ever witnessed was a result of Space Jam.
I was at a performance of the Portland Cello Project (the 2008 Christmas Sweater Spectacular, with the Flash Chorus and Mirah) and one of the featured vocal performers of the evening sang Fly Like An Eagle and then proposed to his girlfriend onstage. She looked like she was mortified but she took it pretty well and said yes. Then they went and drank whiskey.

This may be the only time it will ever be appropriate to point out that Space Jam's novelization takes gross liberties compared to the original film.
The most egregious change replaces Bill Murray — entering the interstellar basketball match at the finale — with the Roadrunner.
This is what turned me, a young appreciator of Murray's performances in films like Ghostbusters and Caddyshack, against the Roadrunner. Perhaps Wile E. Coyote felt a similar sleight once upon a time. Perhaps I will not be destined to repeat his fate when a chance at reckoning arrives.

Crusty Old Systems Admin: Why not? It's a piece of history. And I worked on it back in the day.
NMM: Yeah, I built sand castles as a kid too. Doesn't mean I had them bronzed. Do you have any idea how negative the ROI is on this thing? It doesn't stay up for free; not to mention, I could use you on our customer service database migration project.
COSA: You've heard of Leon, haven't you?
NMM: Who's he?
COSA: Leon built the original set of pages, then went on to build-out the version of Linux this entire company runs on. He really loved the Space Jam site, thought of it as one of his children. Eventually he was recruited by a shady Eastern European outfit. No one knows exactly who or where he is today.
NMM: Good for him, what does this have to do with --
COSA: If any of the Space Jam pages are down for more than 24 hours, we go dark and all of our executive emails, logins, and passwords are sent directly to the Russian Mafia.
NMM: Goddammit, you expect me to believe that?
