WB's original Space Jam website is a blast from the past!

quote:
Soon it will be 2011. That's crazy. Instead of saying "two thousand and eleven", we'll likely be saying it "twenty eleven". Maybe it's just me, but every time I hear it like that, I think "Man, that's some sci-fi shit right there!" And if we look at how the internet has progressed over the last couple of decades, it's pretty amazing and almost sci-fi-ish in and of itself. What websites can do now is stunning compared to that of the mid-90s. What will they be doing in another ten years, I wonder.

But before you think forward, why not think backwards? Thanks to the curiosity of BuzzFeed co-founder Jonah Peretti (via Twitter), it's been discovered that Warner Bros. has left the official website for their 1996 live-action/animated hybrid SPACE JAM almost completely in tact! Seriously, it looks like it was made using GeoCities (and I'm talking about way before they got snatched up by Yahoo!). It's very cool and kind of hilarious. A sort of internet time capsule, really.

I remember the first trailers that had website addresses at the end of them- it was a novelty at the time, now it's harder to name trailers that don't have them. I looked a few old ones up recently just for fun and most of them were gone- has the Space Jam one been up all the time?
